nVIDIA Makes Good On Its Promises With The GTX 1070

By Leave a Comment

nVIDIA Series 10 Video Cards Run Perfectly

The nVIDIA GTX 1070 Outranks Titan cards at a fraction of the cost.

In 2016, the big names in nVIDIA are the GTX 1080, the GTX 1070, and starting July 19th, the GTX 1060. With the new lineup, the company managed to demonstrate that when it comes to graphics, a gamer only needs three choices.

The GTX 1080 acts like the star athlete. It is the most powerful GPU nVIDIA was able to affordably (from a relative point of view) put together. The GTX 1060 is the low budget but high standards model. The world looks at the GTX 1070 and sees the dreaded middle child, doomed to a life of self-doubt and unreciprocated love.

nVIDIA GTX 1070 – The Good, The Bad, There Is No Ugly

First of all the issue of quality for the nVIDIA series 10 cards needs to be addressed. All three cards are amazing GPUs for their price. Each of the three has been built with a certain target audience in mind, and the GTX 1070 is definitely not the middle child or jack of all trades of the set.

Most of the times when it comes to nine out ten games from 2015 and previously, the differences between the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 will be as perceivable as the differences between a game running at 100 fps and at 120 fps. Because those are the exact values that Overwatch was running on at 1440p.

And when it comes to 1440p, the GTX 1070 is the go-to choice. It runs most present games on Ultra Settings at 45 fps and above without any issues (as long as the drivers are installed and up to date). It also handles VR impeccably and no initial testing resulted in any obvious flaws.

Even nVIDIA stated from the very start that they expect the GTX 1070 to be the year’s top seller. The GTX 1080 is a GPU addressed to a certain type of person and we all know that type of person.

Individuals who want to stream with Ultra settings at 100 fps in 1080p, who want to record with Ultra settings in 1440p, or who want to bask into the glorious nirvana of Ultra settings in 4K at just a smidge over 30 fps. The GTX 1080 is a trophy that is also a GPU, while the GTX 1070 is nothing more or less than a perfectly competent GPU.

The GTX 1070 is priced at $379 and is meant to keep most games running in 1440p at Very High or Ultra in 2016 and 2017, at least.

Radeon RX 480 at $200 beats the nVIDIA GTX 970 in VR and 1080p

By Leave a Comment

Radeon RX 480 is the most cost efficient 1080p video card

AMD’s Radeon RX 480 is so good, nVIDIA had to retaliate with the GTX 1060.

The Radeon RX 480 is AMD’s low-cost solution for a common problem of most PC users today.

The majority of home PC Users in 2016 are gamers. However, they are not avid gamers who want to play and stream the newest titles with all settings on Ultra or higher. They do want their gaming experience to be done at a comfortable 60 fps, the main reason why they chose a desktop and not a console in the first place.

Nevertheless, the big turn off for desktop users is the price of video cards. Even though it is very much worth it, PC users often have difficulty in paying $300 or more for a single component in their rig.

The Radeon RX 480 is currently available for $200. This is the lowest price tech of this level has ever been at.

Earlier this year, nVIDIA announced their 1070 and GTX 1080 models, guaranteeing better graphics at lower prices than ever before. The world was in shock to learn that quality ultra gaming and VR gaming were so much more accessible than initially believed. This accessibility still came with a hefty price but it was in the range of a much broader audience.

Radeon RX vs nVIDIA GTX

The Radeon RX 480 is not meant to be the card that competes with the GTX 1080 and takes it down both in quality in price. It is, however, winning the race against the nVIDIA GTX 970, a solid choice model which came out in the second half of 2014.

So why is it good that a new Radeon card is better than a two-year-old card from nVIDIA?

First of all, a newer card means newer core architecture, as well as more solid compatibility with newer titles and driver compatibility with operating systems.

Secondly, the Radeon RX 480 was designed and benchmarked with released VR technology and games, while older video cards either did not account for it or ran benchmarks with previous more buggy models.

Last,y. the price of the nVIDIA GTX 970 has gone down in the past couple of years since its release but is still nowhere near the price of a Radeon RX 480.

After logically looking at the performance benchmarks users only need to ask themselves if they would rather choose nVIDIA or save more than $100 on their video card purchase.

Nevertheless, nVIDIA has not been sitting idly in regards to Radeon’s endeavors. While prices for the GTX 970 will remain the same, nVIDIA announced their GTX 1060 model. The GTX 1060 currently is rated at being at least 15% more efficient in 1080p ultra gaming and in VR gaming than the RX 480. It will be priced at $249

While the Radeon RX 480 will still retain the best tech/price ratio, the nVIDIA GTX 1060 wants to be seen as doing the same for the current generation of gaming. The Radeon RX 480 is already available with the nVIDIA GTX 1060 coming July 19th.
