Hello good people! I just found this thread, and I was thinking between Samsung 970 Evo Plus or Corsair MP510 1TB capacity to purchase. Given the recent revelations about manufacturers switching parts in SSDs with expense to performance, which one of those two is worth buying, or is there anything else worth considering that has close performance to advertised numbers and longevity like those two models in the high end spectrum.

Hey, guys! I will need your opinion on this problem. Two days ago I decided to sell my 6 month old EVGA 970 FTW+ to a friend of mine, so he can get upgrade from his 770 and I upgrade to Pascal. My PC specs are Asus z97-Pro WiFi mobo, i7 4790k and some ram, other specs not that much relevant. I use this GPU with my monitors connected through a DP(both of them).Dell U2414H 60Hz 1080p and Acer XB1 165hz 1440p. On my side 970 FTW+ works perfectly, never had any issues or black screen or no boot or any of that stuff. My friend PC specs are: Asus z97m-plus mobo and i7 4790 non K and for monitor BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz 1080p. I went with the card freshly unplugged from my PC, still warm from playing Overwatch just a moments ago. Installed it, and because his monitor has only DVI-I input, VGA and HDMI, I plugged in the DVI and started the PC. Got screen message NO SIGNAL DETECTED. And from there the five hour struggle began. There was a second monitor he had prepared that has only VGA (very old 4:3). I used that to plug it in the Mobo VGA, and voalha, there was the signal but on lower resolution. I restarted the PC and for my surprise, it booted on the main BenQ monitor. I checked the Device manager and GPU was detected there. Restarted once more, then OH CRAP, PC got signal from Mobo again and when it got into Windows it was detecting only the Intel Integrated GPU and no 970 in the Device manager. I did everything, uninstalled nvidia drivers with guru3d uninstall software, even at one point in safe mode - no success on fixing. I started reading all kinds of stuff in forum from people - some suggest clear CMOS or remove bios battery, did that - no change. Flashed the bios to the newest version - no change. Even got to the point of reinstalling Windows 10 - still no fix. Went into bios to switch for the graphics to use PCI-E for the main monitor instead of Auto setting (weirdly only this setting in the bios didnt want to be saved after F10 and always reverted to the default AUTO) And this problem continued to the end, I start the PC from shutdown - it doesnt recognize the GPU, restart the system - it appears. Restart again - it is gone, restart ones more- it appears again. It was constantly switching between output source from integrated GPU and nvidia GPU after each restart. There was one other Dell monitor that we brought that had DVI - HDMI cable. This problem was the same when I plugged the HDMI end in the GPU and the DVI end in the Dell monitor. Then we decided to install back his 770 and there was no problem at all. I packed my GPU and went back home. Opened my case, installed the 970 and it was perfectly fine. That was the worst nightmare I had with PC hardware for so many years.The most weird thing is that the CPU and Mobo are from same generation and manufacturers for both systems - his and mine, and I dont have any problem and this is only on his PC. I would appreciate if you have any other suggestions in this matter. Thanks!

Two days ago I bought Acer XB271HU, it was upgrade from my relatively new Dell 24" 1080p monitor. I could say that I bought it with a lot of concern about the build quality, back light bleed, dead pixel and other things, because there is no good review of it out yet, not even in reviewing sites. All i did was reading customer reviews in forums and amazon. I can gladly tell that this monitor is near perfect, had no issues with dead pixel after my thorough inspection, back light bleed was non present, there only was same little IPS Glow only in the down right corner noticeable on pure dark screen. Out of the box it was set to 80% brightness, this thing can burn your eyes in the night. So I found my sweet spot to be in the outrageous 20% brightness. Since that the experience with the high refresh rate and Gsync has been live changing for me. The OSD is not as bad as people explain it, after going through it 2-3 times now it does not bother me at all. In conclusion this monitor is worth buying every piece of money you give.

I think I got solution for now! I opened nvidia Control Panel > Change resolution > lowered the Acer main monitor to 120Hz Then in the Manage 3D Settings in Global Settings I cheked the line that says Preferred refresh rate - Highest available, Power management mode is still - Adaptive. In the Acer OSD there is a setting to see the refresh rate as an overlay on the screen and on desktop it is 120Hz and the clock on the GPU is as low as it can be 135/324 - GPU/memory. My main concern was that the games may run and 120Hz as well, they do but only if they are in windowed mode or borderless window. I launched CS:GO to check on numbers, vsync is OFF of cource. Monitor refresh rate overlay jumps to 165Hz, if I alt+tab, switches to 120Hz. If I change the video settings to windowed mode overlay says 120Hz, when I switch to fullscreen goes back to 165Hz. Also tried GTA 5 but it runs between 40-60 fps with that res and settngs so the refresh rate overlay changes accordingly to the fps, because.... gsync, you know! So in conclusion I only changed the refresh rate of the screen to 120Hz from 165Hz. After launching a game it switches automagically to highest available from the panel. Oh, and my second 1080p monitor ran at the whole time monitoring Afterburner. So, yeah, try it for yourselfs and give me feedback in successful.

I know that thread from PCper and it is already half an year old, I thought till now nvidia would have fixed that thing. Damn, maybe I should have stayed on AMD. Or find a way to force 120Hz when on desktop use and higher in games.

Just found a topic on reddit with a comment from a month ago that suggests the same thing, to do fresh install of the drivers and set Nvidia Control Panel "Power Management" from "High Performance" to "Adaptive".

Almost same here, 165Hz main and 60Hz secondary. Previous was dual 60Hz monitors. Anyway it is still strange since this problem was apparent on my old GTX 570 with dual 1080p 60Hz monitors.

Yea, but I ran multiple display setup before that and this problem was not present.

Hey, guys! I need some help from You. I have EVGA 970 FTW+ GPU and it has been awesome card for now. I used it with dual monitor setup, one was 24" DELL 1080p the other was an old IPS Eizo 4:3 1600x1200, the Dell was connected through DP and Eizo with DVI cable. I had no problems with it at it ran fine for my video editing needs. Two days ago I bought an Acer XB1, which is with awesome quality (very little back light bleed in the down right corner that is noticeable only on black screen), never had high refresh rate monitor before and right now I felt like reborn. So I ditched the 4:3 Eizo and left with 1080p Dell and 25x14 Acer, hooked up with two DP cables. I noticed that when I turn on the second monitor that is now the Dell 1080p my GPU clock speed and ram clock goes 975Mhz/3500Mhz respectively and temps rize to 50C and stay there at all times. When I turn off the second monitor everything goes back to normal. I've seen this problem before with a GTX 570 and dual 1080p monitors setup on it as well and never found a solution. I would really like to find an explanation for this bug and a fix, so Your help will be greatly appreciated.

True that mate. I my self am using three NF-A14 in my R4 case. The cost of them is almost as the cost of the case, but what can I say, I strive for perfection. Still I saw great improvement in airflow in the case and you know that R4 is not that optimized for airflow (quiet is priority for me). Those fans are whisper quiet and not that loud on max RPM (I use mine with LNAs). So, yeah... I will buy Noctua as long as I can. I'll just drop that CPU cooler is also the same brand (NH-U14S push/pull).

If you read closely the raw specs for both fans you will see that both of them have excellent static pressure and great airflow. So they are best of both worlds.

Definitely looking for some new mouse that can fit my large hands.
