LTT 3DMark Thread

Depends on how much faster it is than the 980. If it blows it away 699.99 is reasonable

 

Sometimes I like the way you think haha. For that statement you´d get a shitstorm in certain forums around the net . You are right of course but AMD believers think it will be faster than the Titan X or at least on par with it for 500USD.

If you look at the latest moves of AMD´s GPU sector, I personally would fire people in my job if they´d pull moves like that. Where Freesync monitors get released and you can´t use it because the driver doesn´t exist yet, and even when they bring the driver you can´t use it with CF. Meaning the 1440p 144Hz monitor can´t be used fully because there´s no driver available...

For me personally that are reasons NOT to buy AMD. Sorry but I am an enthusiast and I only care about highend hardware, if I can´t use it then it´s useless to me. The benchmarks... yeah I enjoy doing benchmarking, but if we are realistic about it, in game performance is more important.

It´s not that I don´t always tell the people, but then it seems to me that they think, that I want something bad for them somehow. As example I like, that you took the path with the 4way SLI, but IMHO, and I told you that, the move wasn´t the best, because the Titans will outnumber your score by far. You still might stay the top dog in this forum for a long while, since I do not see too many people buy 3 or 4 way Titan SLIs, but this changes big time looking on HWBot or the HoF of 3D Mark. With the invenstment behind that 4way SLI you could have gotten a 2way Titan X SLI and have the better deal by the end of the day, because of a better 2way scaling and way more VRAM.

Personally I'm thinking 599.99 for the 390X and 399.99 for the 390. With those prices it will kill sales of the Maxwell twins

Freesync Driver is next week or so. Its coming soon

Which won´t matter any more, because when they launch in June, I think a good availability will start in July and that means the GTX980 and GTX970 is just about 6 weeks shy from beeing a year on the market. nVidia will answer rather quick with something like a cut down Titan X, which will be cheaper than the Titan X of course, with a bit more performance than the R9 390(X). That nVidia is capable of fair pricing is good to see with the GTX970, GTX980 and their new Shield console.

Actually that driver is announced for March 19th. For me a joke, and not a funny one as enthusiast.

They need to launch sooner. June/July is way too late

That means June .

[ApolloX75]

Well that's just peachy.

 

My CX600M started some coil whine last night, now my GTX 970 stops video output after several minutes of operation. The kicker is I wasn't even running an OC either. Tested it in several other systems and same results. Sigh. Put a spare 7970 into my system, PSU started screaming so I figure it's 12V rail is toast. F*** you Corsair. Strange how they approved my RMA in seconds. Think I'll sell it when I get the new one, and buy another BeQuiet or Seasonic. Got the whole of FrankenPC torn apart again.

 

Still waiting to hear back from Gigabyte, hopefully they'll approve my RMA.

 

Thank the PC gods for gaming laptops.

So first 770 is leaving my grasp on Saturday and will have a new home, The second one is still up in the air. and my CPU/ Mobo I'm considering selling for  Z97 and a 4790k 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

Yeah I know but overclocking with Kepler is so fun still. Special when I can get 1.45v on my 770's Finally.

1.45? Wat wat?

[Raudi_]

1.45? Wat wat?

Softwear Volt mods with Afterbuner

What sort of temps you getting with that?

Don't know I wouldn't run 1.45v 24/7 on air since I'm not gonna take a risk on a GPU that I'm trying to sell.

Just use your 280 and sell your 770

That's what I'm already trrying to do.

You getting a 390X after you sell them off?

Not sure yet depends on the launch price of the 300 series cards.

Well its probably not going to be cheap because of the built in AIO

Anyone expecting less than 699.99 for a 390X is in for a shock

I'm not worried. My single 980 score isn't in jeopardy
