Proud owner of an MSI Gaming X 1080 now.

Clocks OK to 2076. Temps at 70 C max. Happy camper here.

Time to start saving for that new cpu now ^^

now that i'm financially better off i'm pondering what kind of upgrade i'd get moving from my 3770 to a 7500k/7600k... has anyone made that jump (from a 4.5ghz OC + fast DDR3 ram) and seen gains with a 10x0?

I'm on a 4.4 Ghz i5 3570k ATM and I could probably gain 10-15% with a decent CPU upgrade. But I'll be damned if I pay full price for another 4c CPU. Can't justify that tbh because it'll be a full platform upgrade for a measly (best case) 15% perf. So, at this time seeing how Ryzen clocks, I'm waiting on Intel to bring 6c/12t to mainstream, X99 to come down abit, OR Ryzen2.

By the way, regardless of that bottleneck; top of bracket, and 8th of all similar systems ;) (menno_rutten is me)

MSI silent beast :toast:
 
Yeah I love it, up to 70% fanspeed even the MSI is inaudible in my case. Literally can't hear it. It's even better than my old MSI GTX 770 was at 50% fan :P ridiculous

FS 1.1 normal
 
You aren't going to return this one are you?

Nope, with this one I actually have faith it'll outlast its usefulness, which I didn't have with that FTW :)

But...but.... Vega is coming!!! :D

So is Volta, Ryzen 2, Vega Ultra Fury XYZ

Next GPU upgrade will be properly scaled for full blown 1440p/120hz, so I can wait and see what happens ^^ I can't part with my 120hz 1080p VA yet, match made in heaven over here. Best monitor I ever had, and this 1080 can push all of it fine :)
 
Just had a quick look, and the 7600K is an i5 and $335, so with a board to match should be around $700

you forgot to add in 16GB of DDR4 3000 ;)

Better off just going for Ryzen in that case, Get a nice 1600X or 1700. I mean, if youre going to be going down the route of a new board & CPU anyway you might as well get it over and done with.

Ryzen is an option. A little cheaper, a little slower per core... but the bonus cores could pay off long term. Waiting for more mature boards if i go down that road, if nothing else (see the recent updates for XMP support, for example)

MSI 1080 gaming Z here... and apart from hyper threading, we're in the exact same boat :p
(btw mine has no capacitor whine til 400FPS, which is friggin amazing compared to my EVGA 970's that whined even at 60 FPS)


Ugh now i'm pondering a GPU swap with my LAN rig to see if FPS is smoother on the 6th gen setup... but single channel RAM might make it moot. need to get myself a cheap 8GB stick :/

That shit must be gold plated, it costs more than the Motherboard, and in some cases the CPU. :eek:

My 1080's also no whiner at all :) Seems they learned abit from Maxwell. I hardly see any 'whining' about whine :)

NO whining here as well. My last whining card was a HD3870 with the odd GDDR4.:p
(Had a few laptops after that....)

The manufacturers did a better job this time it seems, since they probably have gotten many complaints about it in the past....
 
I was reading something on the internet and I read somewhere that they said a GTX1070 is a mid-range card.
Well personally I still consider my 519 Euros GTX1070 a high-end card and it's performance is still in high-end whatever they say. :p
 
tis not cheap at all... i'll be selling off my 3rd and 4th systems to achieve the upgrade (and it wont be for a few months, we're talking $1k au just to get a 6/7 series K chip mobo and ram)

in all honesty i would just overclock your cpu some more if you plan on getting a new one. stay below 1.45v and you wont have any issues. id shoot for 4.7-4.8
 
1080 =high end
1080Ti = extreme high end
 
That makes feel my 1080 embarrassed.

You should be glad you gave up that xeon because your 1080 was under performing in that rig.

In fact after i get the 1080ti i will put it back in that Rig:D
 
1070 = high end
1080 = higher end
1080ti = highest end
1090 = Mount Higherest
 
Well if you don't wanna see it there buy it.

:D:p

No thanks, I'm good! ;)
I'm still impressed with my MSI 1070's performance, even at 1440p now! :)
