Fair point. Looks like I'll get the zontac reference, or amp if it's ref pcb.

And well I've got myself a rig swift so would like to get close to 144hz@1440p as possible with the best settings I can get. And not actually touched bf4 for ages

for everything really. Bf4 gta5 tpp arma3....etc etc etc

Plus I do everything in pairs now....7970, 680 X2. ...now 980tix2

Oh that's right

Two 980Ti's would definitely help in GTA5. I get around 100fps constant with medium settings - so you would need a second card to maintain 144 for that game.

AMP is reference
AMP Extreme is custom

Thank you sir. Added to basket

Actually.....any difference between the amp and ref cooler cards? Except the fans? As the triple fans wouldn't be ideal for the temp use in my current rig (raven03 so best the air gets vented out top via ref cooler)

Gerard · 23 Jul 2015 at 16:52

The extreme is mental looking, seen a pic of it installed into a case and you'd think the pci-e slot was gonna snap, it was sagging like a flaccid donkey wang. :eek:

look at this:

Also that front intake is bogging!

It has a completely different heatsink and fan setup, which is frankly brilliant. I wouldn't worry so much about it in your case, it's one of the best air cooling cases.

Ordered

wooooooooooooo! Can't wait to test out gta5 with these tomorrow

can order the wc blocks and back plates too now.....oh ocuk..... why does my money love you so

marcus2704 · 23 Jul 2015 at 17:10

Is there any way to prevent the sagging as in the above example for the Amp Extreme?

A verticle support of some type from the base of the case to the card for instance.

elmarko · 23 Jul 2015 at 17:13

cable ties on the power cables to the case may be an idea, that definitly looks like your case is going to snap lol - is the connection lock for the PCI-E broken?

That definitely needs a Powerjack!

That card looks like something the Borg would use to assimilate your PC!

but it's usa only. I did advise ocuk to create their own custom logo version but the monies are in other components.

elmarko · 23 Jul 2015 at 17:29

Got mine fully setup now with the 2 980ti's, most certainly saves allot of room the EK blocks - nice & slim cards now.

Did you post this in product suggestions?

Annihilation · 23 Jul 2015 at 18:30

Hi all,

Wondered if you could help. Just got an nice shiny new Zotac GeForce GTX 980Ti AMP Extreme Edition. However it GPU-Z keeps giving me a PerfCap reason of Power at ~85%, even if I move the power limit bar to 111% and mess around with the clock speeds, etc.

Any ideas?

elmarko · 23 Jul 2015 at 18:32

What core is that at? (boosted)

Annihilation · 23 Jul 2015 at 19:16

In GPU-Z it states 1355MHz, which is about 1435 actual. If I push the clock up I can get 1530ish.

The bottom pic is showing a clock of 885, did the display divers crash by any chance?, you have to restart MSI if that happens.

Angst · 23 Jul 2015 at 19:44

Can anyone tell me what gains if any i would get from ocing the memory on my card.
