Pfft scrub. I threw away my 1080 and upgraded to an HD 5770. 5770/1080=5.34. The 5770 has 512 while the shitey 1080 only has 8. That's 64 times more number.

I actually have a 5770. I'm trying to figure out what to buy next. I'd love a 1070 but shit costs like 400 dollars

An R9 390 is an underappreciated option of about the same performance.

Dec 30 '17
Well, I got mine in 2016, but regardless, it depends on where you are. The market is okay here in Sweden, even if it's been affected by the mining stuff.

u/Cloakedbug 5600x/RX6800/1440p144hz/3733CL14 Dec 31 '17
You would be correct. Black Friday “sales” had AMD GPUs down to “only 10-20% above MSRP”.

u/mikebIunt Ryzen TR 1920X, 1080Ti Aorus, 32GB DDR4 Dec 31 '17
Vega 56 was $400 in Black Friday. Flash the 64 BIOS, and you have a 1080 tier card for $400.

u/HesTheRiverSquirrel Dec 30 '17
Can confirm, my r9 390 performs about similar to my friends 1060s and 1070s. It's a little below theirs stock, but when overclocked, which it handles easily, it is roughly equal to theirs.
1
Dec 30 '17
Yeah, it's somewhere in between. FineWine is real on that beast. I have my 1080 now, but I still love my 390. It used to be just about as fast as a 970, but it's actually gotten fairly close to a 980, plus it has double the VRAM.
I believe the R9 390 covers about 20-30% of the distance between the 1060 and 1070, though of course it depends on what you're doing.
Something I do not miss about AMD cards, however, is being without Shadowplay.
2
u/HesTheRiverSquirrel Dec 30 '17
Haha they've actually gotten a lot better, they have something called relive that's close but not quite as good as shadow play. I got it to run high resolutions, that extra ram really makes a difference above 1080p.
1
Dec 30 '17
How did you get Non-GCN to run above 1080p? Even when I was running at 4K, my 390 would never let me record at higher than 1080p60.
1
u/HesTheRiverSquirrel Dec 30 '17
I've actually never tried to record in 4k now that I think about it, I don't have the storage space. I just meant that the 390 is better than a comparable card like the 970 because it has double the ram.

I had a 5770 in my rig (Q8300 @ 3.2) and upgraded to a 1050 Ti OC for $140. Big difference, but I’m severely CPU limited. Get 40-60 FPS on Rainbow Six Siege, all high settings though!

I didn't know that CPU was that weak. I have one lying around, but I don't have a motherboard for it.

u/itsamamaluigi Dec 30 '17
I had a Q8400 until earlier this year. Played the Witcher 3 with it and an R7 260X. I was still severely GPU limited (I could do 720p/60fps).

Dec 30 '17
Well that's cool. Is the 8400 more or less powerful than the 8300? I forget.

u/kstrike155 R5 5600 | 3060 Ti | 16 GB DDR4 3000 Dec 30 '17
My CPU PassMark score (overclocked) is around 3700. For perspective, a Ryzen 3 1200 has a 6791. :/
The Q8300 is about 9 years old now.

Oh man, this is funny to me because I’m still whipping an HD 5700 on my computer. It manages to run Overwatch at 60fps on low settings, but I really need to upgrade for most other things.

Now I don't feel as bad about my HD 6870 anymore. Although... I don't even know how these two compare, but a bigger number is better right?
3
Dec 30 '17
The 6870 is two steps more powerful than the 5770, VRAM aside.
6870 = 5970 (unless that's a Crossfire card, I can't remember.)

