Yesssssss I’m jealous. I’m still running a GTX 760 with an i5-2500k (which was an upgrade, because I ran it with a GTX 260 originally).

Welcome to #PCMasterRace.

It’s great, I promise. Even though I bought a 970 about 2 months ago, then had to watch as they announced the 1070 which was so much better for the same price.

Meanwhile, I am playing Kingdom Hearts on my PS2.

I’m coming from a Phenom X6 and a 560Ti. That computer also only had 8GB ram, this has 32.

Granted that old computer ran everything I threw at it for the most part, so I can’t complain too much. I’m going to run a 3DMark benchmark in a minute, should be interesting

I’ve had a PC for a long time, it’s just dated (Phenom X6 1090T, 560Ti). This is going to be a VR box primarily

Shiiiit man. I’ve got 12 gigs and I feel like I need more. Is that DDR4?

I’m waiting for the 1080 Hybrid to launch sometime next month before I upgrade. My 780 has gotten surprisingly long in the tooth with the new monitor I have. It used to be overkill at 1920x1080, but no more.

16 is a good spot nowadays. You only need more if you’re doing rendering or something.

That has to be the best priced card to performance I’ve seen in a while. That card is a beast. I couldn’t believe that they priced it the way they did. Best of luck.

I’m so torn between the 1070 and 480. I don’t want to spend that much on 1070 (especially since I’d probably stick an aftermarket cooler on it), but the fact that has pretty much the same power budget as the 480 makes it tempting as a fan of silent computing.

Either way, my 7870 is really creaking with newer games (especially since I have 2600x1600 screen). The winner might just be whoever actually has a card in stock when I happen to be looking (nearly bought a 480 yesterday, but they were OOS by the time I was seriously thinking about pulling the trigger).

What case is that?

Yeah, I’ve had 16 since 2011, but gaming doesn’t really push that, since all the memory pressure their is on the graphics card. I’ll probably get 32 whenever I build a new system, but it’s definitely still overkill out side of a few specialised areas.

Which MB did you use? Why is their such a shortage of good mATX MBs and cases?

I was just lusting over the 1080 online...so many cuda cores!

Nowadays, it’s so cheap that you may as well. I’ll probably grab 2 more 8gb sticks at some point, assuming I can get them to work with my cooler properly (the waterblock pushes on the stick in the 1st slot)

You’ve already seen my daily driver machine before white next s340 6700k 32gbs @3200mhz dual m2 nvme 950 pro SSDs and dual 840 eco 250gb SSDs liquid cooled with a 980 To classified with 3 x 2k Acer monitors

Dat 212 eco cooler tho, 1070 ref model still beats my 980ti classified (makes me has sad, even though my OC is stable at 1600mhz with evga precision)

Nvidia master race does not include users with anything less than current gen Titan or TI! Which haven’t been released.

I had the 212 on my old machine, it served me well. If temp is an issue I'll switch to liquid

Yeah, this thing is pretty monstrous for $1500. Plus it's cheap enough that SLI down the road is doable

I was pretty close to going 1080, but decided 1070 would be fine for now. At the price an SLI 1070 setup isn't that much more than a 1080 either...
