When you upgrade to GeForce GTX 1080 and your girlfriend says " that's a waste of money "

Apr 18, 2017 2:18 AM

Me and my boyfriend went together to get 1080's [:

Well, bang for buck while also keeping a decent FPS would be 1070. Unless you plan doing 4k. Technically she is correct.

getting a 1080 is only really worth it if your monitors are 1080p+. sadly my two monitors are 480 and 720. not even 720p 60fps. just 720

You know that she's right. A 1080 is an overkill

But remember that the only thing that matters is what you think about it. Even if it's a bad investment economically speaking it has enough>

>value for you to buy it which means it must hold important personal value to you and that's what matters the most.

overkill? The 1080 barely spits out 90 fps at 1440p in most big title games

yeah i guess, if you like 1080p at 60 fps hahha

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

1060 is the best value/performance ratio right now, but maybe they want to do 4K?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Well the 1060 is even better for price/performance, while we're at it lets wait for Vega and Volta because they will be even better...

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I don't think Vega will be here all that soon considering AMD just announced another gen of GPUs based on Polaris.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe he got the funds?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

i planned on getting the 1060... but decided for a RX 480 4GB... I don't regret it... i can MC with shaders at about 60 FPS.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Interesting. My r9 290 is close to identical in most AAA games but bombs shaders at 20fps Even the super lightweight shaders run like shit

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

SEUS FTW. In Vanilla with shaders i get over 60 FPS, but i play it with FTB Beyond.... still not that bad on the FPS.

Hoping peeps are tech savy here, what would be the best upgrade from RX 460 at around 200€ish? I only know AMD and nothing about Nvidia...

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Second 460, or just wait until a generation or two passes. do you really need the upgrade, or can you handle your PC as is?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My Pc as is is great really, 1080P on witcher 3 with concessions. I'd just like to remove the concessions :D

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Just wait. It'll be a better buy a few months from now, when 500 series drops, etc.

There really isn't a point in getting the Pascal, it's roughly 1-2% better than the 1080ti for almost double the price depending where you..

Or he doesn't play at more than 30fps, because there aren't any 30hz monitors, side by side he'd be able to see the difference.

With an SLI-ready build, a second 1080 in 2-3 years runs $300 if you need the upgrade, but for the TI the better deal would be replacing it.

I do hope that the prices would go down because my current pc is running an gtx 750 ti with a mobo that doesn't accept newer cards.

Iirc all of the aftermarket cards were around 949 across all manufacturers and the founder's editions were around 800€.
