Okay so right now I have a Dell S2716DG Gsync TN panel sitting edge-to-edge with a Dell U2717D IPS panel (their newest baseline no frills IPS panel.)

Other than the viewing angle being shit on the TN panel, and the response time being absolute garbage on the IPS panel, I can't tell a difference in color once calibrated, and this IPS glow is really fucking with my black levels.

Movies do look ever so slightly better on the IPS panel. But for games this Dell is a fucking steal if you can get it for sub 500 dollars.

1060's were up (MSI one) for a little bit today.6gb seems to be between 250-300. Honestly? If 1060 ends up being 260-270 across the board, AMD is going to have a rough time. From the benchmarks coming in, the 1060 is about even (Slightly better) onDX12, and performs better on DX11.

Maybe if retail cards end up being 300 for the 1060 there will be a market there for AMD, but if they remain at 260 once stocks remain in? It looks like Nividia is the clear winner..20-30$ more for roughly the same performance in the future and Nividia's better software, and a more tuned product for current gen/older games. You do lose 2gb of video ram, that might come into play as DX12 becomes more prominent, but I'm not sure if that's a huge deal.

What do you guys think?

If it does come into play, it wouldn't be for another few years. I imagine anyone buying them would be using 1080 still, so should be maxing out everything for the foreseeable future.

I feel like, similar to CPU's, we're at a point where there's little return on investment in going "bigger." The only difference in this case is if you upgrade to a better monitor.

unfortunately dx12 blows across the board still. For example on Hitman, which allows you to toggle between DX11 and DX12, I keep trying DX12 but it has all kinds of issues with full screen mode. No way to do exclusive full screen (fine) but the fsm it implements makes the game window disappear when you alt-tab, whereas the DX11 version just stays behind as a background window so you can still see whats going on, and even runs while you are tabbed away (DX12 auto pauses). It stutters when I alt tab away and back in, no stutter at all with DX11. Same problem with Forza 6 Apex and Quantum Break, except as the latter as UWP games you are forced to do DX12, no choice.

As an ID software guy said, there is literally no reason to ever use DX12 over Vulkan/DX11 since WIn7 is incompatible with DX12 and still is 50% of the gaming market, you have to make a DX11 version no matter what. The DX12 implementations for xbone and PC are very different and require different code paths so you save no cross-platform time with it.

Their SLI stance too makes it difficult, DX12 removes driver SLI optimizations so games have to SLI optimize themselves, and engines never do that. While theoretically the idea that DX12 can just use multiple cards natively without requiring SLI is great, in reality it means games have to specially code for multiple GPUs. No one is going to do that.

all the new nvidia cards seem to be in stock at nvidia.com for US shipping, can even get it for next day delivery for only $26 or so. I'm going to wait a few months before I upgrade though, I figure by the time fall rolls around probably will have a game bundle or price discounts by then

Whats worse is $1200 and no HBM2. I think AMD ceo confirmed HBM2 for their vega(1080 equivalent) cards today.

if you bought a 970 there is a class action lawsuit being settled, everyone is supposed to get $30 but no details yet. more interestingly, people have been contacting amazon (if you bought through them) and either getting 20% back OR getting the option of a full return/refund, no matter the buy date
If you bought a GTX 970 from Amazon you are eligible for a 20% refund! : pcmasterrace

return the 970, pay $100 diff (or whatever) and get yourself a new 1070? not bad

I bit the bullet and bought a 1070 last week.

There's always something newer in the future AND unless you are using a 144Hz or 4K display, the 1070 should cover you at 1080p for years.

How long should it cover you if you ARE using 144hz? And maybe 1440p? I'm debating snagging one to upgrade my 970 to go with my monitor. But thinking of holding out for the 1080 to start being in stock again too.
