This shit happens with every consumer electronics launch... especially the bleeding edge. For the price they aren't worth it compared to 1070 and 1080 Link to post Share on other sites

I get how some people wouldn't want to spend over $500. Link to post Share on other sites

They simply aren't worth it. The 2070 especially is JUNK. Sure the 1080ti is better but its a fucking not worth the money over a 1080. You don't need more than a 1080 for this gen.

JonDnD 2,816 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I liked how Nvidia sneak upgrade the 1060. I might just get that. I think that will get console quality at 60fps for the rest of the gen . Link to post Share on other sites

Like I can play FH4 at high/ultra with settings that eat VRAM at medium at 60fps. I mean, that's good enough, but I feel like I should have more. That's why I was considering a 1070. I think my PSU can handle up to a 1080 / or 2070. I don't need it. But I kinda want it Link to post Share on other sites

I think my PSU can handle up to a 1080 / or 2070. I don't need it. But I kinda want it To be fair, I told you that would be an issue before, or right after you bought it. The 1070 would have been better. And yea, it is addicting in a way. I like having a nice PC with high end parts. You don't need to spend thousands like I do, but you'd be surprised at just how cost effective PC gaming can be if you plan your upgrades right. If you do.. you're not really spending much more than $500-600 at any given time. Your CPU will last you 10 fucking years man. You're good on that for a while. You might have to pick up a couple sticks of RAM in the future, but with a 1070/1080, you're set for well into next gen. And being honest... max settings are the biggest fucking waste of resources possible. Between Ultra and High, in many games it's impossible to tell the difference... and you can gain 20fps by doing so. All these "maxed out" benchmarks are fine for comparing cards against cards... but when comparing a worthy alternative to a console.. lowering the settings to console quality to play at much higher framerates is always desirable. And for me, the biggest draw of PC gaming is that I can just have everything on one system... not having to decide between which versions to buy for which console and which friends will play on x console with me and this and that. Everything is just there. I used to be a hardcore cow as you know... but last gen consoles lost their magic with me. Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,816 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I think my PC was a good deal for 850. I can buy a 1070 and sell my 1060 for a hundo or so, IF I feel I need it. I only have one game on PC that taxes my GPU. Im playing PS3 quality fighting games for the most part LOL I think a 1080 will keep up with next gen if I stick with 1080 which I probably will because I don't see myself buying another 4k HDR tv soon. When gamepass comes to PC I may consider a 1070 or a 1080 if the prices become reasonable Link to post Share on other sites

You should be able to find a really good deal if you're a bit patient. Selling your other card will help too. That's what I've done. I buy high end parts, but when I sell them, they still have high resell value. I sell my previous cards and since they are high end cards, they hold their value well, and people are eager to buy them when they know people will be selling theirs to get the newest thing. I sold my 1080 Ti for $750! That's only $300 less than what I paid for it over a year and a half ago. My 2080 Ti effectively cost me half of the asking price. Of course it still a stupid amount of money to spend on a GPU... Nvidia is pushing a bit too far these days.. but fuck it. I have the money and it's my hobby.. it gets used every single day and performs amazingly. Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,108 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm trying to track down a Vega 64 for relatively cheap, seems to be the best bang for your buck card at 1440p. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, presumably AMD will have something to compete with them on the high end and they'll bring costs down from here. If they are competitive, I'd say $999 becomes $749, and $699 becomes $599.

I'm only looking for 60 FPS at 1440p, it seems to do that handily so I'm having issue justifying anything beyond that. I also have a FreeSync monitor so I don't want any stinky Nvidia products.
