What's most important for you in the new graphics cards?

[W1zzard]

With NVIDIA and AMD releasing new GPUs soon, where are your priorities?

 

[Assimilator]

4K playability. No, I don't have a 4k monitor, but I really like using DSR to upscale my games.

 

[Ferrum Master]

4K playability and price/perf is kind of the same really...

 

[AlienIsGOD]

price/perf my 680 suits me well still, but if i can find a cost effective alternative that performs the same or a bit better then i would consider buying a new card.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Less power consumption. Being stuck on 28nm, they took power/heat to the max to release faster products. I'd rather they get back down to reasonable power/thermal envelopes so we don't need a 600+w PSU to run one card.

 

[darkangel0504]

I think PhysX and Gamework are the most important in my new graphic card

I couldn't vote because a box is popping up asking me to log into a German site...?



For me...a quiet video card is more important than performance. No noise period.

Price/Performance. I want 980Ti performance in a $200 Gpu.

I got the same pop up and cancelled it.

 

[arnold_al_qadr]

got the pop up too..

for me, price per performance is the most important..

 

[AsRock]

Performance and reliability.

 

[Basard]

As long as it's not loud as sin... and I like to be able to take the thing apart easily to clean it.

I had a 5870 with a blower on it, loud as hell. It was the ASUS ROG 2GB. Nice cooler, worked well, fan never died or showed any signs of death, it's still running great in Granny's computer. But you had to take damn near EVERY screw, and re-apply thermal paste if you wanted to take the plastic shroud off--stupid.

I didn't buy the card new, or else I would have gotten one with a more open heat sink.

I'd pay a 40-50$ premium for a card that could be torn down easily.

But then I hold on to hardware until it's dying breath. Hell, a few months ago, I just upgraded to an FX chip and a new AM3+ board and SSD. I'd been on the same 250GB Barracuda for over seven years, it's still in my system as a back-up drive.

So I don't really count for much.

Performance and reliability.

I'd like to see reliability added to the poll.

@AlienIsGOD signature is causing that.

It does that on this thread to me too but not on the main page.

Price/Performance and power consumption

 

[Grings]

Price and performance

As long as they stay within 2x 8-pin pci-e + mobo 75w i'm not too bothered about power consumption

And no blowers, hate cleaning those things

 

[GoldenX]

In order:

1. Price and performance.
2. No PCI-E connector.
3. DX12 and Vulkan support.

 

[the54thvoid]

Performance untarnished by crappy components that squeal under load like piglets.

 

[natr0n]

A working card.

 

[Folterknecht]

The whole package - the reason the GTX970 is better than the 290/390 in my book - price/performance there is no real difference between those cards. But my god, the power consumption and the resulting heat/noise ... a 390 would drive me nuts.

I want it all. Performance, good price, efficiency, simplicity, and feature set. I really wish we were getting HBM2 now as it would make putting a CLC on it a bit simpler, usually you have dead air over one row of ram with current cards. On another note I'm considering AMD for the first time in ages. I'm just sick of nvidia always dragging their feet with supporting the latest features and port standards. AMD always seems to jump on that stuff as soon as possible. On the other hand I've heard nvidia might try to make up for their async compute deficit with brute force which would be great for pre-DX12 game performance. Guess we'll see soon how things go.

By far the biggest need is performance. I get there's people that are on 1080p, don't care about maxing every setting, and they're thinking we have more performance than we'll ever need already, but personally I see a huge demand for more speed right now. High res displays, high speed displays, VR. We need double the single card performance like 6 months ago.

That's what you see on this comment page, but if you go to the main news page it has the poll.
