So guys, I searched the internet about this M.2 interface, and I'm really confused about this right now. I'm using a desktop and my mobo has this new M.2 interface support, but I don't know if I should go for a ssd with this interface or other regular one like the great Samsung EVO. Considering I'm looking to buy a 250GB SSD, can someone help me deciding it? Thank you in advance.

I just installed this GPU yesterday. I tested it now with AC:BF and it appears to be GPU limited since because turning on MSAA x8 or turning it off gives 20+ FPS diference.

yeah, nothing changed it... Stress testing right now and it still says x1 3.0

I'm using the top one. Nothing connected on the other PCI-e. There's an option on mobo to save GPU power when not using, maybe I should turn off this feature?

I did that already, nothing changes during the test.

3D Mark 11

But shoudn't it go to x16 during stress test? I checked it when running and nothing changes it

Hello all, I just noticed something weird on the bus interface section of the GPU-z app, I printed and attached. It says I'm running at x1? Shoudn't it be x16? I did the render test option there and nothing changes during the test. I was suspecting my GPU wasn't performing 100% since I'm not able to get 60 FPS on AC Black Flag for example. My rig is: i7 4790k - Asrock Z97 Fatality Killer - Zotac GTX 780 AMP! Edition. Thank you! EDIT: Also, why isn't the Physx option selected? I'm almost 100% sure this GPU supports Physx, something must be wrong!

Hello everyone, I just recently changed my CPU and MOBO, from FX-8150 to i7 4790k. I was expecting a good performance upgrade at CPU heavy games like AC IV or Watch Dogs, I know both are badly optimized, but even though, is it normal that I'm not able to do achieve 60 FPS/1080p locked on both? I can get in some places, but the average is about 40-50 FPS. As the GPU I'm using a Zotac GTX 780 AMP Edition(1006 MHz Core, 1552 MHz Memory) which I believe is a good GPU to max out almost anything. Btw I'm not even maxing any of them, even with no Physx, only 2xMSAA, etc... Also Metro Last Light lags terrible at some places if I have Physx on even though I'm using a Nvidia GPU, I just don't get it!! If anyone can share some light to me, I'd be gratefull. Also, if you have a similar rig, please share your performance on the games mentioned. Thank you

I said offered but it doesn't mean it was free haha, I think I'm going to stick with the asrock, it's a great value, I don't think I want to dive into SLI world (so many games doesn't work well with it) and it has a bunch of cool features that really got my attention. Thanks for your opinion!

the z97 boards aren't that expensive here so it's fine to get one, do you think the asrock one I mentioned on the beggining is a bad choice?

I see, that seems like a good deal, thank you.

I live in Brazil, stuff here is almost 3 times more expansive then on US, so the 4790k is still very expensive arround here, but I'd consider if the diferences were big between this and the 4770k, do you think it's worth it? (4770k here is 391 dolars and 4790k is 484 dolars)

I don't quite get the diference between them, could you point it out for me?

Hello everyone, I'm going to buy an i7 4770k today and I need a new MB to use it. I'm a little short on money so I'm trying to get the best possible value. That said, I also wanted to find a MB that have some features... - SSD Support(M.2) - A good amount of fan readers (I wanted to have 8, but I don't know if I can find one with this much) - SLI Support (I have a GTX 780 but maybe in the future I'd buy another one of this badboy...) - Pretend to overclock CPU to about 4.1 or 4.3 GHz Someone offered me the ASROCK FATAL1TY Z97 KILLER but it doesn't support SLI and I'm also afraid that it quality is crap and/or won't support much overclocking. I'm really new to this MB thing, so I'm sorry if I wrote any stupidity here haha. Thanks in advance for the help!
