Pascal Buyers: What Did You Upgrade From?

[Arachnotronic]

If you bought a Pascal GPU (GTX 1070 or GTX 1080), I'm curious to know what you upgraded from.

Sold both of my Titan X cards a few months before release and went with my 290 for a while. When 1080 came out it replaced my 290. The 290 is doing POEM duty now.

Went from a 7870 XT to a GTX 1070. Massive performance increase, obviously.

 

[Xuanne]

Gtx 670 -> gtx 1080 :d

 

[Genx87]

Gtx 770 2gb.

I went from a 780 to a 1070 in my current box at home although I have a 7970 and 7870 in other boxes.

I really wanted to go AMD because of my great experiences with my AMD cards but they didn't have anything fast enough and I just sold my GPU and was on integrated for a month.

I game at 1440p and have a second 1200p monitor. The 1070 had significantly lower power consumption via multi monitor and has the grunt needed to game at 1440p.

While a great value, the 480 was just too slow and I don't really see AIB options giving it that big a speed boost, just better cooling.

I went from Turbo Pascal 6 to Delphi. Now I can write GUI apps! Oh, not that Pascal?

GTX980, but sold it for $318, paying $71 difference to upgrade to a 1070. :sneaky:

From a titan X, sold it for about 600 after fees so it was a 15-20% bump for 150$

Crossfire HD6970, it's been a while.

 

[CRA5HMAN]

GTX 980 to GTX 1080 to help get better results on a 144 htz 1440p Gsync monitor.

 

[rchunter]

From evga 980ti but i'm keeping it to put in my unraid server/htpc win10 vm.

 

[guskline]

Sold my 2 R9-290s in CF and moved the GTX 980 TI there

 

[MangoX]

290.

780 Ti -> 1070. Largely for lower power consumption as I just moved from full tower to mini-ITX.

This DPC latency bug talk has me nervous... card coming tomorrow.

GL getting $318 usd anymore, I can't get an offer over $350 CDN for mine

 

[thxdd]

780 > 1080 (and 1080p > 1440p)

What an awesome upgrade!

780 > 1080 (and 1080p > 1440p)

What an awesome upgrade!

Titan X - 1080. Considering pricing I was able to get on the X, it was only a few hundred (AUD) for me to upgrade to a 1080.

I have no brand loyalty (I just buy whatever is the fastest single GPU at the time), and as a general rule, Pascal isn't a messiah architecture you would usually associate with a die shrink. But easier to flip the X now and pay a small amount for the upgrade.

1080 from 980.
