Watching the lackluster Battleborn previews made me want to replay Borderlands.
Thats surprising. I thought Borderlands 2 was a big hit in its day. Expected more.

Its the current players, that are playing that game.
Isn't the peak table the absolute peak? Or is it daily peak (for today)?

How many gamecubes is that?
Other than Stellaris (which isn't a good buy day one due to Paradox's insistence to milk buyers with DLCs) and I am Setsuna, there's really nothing interesting there...
Do note that the $379 price (already $50 over 970) is only the suggested retail one. I'm guessing most vendors will price it just slightly below NVIDIA's one - so... $420?

Just shy of 700.
Just daily.
And then convert that to whatever the uro price we get... Benches will decide everything for me though, as long as it's good value.

It will be more expensive if they wont produce enough.
Look at Skylake CPUs... They should be cheap af now, but because of shipping problems, they are still expensive.

Hmmm, 1080 or wait for 1080ti?

I'll wait for the nvidia 4k

listen to the mad man
This question may seem stupid, but do games that claim they "require" a virtual reality headset actually require a virtual reality headset?

A lot of them start in SteamVR mode or Oculus mode. You can edit some inis though to play them on a normal screen, though I dont think it works that well, since for some games moving your head is the standard "control mode" for the camera.

Meh, just Doom methinks out of that list

And here's a more accurate graph for the Borderlands/Battleborn thing:
http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&appid=49520q394230
They caught a brief moment where BL2 was above Battleborn...but let's face it, those numbers are still pretty abysmal.
Assuming you have 4GB VRAM (or less), a 1070 as a stop-gap may not be a bad idea depending on where benchmarks place it. It's largely assumed that Nvidia won't be able to mass-produce HBM2 products until next year and the first "Big Pascal" release is of course going to be the Titan, which puts the 1080 Ti still around a year away.

I can keep my 980ti till 1080ti comes out, right?

No, it's obviously obsolete. You can throw it in the garbage bin. No game will be even playable at 720p, lowest settings anymore even though up until last night it maxed out everything.
Come on Chuck.

Guys I have no idea how all of this works but somehow managed to build a PC with 4 Titans so please tell me right now before anyone sees any benchmarks and weeks before the actual release how much faster 4 1080s will be and if I should upgrade. Thanks!
Not aimed at anyone in here, there are just some very strange posts over in Gaming.
Chairmanchuck

I actually didnt read much about the 1080, so I wonder if I should sell the 980ti and buy the 1080 or wait for the 1080ti.
Actual data on how the two compare is still forthcoming. Wait for proper benchmarks and then decide yourself whether or not the performance difference is worth the premium (unless you're using a 1440p monitor or greater, I doubt the 6GB VRAM is going to be a problem).

"Hey can my 980Ti Sli PC with OC'd i7 run this game?"
Were any games giving your 980Ti problems?

I am actually using a 55" UHDTV, but still play most games besides japanese games in 1080p.

No. Actually not. I am just wondering for VR games.

Nvidia had some slides about highly improved VR performance but what that means in reality? Uh.

I'm sitting here with a 750Ti and glad to have it...
been fucking around with my steam controller, yeah the concept of the steam controller is nice, the thing works well on desktop as a mouse, heck it's better than my shitty mouse
but holy shit the customization I have to go through for each game and learning the new controls since my shitty muscle memory is already accustomed to the dual sticks controller I've been using for the last decade.
trying out other people's config means I need to relearn the controls inorder to find out if it works or not, everytime. I could make my own and customize every button to my liking, sounds nice but modern games doesn't give a shit and give a bunch of button prompts that don't make sense at all because every button is remapped to a different button.
but the controller is nice
this is fine

worst case I sell it like $250 or something low idc.

Eh, one round of Overwatch and I'm not impressed. The map so uninteresting in terms of design (the Japanese garden one), the characters don't seem to have much depth, and the shooting doesn't feel like anything. I got play of the game as the sniper chick.. for getting a double kill. Deleted.

760 and 750 can literally run everything that matters, what these can't run isn't worth running.
this post was brought to you by truths of life you have to discover yourself.
I'm still using 670 and there is no problem with it. Haven't played any high end AAA games lately so what's the point having the best GPUs in the market?
I was furtherr proving your point
that was kinda my point, unless you are heavily into AAA games only and only
Chairmanchuck

It depends. If you wanna experience VR, you need a high-end GPU. I mean even the 970 seems to struggle with some games in VR right now.

Are we forgetting Mirrors Edge 2?
Come on bruh. That game is gonna need a strong GPU probably.

Honestly, I don't know why I want to upgrade
Literally everything fancy looks fine to me on my ps4. And half the time I use my PC it's for a VN or some other non intensive game that's simply pc exclusive.
