*Newsflash* Everyone using the "automobile horsepower" analogy, is wrong. Say a sedan has 300 claimed HP. That is at flywheel, not wheels. Once you factor in FWD, RWD or AWD it creates a drivetrain drag on the initial horse power. FWD is usually a loss of up to 10% HP and it can go all the way up to a 30% HP loss with AWD vehicles. So your analogy, if anything, would be a good defense for Nvidia's dishonesty. I guess i will put in my 2 cents. The only practical way I see the 970 problem affecting someone is if they're playing AAA titles at higher resolutions or with max AA settings. I feel for them on that level, but at the same time the 970 is a fantastic card for its price.

Alright, I edited my post with the extreme HD screenshot.

Alright, thanks. Give me a minute.

Hey guys, long time. My buddy got a Gigabyte GTX970 G1 a few days back so we had a Head to Head match yesterday. I wanted to see how my year old gtx780 would stack up. Anyways here the screen shots of my 1080p and 1440p benchmarks and GPUz varifying the specs. CPU : Intel i7 4770k @ 4.5Ghz GPU: Asus GTX780 DCUII @ 1228Mhz core & 1683mhz mem, 110% power, +37mV. Score : 1080p - 3056 1440p - 1855 Settings : Extreme HD 1080p & Ultra 1440p, 8x

I wasn't planning on doing them since it's not the "new" version. You just want to beat me again.

Bummer, I was hyped.

Just saw the new version of cinebench. I will bench it when i get home later today. o/

Thanks John and Linus for the great stream. ^^

I have the same ram. Cant say i have had any problems and i have had them for years. What's your voltage at?

You should use AIDA64. Other synthetic stress tests can overvolt haswell.

I have taken both CFM and static pressure readings from both fans. The spectre pro is quieter, but underwhelming in performance. Infact, they're the quietest fan i have tested. Both fans channel air fairly well because of the design of the exhaust side of the fan housing. The NF F12 is a lot sturdier and uses .6w, whereas the spectre pro uses 2.16w. The spectre pro at 12v, 9v, 7v performs like a NF F12 at 9v, 7v, 5v. So if you were planning on running the NF F12 at 9v or lower than their performance is comparable and so is the noise level at each respective voltage. Noctua NF F12 - Airflow: 51.61CFM(12v) 39.64CFM(9v) 31.05CFM(7v) 21.94CFM(5v). Static Pressure:1.95mmH2O(12v) 1.19mmH2O(9v) 0.71mmH2O(7v) 0.35mmH2O(5v) (note: needs to be spun to start at 5v) Bitfenix Spectre Pro - Airflow: 37.20CFM(12v) 28.40CFM(9v) 23.32CFM(7v) 18.02CFM(5v) Static Pressure: 1.19mmH2O(12v) 0.73mmH2O(9v) 0.50mmH2O(7v) 0.25mmH2O(5v) If you want a fan that has nearly the same CFM and static pressure as the NF F12, look into the Xigmatek XLF. Their performance is very close, but the NF F12 channels air a lot better and once again uses better parts while using just a fraction of the wattage. Xigmatek XLF-F1253 - Airflow: 54.47CFM(12v) 44.83CFM(9v) 35.82CFM(7v) 26.18CFM(5v) Static Pressure: 2.03mmH2O(12v) 1.29mmH2O(9v) 0.83mmH2O(7v) 0.43mmH2O(5v)

If you ever plan on putting a water block on it go with EVGA or ASUS.

EK PE are very dense radiators. I would go with a fan that has fairly high static pressure, something north of 2.0mmH2O.

I have been waiting for this! The time to SLI is soon.

I agree. Keep them clean and free of debris and they should last a very long time.
