[NewPc] Yay finally a new pc!

Thank you :3

Well the name is not feminine, it's taken from a RPG character: Pesmerga

For the image, I like it, if I put a car as an avatar it doesn't mean I'm a car :D

mmm maybe, I hope not, we'll have to wait and see :D

up to a certain point :p

Right now the 980 is around 600€, with the same money I can buy a good gpu that maxes out games in 1080p now and replace it with another 300€ one in a few years. Yeah in the end I'll spend the same but the newer card will be more efficent, more powerful and maybe with new features :o

there is no stutter in 99% of the cases. i personally didn't experience any problems at all, and i bought most new games of the last 6 months. of course the websites try to force problems whereever they can, so they can post an article about the famous 3.5GB problem... ^^

if the 3.5GB thing weren't a problem in today's games then there wouldn't have been that many complaints now, would there?

uhm, are you new to the internet? ;) people always like to complain about everything. the main complaint is that nvidia lied to their customers. if they had marketed the 970 as a 3.5GB card, i am sure it would have sold just as well, and everybody would have been fine with it.

fact is, that most games don't come close even to use up that much memory at 1080p. yes, there are a few exceptions. but some of them use even more than 4GB, so the 980 also is not sufficient. look at extreme examples like shadow of mordor with the ultra texture pack. as i recall, this game can consume 6+ GB. there is no graphics card right now, that can offer that much memory, except the Titan (which ironically is slower than a 980, and even a 970). and when the time comes when most games need significantly more memory than today, the 980 will also have nearly as many problems as the 970. we are not talking about a big difference in memory here between those 2 cards. it's not like if you compare 2 to 3 or 4GB. it's just 3.5 to 4GB. that is actually not much.

i personally do it like this: i buy a new card every year. this time i didn't invest 500-600€ for the 980, i invested 300€ for the 970. this gave me a 50% performance boost and doubled the amount of VRAM (compared to my old 770). i was able to sell the 770 for 180€. next time i will buy the newest equivalent card and sell my 970. so i get basically the performance of a 980 (i overclocked the card, which actually gives me exactly that performance), i spend less money, and i get an upgrade of VRAM faster than people, who buy a 980 and intend to use it for 2-3 years. because in 2-3 years the 980 owners probably have to set textures to medium in most games. i can crank everything up right now (except for those very few exceptions like shadow of mordor with ultra high-res textures - as i said, same goes for the 980 aswell).

yep no gpu, for now :D
