By Dark PhaZe Go To Postso it retails for what? 475?i'll buy someone's titan/x for $350.
Spent the better part of the day looking at ITX mobo, case, and setup videos. Getting that itch bad.
Probably go Z170 + Kaby Lake later this year. There's only one ITX X99 M obo from what I can tell, and they took quite or paired back a bit of features that make X99 different from Z170.
Hyped for Computex

Kaby Lake still gonna be quad core. Also when they are released the 200 "Union Point" series chipsets will also be released. Supposedly they will be ready for XPoint and Optane but PCI Express 4.0 is unknown.
By reilo Go To PostAlright Smokey hit me with a $1,000 build.Until he responds, this is worth perusing through: http://techreport.com/review/29977/the-tech-report-system-guide-april-2016-edition

yeah i know. but there's no other itx x99 options outside of the asrock ive read about, that's apparently not all that great.

may change with computex coming up tho
By reilo Go To PostAlright Smokey hit me with a $1,000 build.
does that include a monitor
No, I'll be gaming on my 60" HDTV.
I might buy an Xbox Elite controller though, but that shouldn't be part of the budget.
With Amazon Prime Now I can get it all delivered by tonight for free lol

At some point I will replace my 3770K, but I don't think it will be for this generation. I really haven't felt the pressure to upgrade my hardware in quite some time.
By reilo Go To PostIs there any discernible benefit going with an 1151 core instead of 1150?Like actual "This game feels smoother" type stuff? Not much.
But why go with an 1150? Intel doesn't discount older models and thats not old enough to save a lot on a used one.
Preorders for 1080's are out in AU.
Prices are ~$1,200.
I fucking hate the price gauging done by tech companies in this country. Fucking criminal.

MSI has a liquid cooled GTX 1080:
The MSI GeForce® GTX 1080 SEA HAWK is the result of a revolutionary partnership which combines MSI’s top-notch graphics card engineering with the popular Corsair Hydro Series liquid cooler. This ensures that the SEA HAWK stays at least as cool as it looks while providing extreme gaming performance thanks to vastly increased clock speeds out of the box.https://www.msi.com/news/detail/30kEygXqkQtap-EmtYaQuqXikg2IJjjdRg_sTXI9bHzSM-3Ig2sS2OJZQaP9NWtrtwc0uukmTRTsy-T_BZzA-w~~
Buddy of mine preordered a 1080 card for 730 €.
Gets an email last night saying he's got to pay 100 € extra or they're canceling his preorder.
Fucking corrupt websites mang.

Looking to upgrade my 970 since it struggles at 1440p. The local price of the 1080 is eye watering though
so the 1070 really is faster than titan x

1080p Conclusion
With the exception of the BioShock Infinite benchmark, which was razor thin, the GTX 1070 was able to consistently beat the Titan X at 1080p. Regardless, both the Titan X and GTX 1070 are overkill at 1080p, unless you’re looking to take advantage of a super high refresh rate monitor
1440p Conclusion
While the GTX 1070 is overkill for 1080p gaming, it makes good sense at 1440p. You’ll be able to max out just about every single game here, even the most taxing games like Metro with above 30 average FPS. You’ll also get plenty of mileage if you opt for a high refresh rate UHD monitor.
Conclusion
If you were tallying the wins between the GTX 1070 and the Titan X in my suite of benchmarks, then you’ll know that the 1070 beat the Titan X in all of the benchmarks with the exception of one test, where it was just one percent behind. Not only is this within the statistical margin of error, but it was a test done at 1080p with both cards averaging over 140 FPS. Like the Titan X and GTX 1080 before it, the GTX 1070 is overkill for 1080p gaming, unless you’re running a really high refresh rate monitor
When you compare it to the Titan X, it’s up to nine percent faster and up to 55 percent cheaper. That’s a crazy good deal. Sure, the GTX 1070 makes some concessions against the GTX 1080, but, for the most part, it performs admirably where it counts.
Other quotes from other places:
the GTX 1070 beats or exceeds the performance of the Titan X in every game, at every resolution we tested. Yeah, really.
If you were wondering about Nvidia's claims of beating a Titan X in performance with a $380-$450 GTX 1070, well, we can safely put any concerns of cherry picked benchmarks to rest. It's the real deal.
Phaze we are ded
How long does it usually take before Nvidia releases their TI version of cards? Debating whether to hold out for that or not.
I've already accepted my titan x is gonna get sold for the price of some Jordans
I've got like a year to hit on a parlay so I can get the god tier 1080 ti variant coming in the future that will rock most modern games at 4k 70 fps
Believe

lol better to buy a new 1070 than somesone's Titan.
how much ram will the 1070 have, anyone know?
edit: forgot about the 1070 only have 256bit and less cudas.
might still have to stick to a 980 or titan for now.

