*reads title* Fairly sure you didn't.
Alright, you got me. To play minecraft? No.
But I have bought a 1080.
To play Minecraft? *Chuckles*
Waste of money, Mediocre Gamers could've eaten that 1080...
He forgot to say "At 1080p" since obviously the 1080 was intended to play stuff at 1080p :P Seriously what was Nvidia thinking when they named it the 1080? Also I still believe people should wait for AMD's cards.
But... but... muh hype. And I *needs* to buy the latest gen, overpriced Nvidia/Intel products NAO if I want to be part of the cool kids!
Nah, but seriously: I prefer AMD because of the simple fact they offer budget-friendly options. And given the prices where I live:
GTX 1080 = 1250 US dollars, and that's with stock cooler
GTX 980Ti = 1000 *minimum*, some go more expensive than the 1080
R9 Fury = 800
R9 390X = 700 (again, this is in US dollars!)
I'd rather take the less budget-shattering brand. Not that I can actually afford any of 'em top end cards, though.
Also, "but lotsa power draw, gl;hf with power bill"? That's. A. MYTH.
Unless you go for something absurd like mining bitcoin with four R9 390s on crossfire, the power draw isn't nearly as much of an impact of say: A fridge, a dishwasher, a washing machine, an electric heater, an AC unit, and pretty much anything that goes over 500W and runs more often than your comp *on full load*.
Because hey, you can fit a 390X in a 500W build (450W even). Not alongside an overclocked FX-8350, duh, but you can.
