Going green (Nvidia) advice please?

[Footyslayer]

Hi everyone,

due to my 7990 seemingly degrading over the last few months and the fact it is in for RMA currently I decided to pick up a new card (well from the members market), for the first time in my PC gaming life I have gone green!

I have picked up an inno3D GeForce GTX 780Ti iChill DHS..

However as an NVIDIA n00b can anyone tell me anything I should do or install to help? I have already DDU'd the old AMD drivers, I have the latest NVIDIA drivers ready to be installed once the card arrives.

I used MSI afterburner with the 7990, can I still use this for the 780TI? Any overclocking or 780TI threads kicking about that are worth reading?

Many thanks for any forthcoming help

Delete your AMD data in AB before launching by going to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\Profiles

That's all on the AB end.

Yeah afterburner works on Nvidia GPUs too. Pop the card in, install the drivers, move some sliders in MSI AB and enjoy

Cheers for the advice, just done that

So overclocking wise it's pretty much the same procedure? Push core, push memory, find magic stable settings and leave it there?

I have to say for nvidia, I prefer EVGA precision - don't know why but just seems to work better for me. Just my £0.02

Also, just use DDU to remove all drivers before installing the nvidia ones - much easier.

Yeah, I think there's some slight voltage changes you can make on the 780Ti too but I could be wrong on that. Outside of that it's power limit/mem/core clocks
