I think the drivers I had are older ones that don't support the Ti. Only using onboard gpu at the moment.

Skynet5 · 27 Jun 2015 at 12:55

was was the first supporting ti driver?

We have your parcel, and it's on its way to our Appleton depot
Your estimated delivery date is Saturday 27 June 2015

That estimate better be accurate!

Skynet5 · 27 Jun 2015 at 12:56

I was on 352.86...so i guess that didnt support 980ti..so that might have been part of the problem.

gonna game for a bit on bf4 now and see what happens.

already ran it for a bit and its pretty impressive!

I think the first drivers supporting it were 353.xx i know it was around the same time as heroes of the storm optimised drivers

31st of may if i remember rightly but am out and about at the mo

so my msi gaming is boosting to about 1370+ and temps hover around 71, max was 72.

Is this good for out of the box?

Skynet5 · 27 Jun 2015 at 13:33

I think my temps of the CPU are higher with the msi gaming. When I game they hover around 61 on the old blowers...with this card they are up to 70!

So turns out my card was knackered. Just had the lovely chaps at O.C. test it and confirm it.

Got one of these plugged in and working fine now

Non ref cards will up cpu temps a bit. Found this with wf 780 sli. 72c on the msi is good, going by reviews its pretty much round this area. Nice boost speed too.

suprised it was agood 7 degrees.

Thought I might have damaged the cpu cooler (AIO) during the card swap..but i guess Id be seeing much higher temps if I hard knocked it and caused damage.

When I had the 780 setup, if I ran games without an fps limit. CPU temps got as high as 75c. With a limit of 60 set, cpu temps no higher than 65c. Also the gpu's ran in the mid 40's as opposed to 76 and 65c. CPU is clocked at 4.7ghz on air cooling on 1.300v.

I would have thought the opposite, what makes non ref cards do this? In my experience with AMD the reference ones were like ovens!

non ref seem to dump heat out the side of the cards, and therefore into the case.

ref blowers dump the heat out of the back of panel of the gfx card.

I expected trhe temps to increase...but not by so much!

Non ref cards dump hot air into the case. Whereas a reference blower expels it via the pcie slot. An aftermarket cooled card will always run cooler than a reference model due to more fans but you do need much better case cooling to deal with the heat they add into the case. In my situation it was made worse by having two non ref cards.

One of the threads around the core on my block is stripped, great!.

Skynet5 · 27 Jun 2015 at 14:06

project cars results are in.
Everything maxxed although only MSAA enabled, with rain enabled and I hit 73c with a boost of 1330. fps was around 80-90fps.

card is promising. plus no crashes yet using the latest released version.

not sure why it didnt boost to 1370 like it did in bf4. will try some mild OC later.

Any overclocking yet? Getting the same card on Monday.
