i wonder how much heat it will output.... *shots fired* i don't like the idea of 300W TDP which is a complete turn off for me i'm trying to bring my own TDP down not up, but that HBM is a good thing for AMD until nvidia releases their own cards with HBM then the playing field with be level again

dear lord...the amount of watches i had to go to walmart to get fixed...they weren't exactly that style of attachment but i killed 3 watches in a year from them catching on things being bumped on a wall and falling on concrete once or twice it was always the pin that came out too because it was set into plastic not metal like yours

closing on 200

 although ive been on here for more than a year...like my sig says i don't always post things but when i do

Gtx 970 is around 350$ in us & 500$ (approx rs.30000) in india.

Dont know about r9 290.

cant buy r9 290's any more last i check on pcpartpicker greyed out unless used somewhere

bringing this thread back from the dead because i see no need to create a new one any way does anyone know if there are reference models of the 980Ti that come with back plates or  where i can buy a back plate to add to the card without a WC block?

You get 5000$ if you join the army!? We don't even get a choice.

not army pffft air force not saying that will be my sign on bonus could be more could be less too

oh, i took ap human geography freshman year, and it was surprisingly easy. i did procrastinate quite a bit in that class, but i doubt euro allows for that.

along with AP psychology also had honors physics and my junior year took chemistry...i love science a tad too much

and i have to take euro and ap english next year.

good luck with AP, i personally took AP psychology great class but ill warn you AP doesn't stand for advanced placement it actually stands for advanced procrastinator...true story i always did my AP homework the night before it was due even though we had homework calendars for the month. yup lazy but i did it and still passed that class with a B

Awesome, did 12 enlisted myself. You'll do well.I know a few airmen, good guys, me I stayed on the ground.

Be well, be safe man and watch your six. 

i'll be staying on the ground as well never been a fan of heights but then again if i have to i will and thank you for your service

Awesome. No worries then  Good luck on the enlistment sounds like your one up from the rest. Are you planning on going Officer? or are you going to stay enlisted?

*edit*

A suggestion if you go Officer, wait till you make your E5 before switching, it'll give you a better foundation in your career on handling enlisted folk. My commander did the same and he was freaking awesome for it.

not officer i plan on doing 4 years(possibly 8 still a long way away and in the air) and hopefully getting a degree in computer engineering with a minor in electrical engineering or something like that to get hired by some big company so i can be behind the next titan or fury or like *insert ridiculous amount of cores on cpu here* computer chip maybe ill be the guy to push muti- threaded games to be common??? something big go big or go home

First off  you have to get thru boot and then thru your job specific training. Don't be like a lot of other greenies and blow your sign-on bonus right off the bat. Invest that money for your future. I have see to many guys in my own unit do this and lose big time in ways that I would rather not repeat here. Just a fair warning for ya. FYI boot is easy in Airforce. 

40K in the stock market already thanks to the parents a long long time ago and only growing(auto reinvest) i don't plan on touching it until i really really need to, wasnt concerned about boot not after 4 years njrotc which means automatic E3 , i dont intend on blowing the whole signing on bonus just a bit of it to spoil myself with because it was a B**** to convince my mom to get my current rig so its kinda like a finger to them but my rig will go to my little brother most likely

grandparents not parents whoops

Congrats man, I think I'm actually going to join the canadian airforce when i get out of high school myself. 

if i get the job i want in the U.s airforce ill be working on computers(replacing dead hardware/ software crashes) in some top secret locations *crossing fingers*

I graduated today too! I am sooooooo glad to never have to go to or see that dumb high school ever again. Well, I may see it from the outside, but I shouldn't have any reason to go back inside. I've hated high school since I entered 9th grade. 

not so much here NJROTC number 1 unit in the nation and I'm going to miss it. Although the people who attended our school...putting it nicely they were not so bright  and most of them sagged which annoyed me

I graduated last week partied so hard I now have 8 stitches and a 2 inch gash on the back of my head.

that's a GG my friend

HYPE

caselabs hype

So, that's the equivilant of what in the UK? Secondary school?

not sure...maybe? if it means not going to public schools any more and going to uni?

I'M GRADUATED NOW! WOOT made it guys now to join the airforce then after boot camp a little treat to myself...a $5000 dollar treat price to performance is going out the window it'll be a few months though 

You are building oil-submerged systems, storage arrays with 36 ssd's, you are messing with sockets and cooling of dual 18 core xeons, you are building a whole room water cooling in an office you will leave...

But when you make a video about something we can actually use or do ourselves, you put it on a paid channel because creating a scrapyard wars about 300 USD computers is too expensive??

i don't think you understand there buddy all those things are sponsored no money came out of his pocket, where as scrapyard wars they don't have sponsors for so anything they do is with their own cash YouTube ads don't make much(as far as i know) and some people still use ad block like D-bags

You can buy 2 980Ti's for like $300 more than 1 titan x there wasn't a question here

Razer is nothing but cheap overpriced plastic that will break in less than a year corsair is durable my mouse is abs plastic with aluminum chassis not going to break anytime soon...just my opinion and yes I have owned a razor product before.

Millions and billions of transistors turning on and off...about all I know

Your point?

AMD has no gpu for that horsepower right now, soooo?

I deem this upgrade unreasonable as fiji is around the corner...

That sounds like a pure waste of money. Gotta be honest. 

you are entitled to your opinion however heat is a major issue with them so ill switch to green AMD is great the original reason i went with amd was the excellent price-to-performance ratio but i didn't think the heat would bother me so its not a horsepower upgrade...(although ill need to start looking at some 4K monitors ) but reduction of heat expelled and less power consumed by only have 1 card not 2

Good, switch to the green team. You don't need those scumbag reds! Joking but shouldn't two r9 290s be similar to a 980ti performance wise? I mean if you sold both 290s then hell yeah I would have done it.

heat wise...nope

great cards(they were amazing) but i'm switching to a 980Ti and then getting a higher res monitor(3 monitor set up) HYPE

Keep the foreigners overseas not in america

Tax here is 7.25% and minimum wage is 8.05 I think or 8.25 not totally sure
