Spec me a new card

Vakas · 14 Aug 2016 at 20:33

Thinking of picking up a new card preferably something from NVidia unless AMD drivers have improved.

Currently using a EVGA 780 Classified looking to spend up to £400.

The £410 Zotac looks cert tempting...

Also seen this although it is a little over my budget.

Any ideas on how much I would get for my current card?

I still haven't bought a new card is the 1080 the only one that supports 4k?

Vakas · 15 Jan 2017 at 14:33

Is it worth paying the extra for a 1080 over the 1070?

Vakas · 15 Jan 2017 at 19:14

I'm at 1440 I'm more drawn to a 1080 really

Vakas · 15 Jan 2017 at 21:40

What's the AMD equipment to the 1080? My budget will stretch to a 1080.

I usually go with Evga for thier service and warranty which other brand offers good warranty

Vakas · 15 Jan 2017 at 22:06

Yeah it' is I thought I would spend the extra as I will be using it for a long while so I don't mind

Vakas · 16 Jan 2017 at 18:56

I guess I can wait as I do have a free sync panel but then again I am tempted by a 1080

Vakas · 16 Jan 2017 at 21:10

1070 or l080?

Vakas · 16 Jan 2017 at 23:39

So I have picked two:

Which one do you recommend?

Yes but I really want to get something now rather than later. The zotac looks a massive card though does it take up more than 2 slots it's pretty tall as well

Vakas · 17 Jan 2017 at 08:42

Does free sync really make a difference

Vakas · 17 Jan 2017 at 23:54

I've found the Evga 1080 quite a bit cheaper than the Zotac so probably get that

Vakas · 19 Jan 2017 at 08:50

Think I'm going for the Evga 1080 FTW

Vakas · 19 Jan 2017 at 10:54

I have actually placed the order it's arriving today.

Hopefully it will be fine but if not ive got warranty so can get it changed.

Vakas · 19 Jan 2017 at 11:12

I have spoken to EVGA they assure me all the cards shipping after November have been updated with new thermals and are fine and i have nothing to worry about.

Vakas · 19 Jan 2017 at 11:36

As I have already orded the card I will stick with it see how it goes.

I will keep you guys updated.

Vakas · 19 Jan 2017 at 11:55

Vakas · 19 Jan 2017 at 12:17
