Are you buying a GTX 1070/1080?

[railven]

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. That poster did make a stretch with their claim. I'm just saying the wording of the post itself might not make your point as clearly as you'd like, and it does come across as a little incendiary even if that wasn't your intention.

I shall reword it, since it was just a simple observation remembering the previous poll.

 

[exar333]

Likely will grab one, assuming it doesn't suck.

"It's complicated"

To be honest, I'm not that impressed by the 1080 but I'm still waiting for "real" reviews.

I'll need a new GPU for my new 21:9 1440o monitor so ... :/

His wording implied the forum is totally biased towards AMD as it was originally posted. Wouldn't really call it a stretch in the end. Too me it was one of those don't believe this poll as the forum is pro AMD anyways.

Broken poll to begin with. The most logical choice of I'm waiting for reviews wasn't even an option. Most likely would have neutralized the results.

Polls can be useful and counter productive at the same time. If the data is what one is really after then the voting options should be thought out carefully before the poll is started.

Look at " GPU enthusiasts, how much are you actually willing to spend? " poll for a perfect example of worthless data.

I'm not trying to bag on or offend the starters of the polls. Just trying to point out if you really are looking for the data you mush choose your voting options wisely.

Is it though? I'm pretty certain this forum is pro-for-AMD, but I have serious doubt it's reflected to any large degree in their purchasing decisions. I bet the active forum member's hardware mirrors closely the market's hardware split. I think it's more a case of a whole lot of us just plain don't like nVidia as a corporation, whether we currently buy their hardware or not.

The timing of this release along with Vega make purchases for high-end GPUs a bit unique in the next 12 months. Rather than wait a few weeks for benches from both companies, it is more 'where are you coming from' in terms of performance and if the new product delivers.

From what we have seen, the 1080/1070 would provide good performance improvements for those on 7xx/290 or slower. Incremental (but potentially impactful for 4K setups) for those on Fury/908Ti.

Vega may be more useful for those coming from 980Ti/Fury setups, but we don't know a lot about that yet.

"Totally biased?" Really? You present yourself as someone trying not to instigating and you misrepresent my post. This forum is bias, that isn't new (and there is nothing wrong with it either, it's why I posted here initially as most other forums are bias the other way and it isn't an echo chamber like S/A or AMDZone).

You didn't approach the poster who's comment was obviously "pot stirring" in which I responded to, but you tried to call me out when I refuted his comment using the data collected on this very forum.

But, you know, all in the name of keeping peace. Gotcha.

i had to decide between 660 and 7870. both were almost the same at the time in every metric. now look where the 660 is and the 7870...:thumbsdown:

It's a great card.

 

[YBS1]

It's a great card.

Which one? :sneaky:

 

[sm625]

If it costs more than a console it is not mainstream or midrange.

 

[Keysplayr]

980Ti. What else?

 

[Headfoot]

Saying something isn't midrange based on price, when the primary complaint is that it's a midrange card with a high end price doesn't remotely refute the argument.

The argument is that it's midrange in the chip family but its priced at what the highest die in the chip family used to be priced at.

 

[zlejedi]

Maybe 1080 - depending how much faster it is than 980ti. Although it's also tempting to wait for Vega and see if there's any price drops.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

I just bought a 970 last year. Will probably wait another year plus before upgrading again, at least. Maybe 1160 Ti or 1170 will be compelling. Or wait a 1260/70 if I don't get heavy into anything too GPU-crunchy before then.

 

[Rvenger]

980Ti. What else?

Would you like to continue posting off topic nonsense? Don't answer. Just stop it.

I'm not even sure why this is an issue. A poll was made, and it shows that this forum PREFERS AMD now. That's just the truth. Why anyone would get upset about a poll I don't get. The Poll shows we prefer AMD, and wow, the poll also matches this thread of people who intend to get Nvidia products.

I'm not even sure how the other poll of how much GPU enthusiasts are willing to spend is worthless data either? I'm WILLING to spend up to $2,000. Doesn't mean I will. I need to feel that it's a $2,000 worth spent. Otherwise, I'll go another route.

The 980Ti was a great card in single card mode. But in SLI/TriSLI, it was a joke, and I can't handle having joke performance in the area I need the most. Fury X had great CF performance due to AMD scaling. But support/Single card performance was a joke and I wasn't willing to sit with that.

So I ended up getting something else, and played other games until cards I feel are WORTH my money come out. Otherwise, I'll just get other stuff.

Actually, that AMD Poll is why I'm skeptical about Polaris because I feel if we were more 50/50, the other issues with Polaris like it being produced at GF would be brought up more. If the 1070/1080 are disappointing, the same thing could also be happening to AMD.

According to the current votes of those buying the cards, only half (12 people) will get the cheap GTX 1070 and 25 people will get the expensive GTX 1080.

It seams to me that $379 for Titan X performance is not working as NV would like ??? Or am I missing something here ?? I was expecting double the votes for the 1070 over 1080.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

It seems async related as the disparity in performance is present in DX12 Hitman as well. We'll find out if its fixed in a couple weeks when the reviews and benchmarks are done on the Pascal cards in those games. I think it will be fixed, it would be a large blunder to botch again like on Maxwell. Big DX12 titles are coming this year and some of them will probably be making use of async.

The 1080 reviews should be out Tuesday. Tech Of Tomorrow said the NDA is up then and they will have their review up. I think it's a good sign that the NDA expires 10 days before the cards are for sale.

Or the Nvidia buyers here are high end buyers.

The rave about the 1070 is over at neogaf.

We don't have the peasant Nvidia crowd here. Just the best!!!! jkjk you can own Nvidia no matter your wealth status!

Edit: The 1070/1080 thread over there is the highest views to thread start date ratio other than the Uncharted 4 thread (Obviously). Trust me, people are interested in the 1070/1080 and lots of them. This forum is more AMD. Head to an Nvidia forum like over there, and people are lining up to get their 1070s.

I was truly looking the cut-down GP104 which turned out to be the $449 1070. I was hoping that this would be around +20% of the 980ti for $300 which may seem like a lot but we jumped almost two full nodes so why would I expect less?

nVidia used to at least try to offer this kind of value..

The $300 8800gts was about 40% faster than the outgoing $500+7900gtx with just a half node jump.

nVidia should be charging $300 for what we think may not even equal last gen's high end. I understand if we were on the same node but this is a cutdown chip that is almost half the size! all a node that is rumored to be getting great yields! It uses normal GDDR5 and a 256-bit bus.

A $300 1070 would have been fairly compelling but now i will be waiting to see what Polaris 10 can delivery under $300 as we have zero new cards to choose from the most popular price bracket on the planet.

Eh that was what, a decade ago? Given inflation, moving up to 379 isnt outrageous. That said, if you arent in a rush. Definitely wait and see what AMD offers.

My gut feeling is people will select the higher priced option in a poll, but when they actually buy a product will look at reviews and many of them will buy the best value which could likely end up being the 1070.

 

[Genx87]

Mark me down for a 1070. However if Polaris 10 looks compelling, I can be convinced to switch back to AMD. Really depends on timing. June is busy. But July is my target date for purchase.

You're missing that more than a quarter of the people that are in the market today are planning on purchasing one of these two cards. That's an incredible amount of mind share. AMD would like that kind of number across their entire product line, not just two parts.
