Something a little cheaper than a titan x please. I thought about it, but its too much given the rest of the build. Maybe something like a 390x? Or a 980 ti? I'll ask the person i'm building it for, but I'm sure they will say no to the titan x.

Hello! With all these new cards on the market, im not sure what to buy for a workstation build I am doing. The build needs to be able to use Maya, zbrush, photoshop unreal4, topogun, 3dsmax. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the advice! I'll look into it!

Thanks for the replies. I need to use Maya, zbrush, photoshop unreal4, topogun, 3dsmax.

The general build principal was more RAM, more VRAM, a solid cpu, plenty of HDD space, and an SSD for other stuff. Probably way too much wattage, but the plan is to buy more GPU's. Please tell me if there is something I should change.

My card comes in tomorrow, I'lll be downloading it then.

Thanks for the advice! I did not know that! Thanks. How would you suggest I go about this. I.E in increments etc... This will be my first legit Overclock, so Im going in cold basically. What Benchmark do you use to test for artifacting? I used uniengine heaven 4.0.

Ok, it happened.... I bought a gtx 980. Anyways, I have been searching for people's overclock of their EVGA 980 acx 2.0 super clocked edition, and I can't find much of anything.... I want to use the EVGA overclock utility, which makes it really nice and easy, but I want an idea of what overclocks I will be expecting. NO water, just the stock cooler. Anyone here have any references? Anyone here overclock their 980?

Thank you for the input! The higher price must be demand then? Im confused as to why the price would be more expensive if the performance is less....

It's all good! Thank you for your help!

Interesting... I kind of had that hunch, Thank you. What settings do you play your games on? What kind of benchmarks are you getting? I just want to know from a user vs. any old website... lol. Are you happy with it?

So The time is approaching when I can afford a 980!!! I really want to buy a card no compromise card, Like the EVGA 04G-2982-KR GeForce GTX 980. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487068. Is it worth paying the premium over something like the EVGA 04G-2983-KR GeForce GTX 980? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487079? The difference is minimal from what I can see, yet the price is so radically different. I like saving the money when I can, but I want to make sure there isn't that much of a difference before I buy one or the other. The money isn't as important as the performance, I'm looking from a price to performance ratio. What do you guys think? Any other card suggestions? Will the rest of my build be bottleneck free with the card upgrade? Build: p8h61-m le r2.0. mobo i5-3570k amd 6850 8 gb gskill ripjaws 1600mhz 500 watt corsair psu 2 tb hdd 500 gb hdd win 8.1

Thank you everyone for the great advice, I'll keep it all in mind

Thanks! I think it looks great! Now time to scrounge up the money.... Its reasonably priced as well which is a definite plus!

Yeah. I just tested that Overclock setting and was getting 3.78 max for 60 c.... Turbo is automatically 3.8 right?
