Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation (DX12)
A veteran from our 2016 game list, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation continues to be the DirectX 12 trailblazer, with developer Oxide Games tailoring and designing the Nitrous Engine around such low-level APIs. Ashes remains fresh for us in many ways: Escalation was released as a standalone expansion in November 2016 and was eventually merged into the base game in February 2017, while August 2017's v2.4 brought Vulkan support. Of all of the games in our benchmark suite, this is the game making the best use of DirectX 12’s various features, from asynchronous compute to multi-threaded work submission and high batch counts. While what we see can’t be extrapolated to all DirectX 12 games, it gives us a very interesting look at what we might expect in the future.

I had been looking at the price for the GTX 1070/1070ti/1080 VEGA56/64 since early November. It's only the week before Christmas that I saw a slight price drop on some of the GTX 1080 on Amazon.ca. I was lucky enough to get a MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G for $550.By the time I installed it a week later, it was already back above $700... and it only got worst from that point on.
I really hope your current card isn't as old as my 7970 was.
The funny/sad thing for me now is that I'm still only using a good old 12 yo 22" 1680x1050 monitor and almost all of the good 27" 2560x1440 are sold out near me right now :(.

I was still using my GTX580 until last week when it finally died. I got a 950 from a coworker for $40, and it's doing okay, the fan is very loud. I was looking forward to getting a 1080Ti, but there is no way in heck that I'm going to pay current prices.Lord of the Bored - Friday, February 2, 2018 - link
I've got a Radeon 380, 4 gig.I wouldn't even be looking to update right now if I hadn't grabbed a Rift during the summer sale. That bumped me just outside my comfort zone, which is a shame since it turns out I REALLY like VR.
Oh well, it is still servicable. I can stalling for a little more time.

And now you can get a 1080 for $550-$575 lol. It's all over the place.Crazyeyeskillah - Monday, February 5, 2018 - link
Can't wait to pay 800$+ for this card.DnaAngel - Monday, May 21, 2018 - link
The 1070Ti is marketed to compete with the Vega 56? Heck, in a good bit of these benchmarks, esp at 1440p, the 1070Ti is neck and neck with not the Vega 56, but the Vega 64, which is almost 2x the price LOL.And yet as of writing this, AMD still has the 56 at $630 and the 64 at $800. Just bought a GTX 1070Ti for $475 2 days ago to replace my R9 390 that just died.

I want what AMD is smoking. For the current price of a Vega 64, you can get a 1080Ti lol. Or you can save a few hundred and get a $475 1070Ti that matches or outperforms Vega 64 at 1080/1440p in most titles hahaha.
