No, just more poorly optimized.

Actual ultra, unlike what other websites and channels run. I don't turn down anything including anti-aliasing. I cover this in my video at length.

Yes, I always do testing in full ultra unlike a lot of websites since I feel those are the numbers that enthusiasts want to know about. Benchmarks & Games tested: Witcher 3 Uber w/Hairworks Grand Theft Auto V Ultra Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor w/Ultra Texture Pack Firestrike Extreme Firestrike Ultra Metro Last Light Ultra w/PhysX Tomb Raider Ultra w/TressFX Unigine Heaven 4.0 Ultra Unigine Valley Ultra

Hey guys, Joker here. Just wanted to do a short write up and share some of the numbers that I've seen with my testing so far on the GTX 980 Ti's in SLI. First, I'll just say that these cards are an absolute beast to behold. Coming from using two 980's on a 1080p 144hz display and then snagging these cards within days of getting the new Acer XB270HU with 144hz, G-Sync & 1440p.. I was happy I made the leap forward. Basically for me gaming at over 60fps on ultra is essential. I don't even really play games that run at just 60, Wolfenstein excluded, because I just can't do 60hz gaming. The reason I'm explaining that to you is because going from 980's to 980 Ti's was like recapturing the performance I used to get at 1080p using those 980's which was just purely amazing. Being able to now crank Witcher 3 up with Hairworks at 1440 and getting 80-100 frames easily without my overclock is awesome because with two 980's I ran mostly around 60fps and at times dipping to as low as 50. Overclocking. My cards both came in with average ASIC scores of 70.4% and 70.6% so I knew they would be decent overclockers. I found that +250 on the core was my sweetspot since boost kicking in has me hovering on 1450, which is what I've determined to be my max stable core clock. After 1450 some things begin to unravel. Valley and Heaven benchmarks would both crash if boost took me to 1460 with a +260 overclock. I didn't mess around with memory as much since performance gains are minimal. I just threw it on +200 and left it there. Avererage performance increase in games and benchmarks was 15-18% with my added 250 on the core. Performance in 4K. Now I'm not a 4k Gamer by any stretch, nor do I plan to be until I see performance in SLI giving the types of numbers I'm now getting at 1440p and used to get at 1080p when I had my 980's, but that is strictly coming from a 144hz gamer, however.. If you are looking to play at 4K and 60hz is fine for you that is awesome and you can be assured tht the 980 Ti's will kick serious butt in doing so. The most VRAM demanding game I tested, Shadow of Mordor with the texture pack and every setting including anti-aliasing cranked up, I did not dip below 60fps and held strong at 5600MB of memory usage in the games benchmark. So if you think you need the 12GB of the Titan X for a single 4K screen.. then you are sorely mistaken. Triple 4K screens, certainly, but for a single 4k panel; I think two 980 Ti's is the much better option. Overall just very impressed and I'll go back with what I just said in the beginning was that this has given me the perfect 1440 144hz gaming experience. I would also say that for 4k 60hz, two 980 Ti's is definitely the way to go over something like the Titan X with its insane price point. These are gaming cards and that is what they do well. Below are my benchmark numbers and game averages for those that did not have a built in benchmark. And lastly below that is the video I did for this review in case you would like to check it out. I hope you enjoyed this mini review. Later

I removed the video. Don't want any bad blood over it. Just sharing it as it tied in with the build, but whatever. I have 2x 2TB HGST drives in RAID. I just took photos before I started moving over my extra drives. I don't buy into that. All of us tech Youtubers are friends and part of a community. If Linus sells a mug, I would gladly buy it.

What's up guys. This is my new X99 build that I put together between yesterday and today. Just moved over some SSD's and 780's from previous build. Hope you like it. X99 Build: Mobo: Asus X99-A CPU: i7 5820K GHZ RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 2666mHz (OC'd to 2800mHz) Power Supply: EVGA G2 1300W GPU's: MSI GTX 780's (moved from old build) Boot drive: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB CPU Cooler: BeQuiet Dark Rock 3

It would be my 1.86GB thumb drive that looks like a miniature version of Starkiller, from The Force Unleashed 2.

The in-game scaling option for Battlefield 4 is terrible and frames are not consistent with what one should expect at those resoltuions. It also doesn't go up to 4K. And given the ability to customize ANY option between in a game or my drivers.. I would take the driver every single time. Because Battlefield doesn't care about your hardware, the driver does. It is better optimized.

That can easily be adjusted with UI scaling in-game. This was just done quickly. And, I don't have any issues taking screenshots with it

I thought this guide for DSR would help people out. I hope I'm posting in the right place. Quick note that this is working now on older cards, Fermi and Keplar.

760 SLI is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. For one, when a game comes along that doesn't scale well or support SLI at all.. You are stuck there with a 760. If everything is working in a perfect world like we all wish, then you're grand. But, unfortunately, that is rarely the case.

I have an update on when to expect a performance patch. We should see one in "early June". This is coming from Francis Boivin, Watch Dogs 3D Programming Team Lead. (Original Conversation)
