**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

That's the danger with high hz gaming. Once you've experience it it's really hard to go back, so you have to keep chucking money at new GPUs to keep up with new games.

Also BISHI- I see you run 780 SLI? I currently run 780ti SLI. Are you using Gsync too with the witcher 3?
This is another game that does not work properly with SLI and Gsync for me. The ONLY fix I have for smooth stutter free gameplay is to set the rog swift manually to 60hz, and use a third party frame rate limiter set to 59. If I have the swift set to any higher hz, it just judders. Single card is fine,and Gsync does its thing well, but my frames are only in the 40s, and motion blur is a killer, as mentioned above.

In SLI, With the 60hz, 59fps limited trick it's super smooth most of the time, except when I go near camp fires or areas with lots of people the frames go into low 50s and it stutters a bit, like Gsync isn't on at all.

Interesting, I run every game in GSYNC. I limit my frames to 135 normally (to remove any input lag) but obviously Witcher 3 doesn't get this high. I turn off blur and dof in game but I haven't been getting any stutter anyway

It's mostly down to frame time variance, and some people are far more sensitive to it that others.
For some on the NVIDIA forums they claim the game is unplayable.

My only issue with the game is gameworks murdering performance, and that the latest DLC patch has started giving me random crashes to desktops.

I have to say though, after have 3 weeks of a 1920x1200 monitor without G-Sync monitor being able to use it again is a godsent. I can't handle playing without it anymore.
 
It depends on what I own really. I did get Batman Arkham Knight with my cards, but that's not out yet.

Have a look through here, and see if there's anything I own you want me to have a go at. I play everything with Dxtory open to keep an eye on FPS

Ryse: Son of Rome
Total War: SHOGUN 2
Metro: Last Light
Thief
Tomb Raider

Whatever you feel like doing out of those. Some of them are hard to run at MAX settings. I play at 3440x1440 so it would be about 15-20 FPS lower than what your getting.

Cool, I'll have a look.

Also Maximum PC's SLI 980Ti review is up.
Seems to already cover most of the games you want looked at. :D

I love seeing these types of things on this forum so refreshing to see compared with the bitching A v N threads

PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE :cool::);)
 
Sitting here with 3 different seller windows open now, waiting for them to get stock in. I'd obviously rather stick with OCUK but realistically it'll need to be in before 4.30 to get saturday delivery

Same except I've got about 5 open, as long as the brand is fine with me removing the stock cooler I don't care where I get it from now - just want it for tomorrow..
 
Not much noise out of those at all it seems like. :)

Not much at all. 1-1 they're about the same as a dust covered GTX 580 with just a smidgen louder.

When idle for an hour or so on the desktop, not rendering or gaming my Corsair H110GT cpu cooler is actually louder.

It is all lots of fun as well. :)
 
I asked in the order queries (support forum) and gave my order number for when can we expect the cards coming in and when to expect them to be shipped out, I was hoping for some news that we could get them by this weekend.

I was basically told that there is not date available yet and for me to bump my question in the thread and ask again early next week, they will update the ETA once anything changes. So pretty much looks like the weekend is out of the question.

Not a happy bunny :(

This makes me worry that they might not even have them early next week. I think I might switch my order to another retailer who actually has an ETA.
 
OK I just spoke with a competitor in regards to their stock for the SC ACX's. They have 5 coming in today and a queue of 70+. They don't know when the rest of them are coming in. They couldn't even confirm it was next week.

It seems as though everyone is in the same boat. But there is some serious fail between our stores and the manufacturers. If you've already ordered it's probably best to keep with it unless your happy to settle with another brand.

Either something went totally wrong with the suppliers, a mess up with the orders or the original ETA for the 03/06/2015 was very misleading indeed, hundreds of people bought pretty much straight away when the cards were listed, but more so I bet because the ETA was put in there, it gave us all false hope, I actually feel like an idiot for buying so quick from here, maybe I should have waited a little and looked elsewhere, I will remember this next time before rushing into an highly anticipated hardware part from OCUK, and a free packet of haribos wont make it all right.

Im also not very hopeful of early next week, I wouldnt be suprised if stock isnt in until Thursday/Friday next week, and then if there are a high volume of orders the chances of each of us getting it shipped immediately are probablly less likely, some might have a longer wait than others :o

Why should you feel like an idiot for thinking your item would come in on the ETA shown? The sales person for the competitor told me that 'this usually happens with new graphics cards'. But then that begs the question - why the **** are you showing an ETA so soon?

Now up until today this particular competitor had an ETA of 8/6/15, but today they changed in to 'item due today'. Why would they do that if they have a backlog of 70 orders? Because they are technically getting in 5 today.

In other words, these guys are being deliberately misleading. It's a disgrace.
 
An ETA is only an estimate.

It will have been based on what they were told by their supplier.

I want my nice shiny new card as much as the next person, but they can't get them any sooner than when they receive them from the card suppliers.

At least OCUK, is giving us the opportunity of getting in the queue for certain cards that don't even appear on other sites.

It is like this with many hardware launches, especially when NVIDIA marketing and pricing strategy has outed a near Titan X card for 2/3rds the price and we all want one :)

Oh get real. When a customer sees an ETA. They think, and rightly so, that that's the date they can expect to have the card (or the day after).

What's happening right now is stores are misleading customers.
