I get the same fps with a 2700k and a 4790k with a Titan X. You should be fine, won't bottleneck the card at all, in games at least.

Try to remove the graphics card and then connect it to the motherboard video output

I have no idea, i guess because its high res.. No it didnt as the shroud doesnt do anything for cooling, its basically an AIO liquid cooler slapped on a Titan X, the shroud is just there to hide it. It's a basic plastic piece. This was the piece i painted before fitting it back on the card.

I bought a EVGA Titan X SC, after a few weeks of usage, and being limited by the temps of the card i decided to buy the EVGA Hybrid kit, to watercool my card without going into a full custom loop. However EVGA has been for MONTHS out of stock of the Titan X Hybrid Cooler (as well as all the other hybrid kit for 980/980ti). I however manage to be at the right spot at the right time on Evga website and saw the 980ti Hybrid kit available, being compatible with the Titan X i jumped on the occasion i bought it right away. I received it a few days later, and the temps were amazing! I really recommend this kit for whoever wants to watercool a card without going full loop ! I'm sitting at 45 degrees under full load on my card ! There was only one problem, i didn't the appearance of the 980ti shroud, the color isn't that nice and obviously it is written 980ti on it... So i decided to paint the shroud to make it look like a real Titan X. I went for a Matte Black Plasti Dip paint and after 5 coats of it this is the results ... I am really pleased with the final look of the card, finally back to the black Titan X, gone is the 980ti name and the backplate makes it even nicer ! Using the same paint i also modded my Corsair Vengeance Pro ram stick, i painted only the top metal piece that used to be red. This was my first ever mod to one of my components and i would say it was definitely worth it and looking forward to paint other stuff (Looking at you XPower AC motherboard, your yellow look is out of my theme...)

EVGA Titan X SC fitted with an EVGA Hybrid Cooler (980ti version, plasti dipped in mate black)

Get the EVGA Titan X Hybrid, it's a really good card, and overclocks very well, without running into any heat issues

Can confirm, i have a lg 34um95 and even with a 970 i was struggling. Now with a Titan X, damn the screen is gorgeous ! 980Ti, FuryX or maybe 390/390x if you are really tight on budget but the first two for best results imo.

Evga hybrid tubing aren't that long ( I couldn't reach the front of my case (corsair 780T), I'd put it as exhaust in the back. Keeping 2 intake on front and if possible try to add an intake at the bottom of the case to keep some positive air pressure. That's what I did in my case

From my past experience don't expect 60fps stable in 1440p ultra wide with a 970 in newer games in high/ultra. 16:9 should be fine though

My GPU history for my current build: - MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming - EVGA Titan X Superclocked with the hybrid upgrade kit I guess I won't upgrade for some time now, really satisfied with the Titan X performances (running at 1492Mhz lol)

I had the same problem when taking off my Titan X cooler to install the evga hybrid kit. In the end I took the smallest drill bit I had and drilled through the middle of the screw, the head of the screw got off allowing me to remove the cooler and the finally totally removed the rest of the screw with pliers. Be careful and everything should be fine. Don't forget that some of the Titan X screws are Philipps #000, if you don't use the correct screwdriver you will get stripped screws. Good luck, it's not hard but it's stressing as hell! I got that feeling too

Same problem here with a Titan X and a 900w PSU. It's been going on for a few months now. I've tried everything, nothing stops it's, even tried to underclock. The hotfix driver didn't help either, still crashing randomly. I guess it's just some bad drivers, hope it gets better soon.

There is some huge performance issues with GTA5 last patch, Rockstar acknowledged it. A lot of players with nvidia cards are reporting the same issues as you do. You should try some other games to see if the card is faulty but i doubt it. Just wait for the next GTA patch.

Yea same happened to me with the 1st shirt, came in way earlier than the ETA

I'm sure you'll be able to afford your dream one day.
