The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

^^ Nice - but those clock speeds aren't they reachable for any "stock" 980Ti ? It sure looks like it from all the reviews I've seen most OC'ed them 250-260MHz on the core.

That memory overclock... I forsee a lot of artifacting cards in a few years.

What ? They overclock it from standard 1753Mhz (*4 = 7010Mhz) to 1803Mhz (* 4 = 7210Mhz). Nothings gonna happen.

Anyone else stupid enough to have upgraded from 980's?

I don't do 4k, but I'm playing ultra wide at 3440x1440 and my 980's hit VRAM limit in GTAV so I fancied a little bit more headroom.

I am stupid!

How many of these are you buying Kaap ? 3 or 4 ? Or are you going to stick with the TX's ?

 

[Doogles]

Looks sexy but going to wait for a die shrink, it feels stupid to pay for a process that has been around since 2012, especially since my R9 290 runs everything I want well.

Anyway to all the owners that are getting one good luck and I hope you win the Silicon lottery, nice to see that Zotac already have one with a 25% overclock.

 

[TGReaper]

Gonna wait until the red team offering is out, you never know they might release a monster.

I am sticking with my old TXs.

When 12gb means 12gb or 3.43 GTX 970s.

But I will get one of these 980 Ti's for some benching fun, it will probably be something like an EVGA Classified or similar.

Just ordered mine last night

Going from a 980 to a 980ti, Why? 1440p. Haha . Cant wait for it to commeee.

I too switched to MSI from EVGA after ordering this afternoon. It seems better in every way - warranty aside.

I sent a webnote last night asking to change from the EVGA aftermarket cooler to the MSI gaming design. Never a fan of the reference cards.

Still no stock it seems for EVGA in the OcUK shop. Chances of getting it before the weekend are having me worried now lol.

Just had a look, seems to have both a better cooler and better clocks. But no actual ETA.

Does anyone know when they will be in stock? If it's tomorrow, I'll likely swap too. As it does seem better. I'm just wanting a reference cooler as it will better compliment my cramped case.

Edit: Note, I do not intend on setting any OC profiles. I always prefer plug and play and silence is my highest importance.

Cancelled mine, gonna wait and see regarding after-market coolers etc. Not like my setup is crappy atm

Stop trying to avoid the inevitable and lying to yourself (it's a crappy system ATM).

You know you want these cards more than anything

Potential noise is putting me off tbh, esp if I get 2.

My current setup is pretty much perfect noise-wise (as in not much of it!!!)




edit - Or I might run all my games in 1440p till Pascal hits. Like I said, cards are pretty much perfect noise/temps wise...

 

[Cocky-Roach]

Ordered a hybrid last night, haven't been into gaming other than a bit of csgo for a while but I'm feeling the itch again and I don't think my 6950 will cut it anymore
