Will this be remembered as 2600k of GPUs?

>its market share was miniscule
ehm no? With it's rereleased 280X version it was quite popular. Also aged pretty well due to being GCN paired with 3GB memory and a massive 384bit interface. So while it's direct competitors from around that time suffered badly you can play many titles still fine on a 7970 (with reduced fidelity ofc.) power consumption might be an issue though

With more and more games demanding lots of VRAM and Nvidia obviously shutting down driver optimizations for Maxwell the card is on the verge of being killed by it's 3,5GB VRAM

the only games I see using more than 3GB of VRAM are shitty titles like assassin's creed and tomb raider

I didn't even have market share in mind. I thought only on longevity.

1070

>tfw still using a GTX 970

This

Gonna have to second this.

thanks to the less than spectacular 2000 series, probably yes. the longest lasting cards before that are probably 7970(Ghz)/280x and hawaii.

GTX 1070 because most of the people are going to play 1080p @ 60 FPS. And 1070 is going to do it for many years still.

750ti was trash
t. has one

And Aint it enough for 1080p?

Anyone here still using a 1080 Ti in 2018? I feel kind of dirty about it.

both are quite good also honorary mention for the 4770k as 2nd best cpu

you could probably do it with the 2200g as well

"""""Modern games""""" meaning indie trash and F2P garbage like Fortnite, as is always the case when someone makes a claim like this. A 750 Ti hovers around 20fps at 1080p using the medium preset in something actually demanding like Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.

i was going to buy one as they cost about £580 here and a 2080 is £750

780ti was kinda crap because of shitty Nvidia support of Kepler in general.
Back in the day instead 6870 I bought 6930 for the same price because that was a thing in some countries.

>Lmao you deluded amd drone, its market share was miniscule
who gives a shit about market share you pathetic consumer drone. what matters is price performance which the 7970 is unmatched until today

It's enough as long as you don't go overboard with the graphic settings and don't activate every meme filter

Was 6930 a thing? Thought there were only 6950 (had one) and 6970 in the high end bracket of the 6xxx series?

I recalled a time when half of the people here had 2500K/GTX 560Ti.

I have a 1080 and I'm like that. You hit diminishing returns pretty quickly with that stuff so I always try to find the sweet spot between graphics and performance

I have a 1080 and gaym at 1080p 144hz and there's still nogames that forces me to not play at max.

Some of the newer AAA games are pretty heavy if you crank the settings

Yup, a cut down 6950. Was only available in China and slavlands I think. I had this one.

Love the color man

It will be remembered when nvidia beat AMD so hard they gave up and started rehashing and fucking with their customers forever so jacketman could sell his shit for any price and anyone would have to just accept it.
Now explain this part to rabid AMDrones.

>Polaris with 10-5% worse performance
shit

And that's nothing compared to the amazing fanless 710.

I unironically agree with this... Id add ati9700 and AMD xp2400+ if you want to go back one more generation.

I replaced my 780 just now and only did it because I bought an Acer X34.

On 2560x1440 the 780 was still good enough to just play everything with really nice settings and I bought it over 5 years ago.

Similarly good of my GPUs was only the 8800GTX.

The 780 is just massively underrated. It's still a beastly card and I would recommend it to everyone on a budget even now. I sold mine for just over 100€

why 2600k though, when the 2500k was essentially much cheaper and lasted just as long.

Modded xeon X54x0

If AMD stagnates from now on, yes. Lets hope it doesn't become the 2600K of GPU.

Also not sure why you guys are still deluding yourself into thinking Sandybridge era was the a good thing. I mean you'd be correct if AMD didn't release Ryzen. Now we know the only reason we had 1% IPC gain every 2 years was due to stagnation. Sandybridge era should be remembered as a dark era for CPU. 10 years of 1% ipc gains. LMAO. The excuse of "Intel is trying their best" has run short of the recent improvements.

No love for the 3570k?

Dude they are all fucking the same
Sandy, Ivy, Haswell, Skylake, Kabylake.
Nobody gives a shit what was best at a certain point in time, and those threads are made by retarded manchildren faggots, and even worse are the replies mentioning other shit they own(ed) nobody gives a shit about

Nah, 1080Ti is going to age poorly once DX12-level features start becoming commonplace.

It will be the next 780Ti which had aged poorly once developers start going nuts on textures and Nvidia hardware that didn't have texture/color compression (Maxwell and newer) started to choke.

I got a class-action check because I bought a gtx 970.

None of them are the same thing idiot.

They are evolutionary changes. Haswell introduced AVX2 and Skylake gave DDR4 support to the masses.

/thread
8600gt and 750Ti are the Q6600 and 2500k of GPUs

Considering the pace of the GPU market it could keep up nicely for quite some time (for many of the popular moba etc. titles even today). Similiar to the GTX 8800.

anyone here have an opteron 165?

that was the ticket

Ironically 2080Ti will end-up being the next 8800GTX.

It is so far ahead of the curve and it absolutes eats 1080Ti and RX Vega 64 at DX12-related stuff.

The ray-tracing on it is meme-tier so was DX10-level features on 8800GTX back in its heyday.

By the time DX10 started to become commonplace. GTX 280 and HD 4870 were the new hotness.

nah i'm going to say both vega 56 and GTX1070 Ironically are for most gamers.

most people can only dream of GTX1080ti as the prices are insane outside of the US or Europe

>no x5650

No. The 2600k was a CPU for the every-man. The 1080ti was a totl card that you had to pay out the ass for.

Attached: we told them the wealth would trickle down.jpg (611x404, 39K)

This user gets it. The 2600/k wasn't just fast, it was cheap/good value.

Why is the 2600k shilled so much?

It was slower compared to the i7 920

Was it shilled because nobody upgraded to the first i7s since everyone was still on Core2Duos and Core2Quads?

this
1050 ti nowdays is 50% more expensive

Good thing playing with settings is more fun, than playing games.

>t. coping nvidiot waiting on his RMA'd 2080ti

>nobody upgraded to the first i7s
Everyone was shilling the 920 here back in 2009, people were even talking about which stepping was best and being made in Costa Rica and shit. When's the last time you've seen that level of autism about a CPU model since?

>8700k + 1080ti

Basically a legendary setup for modern games.
