well thats why i read the reviews and they point out that games like mordor when ultra max settings will indeed use up lots of vram as high as near 6gb.

yes most games aren't as aggressive like that, but it's there, and most noticely for higher resolutions, or newer games like that on ultra settings.

sure if people don't mind lowering setting to not ultra then shouldn't be an issue. but i don't fall under the category of users that like playing with anything other than ultra doh.gif

but ignoring the vram capacity altogether that clearly affects some titles as non issue is clearly wrong way to go about it :/ as some of us would then rather get a card with 6gbvram or more.
so using an example try convincing people get a 4gb vram fiji over say a 980ti with 6gbvram especially at the same price point. thats a tough sell rolleyes.gif

not only do most titles perform slightly better fps for 980ti, but it also has more vram. and according to reviewers the capacity does matter. not me who said this, but professional reviewers go look :}

PS: that said, i seriously doubt blizzard games will ever be pushing the gpu much  rolleyes.gif  not holding my breath for legacy of the void. i suspect it's just gonna be as gpu intensive as the old sc2. it's only games like mordor, crysis that they push the limits.

EXCEPT, there are cases where High and Ultra are damn near zero in image quality loss.

SoM comparison Ultra vs High textures:

I'm also the type of gamer who wants to max everything out, but you know... sometimes, you just need to be sensible. Why select a setting for near-zero increase in quality when performance takes a significant hit? Where's the sense in that? laugh.gif

Understand that the 970 was NEVER advertised as a card for 4k resolutions. It was always a 1080p/60fps card first and foremost, and it will remain that way until it gets phased out.

official benchmark from skylake cpu make me happy..there is no significant improvement in performance unless u guys wanna use igpu..
so no need to upgrade for new mobo/ddr4/cpu rclxms.gif maybe wait for "tick" to fully utilized 14nm cpu

And... the fact that it's going to cost $400 but still using the same glue+TIM method... lol, yeah way to go Intel.

Anyways that's offtopic.

Do you think is it reasonable to sell my ASUS 980 Strix (used) at RM2k?

well thats what happened when they placed the wrong bet on hmc :/

we thought those fiji low stock was bad. now with rumors that hbm2 will also be low on supply, and amd going to get priority. thats gonna suck for nvidia doh.gif

i'm wondering though should i get a gp100 or a gp104 ? not really sure whats the difference other than the former will come first. will it follow the same strategy that the higher end card comes out first ? cause i rather get that card if thats the case doh.gif

Is my Intel 3770 ivy bridge going to be enough :/ ? don't really feel like upgrading that until cannonlake. Also wondering how the amd zen will turn out, whether it will rock the boat in the cpu market kek.

Indeed, by the time AMD exclusivity with Hynix is over, Nvidia is the one enjoying the cost saving due to more mature HBM2 yield.

Hahaha even at 2k I would need to fork additional RM1.4k to get back ASUS 980 TI Strix (comparing apple to apple) for 20% performance increase... doesn't seem to worth it... hmm.gif
