Article from wired http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/04/virscan-tests-for-all-human-viruses Quote: "A newly-developed $25 (£16) test that can identify any virus that has ever affected a person, from one drop of blood. It's inventors say it can test for more than 1,000 virus strains, and once refined would be cheap enough to deploy on a large scale." Quote: "What makes this so unique is the scale: right now, a physician needs to guess what virus might be at play and individually test for it. With VirScan, we can look for virtually all viruses, even rare ones, with a single test." Quote: So far VirScan has delivered accurate results, with almost 100 percent sensitivity for HIV and Hepatitis C in a small trial of people known to have those viruses. "We didn't falsely identify people who were negative," said Elledge. "That gave us confidence that we could detect other viruses, and when we did see them we would know they were real." Quote: The test does have its shortcomings, however. Although it performed very well in the HIV and Hepatitis C studies, when tested against a wider pool of nearly 600 blood samples Chicken Pox was identified in only 25-30 percent of people.

If you have a choice always go for the higher power single card over the two lesser cards. You can always get a second one later on down the rode.

Of the two 980 ti has the best bang but the 970 is better bang for buck then those two. Unless of course you like AMD the 290 offers is the best, but I only buy nvidia. So its up to you. But yeah for your question, 980 ti.

I thought the article said you could combine nvidia and amd? Either way it'll help with "future-proofing" like I said.

I was wondering if you slifired, if you would get the benefits associated when games like one card over another. Would it be like your crossfiring two AMDs for games that like AMD and two nvidia for games that like nvidia. I'm gonna make a guess that it will just split the difference in performance, but whatever. Least I'll be able to sli a future card with the 980 ti I'm planning on buying. I hated finding a purpose for my old GPUs. I would usually make a another PC with all my spare parts...

this has become the natural selection for humans to keep our population in check. Normally a population can only grow as large as there is enough food to feed them. So there can only be as many lions as there are zebra to feed them. For humanity thats not really a factor, so our natural selection has become the jobs available in order to make money to buy the food. Its sad to see people starve to death yes, but its not something that you can change really. By limiting jobs they are limiting the growth of humanity which in the long run is a very good thing unless you would like your descendants to live in a world like what is depicted in Elysium. I'm sure that will happen eventually anyway, but overpopulation of earth is not a good thing, neither is encouraging that growth.

The whole problem is that it shouldn't be for ANY version. Also most people will be getting home version anyway because they didn't want to pay extra for pro. To many times the windows updates have come out broken, so windows especially should not be forcing the issue. I've even recently had problems with a system update for my nvidia shield tablet. Even though it is android and not windows I can still imagining it happening for windows. So I updated it and now when the system is put into standby it will power on and off like every 30 seconds. The problem is pretty uncommon and what might work on a galaxy s4 doesn't work on mine. Because PCs are so diverse with pretty much no two being the same is why system updates shouldn't be mandatory. One update that is good for one graphics card might completely kill the performance of another. The only system that automatic updates are really feasible is on a closed system like ps4, where the only thing that you can change with it is the HDD. Not to mention ALL of your data is backed up on a cloud server in case one of those system updates is so catastrophic that it forces you to reformat your hard drive. The only thing you really lose is time because you have to redownload all you games and saves.

Dude thats an AMD... I wouldn't even consider buying that even if that card was twice as good as the 980 ti and cheaper. I don't buy AMD. 5 people in my platoon bought AMD in Iraq and 6 people nvidia and only the nvidia made it out although one died from being left on a hood in the sun too long. I refuse to touch AMD. Also why would you even point to AMD in the first place if you posted a thread about a card from nvidia? Is it that you didn't know gigabyte was also producing a 3 fan card when you attempted to make a joke about Asus card design?

You ever deal with a salesman that offers you a super expensive thing just so your more likely buy the more reasonable priced thing? I forget what the tactic is called, but I think thats what nvidia might be doing...

Yeah that video was awesome, I was really floored by how well the 980 ti OCed. I'm sitting here thinking why titan x isn't doing better then it has and why the 980 ti does better with fps then titan x does. Can games even utilize 12GB of vram?

I meant thats where it is supposed to be right? It has 6GB of vram so it is supposed to between 4GB and 12 GB right?

If fill rate is associated with how much vram a GPU has doesn't it make sense that the 980 ti has less then the titan x? It is situated between the 980 and the titan x so thats about right, right? Actually I would kinda expect the titan x to have done better then it did seeing as it has twice as much vram as the 980 ti... I think it's more of a question why the hell is the titan x doing so poorly not the other way around.

What the hell are you talking about Gigabyte went 3 fans with their aftermarket 980 ti as well... Actually now that I look most developers went with three fans, but atleast Asus has a back plate on theirs and you can always buy their Poseidon card if you want just two fans.http://videocardz.com/55670/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti-roundup

Sorry I can't upload the actual image I'm on my tablet and I can't figure out how. Actual pic: http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=news&action=thumb&id=10707

and like I said, whatever the reasoning it shouldn't be mandatory. What your doing is lame justification of a bad business practice. It would be easy enough to hide the option in the system setting so that the non-tech savvy can't find it. Your defending more control being taken away from you which is fairly ironic since PC gamers are always getting after console gamers for the same bs... Your defending a corporation who is known to put out bad updates, so they are pretty much forcing people to upgrade their version. There is absolutely no reason it should be mandatory.
