First was a Inno X3, went back due to coil whine.
Amp Extreme was fine, but when I contacted Zotac to get the right backplate (they advertise the "Push the Limit", but most cards have a blank one), they told me there was nothing they could do. Minor thing, I know, but If I spend 600£ I want everything I paid for, so it was mostly me being disappointed at Zotac.

Fair enough, I can understand that.

Minarva, rolypolyman and goblinking - do you guys have any more info on how the inno3d hybrid is performing for you?

Superpatsy · 31 Jul 2015 at 14:09

Just had a text saying it's been delivered and I'm in the middle of a bloody field picking strawberries with my girlfriend! :mad:

Hi,sorry its the Air Boss UltraX4 I have not the hybrid. I am delighted with it. Very cool and quiet, idles 26c, 4K far cry 57c, boosts to 1366mhz and 7200 on memory, don't need to over clock this beast, but I will try it over the weekend though.

Is the AMP Extreme particularly big in width? I had an MSI 970 and the power cables would press against the side panel

It is 133.1mm wide: http://www.zotac.com/fileadmin/Redakteure/Products/Pdf/ZT-90505-10P-GTX980TiAMP_Extreme_v2.pdf (For some reason Zotac treads width as height on their specifications.)

Might have a weird fan issue with my ti ffs, seems like it gets to around 65% then some odd droning kind of up\down sort of noise kicks in with it. Turned off every other fan with my fan controler and sure enough its the card making the sound. =/

Twirlywoos · 31 Jul 2015 at 15:29

Normally I post in this section either to:

a) Troll

b) Have a problem and need help with
c) Find out any latest developments

However, today I shall add a 4th category and that's just to update that I am extremely satisfied with the ti and H55 setup. Chews through all games I've thrown at it so far at 1080p and allows me to add some super sampling and Fully Ultra Max out games whilst retaining high frame rates. System is quiet whilst gaming and the AIO gives decent temps so no throttling takes place.

After waiting a few weeks for the HoF finally decided to just pull the trigger and pick up the MSI. Currently on a 980 at the moment and it is so very quiet.

Joe! · 31 Jul 2015 at 16:05

Gerard's post above is the only post I have seen with a problem against the 6G, it seems a very very good card that a lot of people are happy with, I don't think you have made a bad choice at all.

I'm glad I got the G1, I don't particularly want red in my build else I would've bought the 6G myself.

Pulled the trigger right when the HoF became available (cards bought on Friday are likely to arrive on Tuesday) ?

Superpatsy · 31 Jul 2015 at 16:53

I have it!

Hopefully get some pictures of it inside the case when I get around to it!

Now does anyone have an idiots guide for Nvidia drivers/software? Got the most recent ones installed. First time on the green team!

Everything seems great to be honest. No problems with it. My maximum clocks seem to be about 1540/8500 boosted, but I'm running 1510/8200 as a 24/7 clock (I notice after long valley runs crashes happen at the higher core). Overvolting seems impossible, even adding +6mV causes instability. When benching at my 24/7 clock the absolute peak is 65-66degrees but averages in the high 50s/60. Noise is unnoticeable and overall very happy. I've been busy working so not had a chance to play outside of benches, I look forward to giving the witcher 3 a go on Sunday!

Download display driver uninstaller from guru3d and the latest nvidia driver from guru3d as well. Run ddu and go into safe mode, it should start up again automatically when you boot into safe mode, uninstall all driver software with it and restart, then install the nvidia driver. Sounds complicated but it's so simple.

Did all that earlier. It's more to do with the software itself.
