GPU noob here.
660 ftw to a 1070 a big upgrade?
Big upgrade might be an understatement.

Only a Asus 1440p/165hz monitor - but if you like your games to look pretty, that's a lot of pixels to push. For most recent games I hover around 30-50fps - Gsync helps a lot to smooth things out, but it's still no substitute for >60fps.
Bummer for me. Been waiting to build a gaming PC until the "new" 980ti equivalent.... Seems I'll be waiting a while :/ I wonder when that will drop.
I bought a 1440p monitor, one of those Qnix Apple rejects, a while back, without really thinking things through. I don't have the card to run at 1440 right now which is why I'm looking to upgrade so that's a little disappointing to hear.
As an uninformed console gamer looking to build a PC.
Are these the Pascal cards everyone is recommending to wait for in basically every PC building thread?

All the hype was/is for the new ti/titan cards using the next gen memory technology.Gaf kept hyping about how the new Pascal cards would be substantially more powerful than the current cards though it seems like this isn't the case.But still, I'll probably buy the 1070 or wait for AMD's new cards.
Five years after 28nm, we finally move to 16NMFF, and Nvidia gives us a card "roughly faster" than a 980ti? I'll hold my judgment for after these cards are benchmarked, but performance-wise, it seems to be underwhelming. The card should have a TDP of around 125watt (probably a bit more) and I understand this is new tech, but still, ugh.
I need to upgrade since I'm still on an aging 680.
I really regret not getting a 970 at launch, especially considering it's gone up in price with the poor Canadian dollar.
Is a 1080 going to be bandwidth starved with GDDR5X?
If not why are people just waiting on a different memory standard that might not make a lick of difference and possibly be more expensive especially at first?
We don't really know yet, the "source" is basically just a compilation of all rumors we've had through the past months and weeks lol. In technical terms, yes, it's the first GPU shrink since... 2012? So 'cutting edge' in that regard. In performance terms, we have yet to see eh at Nvidia decides to release in the first batch.Traditionally I've been a Console gamer but now we have seen PC grow exponentially over the past few years. Looking into building my own rig soon, are these new cards a big step forward ?

If the 1080 can carry games in 4k/60 fps , i buy one at launch , if not , without me.
Total War WarhammerFrom another perspective, are there any games being released around the same time as these new cards that will be worth upgrading for even if the performance of them isn't what we are hoping for?
Watch these cards come rout and the 980Ti stay at the same price.![]()
I know i'm beating a dead horse here, but I just came across an article pertaining to Broadwell-E since I'm planning my build.

You guys remember that time that WCCF said that Intel was going to release their Broadwell-E CPUs at Computex this year and it didn't happen?
I am not a fan of this website at all. Unreliable sources, reporting rumors as facts, and sometimes not having sources at all.
Just one of many examples.
So this will play games at 1080p?

Im honestly tired of this release scheme. First wave of cards, tiny increase in performance; months later, bigger jump. Mostly to make some people double dip.
I hope AMD will run in full speed and make things interesting, ruining the tired Nvidia release schedule.
