    Your right, I have not seen any loop like this, most of the custom build pc has its own identity and I believe this is one of a kind, the builder was amazing.

    The hybrid card with the EVGA fan is just an updated design to their original hybrid cards. The updated design changed the look of the shroud, blower fan, and added white LEDs to the EVGA logo on the side of the card.

    rx480, you can find it cheaper, it has more vram, higher theoretical performance. 
    from a 650 its a huge leap

    NameDoesNotFi reacted to Cheddle in Watercooled 980ti vs. 1080 vs. 1080ti   
    One thing that reviwers often fail to do is proper, solid, long term custom loop overclock benchtesting... They also have a bad habbit of listing a bit table of comparison frame rates without clarifying the clock rates, cooling, brand or any other detail that is critical to comparing two GPUs - so I thought I would show the differences Nvidias Flagships have made over the years while water cooled. I do have results from a 980 but its only air cooled (if anyone is interested I can add them) ive been collecting some data for some time - ill add more as I go through more benches and find some older 980ti/1080 stuff (no longer have the cards) but see below for some 3dmark comparison.
     
    all of these cards are basically balls to the wall using full cover EK water blocks
     
    the 980ti (1,505mhz) had a 1.23v custom BIOS
    the 1080 (2,114mhz) had a resistor/shunt mod to remove the power limit
    the 1080ti (2,114mhz)  is totally stock and the TDP wall is being hit quite often...
     
    the results I use to draw my conclusions are below: 
     
    Time spy:
    http://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/1384479/spy/1061457/spy/72810#
    Graphics score:
    980ti: 6077
    1080: 8250 (35% on 980ti)
    1080ti: 10931 (32% on 1080 / 79% on 980ti)

    FPS GT2:
    980ti: 34.39fps
    1080: 47.97fps
    1080ti: 63.10fps

    Firestrike:
    http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/12012710/fs/9549548/fs/7381702
    Graphics score:
    980ti: 21483
    1080: 24382 (13% on 980ti)
    1080ti: 31641 (29% on 1080 / 47% on 980ti)

    FPS GT1:
    980ti: 103.88fps
    1080: 117.84fps
    1080ti: 153.31fps

    Conclusion:
    Firestrike is tested at such high framerates that its hard to say if its a very good test these days to use to compare GPU to GPU and draw a conclusion on how this difference will be realised in an actual gaming scenario - if you are looking to replace your 980ti with a 1080ti you might look at the firestrike results and decide is not a very good idea however if you look at the timespy results you might just rush out and buy one... Timespy however is known to be a sort of 'quasi' DX12 test with instructions 'spoon fed' to the GPU rather than, as they would in a game, 'force fed' at the GPU (read more about that here) so again it cant be used reliabily to decide what to do.

    ----
     
    1) tests are showing that the 1080ti is in fact a reliable 30% faster than the 1080 (see here) seeing as these cards have a similar stock to overclocked ratio it is very fair to apply this as a consistant rule to all variations of 1080/1080ti's
    2) tests have shown that AIB cards do not acheive higher clock rates than FE cards (once cooling has been eliminated) - (see here and here) - this further supports the '30% faster being a consistant rule' theory
    3) tests have shown that the 1080ti does in fact just about dobule the performance of the 980ti (here) HOWEVER! the 980ti overclocks HUGELY compared to the 1080/1080ti

    Below I explain why, if you have a 980ti and are looking to upgrade, you should think twice! (you might see above how my 1080 only got 13% firestrike performance over my 980ti... turns out once you add overclocking into the mix, you get some interesting results....

    individual stock vs. overclocked - and why you can trust the reviewers to say "980ti is 50% the speed of the 1080ti"
    stock 1080ti vs overclocked 1080ti (stock air blower vs. overclocked EK-FC WB):

    http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/12012710/fs/12010758
    Graphics Score:
    1080ti stock: 27,743
    1080ti OC: 31,641

