is my current i7-3770 be good enough for the ASUS GTX1080 StriX OC 8GB DDR5X 256BIT i preordered ? or will it bottleneck :/

It will still come down to game developer's optimization. For example Doom's recent update bring performance improvement, if they dont it will stay there.

I wonder anyone with current gen high-end GPU still have Crysis ( 1st gen ), how does it run now

Don't have to worry, just go install and enjoy.

just noticed a shop stocking on EVGA GTX1080 FTW. their the only shop i've seen that stocks on EVGA for this so far

will do by the way i noticed there is a promotion price for it here

thx to napster2142 for headsup, sadly i saw too late already preordered

oppsss... sorry. Can't help you much on this right now. I'm not playing anything else apart from Witcher 3. Will most probably stay on with this game for some time more as they just launched Blood & Wine DLC.

Anyway, my setup is really similar. My 3570k also clocked at 4.1 or 4.2.

They've been the only one since GTX 9xx series.

I am having similar configuration to yours. My current rig is also using i7-3770. Have pre order MSI GTX1080 Gaming X, now waiting to arrive. I am also concern will it bottleneck as GTX 1080 will be running for 1440p display mode.

This year no more budget, maybe next year upgrade to next intel CPU generation.

I oced the GPU using preset mode by Asus, quite impress because the spec said 1860mhz, but after done gaming, max reached around 20xxmhz

My i5-3570k can reach 4.2ghz @ 1.20v stable, already tried 4.4ghz @ 1.21v - game crashes and 4.5ghz @ 1.22v - bluescreen

my 2 cent, once u have reached the highest freq, best voltage and stability, then run the freq a bit lower for daily usage

already 3 years+ with my ivy run @ 4.2ghz daily on WC

just read your post you and i are being impatient to get the strix and we both feel unlucky

i think it would be okay since mine 3570k can run The Witcher 3 all max.

DX12 Multi engine capabilties of recent AMD and Nvidia hardware (Kepler, Maxwell v1 (750 Series) and Maxwell v2 (900 Series))
http://ext3h.makegames.de/DX12_Compute.html

Kepler removed the hardware scheduler so there is no hardware scheduler on die. Since Fermi they also had Gigathread engine but that is 1 Gigathread that splits workloads, compared to 8 ACE units.

The GMU has 32 truly async compute queues, but it is incompatible with DX12 for unknown reasons:

Demonic Wrath just sharing abit here. i suggest not worry about it too much, because in the end only actual benchmarks / in game FPS that matters.

You can use 3dmark Firestrike Advance search, put your CPU and GPU config, and see what results there from other users. Then compare to other CPU setup. Here's a quick snap



I think your CPU should do just fine. Maybe in a game that is really CPU intensive and that can utilize more than 4-cores, the difference more noticeable, but most games don't. I've seen a youtube video comparing i7-6700K and i7-5960X with GTX 1080 benching a few games, and they perform almost similar (difference in fps so little compare to the difference in price between the 2 CPUs)

i want to max out my MADVR settings. i can't use the more VHQ settings with the 680 GTX, so definitely can with the 1080




the full guide for VHQ MADVR settings for anime viewing
https://imouto.my/tutorials/madvr/

for newbs that want easy setup, KCP has preset settings
http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php...waii-Codec-Pack


i still recommend also additionally looking over the VHQ guide at imouto for further setting adjustment especially for creating profiles for videos to do the best setup for the video source types


when i get my card *not sure when (preordered but no eta ) .... i'll run a benchmark so people can use that as reference

Cut down on the Grass setting and AA setting will boost your fps to 80-90

Also depends on the location of your sample.

Grass setting is the killer in GTA V

PS:
I'm using i5 6600k 4.4Ghz with 1070 super jetstream

ikr, their promo price is just too tempting..i found them before i bought the SG set, but that time they got no stock and cannot confirm eta

thanks for sharing, that will make me want to stay another year with my ivy

will try on that, thanks for the tip

Anyone got any clue on who or where can I pre order or pay a deposit fee to order MSI GTX 1080 GAMING Z ?

Wah..that promotion price make my hand itchy leh

Trusted seller kah ? Cannot find any feedback

Err... Kepler simplified the hardware scheduler, not removed it... in the hardware, it needs to have a scheduler to keep track on which SM is idle, which SM can be retasked.. and so on. It is not reasonable if this tasks need to go back to CPU due to latency.

From their Kepler whitepaper:


As far as the Gigathread is concerned, it has 32 hardware managed queues that can support graphics/compute tasks. It seems it can be repurposed using driver.
GTX970: http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.ph...7#queuefamilies
R9 200 series: http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.ph...4#queuefamilies

If you noticed,
GTX970: 16 queues that can support GRAPHIC/COMPUTE/TRANSFER, 1 queue that can support TRANSFER
R9 200 series: 1 queue that can support GRAPHIC/COMPUTE/TRANSFER, 7 queue that can support COMPUTE/TRANSFER, 2 queue that can support TRANSFER

then how do you explain the small gains on Vulkan api in DOOM with Maxwell 2 (900 series)?

thats the reason i have used to please myself because miss their promo actually
need to ask someone at penang to verify them

Few reasons:-
1) NVIDIA Vulkan driver has not exposed compute-only queues. Probably won't make much of a difference.
2) Not just Maxwell 2 showing small gains. Pascal too showing small gains. But a gain is a gain. As you can see in the graph you posted, GTX980Ti showing higher gains than GTX1070. This video shows it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCHmV3c7H1Q
3) NVIDIA GPUs already has almost peak utilization averagely.
4) Some scene showing large gains too on NV hardware. Large gains also in some CPU limited scene.
5) This game has AMD shader intrinsic function (specific to AMD). It is not supported by NVIDIA shader extension in current Vulkan driver.
6) AMD FuryX has 23% more compute performance than GTX1070. At peak, it will perform 23% faster. So, it is performing as it should.
7) As mentioned before, AMD OpenGL driver has high overhead issue. Once this issue is not there, it will perform as it should. If NVIDIA cripple their OpenGL driver, you'd see significant gains too going to Vulkan (do people prefer this?). There's obviously something wrong if GTX970 can perform similar to FuryX in OpenGL mode...If Fury X can outperform GTX1080 in Vulkan, then that means NVIDIA is not performing as good as AMD in Vulkan. But it is not the case here, GTX1080 is still leading.
