    The build quality on the AMP and AMP Extreme is pretty good. I love mine, I had to buy a bracket thought because even with armored PCIe slots, the AMP Extreme was still sagging

    Hmm...that's odd. Try a fresh install because I can do +175MHz on the GPU core clock with the same card. It runs at 2100MHz

    As Prysin said, a single 1080 could max out GTA V at over 60 fps. If you want to get a 2 1080s in SLI or a Titan X, then go ahead. I was just basing my answer off of your requirements.

    Honestly, I've read the whole thread and some of this stuff that you're saying just isn't making sense to me...but to answer your original question...If you wanted to set the draw distance all the way up to eat up the vram then you would need a Titan X because that is the only Nvidia Geforce card with more than 8GB of vram. As others have said though, this is complete overkill for 1080p and it's not needed at all.

    Have you looked at the temps of the GPU? VRMs could be overheating. If that's the case then you could have one of EVGA's affected units. I doubt it'd make that huge of a difference but it could be an issue.

    Did it just start happening randomly or has it been doing that since it was installed?

    I run a 1070 on the predator x34 and it runs Gears of War 4 on ultra at 60+fps...some dips under 60 though. I'm about to try Titanfall 2 in a few. 1080 would be better but 1070 is definitely enough to handle the resolution. I have H1Z1 but havent played since I bought the monitor. Overwatch plays over 100fps on epic settings.
  8. JoshM813
    There is probably a setting in those games that you have enable that's limiting to 60FPS, however, to be dipping down to 20-30 FPS in Gears sounds odd...I'd think the CPU would be fine but maybe it is bottlenecking. If you can, try to overclock your CPU.
  9. JoshM813
    I was using Overwatch as an example, there is a different setting from V-sync that can and will cap your FPS to your monitor's detected refresh rate. That is what I was saying..so yes, I was reading. Did you run Firestrike or Timespy to compare your results like another poster suggested? Also, to answer an earlier question you asked about overclocking the memory. Go into the BIOS and find where your XMP profiles are and select what speed you want to run. Apply the settings and make sure that the system detects all of your RAM and that it applied the speed you wanted. If it does then boot into the OS and run a memory stress test to be sure it's stable.

    We'll if it helps, 2 founders edition 1080s is roughly equal in power to 3 Titan Xs so I'd assume 2 Strix 1080s would probably be better than 3 Titan Xs Courtesy of JayzTwoCents:

    So that doesn't seem to be the problem. at least in my opinion. I'd double check all the in game settings to make sure everything is correct and to turn down whatever form of AA it is, because you don't need it to be x8 or x16 on 4k. I'd make sure it's off or x2. Also, I'd double check what you're referencing because 50+ fps on GTA V on a 1070 doesn't sound possible .
  12. JoshM813
    What's the speed the GPU is boosting to at 100% load?
  13. JoshM813
    Haha it's no problem. I'm guessing using HDMI worked then. If so then it's like I said, the other cable or adapter is bad.
  14. JoshM813
    If that still doesn't work then check your pins on your socket just in case one of them got bent.
  15. JoshM813
    The RX460 you have doesn't have an hdmi output?
  16. JoshM813
    Does the system power off on its own or does it stay on? Also have you tried just hooking it up to a tv or different monitor w/ an hdmi cable just to see if that cable or adapter is the problem?
  17. JoshM813
    It never posted? Or did it POST before and now it's just not getting a signal
  18. JoshM813
    It made it easier for a higher stable overclock due to it being able to draw more power.
  19. JoshM813
    8G has standard 1080 BIOS, and the O8G has a custom ASUS BIOS I believe is really the difference. I could possibly wrong but I remember reading that somewhere.
  20. JoshM813
    You uninstalled the previous drivers before installing the new ones? I know that can sometimes cause issues when going from one GPU family to another.
  21. JoshM813
    Strong build. Why Founder's Edition 1080 though? Also if you were curious here was the results I got once the temperature in the Kraken stabilized.
  22. JoshM813
    I had it for 15mins there. I believe that I was stress testing those 3 things aswell. I was just running a fairly aggressive fan curve. Not like 90% the whole time but it definitely wasn't quiet haha. I'll be home in about an hour and I'll run it again I'll PM a screenshot.
  23. JoshM813
    Geez. I never tried pushing it that far. Maybe whenever I do my custom loop but that probably won't be for a year or so. I do have more room for overclocking with my Kraken. My CPU Temps were stabilized at 56°C on AIDA64 stress test.
  24. JoshM813
    Thanks. It was my first build. I actually had the overclock higher but I didn't really want to go higher than 1.3v on the vcore at the moment. I did get it stable at 4.48GHz but I didn't want to leave the vcore at 1.34. I know that's not that high but it just wasn't what I wanted. Now you...you have a strong build...and that's not understatement.
  25. JoshM813
    Honestly, I was in the same predicament as you and I went with the 6800k with the ASRock Fatal1ty Professional Gaming i7...despite the price it's a pretty good board.
