Is it worth changing the Sapphire 290x tri x oc for the 1070?

About a mo th after launch. Like the 1080


1070 is like titan performance. I think yes. But if u have money just go 1080 or wait rx480 performance benchmark. Next week.

Saw report EK producing full cover waterblock for Rx480. It doest make sense to produce one for a mainstream card.... unless they know lots of people would want to overclock it because of big headroom for overclocking. 29th cant come sooner enough for proper reviews.

1070 mid range price??

aw...
2k price = mid range?

1070 more than rm2k
Rx480 rm124x+ by several distributors . Yeap if got money go for 1070
If on tighter budget Rx480 is a good option for mid range performance.
AMD high end is Vega and later Navi

IMHHO waterblock/GPU watercooling always does not make sense at all....unless it's for the very top end card. E.g. why bother with RX480 + w/c if you can spend that w/c money to top up for a better card like GTX1070?

actual pricing should be around 1.7k Rm but we suffer from low currency and big tax. how can we do about the price?

If going vr rx480 enough? Or 2x Rx 480? Will vr support cf?

heard from lingloong, price of reference card will increase to RM1300 after launch.

if not mistaken, CF and SLI is not supported for VR.

waiting for more reviews and benchmarks.

But I deeply believe RX480 > GTX1070 in term of performance/price

Maybe will buy

payday and rx480 coming up.
should i change my gc? r9 290 to rx480 or just don't?

GTX1070 is high end and GTX1080 is enthusiast. Actually for all Nvidia every generations, 3 to 4 are low end, 5 to 6 are mid end, 7 to 8 are high end.

This is promising. Might want to wait 3rd party cooler to get better performance.

If R9 290 is not satisfactory then go ahead.

Not with the pricing in Malaysia.

GTX 1070 can be acquired for as low as RM 2,000.

yeap saw those gtx 1070 1999 rrp

DEPEND on what game you playing right now ..

if it DOTA 2 ("common game") then i would say no need la ~

if you want to play big game like GTA 5 .. then yes =p

if buy GPU from tabao will it get tax?

hmm not sure though. so far its fine playing at 1440p but dat power consumption of r9 290 costs almost 2x OC'ed(i guess) rx 480s .
does 150w carries huge difference in my electric bill though?

not unless you play long hours every day
