assatm: its a bit hit and miss to be honest, most of the time its down to the game being programmed badly. I find that if you wait 3 months after launch and then play the game your experience is much better than if you try and play it before then. Some games work well on launch day.

In terms of micro-stutter well I can say that at 4k the 980 has micro-stutter all over the place. Generally, I don't see this in two card mode at 1080p or 1440p unless the game is to blame i.e. a ubisoft product. I personally think that the general poor 4k perf. on the 980 is down to the memory bus being limited to 256-bit. 1080p and 1440p perf. has been stellar.

I think the TX's larger bus and extra vram legroom will help solve these problems.

G-sync was made for 4k, its a shame that TV's don't support it.

I blame it on AMD !!!!!

Going back a year if a game was a Gaming Evolved title you could near enough guarantee that NVidia would go out of their way to make sure it had fantastic SLI support. Now that AMD are a bit off form it seems NVidia are not bothered either. Having said that it could be just my imagination.

I honestly expected Ocuk to have had them in warehouse all wrapped up ready for launch and to be sent out the next, really **** poor if you ask me spend 1k on a gpu then have to wait 2 weeks.
Like Kapp said we will get the blocks before the cards looool!!! :mad:

This means that the card has been in existence and doing the rounds for a while for EKWB to have blocks ready so why the paper launch for the Titan X ?

Paper launch for us brits, the yanks have been getting next day delivery direct from the NVIDIA USA shop.

Tbf, you can't blame them focusing on their *much* bigger market!! AMD are almost non-existent in North America

You really didn't think nvidia would care about the U.K. did you!
Getting bored of all the hype with nothing really interesting me atm. I usually get a little excited as I was before the titanx numbers surfaced, but now I am really not bothered what nvidia cards are released this year.

There's always next year

It's why I went for a pair of sweet-clocking 980s vs a single Titan X, I'd prefer the higher performance for less money!!

OcUK gets monitors and all sorts before yank, TBH I can't name an enthusiast-run etailer over there off top of my head...

Kaapstad · 22 Mar 2015 at 02:25

The EU is also a bigger market than the states, it is about time it started earning it's keep and throwing it's weight about.

Dude needs sex, asap!!

A new GPU has just released who cares about sex ?

Just killing time until the card arrives and trying to persuade myself for the 3rd (I'm already dead set for a second at least) :cool:

3DMark Hall Of Fame #1 for SLI on air

Thinking my 3930K is going to hold me back, but I like a challenge

Any info from Skynets brother for a better modded bios ?

^JP^ · 22 Mar 2015 at 08:18

Water blocks with a back plates or not?

Worried about high ram temps transferring heat through the plate into the VRM, even though actively cooled on the other side could it be a problem?

Same JP from OCN ? Cool...

Will have to wait for those that went with AC active backplates to test. I guess they maybe a better option.

I usually do air because I interchange GPUs, so will leave it to the pros.

Silent_Scone · 22 Mar 2015 at 08:28

Lmao no that's not the same JP

^JP^ · 22 Mar 2015 at 08:32

No not the same, I don't use that forum.

Well I have bought three blocks and back plates now, will see how it goes.

Been doing some reading about overclocking these cards and it appears when doing so you can hit the thermal limit of 84c, however you can increase the limit as stated below.

How is this done on an NV card, might be a daft question but I'm comming from AMD :-)

Custom bios

Born_2_Kill_83 · 22 Mar 2015 at 08:42

Invalidates the warranty?

heat won't be the problem once the water-blocks go in, it will be the power-limit which is set at a maximum of 110%. A custom bios will be out in short order I would imagine, to get that up to somewhere around 125% but if the card fails for any reason....

looking at the reviews I probably would not mod this card under air as the NV cooler is being stretched to the limit.
