The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

Was tempted by the g1 gaming card but as usual the reviews on acoustics differ greatly. You have one place saying barely audible, another saying slightly less fan noise than a reference 980ti, and another saying its noticeable under load but not intrusive.

So which is it? Also seems to be a lot of coil whine issues with the cards.

55% you can hear it, 57%-60% is is noticeably louder & anything after that well.. Another thing to note is that the white LED is not white it is a tainted green.
 
Flashed the bios today and it hasnt really let me push the gpu further. I am now hitting 1529Mhz on firestrike with 8000mhz on the ram. Not had time to push the memory further but so far thats where the biggest increase has been. I think I have found the limit of my core speed as the extra voltage doesnt seem to help it much.

I'm surprised how similar they look from the front as the 980ti is a weighty monster in comparison when in the hand.

Ive just finished doing some benchies

I did full screen and windowed on Witcher 3 as I usually have another monitor showing SKY GO or something, and it needs to be windowed for it to work (not always) Notice a big difference in FPS.

Ignoring all other results, Witcher wasn't great to play in SLI when in windowed mode, it had a very noticeable stutter when under 60-70 fps but it was the smoothest of all when in full screen mode.

Whats the temp range generally at that fan percentage and is it something the card would normally get to in games?

Do you play GTAV? That's where I've seen the biggest improvement (Vram matters!)/
 
Rather new to overclocking with a 980TI, with AB I was able to increase my core clock by 120MHZ with memory +500 and power limit at 110, before I got driver crashes. I haven't touched the voltage nor changed the fans, is +120 a decent clock or otherwise for a aftermarket 980TI?

Depends. What's the boost your getting?

And is it stable in games? Games are more stressful and demanding than benchmark tools.

I can bench at 1506...I havento run some games at 1380-90...otherwise the driver crashes.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your 980 Ti.​

You can try upping the voltage (no risks here), but often it doesn't help much.

Ok thanks. One other slight thing, the card is big (Palit) and it looks to me as though it may be stressing the PCIE slot. I am going to see if I can reroute the power cables to help lift the card, but am concerned it may damage the PCIE port longer term?

I did full screen and windowed on Witcher 3 as I usually have another monitor showing SKY GO or something, and it needs to be windowed for it to work (not always) Notice a big difference in FPS.

Ignoring all other results, Witcher wasn't great to play in SLI when in windowed mode, it had a very noticeable stutter when under 60-70 fps but it was the smoothest of all when in full screen mode.

What settings are you using for witcher 3 i get huge drops using 980sli with everything on including the hair when not win full screen. Windowed mode is almost half the fps ... but with full screen get 60 most of time with vsync off it averages 70 + with modest o/c

I have both setups, and I find 980Ti sits around 10fps lower than 980 SLI at full screen. I run everything ultra with hairworks off (it's just not worth the hit IMO).

i was just confused how little frame rate drops they are receiving in full screen was wondering if one of the settings is causing it to be near unplayable using windowed mode for me or if something else is afoot :)
 
Shiny new card - check

Got my second zotac amp extreme 980ti today along with a 4k monitor and a case, unfortunately despite reading some reviews saying I could fit triple cards in the first 2 pci express slots, there's simply no room for any air to move, I guess they forgot to mention ONLY reference cards that blow the air out the back. What I'm really disappointed in is that i called overclockers before my order shipped and they told me themselves that my motherboard would be OK running 2 amp extremes so I let the order ship ??? I've now got £1200 worth of graphics cards sitting here and a 4k monitor that I can't really use properly. I'm wondering where I now stand with the cards as I don't want to have any money deducted if I send them back since they are both opened.
