This is what I'm waiting for but I already have a gsync monitor. Unless I replace both, which I'm not too keen on going, it'll probably be a new nvidia gpu.

That'll be fine.
I used some ancient zaward stuff I found in a box in my garage, so it can't be worse than that. As long as it isn't conductive you're grand
Soldato
So what have you 980Ti owners upgrade too?
Out of interest at this point in time

I think if things you play mostly run fine, then waiting for 3xxx series seems sensible with the rumoured big jump in performance
Soldato
They absolutely do. I'm still pulling 90fps+ on my 1440p gsync monitor so can't complain in the slightest to be honest.
Yeah man, I was thinking that I've never owned a gpu long enough that it was worth repasting it. I think I would have upgraded long ago just because of the itch if I could have had something worthwhile for less than £400, but those days are just long gone. So now I just have to wait for the £1k gpus to become £700 when the new £1300 gpus come out.

Haha, that was my thinking as well. Grab a 2080ti bargain

So I found my previous overclock and just re-applied it. This is 2 hours of Destiny 2 so far...max 55c on an AIO
Running 2 x 980ti poseidon's on water in sli and tbh sli is dead but still runs the games i play just fine. Waiting to see what 2020 brings as i can't see myself forking out stupid money for a 2080ti.... hopefully 2020 will be more interesting and prices come down abit... there's hoping.

Still rocking my GTX980ti. Bought it for like £350 new as couldn't justify buying the GTX1080 for what i thought was only slightly more performance for much higher cost. When the GTX1080ti came out i was tempted to get it but my GTX980ti held up well so i thought id wait for the RTX2080ti to come out at like £700 and then buy a reduced priced GTX1080ti for a similar £350-£400. Epic fail!
Refuse to pay the silly prices nvidia charging out of principal. Im not sure when ill get a chance to upgrade now given nvidia ridiculous pricing scheme now.

I think this is the problem for a lot of people to be honest
I suppose the 1080ti is a good option with it being around twice as fast... but prices for those are still a little expensive. Averaging around £400+ for a secondhand card?
Does adjusting voltage even do anything for these cards or is it just best to crank up the power limit and let the card add voltage for what it needs?So I found my previous overclock and just re-applied it. This is 2 hours of Destiny 2 so far...max 55c on an AIO
Soldato
I just cranked the power limit, didn't touch the voltage at all. I'm not sure what difference it would actually make to be honest but given my temps, probably won't find out.
Soldato
This has been on my mind for ages to be honest, what's the rest of your spec?
Might give it another bash tonight. Did a tiny overclock last night just to test by cranking the core by +20 and memory by +200 and i gained around 6-7fps. No voltage change, just cranked up the power limit and temp max. Temps settled around 48c so plenty of headroom there.
