The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

Inno3d Hybrid installed in my ancient CM Stacker 830. The rad mounts nicely on one of the fans in the door for push/pull

Need to mess with fan orientation to improve airflow though.

Hi Tom thanks for the info and pics. Just one question. On Inno3ds site they say this card is a 3 slot card and on caseking.de they claim its a 2 slot card. Which is it, thanks.

Says 3 slot on the Inno homepage...

Standard Graphics Card Dimensions:

Length

Height
115mm
Width
3-slot

Would be interested to see what an actual owner finds.

It's definitely 2 slots, but the spacing would be bloody tight for a second card on my board and you'd lose almost all airflow to the fan on the memory

That's bloomin tight for sli cards. Think I'll have to wait for the evga now. Thanks so much for the pic, much appreciated.

So 3 slots then.

you could get a second card in there, but I probably wouldn't want to do it.

I got my 2 Hybrids in, I had to remove my sound card though as they hang juuuust over 2 slots. Hdmi cap card fits but the back is a lot slimmer.

I'm running 1430mhz on core with 3890something on memory, max temps have been 58 on both cards so far. Asic quality is 68.7 and 68.6 haha. Girlfriends card was 78 but I gave that to her because she's on single GPU.
Very happy! They're ultra quiet.

Does anyone know how to get Furmark to recognise overclocks? The overclock works fine in games but it remains at standard boost during the benchmark.

andybird123 · 4 Aug 2015 at 13:55

Furmark is well known for overheating cards for no good reason... Both NVIDIA and AMD now have driver blocks in place that prevent furmark from properly over stressing the cards, which results in the behaviour you are seeing where the cards refuse to run up to full stress... Use a different tool for stress testing

You...you're...running Furmark!?! :eek:

Just ordered the MSI 6G! I figured the brand reassurance and the fact that I game on a 60hz 1080p monitor that the Amp Extreme just wasn't worth it. The form factor seems much better too.

What would you suggest?

Witcher 3, Dying Light, Battlefield 4 for starters.

I usually use Heaven or Valley as it can be run in a window allowing you to edit overclocks in afterburner while it is running, then stress test with games as they are more likely to fall over than benchmarks

Pulling my hair over here the hof hasn't shipped yet.

What settings are used when Benching with Heaven @ 1080 or 1440 ???

Tom B · 4 Aug 2015 at 17:12

Not sure if this is a linux problem or a hardware problem but my clocks seem awfully high:

1595 max clock doesn't seem right... will try windows later and see if it's the same

Everything maxed out, simple

Including AA8x (and no V-sync of course).
