I'd like to play something in those possible weeks

Maybe a cheap 970 over Prime Day will suffice.

Why not get a 7950 or something like that? They are going for like £60 in MM.

Joe! · 13 Jul 2015 at 23:23

What's MM?

Members Market. You get it once you reach 1000 posts

It's a magical place of cheap PC parts from trusted people.

Only 934 to go then!

Finally got my EVGA references into the 900D, the case is awesome. The cards are seriously noisy compared to my old MSI 980TI's. Heat coming out the back of the case is unreal, might have to hang some marshmellows behind it lol. Cant wait to watercool them

Well, reference will almost always be louder, and the amount of heat coming off them won't change, its just how fast that heat is moved from the gpu that changes.

Tell me about it, when my PC is out during 'testing mode' the back of the case is pointing towards my leg - it's like having a little heater!.

Anyone have a link to a decent modded bios for the EVGA 980Ti SC?

cant seem to find many, thanks.

Would an evga g2 750w psu be enough for 2 of these if I wanted to go that way in the future?

Mightyashy · 14 Jul 2015 at 12:14

finally managed to have a bit of a blast with the G1. After switching from 780ti SLI there is a huge difference in Shadow of Mordor at 1440p. Its wonderfully smooth. very happy with the swap :cool:

tyler_jrb · 14 Jul 2015 at 12:20

put the SC 1.281mv bios on and it runs great gone from +160 core clock at (1350mhz reported from GPU-z) to 1450mhz or from +160 to +260

. Not for air though just left on stock settings again now.

Wouldnt go to 1281mv though only 1.274mv i noticed.

Still cant wait for these waterblocks

I switched from 980SLi and even I can tell a difference. Higher minimums (and generally a more evenness) are making up for the superior highs of the SLi rig

My chip won't go above 1274mv either I would guess it depends on ASIC quality mine is in the 60s, not that I'm bothered mind very happy with my current 1500mhz (on water). I can't get over how smoothly GTA V runs but then coming from a 3GB 780Ti the extra memory might have a lot to do with it.

Shot of my custom fan curve on msi gaming edition.

Only drops idle temps by 2-3c compared to the stock profile.

yeah shouldnt really matter and I wouldnt worry one of mine is 63% and the other 74% but im not really botherd though or willing to try send one back because of it. Im happy and will be watercooling soon so hopefully will be able to push them further. Just waiting for bits now

There should be a sticky that just says MSI G6 is the quietest 980ti and not far off the fastest. Its the best one out there IMO. Fans are barely audible at 70%

The AMP Extreme is a contender too.

oldestgregg · 14 Jul 2015 at 13:13

Ive heard they pretty good but MSI (for me at least) have been kicking out this fantastic cooling system for ages and have more brand recognition. I know when I buy a gaming edition card it will be very quiet and very fast. The AMP card is a bit of an unknown quantity
