    I currently have a 980ti and looking for upgrades rather soon; I’m planning on buying another 2x 1080p monitors so I want some extra power to keep games running at ultra. Would it be better to buy another 980ti for ~£250 or sell and buy a 1080ti for ~550-600. Thanks

    Yeah I just used DDU and installed an older nvidia driver, seems to have fixed the problem (y)

    All games had their equivalent v-sync settings disabled

    I've bought a new laptop and every game I've played, the fps is capped at 60. This only seems to happen when applications are fullscreen only. I've already turned v sync off in nvidia control & the games but the problem is still occurring. I'm using high performance power plan as well. My specs are: i5 7300hq GTX1050 8GB RAM At this point I'm tempted to install a fresh copy of windows and hope for the best... Edit: It is 100% linked with my refresh rate as if I change the freq. then the cap changes also.

    I'm probably gonna skip Sandy Bridge cpus since Ivy Bridge seems to be about 10% stronger, also native USB3 and PCI-E 3.0. I'll probably look into either a 3570k and a Z68 or a 3770 for max ~£120.

    That was my original plan. Just wanted to see if I could stretch my budget and pick up any better CPUs, especially something like a Xeon; maybe a E3 1230 v2 or something.

    I was going to buy this originally: https://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SCPUINTI53570KA#.V4tauOgrKM8

    I have a £120 budget for a short term CPU upgrade. I can buy a Z68 mobo to overclock for £30 if someone finds a unlocked CPU for £90. I was originally going to get a 3570k for £85 and a Z68 for £30 to overclock. What's the best CPU I can currently buy, used or new i dont care, that's 1155. I already have a 1155 H61M mobo. My rig is: i3 3220 GTX660 6GB RAM CX430

    Awesome man. What FPS have you been getting on games with that 970?
  10. CaptainNitro
    I've never overclocked before so I still need to learn - my friend is doing it with my luckily but I'll probably just end up using Asus AI suite to do it for me lol.
  11. CaptainNitro
    My friend used the mobo with a 3570k, I'll just need to update the BIOS.
  12. CaptainNitro
    I'm buying the mobo from a friend and the CPU from CEX. I just hope CEX is reputable and the CPU I get hasnt been running 4.8ghz 24/7 for a year.
  13. CaptainNitro
    Yeah the 1155 socket, which the 3570k is?
  14. CaptainNitro
    That'll be the mobo I'm getting, sorry. I have a 212 evo in push/pull to cool the CPU too. A GPU will come later on probably, something like a 1070 when my budget increases - i'll move onto a i7 6700k or something then.
  15. CaptainNitro
    From what I've seen, the i7 is more than what I'm buying the i5 and mobo for. I've messaged a few people who are selling but so far no reasonable priced i7s have popped up.
