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

Can't see there being much difference either way. They both have 120mm rads.

I've just sold an Inno3d 670 and it's been really reliable for the time I had it.

That's what I did, it has no bearing on being able to have DSR for me. I still don't have DSR listed anywhere in my Control Panel :(

Seems simply having a G-Sync monitor with SLI means no DSR. Wanted to see how well my machine handles some games at 4 or 5K.

I'll mention it in here as well as more people will probably read this but:

I have two 980Ti's in SLI, performance was perfect, then it randomly dipped, a reboot didnt fix it, but it would sometimes decide to be fine again, I went to single GPU with both GPU's and they both had the dip in the exact same way, its fair to say thats the motherboard at that point right?

So I activated the backup BIOS and performance is as expected again, but if it happens again randomly, is it fair to assume a motherboard replacement is needed?

Its very strange though as GPU usage is high even when performance dips, clocks are fine etc, there just seems to be something that knocks a good 30/40fps off performance! which is quite a bit of an FPS dip, I think its safe to assume that at least one of my 980Ti's is fine so I can rule them out, CPU seems to be operating fine as well

It's a Z97-SOC Gigabyte motherboard btw, but motherboards are the areas I have the least amount of knowledge, could they really sporadically affect PCI-E performance that hard? even when Afterburner shows GPU usage etc is fine?
 
Anybody else having trouble flashing the bios?, getting this error - ERROR:BIOS Cert Verification Error & it's aborting the flash.

Using the 980Ti-SC-425 bios from overclock.net.

Just need a second braided 8 pin pcie cable, (1x 8 and 1x 6 pin shoved behind the botton fans). Stock cables are a bit bland.

What driver are you using... Sounds more like a driver problem to me.
 
Got my MSI Gaming 980 ti the other day, finally got around to overclocking it. Can add these to the bench list if you'd like and I'd like to be added to the ROH!

(Standard Firestrike) Score 16969, GPU 980 Ti @1519(1280)/1953, GFX Score 21499, Physics Score 12672, Combined Score 8192, CPU 4770K @4.5, Munimentum, Drivers 353.30 Link

353.49, but ive had it on the previous hotfix driver as well, so I dont know if its just a common thing with Nvidia drivers atm? it doesnt always fix on a reboot so im not sure if it is a driver issue or not

Is there a "how to overclock your 980ti" thread as there was for AMD cards?

Using MSI afterburner
Slide power to its maximum
Set core to +100 and hit apply
Run heaven or valley windowed so you can have afterburner running over the top
Keep doing another +10 and hit apply until it locks up
Back it down 10 from where it locked up and leave it running
Then do the same with memory, start at +200 and go up 50 at a time then back off 25

Then run some games to check stability, if temps are <80 and power limit isn't being hit you can also add voltage 20mv at a time and keep upping the core speed, but I think most people are hitting the power limit on stock volts

If you detach the readouts pane you can select loads of useful values to monitor (core speed, memory speed, power limit and temperature being the main ones to keep an eye on)

What am I doing wrong here to be getting such a high score in Heaven 4? I'm sure it's just my settings and any idea why it says 4GB when the card has 6GB?
