The more I read the more confused I get.

I am just going to stick to my decision to buy a Zotac GTX1080 AMP Extreme Edition.

Most sensible advice, I am going to focus completing my games given that I have plenty of backlog games.

Well, anything that comes without links are personal opinions anyway. 😃

I can post links on other forums though that have the same opinion as mine with regards to my earlier statement, but I guess it's not necessary I guess.

Gaming wise, low-mid range card I'm sure you can find enough benchmarks done all over the net where you can see at least in Malaysia you've got to spend a bit more to get the same performance for nvidia compared to amd.

For example, my own 260x (which I bought around 400 last time). The equivalent performance nvidia card is 750ti which if I remember correctly was around 5++ that time. It' the same with next range of cards.

For me, choice is simple. 😃

1. I go for cheaper cards for same performance.
2. Games that I play. For example 2 of the Total War games now are AMD base, so that enougj for me to stick to AMD especially when many nvidia users (at totalwarcentre and official total war forums) are reporting performance lost when using dx12 for totalar warhammer compared to AMD which seen gains instead compared to dx11. 😃

ok i understand you're on damage control when you cherry-picking statement from conclusion. I do you a favor not to post those hard numbers which what matters the most after your fiend also need to lick your boot.

kahkahkah. peace. welcome to 2nd /k/

Blocked. Been exercising this privilege more often these days.

Erm, this is exactly what I said earlier. You can't generalize.

The above bolded part was referring to mid / low side like R9 380 vs GTX 960, and R7 260X vs GTX750Ti.

Anyways.. just for shits..

It doesn't really make sense on which is good/bad.

If you would ask me, I would happily take Nvidia, with it's CUDA cores and wide support on a lot of software, I can complete my jobs faster, compared to AMD that it is more on gaming, and less on jobs... (Well, it can do something, but anytime if I have $$, AMD is a better choice)...

OT: I'm using Iris Pro on the laptop, and that is more then enough for work/game balance

PowerVR > All.



For me, all i can see is AMD hyping and hyping and cherry picking a few games. Nvidia still wins the majority of it. With GTX 970 going for RM 999, undercutting the supposely "bringing GTX 970 performance to mainstream price" RX480, it is not even a question to buy which anymore.

It is just a question of buying them(GTX 970) before stock all sold out.

Hi,


May i know where to get the GTX 970 at 999?

Is it reference card?


Thanks

ZOTAC. Check their FB.

Got RM 999 and RM 1099 for the better model.

I heard MSI also gonna cut price soon.

Rx480 is marketed as VR ready. Can gtx970 support VR?

Yes. The recommended requirement to run VR=GTX 970.

not cheap enough hoh. zotac official pricing for 8gb gtx1070 is rm1950. since it's faster than titan, the titan should cost RM1500. gtx980 should cost rm1000, and gtx970 rm700

If u like rx480 performance... u can consider gtx 970.. same performance..

Second hand is just rm900-1k with warranty.. it runs cool with ample OC headroom..

Zotac got 970 clearance sale in Malaysia, can get brand new for ~1k

Thats even better ... but I think your talking bout GTX 960 ... GTX 970 clearance is still 1400-1500. (Lazada)

in vulkan 480 performs much better thn 970...on par with 980..but so far.. only DOOM support vulkan..

The thing bout Vulkan is that we might be able to see some serious gaming on Linux.

Even if that happens it'll take a while, so no point getting a card based on that.

Heck even the GTX1000 series showed a boost in Doom's Vulkan. So if you can afford it, do get the 1070. Especially when it's priced around rm1950.

Palit. IINM the reference cooler ( blower ) new price is RM999

Sadly only in Vulkan mode and so far I think only Doom have this kind of result. The rest of the game RX480 still vastly behind 970.

I still suggest 970 for now, unless RX480's price are getting lower, because 970 are still outperform RX480 in many games.

Or wait 1060 for future proofing. Also to see if 1060's local price are low enough to 'force' AMD drop RX480's price.

Yup. Second hand should just go lower than RM800 IMHO.
