Great to see everyone getting their cards and feeling certain after the Fury X release. Although I think that Fury X is getting a harder time than it probably deserves...with better drivers and when voltage unlocking, I'm sure it will perform at least as well as the 980ti...Im still all NVidia though as for the me the NVidia eco-system (gsync, driver support, NV Works) is what pulls me into the green camp.

Finding it hard to see everyone break out the benchmarks and pictures of their cards in their builds when I'm still waiting on my card that I pre-ordered on Day 1, 3 hours after launch at launch price...

This EVGA 980ti Hybrid better be worth it...latest date is up to July 3rd...didn't expect EVGA to sell vaporware. If you have it for pre-sale, ensure you have the ability to deliver on that please...

I think the Fury has done its job of letting Nvidia up their game and drop prices. I read further price drops may be coming but i would take that big bowl of salt...until it happens

I haven't tried to play Arkham Knight yet but the recent news makes me wish the witcher 3 promotion was still on when I bought my Ti, would rather have that then Batman.

Just been on the radio all sales of Batman Arkham Knight have been suspended. So that free game is, well, disappearing, not worth the code ?? :o

What have you guys been clocking your reference cards to, and at what fan speed?

Is the nVidia reference cooler considered to be quieter than the Radeon R9 290 reference cooler when the fan speed is cranked up? The review at Anandtech seems to suggest not :(

1489mhz at the moment fastest I can get it stock volts. Anymore and 3dmark11/3dmark and Heaven crash. 68c with the Evga Hybrid cooler. With Dying Light and AC Rogue maxing at 55c. Fan on radiator only doing 800rpm virtually silent.

Hi all.

I'm going to fit an EK Thermosphere to my 980 Ti and I'm going to add heat sinks to the VRMs - just wanted to check they are what I think they are - i.e. the components circled in red:-

GTX-980-Ti-reference-PCB_84390_zpsjcftcrsf.jpg


Anyhing else apart from the ram and VRMs worth adding a passive sink to?
 
Question for who has the Inno3d X3 Ultra: I've read there is a second bios already saved on the card, how do I use it? Right now Afterburner limits the card to 107% power limit and I can't get to 1500mhz without crashing after a few seconds.
 
Inno3D GeForce GTX 980Ti X3 Ultra Sli x2

im getting stable 1455mhz in games

don't know if they will go higher , will have to check them separate.

i didnt know they had a second bios
 
1450 stock volts, fan isn't breaking a sweat at 75c
that means u got a good lottery silicon.

Sorry I know this is a silly questiion but can i ask doesnt 75 degree heat up the room in which your gaming in as it seems quite hot.


I think those that got a bad lottery silicon arent posting

i use evga precision to overclock.

your default or base clock is what you are guaranteed to get in games , the boost clock is what you could get if you keep under the thermal throttle/ voltage limits .

when over clocking with precision x you are adding a offset to the base and boost clock. ie +110 mhz .

keep in mind gpu boost 2.0 will push the card over your stated boost clock depending on temp and voltage . ie mine ran at 1345 out of the box.

you need to do the middle four too. Rule of thumb is look where the original cooler touches the board heatsink wise then this is the place you need to cool the most.

All those crazy people with money burning in their pockets who waited for the Fury release.
Those nasty nasty 980ti bargains you temptress. Just trying to figure out if I can wangle another £509 for SLI.
