Has anyone with SLI cards noticed there's no Option to enable DSR in the control panel?

Very nice - what coolant/tubes you using there? also no backplate?

Cheers Dave.

I am using Primochill Primoflex Advanced Red 19/13 tubing with Clear EK pre mix. As for the back plate no mate I never get to see the inside of my pc as it has no window.

I read somewhere they're changing stuff around so they can bang more cards out quicker towards the end of July or beginning of August.
Of course that may have just been a wonderful dream where I live in a reality where I actually get my GPU eventually, since I can't actually find where I saw that.

AAAAAAA don't say that!

Well, the best chips go to the KingBin version.

Where do you think the rejects go to?

SLI + Gsync = ~~DSR~~

Oh BOO! Even disabling G-Sync doesn't give me DSR.

Mine is 70.3

What is the standard test for stability?

As that seems subjective and can be varible.

Hey I can fire strike at 1505...game in BF4 but some games hate it.

Ughhhh I didn't make the connection when I read about that initially...

I find Firestrike more forgiving than Valley or Heaven by about 20Mhz.

I find valley doesn't utilise my GPU power the same way Firestrike does, I always tend to max out my usage at 110% very quickly during benchmarks on Firestrike.

Now I've got my two under water I'm half tempted to flash the bios on both to unlock the power limit, at the moment I'm fairly certain I can get more out of them - as power limit is what I'm hitting so far.

The power limit was crippling me. The new bios gets rid of that.

It should. How are you disabling it?

BS Dave · 21 Jul 2015 at 15:39

what unlocked bios' are people using? want one that just unlocks the power limit really...

I used one I found on the [Official] Nvidia GTX 980 Ti Owners Club - @ Overclock.net.

It has a guide, the tools to download & everything. There are a selection to download from, some lock the voltage, some just increase the power limit.

Flashing from windows is nice & easy, but does pose a small risk however.

So now I don't know whether to switch my order from EVGA Hybrid and go for the Inno3d.... definitely a bad move by EVGA.

Out of interest what is the true range of ASIC? I've seen mentions from about 55-85.

Might be a novice question but how long do you run it for?

I'm playing a lot of pcars and that ain't happy with 1450+

Maybe its a driver issue, so want to test something else demanding. Fire strike runs..but wondering if I should loop heaven for 10 times or something.

N19h7m4r3 · 21 Jul 2015 at 15:59

Only way I know of is to simply turn off G-Sync in the control panel.

You can see it crash after a few loops. If your testing for system stability then the longer the better and with a variation of games and benchmarks. Different games/benchmarks can fail at different levels of overclock.

I would check afterburner and see what limit has been flagged, it will probably be power limit as a value 1.

Even without the KingBin fiasco, I would have gone for the Inno AIO.

I think it looks better (personal taste, of course), faster clocks out of the box, LED loading indicators, and won't have been down-binned.

Only 3 year warranty instead of five, but who keeps a graphics card five years anyhow?

Not in "Manage 3D setings"... disable it in "Setup Gsync" part.

Must say i interested in the inno just would be nice to see a review of it the reviews i saw of the 980 version made me question how cool it was compared to the EVGA
