    EVGA GTX 980ti HYBRID vs KFA2 GTX 1070 EX

    I guess z77 is fine since I did not have any problems. Yes, in that screenshot the 980ti is stock but so is the 1070 I highlighted. If we were to say these cards perform the same, isn't it only upto the better cooling system and power efficiency to decide? This is of course in a world where...

    EVGA GTX 980ti HYBRID vs KFA2 GTX 1070 EX

    bilder upload Well if it is like 780ti vs 970 I am not really sure if it NVIDIA will make it worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHG86P4cC6k&t=0s And so far with 3 driver updates, it doesn't seem like they nerfed it? If this was of course like inno3d ichill x4 1070 vs 980ti Hybrid I would...

    EVGA GTX 980ti HYBRID vs KFA2 GTX 1070 EX

    Dear forum fellows, I have a question which you probably came across before but since I googled the very specific question I did not find many satisfactory answers. So here it goes: There are 2 PCs at home, 1 for my fiancee and 1 for me. We are both gamers and play almost every game from FPS...

    Good gaming build?

    I would still go for Windows 8 or 8.1. In Windows 8 you can enable some dx11.1 features even on a gtx 660 as it supports the features that are implemented by games. Furthermore, do not go for 660 ti, I have 2x660s myself and that 192bit actually "cripples" the cards' performance when video...

    Battlefield 4 VRAM Wall Performance Drop?

    I had to switch to Borderless mode and lock fps from in-game console to +2 over the refresh rate of my monitor. That completely, once and for all eliminated all the client crashes I had with audio loop. OCing the non-factory-OC 660 by giving it some voltage and limiting its turbo to 1136Mhz (my...

    GTX 660 whines and causes lag

    Disable any overclocks you have applied and if it does not work I suggest r9 270x. It is performing better than 660.

    GTX 660 whines and causes lag

    On Crysis 2 or 3 my temps don't go above 67 max. In Furmark I see 73-74 max. This indicates to a higher power draw and core utilization and hence more comprehensive testing. OP's card is a GTX 660 so your 470 is totally irrelevant when we are talking about Furmark.

    GTX 660 whines and causes lag

    There is no taking chances with Furmark here. Gtx 660 is not a 50 dollar graphics card to burn up in Furmark or anything. That was 3 years ago with less throttle systems on the cards or when people stupidly overvolt their cards with extreme overclocks that are most likely to fail. Furmark is a...

    GTX 660 whines and causes lag

    Furmark is NOT dangerous on a proper system. I have let Furmark run for an hour on my SLI setup without any issues. It is not a strain over the limit it is same as a game utilizing a lot of the capacity of the graphics card except the VRAM usage, which stays low in Furmark. Unless you are...