i mean for them to be releasing cards with this much value means they got some shit thats going to blow the doors off hidden in the shadows for sure
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti mean for them to be releasing cards with this much value means they got some shit thats going to blow the doors off hidden in the shadows for sure
Agree
I feel like Pascal Titan is going to have people literally falling out at the performance numbers
Broadwell-E just released, and already got news about Skylake-E
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/52336/intels-next-gen-skylake-processor-arrive-lga-3647-socket/index.html
Might wait for that tbh. On the HEDT platform Intel usually releases 2 CPUs for the socket: X79 Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy-E, X99 Haswell-E and Broadwell-E.
Don't know if I want to jump in again on a socket that is going to be phased out sometime next year. I did that with my current setup - X79/4930K.

By reilo Go To PostIs LGA-1151 being phased out then?
No. Kaby Lake will use it later this year.
Cannonlake will probably use a new socket next year.
By Smokey Go To PostNo. Kaby Lake will use it later this year.Even then..... that's pure assumption.
Cannonlake will probably use a new socket next year.
I'm not so sure I'd bother waiting, reilo. Outside of a 1070 the rest of this stuff is going to be expensive as FUCK.
those enthusiast broadwell-E CPU's .... the top one is going to set you back $1700. USD.
Had a evga ftw 1080 preordered @ Amazon, but cancelled 5 mins later
I'm close to fucking breaking here
I'm close to fucking breaking here
thats at 700 right?
i really dont see the point, ti variants will be here and blow the doors off these
resale value has already floored for the titan x too so whatever it sells at today is likely to sell at for the forseeable future even when the ti hits

Steam Controller and Steam Link are both 30% off this weekend on the Steam Store. I bought the controller which came to $43 after shipping for me.
I still need to get a modern TV before I even think about getting the Link, though.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postblack friday is going to be absolutely lit for TV pricesWell, I've had my current TV for 13 years. What's another few months?
want to be patient until then but its a ways off
e: I mainly use it to watch sports since it is 720p capable, but I would actually play controller-based games on it from time to time if it was decent. Gonna need to do research to find low input-lag tv's. *sigh*

Let me know how this is. I've eyed Steam Link for some time.
By Smokey Go To PostLet me know how this is. I've eyed Steam Link for some time.Well, you may have to wait until a month after Black Friday for a review about Steam Link. I'll be able to talk about the controller in a few weeks, though.
e: I suppose one interesting way to use the Link is like a more capable, but awkward chromecast. Since you can add and launch just about any app through Steam, you can get whatever you want to display on your TV. There may exist other solutions which make that easier/better, though.
1080 SLI review
http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/geforce-gtx-1080-2-way-sli-review,1.html
those 4k numbers...and this on a driver that doesn't officially support SLI at the moment on pascal
i am THIRSTY
Basically you need to be running at 1440p, and preferably 4k before the CPU is able to catch up with the 1080 :o. And they were even using a 5960x, which is 8 core. Cards too fast for 1080 in SLI.

For the titles in this preliminary article that did work, scaling is pretty okay; but you need to be at least at 2560x1440 and preferably at Ultra HD as only there scaling makes sense. It's that old devil, CPU limitation again. Something that would have been nice to test with DX12 titles, if only they had worked. Ah well, .. we'll check it out later once a proper driver is available.
Really 1080 SLI only will make sens STARTING at 2560x1440, but preferably ultra HD as that's where the benefits start to show.

Looks like Kaby Lake and Zen (AMD next gen CPU architecture) won't be hitting until Q1 2017. Could be March for all we know.
Looks like I'll be rockin the 4930k for a bit longer. Unless I can come across Broadwell-E chips that I want (8 core of 10 core) at a marked down price.

Is a 3 year old Samsung SSD good enough to play Hitman with good load times? No idea how well storage ages.

By Hitch Go To PostThinking of upgrading GPU soon, haven't done anything with my PC for nearly 3 years nowIf you have a SSD and aren't looking to upgrade your motherboard your 3year old one will be fine. there have been tiny improvements in SATA SSD's, but nothing major.

The big leap forward in Storage is M.2 PCIE SSD's. Which will mean springing for a new motherboard.
If you're looking at a new GPU i'd tell you to read how long it is until the GTX 1070's are around. They should be cheaper than the whole 980 range, and faster than all of them.
