  2. You could also go with using your power connectors as a support by making them pull upward on the card this helps with sagging some it's what I do. As said before the CUII sags and is the worst one to sag that I have seen and seeing how they already come with a backplate adding another will not help(and probably can't be done without some rigged crap). just try to rig something to hold up the back end near the connectors, whether it be some wire to hold it from the top or use the power cables themselves, just whatever way you can get some of the weight off the end of the card.
  3. I hate selling items online its just a hassle, but thanks for the option. oh and yes it does support crossfire. I think I'm just going to buy another motherboard and 770 for now. I don't plan on upgrading to a monitor higher than 1080p right now so the 770's should do fine.
  4. Okay I'm beginning to see that I need a little more power, I have a 770 already, so my question is should I SLI the 770 or just get a 970? Keep in mind I have an H87-D3H board so I would need a new motherboard to support SLI. It comes up to be about $110 for the mobo and about 250$ for another 770. So $360 for SLI or $360 for a 970? Keep in mind that if I go with the 970 I would like to SLI it at some point as well. Which one would be the better choice to go with?
  5. My uncle had a bunch of computer parts all over and he let me and my cousin fool around with them and we build two pretty crappy computers, but not terrible I guess. I was like 10 or 11. It had 1gb of ram, a p4, and a Nvidia Geforce2 MX400. It ran Half life 1 great which was all I wanted it for anyway at the time.
  6. Okay I am going to be purchasing a samsung ssd for my build and I want to switch my OS to it, I have a 1tb wd blue right now, and my questions are how to switch the OS to it because I am using windows 8.1 oem and from what I have heard you can only use it once or something? So I need to know how to get it from my HDD to SSD without having to format my HDD as I have like 400gb of data and no other storage to hold it on to back it up as of now.
  7. Don't worry about the factory overclock and life span, It's a good estimate to say that about 80% if not more of all higher end cards are factory overclocked to some degree.
  8. Well if temps don't really matter to you get the reference it is very sexy looking, but I have a Gigabyte WF3 770 and its max temp for me was 64C and that was running Furmark, in games around 50C is the average rarely it will climb up to around 55C. Edit: Just realized you already ordered it. Oops oh well, still kinda relevant, but not really lol.
  9. I think the Direct CUII is the ugliest card of all cards. It just looks terrible.
  10. I just think the titans are just uneconomical and has a terrible price/performance ratio if you just need them for gaming.
  11. Why two Titan Blacks? Why not two 780Ti's? It's cheaper and more powerful.
  12. The 280 will release at it's advertised price and then it will probably shoot up in price soon after the release.
