Hey guys, Just received my Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming edition. This is the card with the 3 fans and the orange accents. Installed the card in my Asus Z97-A Mobo w/ i7 4770k running Windows 10 Home 64-bit. Uninstalled all drivers and clean installed for new card. Navigated to Gigabyte website...

QUICK UPDATE TO PREVIOUS POST: I read somewhere on a forum that when scaling with SLI, you should change your MSAA setting to x8 and this will fix the issue. Ridiculous right?> After going back and running the same SLI test with MSAA changed to x8; I am getting between 80-99% GPU Usage ALL THE...

(2) Titan X's here in SLI. I am experiencing the exact same issues. This is what is really weird. Tonight I did some benchmarking to test GPU usage during gaming. TITAN X SLI: 1440p MAXED 2x MSAA When standing still (doesn't matter where) both GPU's are at 95-99% usage. Getting 105-130 fps Jump...

I just purchased a 2nd Titan X after receiving my first on yesterday. Coming from 970 SLI, the performance of (1) Titan X is amazing. Just gotta have 2

Hello, I recently moved my system into a new case for cooling reasons. I have ALWAYS used MSI motherboards in the past. Previously I was using a MSI Z97M Gaming. I moved my system into another case and decided to give ASUS a try. I'm using the Z97-A. Specs: 4770k ASUS Z97-a 16GB DDR3 GTX 970...

Sounds about right. That what I get for buying cheap cables for a $2000+ custom build PC. I'm almost to smart for my own good.

Will they work if I modify the plastic around the pins? The extension would line up perfectly with the PSU PCI-E line if im looking at this correctly

Hey guys, I am trying to "pretty" up my system and provide better airflow by cleaning up the cables. I have (2) Gigabyte GTX 970's running in SLI. Both cards take (1) 8-pin & (1) 6-pin input from the PSU. I ordered these...

Also, not sure, but if I exhaust the cpu fans and turned the rear exhaust to intake, the air temp would only change by a few degrees. I can't see that making a noticiple difference in the GPU temps considering blowing a fan on them from the outside of the case didn't improve the temps much. May...

That would be great, but the rear are 80mm slots, not 120mm. The only place for the CPU radiator and fans are where they are, becuase on top they would hit the mobo. Just limited options with these mini builds.

That's true. Theses temps are happening while running Far Cry 4 on ultra @ 1440p 90fps. That's about as much stress as you can apply to these cards. Anyways, got the cards to stabalize around 79c-80c with the rear exhaust fan and NO overclock. I'll live with it for now.

Thanks for the responses. I have tried everything at this point. I have added an exhaust fan right above the 1st GPU on the back of the 240 case. There are limited fan slots, but I already have a 1500 RPM corsair 120mm fan blowing directly on the (2) GPU's from the front of the case. I have...

Hey guys, I just build a brand new system using the Corsair Air 240 Micro-ATX case. The system looks amazing, but im having some serious issues with my Gigabyte GTX 970's. I realize that they are close together, and there isn't a ton of room to breath, but these things are running hot. So hot...

Question: Recently installed a second Gigabyte 780ti in SLI. My current 780ti is the OC version, and the new one is a GHZ version. Both Gigabyte cards. I have CLEAN installed 3 different versions on NVIDIA drivers (currently the latest). I have re-installed games. I use Driver Fusion &...

My original post was less than 10 months ago and the 780 TI's are already obsolete. 3 gb ram isn't enough to play anything at 4k
