Why don't you own GTX 980Ti /v/?
It's the only way to properly play video games.

NOPE
>>315554529
I have one but my MSI gaming motherboard fucked up so I have to send it in for a replacement.
>>315554943
>Nvidia branded game
>runs better on AMD
IT ISN'T FUCKING FAIR
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TO WAY ITS MEANT TO BE PLAYED
>>315555589
>970 outperforming 980
That graph is all sorts of fucked up
Tempted to get a second one for crossfire. The temps are quite nice for a 290X, never go above 60 degrees under load.
>>315556175
>never go above 60 degrees under load
Why do people lie about their temps?
70C maybe, but not 60C implying you stay in the 50s mostly at load
>>315555421
don't be poor
only niggers are <1440p
>>315554943
enjoy your gameworks and planned obsolescence, meanwhile my two year olds 290x's are still kicking ass
CF drivers are way better than SLI
CF doesn't need that fucking hideous bridge either

Only for certain cards
>>315557409
for 290/x, 390/x, and fury/x
aka the ones that are made for crossfiring. If you multi-gpu low end cards on either side you're a fucking idiot
>>315557627
>>315557409
Whoops just looked it up, also 260/x, 250/x, and 240
why anyone would crossfire those cards instead of just getting a better one to begin with is beyond me
>4k gaming
>There are actually people who tried to buy in in the year 2015
What a bunch of fucking idiots.
>>315557765

>>315558037
>PCs are for work and browsing the internet.
Kek, you have to be a literal retard to say this even as trolling.
I've got a 970 and it's already super overkill for most of the games I play. I only need 1080p/ 60 fps so yeah. Even if I upgraded my monitor I think it'd still be overkill, or I'd just need to overclock it a bit.
Also /g/ says 4k is a meme, senpai!
Anyone know an all black euquivalent to the MSI Gaming 5 motherboard?
Cuz I own a Titan-X Faggot.
>>315558234
if it's stable, yes that's pretty good
make sure that shit don't get too hot
>>315556957
I just stressed out my GPU as much as possible with heaven and I can't get it above 65 degrees under these extreme conditions
because i'm waiting for pascal. rumors are the 970 equivalent of the pascal cards will be as powerful as a 980 TI so i'm looking forward to the 980 pascal equivalent.
>>315556175
>>315555207
how do I open this on my pc?
>>315558837
The 1080ti will be about as powerful as a 980ti, but Nvidia will gimp the 980tis to make it look less powerful
>>315558837
>buying into nvidia after all the lies they've told you
lel
having said that AMD's new cards are nothing impressive, they're almost all rebrands
AMD needs to up their shit, i'm never buying nvidia again
>>315559256
what are you going to buy once AMD goes bankrupt?
>>315558681
it tops to 75°c, and the vrm's are not hot to the touch, is it safe to take it to 80°c?

