    Icon4 The GeForce 1080ti is Trash, Do Not Buy It. Wait For AMD Vega10

    http://wccftech.com/amd-vega-10-20-s...ga-10-x2-2017/ Vega10 is coming out the second half of 2017, by the looks of it, will have a Single Card version and a Dual GPU version, no way overpriced trash Nvidia can compete with this, they never make Dual GPU cards and I am pretty sure the Single version Vega10 will perform better with benchmarks. I will by the Vega10 x2.




    It can't even do Battlefield 1 at 4k Ultra settings at 50-60fps, pathetic.

    The AMD 295x2 has 2 GPU processing units so it is like having an SLI/Crossfire set up I suppose, still, I don't like having an SLI/Crossfire set up since some games don't support it and it just seems like a Hassle having 2 cards.

    It can do 5,760 x 1,080, DirectX 11, 'Ultra' Settings Battlefield 4 at 60fps. 67fps on 4k and Battlefield 4's and 1's game engine are very similar and require around the same system requirements.

    I have a GeForce GTX 680 Classified 4GB 256-bit GDDR5'

    I got it in September 2013, gonna buy a new Card this year.

    It is also getting horrible reviews on Amazon on average.

    Looks like they are purposely showing 5/5 "verified reviews" instead of showing the majority of the people who are giving it low ratings.

    They're mostly just complaining about the prices as far as I can tell.
    My grandfather who's been around computer parts for decades has always gotten upset about AMD, so I doubt I'd buy them personally but it's nice to know they're doing something to compete.

    Dual cards sandwiched together like the 295x are a prime example of why multi gpu for gaming is a dying and being even more restricted than it was before.

    There is always the issue with frame pacing, tearing, and several other issues with multi gpu systems, however be my guest on purchasing it.

    We should always be aware of where the info comes from... WCCF tech is notorious for click baiting and vapor chamber of whatever they want to get out. They are not reliable nor to be trusted at face value. it doesnt mean that everything that they write is actually wrong and they have done so on purpose.

    Im not that hopeful on waiting for vega. While the 480 was a very competent card, I already had the same performance on the 970 that I have with less TDP to boot.

    That is not to say that I have any prejudice against AMD, Im going to either get the R5 1600X or the R7 1700. Still waiting on the mitx motherboards to purchase it.

    Anyway the 1080ti is a damn good card and IS the fastest card that we have now, and its a good 30% better than the 1080. Watercooled it can reach the OC levels of the 1060, which is just awesome, bumping the performance even further.