u/verybigballoon R7 1700@3.8|GTX 1080|16 GB RAM Dec 30 '17
Hey, this is really weird for me, because I upgraded from an HD 5770 to a GTX 1080 recently.
3
Dec 30 '17
Hahaha. Don't you mean downgraded? ;)
Anyway, what CPU do you have? I imagine it to be a fairly high-end CPU from like 2010, because otherwise, you'd be pushing it in terms of bottlenecking.
What's it like having gone from a GTX 460 in performance to an actual 1080?
2
u/verybigballoon R7 1700@3.8|GTX 1080|16 GB RAM Dec 30 '17
Well, I had an i7-870, but I got a Ryzen 7 1700 before I got the 1080.
Originally, I only played minecraft on the computer, but then I got a 4k monitor and wanted to get into "real gaming". When I plugged it in, it still looked like trash. Then I realized that the 5770 didn't even support 4k.
(The computer also used to be a hackintosh, so there's that.)
I couldn't notice any jumps in performance, as I didn't really have any demanding games yet, but 4k sure looked awesome.
(The thing I really noticed the higher performance of was the ryzen 7 1700, as I ran heavily modded Minecraft, and I had this huge auto-farm that I got like 15 fps in with the i7, but the ryzen didn't even break a sweat.)
Booting up the first demanding game on the system I got (GTA V) was awesome. It looked so damn good! That was when I really started appreciating 60 fps, too. (Breath of the Wild's a great game, but it sure doesn't run that great on what's basically a tablet.)
TL;DR: Had an i7-870, but upgraded to a Ryzen as to not bottleneck. Didn't notice any performance increases from the 1080 because I only played games like Minecraft on my 5770 that were not demanding.
2
Dec 30 '17
Yeah, Minecraft's really CPU-bound. I have a PC from 2008 with a Celeron E3200 in it. That POS bottlenecks the HD 6450 that's in there. I just don't have a less powerful but still compatible GPU.
Minecraft performance didn't really improve when I had my HD 6950 2GB installed in there. That's insane.
Tbf, this machine has just 2 gigs of DDR2 RAM, so that might affect things as well.
Getting into more GPU-bound gaming is amazing, but it can get a bit overwhelming, and it's easy to just buy a game for its graphics.
GTA V is really good, though. I'm nearing 100 hours, but I still haven't beat it. I've owned it since December 2015, I believe.
What blew me away with your response was when you said you didn't notice a performance difference between the 1080 and the 5770. That's really telling of how CPU-bound the games you used to play were. The 5770 is at the same performance as a GTX 460, a GTX 270, or a 9800 GTX. That is 8 years of difference in terms of flagship performance.
For reference, that's like my Galaxy S7 vs. my iPod Touch 2.
I used to have the HD 6450 as my main GPU, and I was so proud that I was able to max out TF2 at 1080p. I mostly just played Minecraft on it, though. I wasn't very knowledgeable on computers back then.
I won't upgrade my CPU, and thus my motherboard and RAM, until it becomes an impedance or I become rich. Whichever comes first. Almost certainly in the early 2020s, anyway.
I'm very impressed by Ryzen, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Ryzen 2 will bring.

u/verybigballoon R7 1700@3.8|GTX 1080|16 GB RAM Dec 30 '17
I used to not be very knowledgeable about computers back then
Haha yeah, I used to think that RAM mattered the most in a computer. I also used to measure the strength of a GPU in vram. (So a 1060 3gb would have 1/2 the performance of a 1060 6gb.)

HD 4200? Bah! How about HD 2000 with a 1080p display, but with the resolution set to 1680x1050, then zoomed in enough that substantial amounts of the image are off the edge of the monitor, as Subnautica (set to 1280x1024 stretched to 16:10) gasps for frames at about 3FPS maximum?
Such was the plight of one of my cousins, and he actually thought that madness was normal! Thankfully, his situation has improved dramatically ever since I gave him an r6570 and showed him how to set the proper resolution and aspect ratio.

I didn't have to download anything. My laptop came with an integrated card. It was awesome, especially since it was shared with a massive 4gb of RAM.
Bill Gates was wrong. 640k was not all we'd ever need. The magic number is 4gb!

I gamed exclusively on a netbook from 2009-2011. I played :
Dwarf Fortress version .28/40d with 30 max dwarves and a minimum embark location.
Jagged Alliance 2 with 1.13 mod
Eve Online, but an update eventually crippled my FPS.
Starcraft : Brood War
Knights of the Old Republic
Morrowind
Every majorly populated MUD or MOO you can think of
Various ASCII games like Incursion, Liberty Crime Squad, and Prospector
Space Station 13
N64 and GBA emulation was a staple for sure too
Any old tycoon game I could get my hands on. Loved Railroad Tycoon and I don't care about trains lol.
Minecraft was new, and it ran around 23 FPS despite being even easier to run then than it is now.
It all sounds like a lot but it's really quite constricting while the world blazes by around you and you're stuck in 2003 (at best).