k, not worth it then.
>>315554529
Because I'm getting Pascal next year, kek.
I own a960
send help
>>315554529
Because it's expensive as fuck. Also why the fuck would I play any Anno game? City building games are for faggots.
Because Nvidia is notorious for keeping up with AMD flagships over a long period of time. For example: the 290/290x were meant to be GTX 780 competitors, they would trade blows in benchmarks usually. Now? The 290x is trading blows with the 980 in newer games in 2015, NVIDIA has no excuse, honestly.
Because I have a based hd 7970And I never play games at release anyway
>>315555207
>Windows 10
HAHAHAHA no
I have 2 senpai OP
>>315554529
Because I have other things to do with the money I earn.
You will too, once you've moved out from your mom's
>>315554529
What video games?
>>315554801
>25fps difference between 780ti and 980ti
They really keked us
Nvidia never fucking again.
>>315563123
I own a house and have a wife and I can afford it
new cards come out next year with a different process that will shit all over the current offerings. 3D memory yo
>>315556957
Temperatures are not the problem.
Any GPU can have managable temperatures if the heatsink is big enough and the fans are fast enough.
The problem is how much haet is getting dumped into the case.
1 gpu is fine, but with 2 shit can compound quite badly if you dont have a jet engine worth of case fans.
The only way to know how much heat your GPU is dumping into your case is power consumption.
>>315554801
i thank jesus eveyday i didnt buy a 780ti
>>315563419
My memory is 4D, bitch.
I'm getting a GTX 950 soon. It's the mid-range card to get right now.
>>315554801
DELETE THIS
>>315563456
980ti fags are going to get keked just as hard in a year
970 here. IDGAF
>>315562896
enjoy your security flaws faggot. :)
>>315563271
It's like 50% faster and it was $50 cheaper at launch.
It's probably nvidia's most cost effective flagship to date.
>>315554529
fuck this year cards.
Castrated Maxwell and Oh, fuck new node is not ready Fury.
I'll wait for Pascal and Arctic Islands, my 290X is fine.
>>315554529
>20.6 fps
thats not even a function movie frame rate.
>>315563650
Don't underestimate nvidia's jewery.
Sure pascal will be faster, but they didn't promise it would be the same price.
The 780 was about as expensive as the 980ti was at launch.
>>315554529
'Cause I don't care enough to blow $600 on a graphics card.
>buying jewvidia
i mean, come on
>>315564191
At the time the 970 looked like an awesome card, now I'm going to ride this puppy as long as I can before switching over to AMD, especially now that AMD is putting more effort into the software side of things
>>315564339
It was and still is a pretty effective card for the price.
The 3.5gb doesn't show its effects in frametime or framerate tests anyway.
>>315564502
Yeah, honestly have never noticed it even after it was discovered, and it overclocks like a beast
Been pretty happy with it, I just hope it ages better than Kepler has
Is a 980ti for 580 a good deal. Should I wait until black friday? Should I just buy AMD?
>>315564659
You gonna get fucked once Nvidia stopps the 970 with drivers from shitting itself.
See shit like the BO3 beta without proper drivers. The game is trying to use the last 0.5GB VRAM and it starts stuttering like hell.
>>315564770
That's a pretty good discount
Honestly unless you need a new card right now, wait until next year when they all get a die shrink and new memory
>>315564868
But GTA V uses about 3.7gb with the settings I have and it runs fine
>>315564659
they already advertise Pascal with features they removed in Maxwell to get extra efficiency. Also doesn't comply by some optional DX12 rules.
We'll see.
I'm a bit interested how devs will work with this card. I mean in DX12 devs can allocate memory themselves. But I guess we'll have to rely on nVidia drivers.
>>315564770
I agree with anon above me. If you can help it, wait for the next year.
Even if you don't have money on HBM2 card, die shrink and GDDR5x will make a difference.
Maxwell is for de gamerz, pascal is for everyone.
>>315564770
If it's not stock, then yeah, but unless you're making one of them tiny PC,s never go stock 980ti, all of the other options have pretty rad stock overclocks.
>>315564987
That's what the drivers make you think.
It's not actually using 3.7GB
>>315564987
GTA V uses 3.3GB of VRAM on my 2gb 770 and runs fine.
Graphics cards are weird.
>>315565175
>>315565301
Even going off of MSI afterburner?
>>315565643
Yeah, it isn't accurate. See Fury X benchmarks showing it using 6GB Vram in games like Unity.
>worrying about new releases when everything is a console port that barely challenges mid cards
>b-buh muh resolution
Everyone knows the human eye can only see up to 1080p senpai
>>315554832
Same. I got a 980 on launch day and it's been great. No reason to upgrade until the HBM 2.0 cards come out. Even then I'm sure the 980 will be more than capable of playing everything on Ultra or slightly below.
The next gen of GPUs should be a nice jump up and I'll probably get whatever is the best flagship when they drop though.
>>315565801
If we learned one thing from Fallout 4 it's the fact that we need high end GPUs to keep up with last gen looking console ports nowdays.
>>315565889
>980
>everyhing on Ultra
I'm barely above 40fps@1440p with my overclocked 980ti in games like Witcher 3. How the actual fuck?
>>315565991
;_;
>>315566158
>or slightly below
I get more than double that with only Hairworks off at 1080p.
>>315566158
Do you have Hairworks on?
A 980ti should have no problems with Hairworks off at 1440p
>>315566286
Why does this suprise anyone?
Even Advanced Warfare spiked up to 7GB of VRam usage. It's fucking insane how demanding these games are.
>>315566470
>demanding
You mean unoptimized
>>315565643
MOAR vram has always been pretty useless.
Graphics cards usually have the amount of VRAM their GPU can manage.
A 9800gt wont run modern games slowly because it has 512MB of vram (did those things have 768? i cant remember), it wouldn't do even slightly better with 16GB of vram because it's GPU can't load that much data fast enough.
There as some graphics cards that are made with memory limitations, of which the 970 doesn't seem to be.
The 960 on the other hand, that 128bit bus is not doing it any favours.
>>315554529
>Why don't you own GTX 980Ti /v/?
But I do.At work
I do though
I just need an actual good monitor for it
>>315566286
Bet it runs fine at it's intended resolution.
>>315566573
I'm not surprised.
We needed 512mb cards to run last gen console game ports, we'll probably need 8gb cards this time too.
>>315554529
Because videogames are shit nowadays.
>>315555207
>Only a single 980ti
Are you on welfare?
>>315554529
Because the TI came out shortly after I got my 980, because I'm oblivious. But I'm quite happy with my 980.
because I have better
Because I have a 980 that does perfectly well on 1440.
Will upgrade when Nvidia releases the same card for 4k. Or AMD if they fix their god awful TDP.
>>315566870
So you are in a board about videogames saying that videogames are shit nowadays? k
>>315567213
I'm posting on the blue /b/. Anything you post is allowed as long as it's vaguely vidya related.
>>315567016
Why not a 144hz display?
Because I'm brazilian and it costs 4000 bananas.
>>315567659
because 144hz is a meme for retards
>>315567841
i thought you homies only had plantains or whatever
>>315567841
How much will selling 4000 bananas get you anyway?
I suspect it might be less than the actual value of a 980ti in brazil
>>315554529
Because I own a 780ti and don't play above 1080p
>>315567016
>60hz
>mechanical storage
>>315566881
>one ref and one evga
what the fuck are you even doing?
Also, I'm not a retard that pays twice the price for 1.5x the performance.
>>315568010
No way, we have all kinds of bananas here.
>>315568029
Yes, one banana doesn't cost R$1.
>>315558837
any reason to get a 980 over a 780ti?
>>315568214
shit my bad, don't send anderson silva over to kick my teeth out
>>315568317
Anderson Silva is gone, he'll never be a good fighter again, don't worry.
>>315568202
He actually bought a 5820 despite the 4790k being better in actual video game related things.
Bought no name RAM and has a 4k with 1080 UW instead of 1440.
He has money but no idea what to actually do with it.
>>315568493
Why is that reason not to worry?
"Don't worry, someone younger and stronger than him will come and get you"
You brazilians and your dark huehue
so happy to be future proof for years to come
>>315568493
it's not his fault his boner pills were actually steroids
ees normal
>>315568506
That's not no name RAM, speccy cant figure out the brand of your RAM, it's having trouble working out what type of RAM it is, i.e. DDR4
>>315568697
2047mb?
what.
hi /g/, rate my $2000 anime box
things to do:
>new PSU
>new hard drive
>new/bigger SSD
>new monitor
>backplate for 980ti
>fan filter for rear intake fan
>LEDs for water block
>>315568506
Judging by his specs he's probably a video/photo editor primarily.
Stop being an idiot.
>>315568836
DDR4 can't have those awful timings.
>>315568918

