New graphics cards announced

Chevyguy85 · May 8, 2016

So anyone excited about the new 1080 and 1070 announcements from the other day? So many console gamers on here probably not lol. If AMD can't step it up with their soon to be announced generation of cpus and gpus I think they'll be pretty screwed, especially if Nvidia's claims hold up with independent testing. It's going to be an interesting year for the "master race." :-p

Knew I forgot something. There are probably hundreds of articles, I know I've watched most of my tech youtube peoples talk about it or show the huge announce party thing Nvidia did. After watching the release videos I'd be shocked if the total for all that was anywhere as low as $1 million. Flew in tons of people, rented out a ranch, activities, hotel rooms, and all for what I'm guessing is more money than I'll see in my lifetime lol.

I only see smaller micron.. gain some cool.

the cards have been so fast since agp 8x, that is all to notice.

cooling makes it bigger.

256bit memory, all that hocus pocus... must be 10 years already.

I got a xeon with the original nvidia, big 3d cad worker, but no gaming.

I'd love try try the 980..

but no rush.

my first gamer was 8mb rage lt pro. Half life 1 for daaaays.

I don't even know what the first graphics card I used was. I know it was back when we still had a 486 and a 386. Dad said he needed to get a card just to run the 17" monitor. 8mb hard drive ooooooooo yeah! Or maybe it was 8 megs of ram, that sounds a little better. I don't know this was 20 something years ago

I do, mine was a 3dfx voodoo 3 card. Before nvidia dominated the scene 3dfx was the card to buy if you wanted performance and dependability back in those early days of PC gaming.

I heard about it, I'm excited because it'll make the lesser units cheaper.

I think the first card I bought with my own money might have been a Geforce 2 Ti that I got off my buddy. Most expensive card is what I currently have, my 7950 bought launch week.

If the performance of the 1070 is anywhere near what the claims are I'll probably just get that. Not that it matters pretty much any mid grade card now beats my current one so I step up regardless.
