Well I've changed to 2 kfa hof 980s from 2 G1 970s and there is a real difference in performance and the stuttering / hitching is non existent anymore.

Can now play Arma 3 MP at 4k with no problems :D

Dying light which wasn't too bad on 970s till you got attacked or looked around fast which made it stutter/hitch is no longer there for me :D

ive had a chance to try dying light on both 970's and 290 xfire, gameplay was much more smoother on the 290's but graphics looked better on the 970's, why i dont know as every other game looks the same image wise
 
"I was there during some of OcUK's darker times where admittedly service was a bit hit or miss, amazing or terrible."


My experience of customer service of late is that its first class, best out of all the U.K. online stores I use (or used, I prefer to use O.C.U.K exclusively now).

Having confidence in who you buy from is important.

I don't think I will be buying from Nvidia for sometime, I did have an order in for a 970, but fortunately able to switch to something else. The Green team have treated both punters and retailers with some contempt on this one I feel.
 
ive become a gibbo groupie, i shopped at the last place he worked and used to do some great deals on his amd cards and when he left it went down hill so ive followed him here:D

That's because it's an Nvidia gameworks title and some of the graphical options are specific to Nvidia.

Plus like the ****take video was saying people are rewarding Nvidia more by swapping gtx970 cards for gtx980 cards. Personally,I would have just turned a setting down.

Looks like Apple is a good teacher.LOL.

Your talking about the master race. Turning a setting down is not an option for most. Tbh I can't talk it was only around 7 years ago I was the same.

So basically PC owners have no right to make digs at Apple owners anymore. Its ridiculous - a company screws up and people give them MORE money.

But thanks to such people companies like Nvidia will free to screw over people when they feel like since they know it won't affect them.

Just look at Apple and how many products with dodgy QC and design issues they released like the bendy I phones,special touch I phones and overheating I products with dodgy GPUs. They still can do no wrong and you still get plenty of iFans saying non-apple phones and computers are unreliable.
Weak willed consumers who only serve to help CEOs get another fancy sports car and millions in bonuses while emptying their own wallets. That BBC documentary seems to be right.

Cheers m8!

I take pride in what I do, so to me a job aint just a job, it is about doing the absolute best you can and really taking care and pride in what you do.

Thanks for following me here, they were a great company to work for, but it had nowhere near the excitement of OcUK. :)

Having issues with my refunds. I've only been refunded for 1 card, and for what appears to be the current website price, and not the price I paid...

Drop a post in CS and Bailey will look into and sort, but you will be refunded what you paid, so a mistake, they will resolve it for you. :)
