Although a stock 980 Ti is inferior to a Titan X, I'd say that a non-reference or aftermarket 980 Ti, especially with a factory OC, is superior to the Titan X. Same more or less for the Radeon Fury X: although the Fury X has shown itself capable of beating a reference 980 Ti, a non-reference 980 Ti like an EVGA FTW, Asus Strix, or Gigabyte Windforce will cream any and all Fury X cards - only reference Fury X cards exist today, even if they are being sold by AIB partners such as Sapphire. And that's not even looking at "magnum opus" cards such as EVGA's Kingpin, Gigabyte's G1 Gaming, MSI's Lightning and Asus' Matrix.
 
yeah but if we're talking 4gb limitation of the fury x it isn't as massive on account of hbm v1. And even then the "difference" between a fury x and a 980 ti. Isn't massive, their is a difference but from a purely price v performance perspective it aint worth it.
 
Hi everyone, I'm looking for any specific model of GTX 970 that will fit inside a Dell Precision T3600 case.

The case has a handle welded to the inside of the case door that juts out and makes it so that the card has be short (about 4.4 inches high or less) AND have the power connectors placed just right.

Does anyone out there have one in a T3600? Thanks very much!
 


Here's the smallest 970 I know of: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125706
 
A nice look at the new HBAO+ and Nvidia exclusive PhysX FLEX weapon debris effects just added to Fallout 4.

Whoa, it uses dedicated PhysX! That's pretty cool. The last game I played with dedicated PhysX making a better experience was Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequal. Glad to see another, newer game continuing the tech.
 
Heard lots of rumor (charlie of SA also make his own 'analysis' 😀 ) but i believe that nvidia try to keep things onto themselves as much as possible and try to look at what AMD intend to do first before making their own move. But all i know nvidia need to come out with GP100 ASAP to counter intel KNL.
 
I got a quick question, if it's off topic i'll just make a post. I'm ocing my gpu currently and i'm using msi afterburner with uniheaven benchmark, the mem clocks on afterburner say 1354, but on heaven's benchmark it's 1544? Where's it pulling the extra 200mhz?
 
Welp, i can push about 130 mhz on the core clock and about 500-600 mhz on the memory clock i'm pretty sure i can push the memory to 700+ but i don't see the point in it.

I also noticed the strangest thing, whenever i'd oc my card core clock to 140 no matter how much i'd increase the power limit or milli volts, i couldn't get it to be stable yet at 150mhz it would work fine by just tweaking the power limit. Anyone else run into this problem?
 
With the boost stuff i heard the overclocking utility that we usually use right now might cause instability. Some people claim if you really want to properly overcloxking kepler or maxwell based card you're going to need custom BIOS. Current overclocking using tools like msi still possible but they can lead to driver crash. Idk the details but it seems like the mismatch of core clock value (because of OC) and the card internal voltage causing conflict to the drivers causing the crash. So you need to use modded bios to correct the voltage to prevent crash.

With my 960, when manually overclocked the driver will crash each time when i exit my game. So what had been discussed might be valid to certain extend.
 
The irony of prosumerism in a nutshell, overclocking under warranty the ten loopholes you have to jump through to actually get it working properly voids 3 others.

Which makes complete sense from a business standpoint. Their gonna get a return on investment one way or another.
 
To me overclocking is more about marketing point these days. In the past people overclock so they don't need to speed on expensive part. But now? We see those K series on intel. Then to get good or stable overcloking we might need to buy motherboard with stronger VRM and such. On the gpu side they usually just clock their gpu low enough to create the illusion of big headroom OC. We see nvidia with their greenlit program where they limit the overclocking or else board partner will lose warranty from nvidia.
 
Yeah it's a bit sad but what can you do. Companies are always going to be for profit. They can't realistically just give away great warranty's without making something back, one way or the other. Illusion of choice, is better then no choice i suppose.
 
EVGA now makes GeForce cards in a "VR Edition." It has an extra HDMI 2.0 video output on the back of the card to enable an included 5.25" bay with an HDMI and two USB 3.0 ports. The bay installs as a front panel interface for a VR headset like Rift or Vive.

Worth it?

The necessary USB 3.0 ports connect to the motherboard with a header, but most motherboards' only USB 3.0 header is already taken up by the case's front panel USB ports. People wanting to build with this will probably need to seek out a motherboard with an additional header.
