Looks to be faster than the Titan XP since it's clocked higher. I thought Titan was like 20-25% faster that the 1080, and supposedly 1080ti is 35% better (when looking at the benchmarks in Linus Tech Tips video it seemed closer to 40%). Either way, looks like a really nice card, and I'm happy that Nvidia brought the GTX 1080 price within reason (500 for 1080, 380 for 1070, and 250 for 1060). If you normalize the GTX1060 6GB at a value of 1 for performance/dollar, then the GTX1070 is around 0.87 and the GTX1080 is now around 0.82. But hey, if you want to play at high fps on 1440p or 4K, you'll be needing those cards. | ||

I thought Titan was like 20-25% faster that the 1080 1080 is 2560:160:64 w/ 320GB/s of bandwidth 1080ti is 3584:224:88 with 484GB/s of bandwidth 1.4x, 1.4x, 1.375x, 1.5125x (less OC headroom on that last one?) so 1.4x overall clock for clock should be roughly correct. Titan-x is marginally faster (or similar, more ROP's but worse memory?) than 1080ti clock for clock but stuck on reference card. | ||

The games benchmarks are not super interesting because they are mostly GPU bound, but it seems to confirm that Ryzen is of very good value if you were in the need of an 'affordable' HEDT CPU. It'll probably shake things up in that segment. + Show Spoiler + https://twitter.com/pcuhm/status/836892990157246469 There is another leak but again not very interesting (https://videocardz.com/66684/amd-ryzen-7-1700x-review-leaks-out) in games because it seems GPU bound yet again. Last but not least, + Show Spoiler + https://twitter.com/CPCHardware/status/836967901399744513 1080Ti and the subsequent price drops seem nice! I'm not yet in the need for such a card tho so there'll probably be one or two new gen/architectures of cards before I look into it with the intent of buying it. | ||

If that's how the 2133 performs (the bandwidth numbers seem to match 2133) then i hope there are plenty of benches w/ faster RAM. Especially with 8c16t to feed, dual channel 2133c15 sounds like it could starve the CPU a lot. Large swings in memory latency and/or bandwidth can affect performance in some games or programs while not affecting others | ||

Edit: I've just checked base clock for my GTX 980. MSI is still not on top of list. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=185&sort=d5&page=1 | ||

IIRC the msi 970 gaming could do 220w and 1.25v while some other well branded cards (like the Strix) were capped at 180-200w and/or 1.2 - 1.225v. In practice the gains from this were pretty small but notable to some benchmark guys, maybe 2% more FPS at max OC's. | ||

Got myself a new motherboard and a 7th gen intel cpu, but apparently a B150M Pro4 only supports 7th gen after a BIOS update. But I don't know how to update the BIOS without having a CPU in there... Any ideas? Or I should just run to the closest computer shop that might have CPUs lying around? | ||

Quick Google check seems to show that your motherboard needs to support Q-Flash Plus. If you don't have that, then you might have to use some temporary CPU. I can't confirm or deny if that's true. | ||

Yeah, probably the easiest case is to pop by a/the shop and have them do it. Or find a friend who might have a skylake in their pc. I had the same situation when i ordered my Broadwell for a Z97 board, I had the place i ordered from (datagate) flash the bios on the mobo, twas like 20€ extra. | ||

Either one of these Acer Aspires or the Dell 7567 http://imgur.com/gallery/RdCA7 http://imgur.com/gallery/UM1JN I'm thinking of maybe getting the Predator for myself in May. What you think? Thanks everybody! | ||

I have also been considering a ssd, so maybe this is the time do that as well. What is your current build?

What country will you be buying your parts in? United States If you have any brand or retailer preferences, please specify. Amazon or Newegg What games do you intend to play on this computer? What settings? Mostly Dota2 and Overwatch. Possibly some graphics heavy single player like Dark Souls. What do you intend to use the computer for besides gaming?

For graphics cards, an RX480 4GB model should fall within that budget. The 8 GB model sometimes comes close to $200 so if you don't have a strict budget and you're willing to go above that, you could go with that or a GTX 1060 6GB model (I would not recommend the 3GB model though, at that point you may as well go with RX480 4GB). For example, a quick Amazon search turned this up: https://www.amazon.com/XFX-RADEON-Graphics-Backplate-RX480M8BFA6/dp/B01H3P9CKI/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1490391086&sr=1-3&keywords=rx480 Under $200 after rebates... If you want to save some money (so you can fit an SSD in the budget!) you could try an RX470. It doesn't max everything out, but you could run most games in high-ish settings and still have an awesome experience | ||

What is your budget? about $1000. This is not a hard limit. What is your monitor's native resolution? 2160p (I'll be using my TV as the monitor). What games do you intend to play on this computer? What settings? Any new AAA games. It doesn't need to be at high settings or 60 fps. What do you intend to use the computer for besides gaming? Watching movies, general web browsing. Do you intend to overclock? Yes, if it is in the budget and will help performance. Do you intend to do SLI / Crossfire? No. Do you need an operating system? Yes. Do you need a monitor or any other peripherals and is this part of your budget? I need a wireless keyboard+mouse, which should be part of the budget. If you have any requirements or brand preferences, please specify. I'd like to place this computer in the entertainment stand under my TV, so it can't be very tall (I have about 12 inches of vertical space). I would prefer only an SSD for storage (it doesn't need to be very large, either 256 or 512GB should be fine). If going with the smaller SSD will allow for a better graphics card, then I'll go with the smaller one. What country will you be buying your parts in? USA If you have any retailer preferences, please specify. None. | ||

What is your current build? AMD Phenom II x6 1055T overclocked to 3.5GHz + cooler (CPU-Z says it is a 1050T but I don't think those exist?) Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard Radeon HD 6850 20GB DDR3 ram + 1TB hard drive my moniter is running in 1360x768 currently - ASUS VK222H Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - Maximum Resolution 1680 x 1050 Running Windows 7 x64 I have an old mid size Antec 300 case, the current GPU fits with not much room to spare. I would estimate there is 8.5in x 6in of space maximum without serious changes. My PSU (SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze EVO Edition 520W) is connected to my GPU with a 6 pin (2x3) cable and there are only some 5 pin (5x1) connections unused on the PSU. Is this another issue I will run into looking to upgrade? Are there any more complications I need to look into like the connections between the board and the graphics card? Thanks for any help. | ||
