yep but for me it depends on the launch time of vega. pascal non - ref cards would come with better power management and better cooling , so that is no issue at all. for vega i hope amd launches it by winter this year , waiting for a spring launch is quite far for me, but i will wait and see what amd is up to before i pull the trigger for an upgrade.

My interest is in new features though. Not playing at 4K means I really don't need a monster of a card. Heck, I'm building another PC for video editing and threw in a HD5870 Eyefinity Edition as it supports multiple screen support and it manages to lock 60FPS 1080p medium settings.

I've seen Pascal's features i.e Vulkan support(really looking forward to its widespread adoption), Multi-projection etc and it's exciting.

I'm less keen as I did on how many FPS one can get these days.

from a feature point of view nvidia pascal is bubbling with tons of features..apart from the crazy fast perf. you have ansel which too me is one of the best tech available . it just simply great. then for professional use cuda is still widely used in many professional rendering applications.plus nvidia's amazing streaming tech thanks to the inbuilt hardware decoder ..i believe amd vega would easily match it but the main issue is the timing.amd shouldn't delay too much, if not the gtx 970 debacle would repeat itself .that card was the sweet spot for price/perf , amd 390 came 1 year late and it enabled nvidia sweep tons of revenue and marketshare..

Completely agree with that. AMD shouldn't leave releasing Vega too late although I suspect if a 1080Ti is being released, knowing Nvidia, they'll release it around that time too, potentially holding the crown of fastest single GPU.

AMD just took PC gaming to a new level, making high end gpus available to all, the RX480 (4GB GDDR5 256bit)is the answer for just $199. Nvidia must be in shock at the moment.

nvidia have always bin the apple of graphic cards... They won't even flinch.

True. But Nvidia's always too expensive. Have u seen how much the new 1070s and 1080s will go for?? The least i saw was like $500. Abi u want to tell me u wont at least consider AMD if u can get a 1070 equivalent amd gpu for $199??

the price for dia new cards didn't sound high to me.. Just places it on the right path... Remember when gtx980 came out? Had 4GB max... The 1080 is 8GB lasan... And d 980 is still around 400-500..i believe if the new cards sell... The old cards should drop price... Say d 980 falls under 300...it will be a good deal o.

benchmark is out for the rx480, checkout the link. nvidia is so dead believe me and remember AMD has upper hand with the direct x12.

This is the best news I've heard today. 2x RX480 performed better than a GTX1080 (according to Raja) that is less than $400 will outperform a card worth $600...even gets better. The 1080 is meant to be faster than the 1070 which means for $20 more you can outperform the 1070 using 2x RX480....AMD have got Nvidia by the b4lls

I know, price/perf increases going dual GPU but c'mon it'll still use around 300W, the power requirement for one R9 390X.


edit: The 480's used were the 8GB models which cost $460 for the pair NOT less than $400

Why buy a motherboard that supports SLI or CF if you don't intend to fill all the slots...hahahah!

I feel your impatience bro. Your own better, at least it has a release date. Namco Bandai has refused to tell us when they are releasing Tekken 7 for PS4. I need to get my hands on Akuma and Kazumi.

What's with the black guys in 2 new titles Mafia III and BF1 on the front covers...hmmm?

i can't wait to get my hands on those two titles.

But walahi this is the best deal in years... Even the 4GB version is VR ready.. For 199...if only the gods of 160 per dollar was still on our side... Na to order parts assemble.

i got lucky with the exchange rate then about 180-200 and I got my mid range gaming pc, Gtx960-4GBVram, i5-4690K and 16gig ram. with this current exchange rate, na to sort out the exchange rate anyhow.lol

guys abeg which of these console should i get Xbox One and Ps4??

That's one decent rig right there...na to jinga the right people to have these mid range options available...I'm currently building a rig with the FX8350 and AMD HD5870 (unlocked the BIOS and OC'd the b**** to the high heavens) and I play most titles on medium to high setting 1080P...that's a 2010 GPU.

Where can I get a good GPU in Nigeria I was thinking collinsvgame but I don't know if I can trust them

jorhney:

ps4 no doubt. reasons: more games, gpu strength, FHD resolution support in almost all games and durability.

nowhere my brother except you dont mind paying times 3 for a 2010 gpu. order online via mallforafrica or mikky to get a 2015 gpu with less fee.

Lol. Those two games seem to be the biggest titles of 2016 so far....

Yh. I saw that recently. I also noticed there hasn't been any new Tekken titles in a while. I just hope they well with the pc port once its out

I came across that yday...hopefully it would...I've never really been a huge fan of fireballs, teleporting etc although I enjoy a game or two of MKX but Tekken's my ideal fist to fist fighting game.
