    Will running two monitors (1 4k @60hz and 2 1080p @ 144hz) simultaneously on a GTX 1080 ti reduce performance in games?

    I am upgrading from a 980ti to an Asus Strix OC gtx 1080 ti graphics card on my rig as I want to experience stable 4k gameplay; I was wondering if I could run both screens simultaneously without causing a significant impact to gaming on the 4k monitor while running 144hz on the 1080p screen

However, it does not come with a single cable that has two 8 pin...

    Cross architecture multi GPU support

    I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 980 ti to replace my old MSI GTX 780 ti. Now that my old GPU is sitting in storage, pretty much gathering dust, I was wondering if it is possible to put that one into my other free PCIe slot and have the two GPUs act as one... I do have windows 10 installed, so I...

    To upgrade or not to upgrade: Gtx 780 ti to Gtx 980 ti

    There is no question that the 980 Ti is, on the whole, better for gaming than the 780 ti - numerous benchmarks prove it. I was just wondering if it is worth ugprading from a gtx 780 ti in my current gaming rig to a 980 ti - does the cost/performance ratio justify it?

    GPU not hitting maximum TDP (100%)

    I have a MSI Geforce GTX 780ti Gaming edition, and even when using the 'OC' mode in the factory supplied MSI gaming app (increases core clocks to 1020Mhz from 980), the Graphics card still seems to only hover around 80% TDP (checked using GPU-Z) This was during stress testing with furmark, so I...

    Thanks for the responses! I'm going to go with installing the fan so that it blows hot air from the heatsink out of the case's rear exhaust fan.

    Hyper 212 EVO in a thorV2 - airflow

    I plan on installing a Coolemaster Hyper 212 EVO on my i5 4690 CPU in a Rosewill thor V2 case; the case has two exhaust fans near the CPU area, one pushing air out the top and one pushing out the back. For optimal cooling and airflow, which way should I set the fan on the Hyper 212 evo's...
