Anyone with a EVGA 980ti Hybrid?

Hey guys!

The stock fan on the radiator is connected to the Gpu and i dont know if its just me since I have been reading reviews on newegg about how quiet the card and radiator fan is. But me personally think its loud as hell. Feels like its running at full throttle. I have been looking around for a answer and there are other owners that have replaced the fan with silent one. but again Im not 100% sure if there is something wrong with the fan controller on my card.

Yeah i agree. But having a power full rig will always give you some advantages. I mean i prefer at least 60fps. But when i get the new monitor running at the resolution of 3k i know the gsync will come in handy!

back in the old NVidia 8800 days I got my first 42'' screen [1080] with one card it had a time pushing it in sli it was no issue higher frames and all so just going from at the time a 19'' to 42'' on one card was night and day and slowed things down. 2 cards in sli did a great job even with games that were not optimized for sli .. so it seemed at the time the screen /display size made a difference overall .. so with a 60'' still at 1080 I figure at least a 980 will do the trick [??] regardless its the hybrid design I want to give a try I think its worth it cooling wise over air on these cards


now with that g-sync is that one of the things there findin they need to turn off on the 900 cards ?

'' When the G-sync monitor is plugged in, there is a 5% performance hit (it was 17% with the PCI-E Gen 2 default). ''

haha yeah at that time i where running GT8800 chaindog edition sli...While trying to get a good fps in Age Of Connan good times! back to Gsync the gsync are elimination the shuttering on the screen. If you remember old servers that loaded half of the image on the screen and you got that split between the bottom half and the top half.

don't know? I guess you will see when you get that new monitor up and going.

sure seems these cards today need a lot of ''gimmickware '' make me wonder really how good is the hardware its self overall ?? won't be long a cards driver maybe near 1gb download to support the hype ..

for me right now most all this stuff is mostly unnecessary . how bout a hard working card and a driver with out all that added software ? sure seem to be a few having to disable /turn off/uninstall thing to get there 900 cards working right ? my favorite was limiting the fps on there 970 cards trying to fix coil whine .. why do I want a top end performance card that I end up limiting it to get it to work as I expected it to ?? why would I buy it to limit it I thought I was getting a card to get all max fps ?? wow

then like the things like shadow play and something else in the driver packet that causes there cards not to down clock properly and they run hot ??

things like that I can do with out overall , but that's just me ..

one thing for sure I cant see going back to AMD , nothing they have going right now I'm impressed with [refresh of the refresh of the refresh ] and limited os support seeing I still run drives with xp and vista on them

lol.. I don't know I just buy a card and run it and hope for the best in the end from it


anyway between that card and you get that monitor you should have enough eye candy for the next 2 years at least . looks like a nice set up to me
