Has anyone received a standard reference EVGA card, literally total silence from OCuk on these. ETA is today but nobody can tell me anything...?

Getting on my nerves a little bit now.

Call our sales/CS and tell them Gibbo authorised them to change your backorder to the SC reference for no additional charge whilst we still have stock of the SC version, about 47 units left at moment, but 14 today sold so far, so please ring them today to arrange.

Gibbo, i've spoken to the sales team/guys on livechat a few times over the past couple of weeks and just wanted to say they have done an excellent job and always been very helpful.

Because it was not originally part of the promo as was not advertised as such when you placed the order.

However, contact our CS/Sales they should be able to sort you a code, just might take a few days as codes are on an automated electronic system.

Gibbo, thanks. I was starting to wonder if EVGA was just one that was being blanked.

I talked to Rich on the phone and he was a top bloke.

OCuk customer service is spot on.

Cheers lads.

Yes EVGA bridge are lovely.

Just buying ROG bridges now, but they cost twice the amount, big ROG tax going down I think.

Any chance you could wrangle NVIDIA for some of their bridges?

I really want one, but ebay is hell.

Hi guys,

Just put my 2x980 Ti's in my rig and ran a few benches/checked up on it in CPU-Z. Is it supposed to be reporting only having 4095MB of memory?

Nope, are you sure you have Ti's?

I noticed VRAM reporting seems very inconsistent. In GPU-Z it shows correctly as 6144MB (check you have the newest version of GPU-Z), in Heaven benchmark it shows as ~4095MB, in Windows device manager it shows as ~2048MB.

I don't know if this is a bug or a driver issue or something, or software compatibility issue.

I've only been benching so far, I will need to do some more gaming to push the VRAM usage and check.

try checking gpu-z?

RS123 · 19 Jun 2015 at 13:35

GPU-Z reports the correct 6144MB of memory. Must be some sort of incompatibility with CPU-Z and Unigine Heaven, I guess? I was slightly worried, and then I checked some Google videos and benchmark pictures of other people with 980 Ti's and saw the same was happening to them and felt a bit better.

Thank you for your help.

Oh yeah, heaven is rubbish, don't believe anything you see inside heaven other than fps

badbiddy · 19 Jun 2015 at 13:39

Gigabyte G1 or EVGA Reference?

I like the look of the reference cooler and the lit up GEFORCE more than the windforce design, but is the G1 the superior design?

KillBoY_UK · 19 Jun 2015 at 13:42

stock seems to be a little better now but till waiting for a hybird or 2, it be sods law that if I switched now they would come in lol

GoblinKingUK · 19 Jun 2015 at 13:50

Hey guys,

Got a quick question.. was waiting for the EVGA Hybrids as i'm gonna be going SLI but from what i'm reading would I get better overall performance with the G1? will the G1 overclock better than the EVGA hybrid?
I was looking forward to the idea of watercooled GPUs to help with heat (currently have Windforce 780s, at full load gaming top car can hit 86 - 88 degrees) but ill put up with the heat and noise for performance any day.

Cheers for your help,
