What puts the G1 above the AMP Extreme?
Click to expand...

Custom PCB, cooling design and aesthetics, I fine the look of the G1 better than the others and the Gigabyte brand would edge it for me. Personal preference.

It's def my fav pick from all the 980 Ti's so far.

Tbh all the 980 Ti's are great performers. But the ref card does run loud / hot. So out of the custom cards G1 would be my pick. The MSI looks good, actually PALIT have released a 980 Ti Super Jetstream that actually looks really nice but there aren't any reviews yet. Here >>>

It's much cheaper than other custom cooled 980 Ti's as well.

So yeah they are all good, but the G1 would be my pick. I mean look at it :D

Can't Afterburner allow you to set your own fan settings anyway?

yea heres mines and follow the yellow arrows to find the setting

changed mine so the card has slight fan at low temps and idles around 20c cooler than default.

I cant hear the fan above my case fans until it hits around 70 anyway

By default my card tries to maintain 83c and once it hits this temp gpuboost 2.0 stops ocing the card further to keep the temp stable

you can change the desired target temp to change the gpu boost behaviour but I can't remember where the setting was, must be in after burner somewhere since the nvidia gpu boost page says to change it via a third party app and I definitely came across the setting at some point the other day

cards limit is around 92c though so I can't see the point in altering the target temp unless it's to go lower so gpu boost won't oc your card as much and the core temp will be cooler

The G1 was the first custom PCB card on the market so it generated a bit of interest, but I mean, cmon, it has three 75mm fans where as most of the other custom cards have three 90mm or the MSI has two 100mm fans

Most of the reviews for the g1 say it has an annoying drone above 60-65% where as the msi gaming does about 80% before you can even really hear it and its not at all annoying even at 100%

Mine does 1535 on stock voltage

They're both custom PCB but the AMP has better temps, noise, factory OC and price. So is it completely based on brand and aesthetics?

I got an evga hybrid from OCUK last Wednesday and installed it yesterday. I had a problem when I tried to power on after the initial install, the mobo speaker gave one long beep followed by three short beeps, (it's an Asus P9X79 mobo for anyone wondering). Anyway I had to remove the 980ti, install one the the old graphics cards and update the mobo bios.

Hope this helps anyone else having issues when installing this great bit of kit.

I will post some pics I took when I work out how. Last time I tried I got a blank browser window:confused:

Also, a big thank you to the OCUK team, great communication and customer service
 
It was a gtx 760 and gtx 670. I think the bigger problem was the bios version of the mobo, I was on 0906 and the latest version was 14 something. I'm just happy that I got it sorted

I don't have powerlimit on my AB, is it a hidden setting somewhere?

Ah I didn't know this, which Zotac card are you referring to. Have you got a link to card, reviews?

I'm weighing up my options atm as waiting for Fury X RMA to complete.

Thinking about picking up a Titan X from MM or a brand new 980 Ti. If the Zotac card is as good as you say I'll def look into it.