    1080 ti overclock percentage: 14.1%

    stock 980ti vs overclocked 980ti:
    Graphics Score:
    980ti stock: 16,923
    980ti overclocked: 21,483

    980 ti overclock percentage: 26.9%

    note: these percentages will be MUCH smaller on an AIB card as they are generally overclocked out of the box by anything from 0-20% over the reference clocks... In my experience AIB cards do not acheive consistantly higher overclocks than reference cards they are just faster out of the box - the silicon lottery is still very much the only thing you can bet on - I've owned three 980ti's, two AIB and one reference - one AIB reached 1,490mzh stable, the other 1,560mhz... 

    to summarise - based purley on Firestrike GPU score:
    stock 980ti vs stock 1080ti: 63% gap
    OC 980ti vs OC 1080ti: 47% gap
     
    conclusion: Always take a reviewers comparison tables with a grain of salt and look to the community for their own findings. Overclocking should always be a thought when choosing a video card. All of the benchmarks listed here are repetable within margin of error and are not outliners/suicide runs with fans set to 100% or anything crazy. 

    NOTE: I didnt double check anything ive wirtten above, have made countless speeling mistakes and used calc.exe to work everything out.

    Never trust a power supply calculator. The only good use for it is if you want a random number because it's essentially a random number generator.
     
    Review websites/benchmarks will tell you that even 750W will be sufficient for a R7 1700 and two GTX 980Tis in SLI that are overclocked. If you're concerned about headroom, 850W is fine but 1000-1200W is just plain overkill (and stupid).
     
    I suggest the Seasonic PRIME Titanium series seeing how you have quite the budget.

    I wouldn't change much, however if you have $1500 for the tower and 2x 980ti + a titan XP laying around I would
     
    1) Send the titan XP to me
    2) Sell the 980ti's and XP cause you don't like/know me which I reckon would net you around $1200 - $1400 if you sell quick
     
    then build the following replacing the 1080 FE's ive used as place holders for 2x 1080ti

    NameDoesNotFi got a reaction from abelmoeljono in Where to build budget PC Vancouver (or ps 4 instead)?   
    Yea, I never have that much time to play all the games, I only played 10 of them, I bought the games when they were on sale, so it stacks up...you can get total 250 hours on a good story line game, and endless hour on online shooting like Destiny.  
    Me and my cousin can definitly play the same game at the same time, let's say the account you have ownership on the game is primary account.  In ps4, you can set your account to bound on a ps4 as a primary ps4, that means you can gain access and play all the games that you have downloaded offline or online on a different log in account.  What we did was the using secondary account to play on the primary ps4, and the primary account just log in and play game, but you do need to be able to connect to the server to play games, otherwise they will forced you to go back menu after 20 mins, saying you do not own the content.

    I would go with the 1700 none x the xfr is not really that good and a manual overclock would need to be done on a 1700x anyway. As for the motherboard, that is the best choice atm. And as you will have everything under water you should have no heat issues in that case.

    That looks like the 1700K is a good value pick other than 1800x than.  Hope I can draw a silicon ticket on 1700x.

    NameDoesNotFi reacted to brob in 1k5 budget for Ryzen 7 without GPU (desktop)   
    The higher TDP is due to XFR. Running all cores at higher speeds is going to increase heat generation. But overclocking a 1700 is almost certainly going to generate as much heat as a 1700X at the same clock.

    SO my faraway cousin from another country sent me a Titian x Pascal gpu as a graduation gift, I have never build a pc in my life and I had been only playing League of Legend + some online games in low settings on my grandma's Hp laptop, in the past few years .  He then encrouged me to build a pc myself with this card.  I MEAN,,,,WHATTTTT?  So this two weeks I had been looking and searching at different pc parts and rig stuff, I am wondering if R7 1700 can handle this card...?  Or I can sell this card and buy a used 980ti hybird Sli from my friend.
