Looking to maybe upgrade my GTX560ti SLI set-up but I haven't found the right deal just yet!

they are both overclocked and giving me more power than a single GTX680 so I'm in no hurry!

SoCalledMe4064d ago

Well you should wait and see if at the end the AMDs 8000 series isn't just a refresh( very unlikely ) or wait for Nvidia Kepler refresh , but I would personaly wait for Maxwell or its competitor from AMD .

ATi_Elite4062d ago

AMD HD8000 isn't coming out till 2014

I rather get a GREAT deal on HD7000 or GTX600 series!

I always run SLI or CFX so I will have more power than a single GTX x80 or HD x970 card!

GTX 660 ti SLI or HD7950 CFX @ $550 is the price point I'm looking for!

plus selling my old cards will get me a $250 so I'm only spending $300

LightofDarkness4064d ago

I'm on a single 580 and prefer the single card setup, so I'm eagerly awaiting the new line of Southern Islands GPUs and the Kepler refresh.

Although considering the pricing of the GTX Titan, I'm somewhat concerned about the way Nvidia and AMD have been handling replacements in their pricing models. As we know, the Titan was the original GTX 680 until they decided they could get away with replacing a flagship GPU with a Mid-High end part and charge the same money, which was also sparked by AMD charging over $500 for their flagship on release simply because it was faster than the closest Nvidia GPU (the 580). They can't keep upping the price each generation relative to the fastest of the previous refresh like this or PC gaming WILL become prohibitively expensive.

Sarcasm4063d ago

I agree. It's true, AMD and Nvidia are getting ridiculous.

Instead of lowering the price of their current crop of GPUs, they just come out with more expensive ones. The price/performance ratio is staying the same.

They need to lower the price of what they have now, and introduce the newer generations at the same price point, not a higher one.

hiredhelp4064d ago

AMD Stated they not making 8000 series instead they pushing more efforts into there drivers given the 7000 series AMD cards more performance boost.
I never had a gtx560ti sli. But I did have a gtx560. Sli. It gave me solid 60fps bf3 but I'm not sure it's level to a gtx680 lol?.
I'm running happy on my 7970 looking by another refrence design few months.

Software_Lover4064d ago

My current ITX setup is using an MSI 7950 frozr iii. I'm happy with what I'm getting and see no reason to upgrade at the moment.

fossilfern4064d ago (Edited 4064d ago )

What is going on with the 8 series from AMD? Im on a 6950 2GB which is more than capable but I just want an excuse to upgrade :/

IaMs124063d ago

Still an my HD 5770 awesome card it has been but im looking to upgrade. Especially since my screen pops black every so often and get a blank green screen of death as well, i think its going to die soon. Not sure what to get though. Any suggestions?

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai11h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken10h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye9h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken7h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno5h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop4h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger5h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer4h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1493h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris3h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .

ocelot079m ago

Just couldn't get into Gears 5. Gears 4 was pretty fun though.
