ADATA SP550 480GB even cheaper now on Newegg's Ebay store, just $94 + 3 year warranty. The price just keeps going down, makes my superior Samsung 830 I purchased 3 years ago look like a ripoff. I'm tempted to pick one up just for backup or to go along side my 120GB.

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 performance index:
1080p
1440p
4K

Not overclocked, founders edition and the averages come from the gaming tests with a 390X as baseline. Source if anyone doesn't care that it's in Swedish and want to see the individual tests.

The 1070 looks like a good price point for my next upgrade from a 760, still waiting for benchmarks.

I think it can be reduced to the following questions:
-What are some features I will want on a motherboard to make it last a few years?
-What processor do I want to couple it with?

You'll want the latest USB in this case 3.1 I guess, otherwise it's all the same mostly. For processor get a Skylake for sure, 6600k should last you a long time and is very fast. I would replace your PSU considering the age of your system, I threw together a little upgrade that should be fine in all regards:

You will want to upgrade the GPU at a later date too depending on which R9 you actually have..

Thanks for the quick reply. That mobo seems to have a bit of everything, though what are you referring to when you say that it's "mostly" the same? (across different mobos).
The gfx card is a 270x so OK for at least a year?
I think the build you linked changed from when I first looked at it? or for some reason I remember looking at a mobo with a M.2 line earlier today.
Nothing is impossible, only some things for some people.

1070 = probably roughly 980ti performance at $379 MSRP

1080 = like 30% better (just took a glance at reviews cause i g2g) - http://www.overclock.net/t/1600401/various-gtx-1080-reviews/

Maybe the 1060 will be interesting.


Maybe, but if you're considering that performance level and looking primarily for price/performance you might be more interested in the flood of used 970/980/390/390x's hitting the market. Unless you want next-gen NVENC and a passive cooled GPU lol

The 1080 reference version was showing pretty equal to 980 SLI (plus or minus depending on the game, performing better in games with DX12 support).

Yeah lol pretty much

I don't need a new card <_<

I'm prob waiting for the HBM2 flagships - 16GB of VRAM and plausibly another 25-50% overall performance.

[image loading]

2.78x the perf/watt of Hawaii @1080p*, which is one of the most popular GPU's right now.

Nvidia seems to like claiming 2x perf/watt when they're actually nowhere close, they have to cherry pick a number to get that and then next gen they claim 2x perf/watt again, cherry picking it in a different way that conflicts with what they said last generation. Perf/watt hasn't improved by 4x since Kepler, it has improved by maybe 3x - 3.2x or so (hard to say exactly).

AMD was claiming 2.5x perf/watt this gen with Polaris i think, which would put them in the same ballpark as Pascal but still slightly behind if they deliver on it.

*Perf/watt is a little bit friendlier for AMD if you look at high resolutions - http://tpucdn.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1080/images/perfwatt_3840_2160.png

You should be able to roughly compare it to the 980ti for FPS as that fits in with what was said and where the 1080 has landed (some 1.3x faster) - It may be a bit off that number and be better at certain things, but for a general performance level that's about right.

Efficiency should be gtx1080-class but probably a bit worse because Nvidia is claiming to get 1.43x the bandwidth from gddr5x at the same power as gddr5; power consumption will be lower (1.2x lower?). We don't actually know that much on paper but it's easy enough to make accurate educated guesses.

The 680 is a little better than your 760 - http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1719?vs=1715

The 760 and 1070 are roughly the same class of GPU as well (same position in the product stack) but the 1070 is ahead on manufacturing process (16nm from 28nm) and two architectural revisions. I think that there's already enough information to make a buying choice, but we should have a few more floods of info in the coming weeks about the 1080 and then 1070 (:

Both AMD and Nvidia are in a position to knock it off the top of the hill, it's just a question of when (late this year to mid next year is possible)

We could also get something like the higher end GPU only being available in a Titan priced card for 4-6 months

AMD still needs to improve their drivers for CPU efficiency. It's been over 2 years now since Nvidia took a huge lead, it looks like ~1.38x there.

680 is higher tier though, considering the price back then. I think it was ~$100 more than my Windforce which I got for $240ish or a bit more.

It is, it was just the closest GPU to compare with on the list

Not sure what to think about GTX 1080 price point, it basicly offers about 25% more perf than GTX 980TI for 25% more price. It's ok i guess. It beats Titan X and is cheaper than that overpiced thing so i guess thats ok too and even true to the marketing campaign. SLI GTX 1080 will prolly be a card that finally allows to play 4k in comfortable way.

If GTX 1070 will offer same or slighlty lower perf as GTX 980 TI for 370$ i will be very impressed and will buy it in few months, will be good card for 1440p gaming.

Mid to high end for graphic cards atm seems to look like that

960 >380> 970 > 390 > 390X > 980> R9Nano> Fury(X)> 1070 (if Nvidia delivers on its promises) > 980TI >1080

I'm interested to see if AMD has something like simultaneous multiprojection for polaris - it seems built into the pascal chips and an actual gamechanger for VR headsets utilizing it for performance gain. We should see as soon as they announce details, which should come soon

How much will the price of the 10xx drop by Cannonlake release? My 1230v3 and aforementioned 760 still does justice for the work I'm doing and gaming.

i don't think 1070 price will change very much for a while

Specifications for the GTX 1070 is out, from what I hear there will be a larger gap between 1080 & 1070 than there was between 980 & 970 but the 1070 will still be at 980Ti / Titan X performance or slightly faster(according to Nvidia).
