The new GTX 1070 kinda overpriced tho.

Need to wait for rx480 benchmark before deciding.

Plus we dont know much about the upcoming rx490.

I sure hope the performance are on par with GTX 980 or higher than GTX 970. Im looking for options to replace my old ASUS 7950 TOP.

Plus im still gaming at 1080p LOL

Dude, are you serious? no wonder my previous GTX 260 was doing badly when newwer cards came out.

But Im guessing the issues lies on more driver optimization of latest GPU cores and features that might not be available on older cards.

Like the latest API and Async features in latest trends.

How much does the 2k monitor costs these days, thinking of upgrading sometime later.

You use Skylake K series?

So its just a refreshed R9?

That couldnt be right bro..

I sure hope so too, or else my budget of rm1.2k-1.6k gpu gonna be smashed

Lets see the official ones soon.

Wow..just when Im planning to change to new card..the 'sweet spot' cards are battling it out like crazy.

BTW

I was considering to buy 1070 before, but due to budget constraint, It seems that the cards have been priced WAAAAYY HIGHER than those in the US.

So just when I decided to downgrade my cards to RX480 and past NVIDIA maxwell cards, VULKAN and DX12 happens.

Regardless we already know now NVIDIA cant keep up to fully utilize Async Compute, so for budget gamer like me, ASyc Compute is like a blessing from the heaven. And RX480 (and ALL AMD cards) tramples over ALL NVIDIA cards (of course after matching the price point and targeted models) except Pascals.

Now they said GTX 1060 would fight head to head with RX480, and with overly high mark up price for cards in Malaysia, I dont think a mid performance cards would sell well at RM 1.4-1.5k, thats just ridiculous..

So back to my situation, RX 480 seems to be a good choice, but when you factor in a used R9 390x cards...dude..its getting wayyy more complicated.

Since I re set my budget to RM 1.5k, any suggestion for 1080p cards? I want to set the games to ALL ULTRA setting.

now im stuck with Used R9 390x and new RX480. Since NVIDIA MAxwell GTX 900 already obsolete. I would prefer for a more future proof cards.

Woohh...The after market RX 480, yeah maybe I should wait a while longer.

Just when I thought RX480 can do it, but maybe the aftermarket ones will.

Thats the thing, what if suddenly AMD troll and launch rx490 or RX FURY like they did with previous card line up? That might be faster in dx12 or vulkan, compared to 1070 or even 1080?

put 2k for 1070 then next year a 1.6 k card from AMD tapau with vulkan or dx12.

Habis woo nangis

Pricing wise I would say due to local suppliers la, they might want to earn more, thats why the pricing here is ridiculous.

But if you ask me, game developers are starting to look towarda the advantage of Asyc Compute, I mean, my old card 7950 beating nvidia TITAN on doom vulkan benchmark?

Dude thats the advantage of async compute that any developer would want, because they can deliver better experience to any gamers regardless of their hardware. More gamers=better game sales

Of course nvidia have money and power, heck their pascals dont even need asyc compute to beat any AMD cards.

But for those who are budget conscious who cant afford to drop 2 k on gpu, that asyc compute is a freakin saviour bro. You can spend less on a card that works great on budget 1080p monitor, to me thats a bargain.

Dont get me wrong though, NVIDIA CARDS ARE THE KING. u gotta pay the king with royal price to get his service la.

In fact it is priced at rm 800-1000 in the US.

Msia? Hambik rm1.3k, tammau beli sudah bro.

But what todo, they have to pay gst, shipping and whatnot.

Thats why im contemplating to get AMD rx480, because i know damn sure AMD will release a better RX variant after they released the lower end like 470 and 460.

Just like they do with Fury cards last time.

Plus the pricing of RX480 is very expensive, but considerable since the local markets here might not be enough for a fully licensed distributor to survive If they match the US retails.

And of course we all can take the best solution and buy Pascals, but it seems overkill if play at 1080p monitor.

So yeah, will have to wait further before deciding, but for now I am more interested on what Async Compute can bring us in the future.

Since I dont play games that much like before, I always have that half a year gap before buying new games (heck i still havent finish witcher 3 or doom). So by the time I buy latest games most probabbly they already fully utilize dx12 or vulkan.

And due to this also i damn scared to jump back to nvidia, since the cards does not age well compared to AMD, once u jump, be ready for yearly or dual yearly card upgrade to maintain the performance.

I remembered it was this year I wanted to get gtx970, and look at current situation when dx12 and async compute implemented? Wooh damn lucky i didnt make the jump and wait further.

Well thats just me personally, I prefer long term usage than top performer, so far AMD cards does age very well. Their drivers seems to keep old cards like mine performing as good as current gens.

But for those who have money and heavy gamers, I think NVIDIA can help them getting the best performing card currently.

yeah agreed, amd have to work harder, thanks to that they are killing it in dx12

wooh thats awesome, cant wait to see the benchmarks
been thinking about that too, but lets see the aftermarket rx480 performs first.
