  1. A stream processor = GPU core & CUDA core = a type of stream processor. Some (CUDA accelerated) applications are designed to take advantage of CUDA cores for GPGPU work.
  2. Another 770 or SLI 780's Don't even look at 3way 770s.

    AMD R9 285

    Freesync = codename for AMD's technology (GPU hardware + drivers) that enables Gsync-like features on DisplayPort 1.2a AdaptiveSync ready monitors. So far, the 290, 290x, 285, 260x & 260 fully support it. Have to wait for new monitors, there will be a price premium but we are told it'll be less than Gsync.
  4. It's pretty damn innovative on the inside.
  5. I always thought the definition was pretty simple. Think of it this way. Gaming is to a gamer, as hiking is to a hiker, fishing is to a fisher, or photography is to a photographer. I can often go hiking or fishing or photographing, but wouldn't consider myself a hiker or fisher or photographer until the pastime become more of a passion.

    5k monitor

    Yeah, you might be right. I was confused thinking about G-sync and mutli-monitors for some reason.
  7. My CPU is older & built on larger manufacturing process so 1.4v is safe & will remain cooler. As semiconductor manufacturing processes shrink so does the max safe volts. A 4790k at 1.4v will get too hot anyway.
  8. CUDA core = Nvidias name for their stream processors, no difference.

    5k monitor

    Especially when it only takes a month or two for that recently bought 4K monitor to be made 'obsolete'... '
  10. It will help. 1.3v gets hot but once you have your overclock set and tested temps will be fine while gaming. Go with a H100i/H110 if you want to be extra safe. My OC is 1.4v, it hits ~85C when stress-testing but only ~65C when gaming.

    DayZ Losing faith

    And didn't they announce it for console? It'll get finished.
  12. There is a tab of plastic on the 4pin that prevents you connecting it incorrectly.
  13. For 4K you'll need atleast SLI. Both 4K monitors and another 780Ti will only get cheaper. Buy the new GPU when/if you get the 4k monitor.
  14. 780/780Ti will be dead in the water. Nvidia can always sell Gk110 chips off as Titans or Quadros, so they won't care. The 285 is more, "we need mid-range Hawaii GPUs for 'Freesync'" than a go-between. I doubt AMD will release anything until the die-shrink. And if the 990 is ~780Ti-performance, the way Nvidia competes is with pricing, and they'll have plenty of wiggle room if the rumored specs are correct.
  15. Smaller die & 265bit bus = less complex PCB = ~GTX680 launch prices? If not, we are being rorted.

    5k monitor

    Yeah, maybe, but I know no recent Nvidia cards have 2x DP.
  17. That's like, the entirety of Australia's bandwidth to the rest of the world.
  18. Yep, they only draw as much power as the system is using.

    5k monitor

    Lol, using 2x DP for input means you're required to have 2 GPU's to run this monitor at it's native resolution & refresh. The Dell 32" 4K is on sale for $2300 here. It launched at well over $1000 more than that. Price drops are coming fast!
  20. Bit late, but... The i-series fans kick in at just 30% load, 40% lower than the non-i versions. Technical measurements of the i-series are marginally better than the non-i versions, but both versions are so over-built you don't have to worry about quality for either.
  21. I'm pretty sure you can not RAID 2 M.2's, they are each wired to different parts of the board. Yes they are bootable, there should be a setting in the UEFI/BIOS.
  22. Browns. Just enough tactility, actuate and reset at the same depth, music to my ears...
  23. Hey You wouldn't remember how are the rubber grommets were in the 450D would you? Flexible & soft (feel high quality) or hard & rigid? Cheers
