Could it be down to the VRM's getting too hot? I know MSI had problems in the past with overheating VRM's (I think it was their R9 280X Gaming card). I know the fans don't spin up until the GPU hits 60C with some cards, but chances are the VRM circuitry could be getting quite a bit hotter than that with no airflow, even if the GPU itself is just below 60C.

Hard to tell, mate. The fans go to 80% at 65C with my custom curve and I have 2 SP120 Performace fans blowing on the heat sink, so there's plenty air flow.

I know the power usage is viewable in AB and as soon as it hits 103% it throttles no matter what the core temp is.

Anyone with access to Killing floor 2? The new nVidia flex they put in is ******** all over my 980ti even with an OC.. If i use the Gibs + fluid flex option my FPS tanks to below 45 the second effects starts to roll.. Its borderlands 2 all over again. Wondering if its drivers or just nvidia physx at its "best" yet again.

Has anyone done a custom BIOS for the MSI 6G? My card sits at 95% power just itching to throttle. I can keep temperatures in the mid 60s but any clock north of 1500 and it throttles due to +100% power.

120% power boost.

Alternately you can flash it with a custom EVGA SC bios on overclock.net with a 121% power limit and max of 1281mv.

Can I join? This is the closest I've ever got to owning a top of the line card

A picture of a top of the line card?

I upgraded your RAM for you.

Now you have 2 top of the line cards

A quick question regarding DSR, if I run something in 4k using DSR on a 1080p monitor will the framerate be the same as running @ 4k on a 4k monitor?

Just trying to gauge what sort of performance I'd get by upgrading my monitor wondering if DSR is a good gauge for that.

DSR performance is very close to native resolution performance, so it can give you a good idea of how 2160p would run natively.

It will give you a very good idea on what to expect. I've compared 1440p native to 1440p DSR'd whilst benchmarking and the scores were virtually identical.

Isn't it actually slightly worst than native (if DSR smoothing is used)?

Oops just ordered the Inno Hybrid from OCUK, that's a great price for an OC 980 Ti with AIO. The VRM cooling is what tempted me,

Was gonna get my boys a Nano for their ITX but will give them my REF 980 Ti and have this badboy in my main PC.

setter · 4 Sep 2015 at 19:46

Another Ti Boom. :eek:

Right, Iam hereby reccomending you go seek medical attention for this Ti fetish.

Yes that is some good VRM cooling.

Haha, yeah I know it's an addiction

Hey Boom! Let me know or rather us know how you get on with this card please. Im quite interested! I was going to either go MSI 980Ti 6G and fit my own AIO with a kraken kit or get the INNO hybrid.

But id like to see your input on this card please mate
