Sold my 2x980's and bought a Zotac Amp Extreme, Its Huge!!
Copied the Guru 3d review overclock settings
Temp Target 85 Degrees C
CPU clock +75 MHz
Mem clock +400 MHz
Voltage + 87Mv
FAN RPM 60%
It boosts to 1525 core / 4010 mem It never gets above 62 degrees at full load.
Tested Assassins creed, Witcher 3, GTA V and Battlefront all on ultra and they are so much smoother.
Very happy!

You think sli support is gash ? i'm sorry my friend but i dont agree. I've been sli for a few years and yes there are a few games that dont support it but they are always gash games anyway imho. I've gotta go sli using 1440p 144mhz gsync monitor, especially because im one of those that likes all the eye candy turned up

agreed there is the odd game that doesnt support it but 99% of games i play runs well with high optimisation. Most games are near dammit double performance.

It all comes down to expectations. I find SLI set ups expensive and frustrating. The difference between SLI and single card can be summed up in one sentence:

A single card is guaranteed to be 100% compatible with every game.

:cool:

Is it normal for a card to sit at it's non-boost clock when idle if you change to power management to maximum performance when using a 1440p monitor?

Yes it is normal as its forcing max performance via the software, as you mentioned.

Change this power to adaptive and the clocks will drop right back until its needed, ie games/browsing heavier webpages etc.

While this is true there are very few games released that are not compatible with sli, the last one i can remember was the latest wolfenstein and tbh i didnt like it very much anyway and also fallout 4 which for me personally was a huge disappointment on the eye candy part. Ah well each to their own of course you could always try crossfire

. Sounds like you have had a bad experience at some stage which might have been a good few years ago maybe ? I'm grateful i've had no issues along the way although i must add when i had 2 1st gen titans in sli they did get a tad hot. I couldnt be happier with these Msi cards in sli, the top one never goes above 55 degrees and everything runs as smooth as can be.

Ok, thanks. I take it, it's ok for a card to run in this state in idle or would you recommend changing the Power Management to Adaptive?

Is there any really gain having it set to Maximum Performance?

In most things no not really unless there's some bug that makes your clocks fluctuate or some such thing having it at max performance just makes more unnecessary heat and power draw when doing nothing, Clocks will ramp up when in a 3D application though don't worry

Altikriti · 13 Dec 2015 at 14:52

Anyone running the ASUS ROG 980 GTX TI Matrix Platinum? Worth getting another one to run in sli? I have seen the OD3D review maybe an overkill.

Anyone running the ASUS ROG 980 GTX TI Matrix Platinum? Worth getting another one to run in sli? I have seen the OD3D review maybe an overkill.

These are very big cards that dump all their heat into your case so very good air flow is a must.

Yaayuh! · 14 Dec 2015 at 08:51

Think my 980Ti is going to go at some point. I'm getting the odd red artifacts now and then, stock clocks (1920x1080 on a 980Ti

) on Youtube videos, fallout 4 and sometimes even websites. I barely notice them there's so few and not all the time.

Not sure there's anything i can do. I tried, new drivers but TNA. Any ideas?

Kaapstad I have been meaning to post a few pictures of my new build just finished a few weeks ago

Can you add me please.

So I currently have a "Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7970 GHZ OC 6GB" (link: http://www.amazon.com/sapphire-dl-dvi-i-sl-dvi-d-pci-express-11197-05-40g)
And I was wondering if it would be a worthwhile upgrade to a 980 ti? Comparing the specs my current card appears to be on top but all the real world benchmarks put the 980 ahead so it's a bit conflicting.

980Ti annihilates a 7970. It would be a nice upgrade. A 7970 GHz edition is about on par with a GTX770.

Thanks, good to know! Do you think it would be worthwhile waiting ~6 months for pascal or just drop the cash on 980ti now?

MooMoo444 · 14 Dec 2015 at 13:37

6 months is a long time, I'd just buy now. First releases of Pascal are going to be the mid range so it won't be that much stronger.

Spec wise and performance wise the 980 Ti destroys the 7970 in every single way, Buries it, Pees on the grave, Goes to it's house, Puts the kids up for adoption and sells the house.

Basically you'll be getting a HUGE MAHOOSIVE TITANIC performance boost by getting the 980 Ti.

Eh? Like what?

GAM8LE · 14 Dec 2015 at 15:22

Definitely think a second card is on the xmas list to myself.

Will grab another reference to force myself into putting them under water at some point
