I ordered mine 9 minutes after they went on sale, I was told I was "high" up the list. But another OCUK staff member just confirmed I'm actually 50th for some reason. Not happy about that as mine should have been dispatched today if they had 20 (unless 19 people ordered in the 9 minutes before me lol)

Which version did you order? Because I ordered the EVGA yesterday and I am 40 in the queue.

Entirely contradicts my experience after having played about 4 hours of the Witcher 3 yesterday with GPUz monitoring both GPUs.

Both stayed at 1290Mhz the entire time, max temps of 84degrees inside an NZXT H440 chassis

84 degrees is still a little too hot for my tastes. My 970 with a third party cooler runs Witcher 3 on ultimate at 70c max

If it's within specs and doesn't throttle inside my chassis I don't care. My old 4870X2 and GTX 580's ran hotter.

They get work done in Adobe Premiere and can play anything I want while not sounding like hair dryers.

They're blowing all the air outside the chassis, which is better for the rest of the system. Especially the H440, which is not the best for air flow already.

Also a 970 running the witcher at full ultra? At what resolution? 900p?

Hi, probably stupid question, but how many monitors can a 980TI support? I have a Dell U2715H, which is 2560*1440. Im looking at going multi-monitor (all of the same U2715) , either 2 or 3 (start at 2, see how much i like a (thin) bezel in the middle), which would be i guess 5120*1440 or 7680*1440. The 980TI has more than 3 outputs, but Nvidia website says it can support 5120*3200, does this mean to use 3*U2715H at full res, I need to go SLI to support them? Trying to avoid dual cards if possible as have had nothing but trouble with SLI on a bunch of games

I did yeah, though I have heard many have. The most popular choice.

I just called them. So much confusion!

Basically because I paid via Amazon the payment was only taken out today, therefore I was never "high" on the queue, I wasn't even actually in the queue at all. But now the payment has gone through I'm currently 50th in the queue right now.

They also said they only had 5 EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti Superclocked ACX 2.0 cards come into today, so not sure where the 15/20 value has come from.

They placed an order of 100 from EVGA so 95 are due to come in over the next few weeks. The guy said they don't actually know when the cards are coming in or how many come in that delivery, it's all a random game, which doesn't make any sense.