Video editors don't need sli'd 980ti's.
He literally just bought whatever was most expensive.
And also doesn't even know how to properly sli cards.

Nah, video editors would just dump on the most expensive Imac build.
i seriously regret buying a regular 980...i only play games like 3 hours a month or so. all i do is browse /v/ or watch streams/movies. i wish i bought more HDD instead to download more JAV
>>315569289
You can use GPUs in video decoding and encoding. Adobe products specifically do well with nividia stuff.
Also there's nothing stopping him from also gaming on the machine.
>>315570176
You won't need to replace your GPU until it actually dies though. And you can just invest in a NAS.
>>315570331
A NAS is only a good investment if you have multiple devices you want to have access to the same storage.
To expand the storage of a single device, a NAS is the stupidest choice.
>>315570253
Have fun with mismatched GPUs @ 4k.
>>315570613
God you're retarded.
>>315570587
Nah, running stupid amount of storage off a daily driver is silly.
That's why NAS's were invented.
Also with a NAS you could have a potential wank in the bath or something.
No downsides unlike being tied to your desktop.
>>315570790
???
>>315570176
I did the same except with a 970, the only game that I played was Witcher 3 and my monitor broke four months ago but now I don't even feel like buying another one.

>>315568190
>meme hardware
I'll stick with what I have
>>315571167
Why buy one with that many when a NAS is a better investment anyhow?
>>315570925
Mismatched GPUs can be used for gaming with nivida to a ridiculous degree.
look up "dedicated Physx card" and educate yourself.
On top of that, brand of GPU rarely matters with SLI, you can even SLI a 4gb revision of a card with a 2gb revision, it's just the 4gb card get's locked to 2gb.
>>315554529
This desu imo senpai
>>315571335
It's still a very bad decision, especially using a fucking reference card.
>>315571552
please explain the negative effects of having mismatching brands of the same GPU
>>315571552
The dude can do what he wants.
Might have already had the evga card and the reference card went on sale as they tend to do and decided to add more processing power to his system.
If you put the reference on on the bottom you wont even run into the problem where the intake get's blocked.
You sure are grasping at straws now. What's your next problem, oh computer genius?
>>315571876
Because he's paring an inferior card with a superior card instead of two of the same

>inferiorly cooled card
fix'd, theres literally nothing wrong with using two different cards using the same PCB
Anons, what card should I get to run a Vive once theyre out?
I'm probably looking at getting new everything since everything in my PC is 4 or more years old
>>315572238
Reference cards actually have a pretty neet feature no one seems to acknowledge, they vent heat out the back of the case instead of just blowing it around inside the case, they are a pretty good choice for ultra compact builds because of this.
And i guess you didn't really trying on your next straw, huh? ">b-but sales" is not a really elegant way of disregarding one of the most important things about a product, price.
>>315573382
bought ref 290 specifically for this. Have an NCASE.
My setup is treating me just fine for now but I'm thinking of building a new box once VR starts going retail and the next gen of video cards are available.
>>315575079
The Asrock M8 caught my eye a bit back when it was on sale for around $300 because it came with a surprisingly good motherboard and power supply.
Shipping to my country killed the savings for me though, sadly.
I'd really like a smaller computer though.
>>315554801
>tfw glorious dual 980 SLI master race
Way too much money despite the fact no games need it.
>but I want 4k
Well go for it, I'd rather buy a bunch of other shit instead.
>>315558516
Same here anon-chan, except I have dat 144hz monitor running shit at 120fps when possible and everything else on ultra + 60fps.
Shit is thoroughly good.
