So we have a bunch of great technologies which a lot of us cannot use to our advantage, because Nvidia are taking their sweet time in getting working in some of our Setups.

DSR,MFAA,Gsync as a example please remind me if theirs more

we have been waiting since 980s release for these & lot of us still not got what we payed for. YEs we have great cards but we pay for the tech to :(

Single Card:
DSR Works
MFAA works
Gsync Works
DSR + MFAA + Gsync Works?

SLI
MFAA = No No No.
DSR = Sure..... if no gsync monitor is connected to your PC!
Gsync = Works
DSR + Gsync = NO...


the Dream DSR + MFAA + Gsync = Win!...

anyone else getting bored we are still waiting or even thinking twice of buying Nvidia next round?

No. I buy graphics cards to play games, as long as said games load and run at reasonable frames I couldn't care less. I don't buy because of tech on a card I buy the card which will run my game the fastest at the settings I like within my budget.

DSR don't care
MFAA don't care
Gsync don't care

Same as this really.. although I have heard nothing but good things about gsync, especially on the swift rog monitor , will definitely be looking at that when I upgrade after the new cards release at end of summer :)
 
The only thing that slightly interests me is G sync, but it costs so much that I would rather invest in my GPU.

I personally find DSR offers no benefits, drawbacks are framerate and tiny UI.

MFAA is n/a as have a kepler card.

It helps that I don't use SLI. Seems to be more effort than it's worth.
 
You shouldn't really need MFAA with SLI, it's whole purpose is to help single cards give better image quality with less of a performance hit.

If you're getting bored, buy AMD.
 
why is everyone reaction Buy the opposite team GPU?
can we no longer discuss issues & show the bad things of "XY" company now?
the only way to improve things is show/discuss issues we are concerned about.

Well from my view, if you are that bored it means you have been for a while, and also bored enough to write a thread about it. Then why not relieve that boredom and buy another manufacturer ? Better still, play some games ?

Gsync is a total revolution. Fact. It's very easy to dismiss things you haven't tried.

SLI is the only one that has me in two minds. Games like Dragon Age Inquisition and Crysis run great, but then GTA 5 and Dying Light don't and I'm like :mad:

When it works it's fantastic, but when it doesn't I just feel totally ripped off. The thing is, I'd rather sell one 980 and run with a single 980 as opposed to selling the two of them for Titan X.

gta runs pretty well, but sure some games dont :(

But for lambchops, even if i wanted AMD i couldnt get one at the moment.

Im moving to Linux Full time Soon Their OpenGL support on UNIX is terrible...
750ti beats a 290 on Bioshock...

String - I only got GTA 5 set up yesterday. As usual I've been doing various SLI stutter tests. At first I was really annoyed as there was very apparent microstutter and judder when running SLI (but fine on one 780Ti).

Here's my findings so far:

Early testing on first getting game:

- Any sort of MSAA applied causes stutter with SLI. Even if only 2x MSAA, which is well within specs, and my Vram is not being over used (using 2.5GB max, monitoring it).

- Just using FXAA on its own is very smooth with SLI (but has slight blurring to the whole image as usual. I don't like FXAA)

- Using SweetFX SMAA, slight lumasharpen and a touch of liftgammagain ans subtle curve tweaks, NO MSAA in game and - Boom! All is Great with SLI :)

- If using a 120Hz monitor, and you have Gsync - Set the refresh rate to 85hz in game. Stops the frame rate jumping around so much, and it is totally smooth as silk!!!!!!!!!!
This is testing in the first area once you're into the game - outside Franklin's house etc. Need to test other areas but so far I have fixed my SLI stutter for now!
