Guess what just arrived!!!!

Asians?

Asians?

I'd appreciate if this thread would not get spammed. If you want to collect posts just go to General Discussions, thank you.

It was just a small joke but what ever.

With programs like MSI AFterburner or EVGA PrecisionX you are not bound to brands. These programs work with any GPU. In other words EVGA's Precision X works just fine with a Gigabyte card .

Thanks!

Just ordered mine... Hope CenterCom doesn't screw me. Thank frak for living around the corner from their store.

I just got my new EVGA Titan X SC today, and waterblock arrived as well. Got it hooked up to my 1680x1050 monitor! lol!

Waiting for the XB270HU to arrive this month, would be the perfect pair!

[HatallaS]

Is a 850w enough for sli?

[Kanuck]

Waterblock is on. It's sharing a 360XTX radiator with the 4790K @ 4.6GHz and the temps are stable around 40C under load and fans at 1000rpm - nice and quiet.

 

I can't get it stable up at 1500MHz Overclock tho. I settled on 1450-1480MHz for now with default ram speeds. With no core OC I can get the VRAM up to 8000MHz but there is little benefit in that compared to a core OC. Also, half the VRAM chips are on the back side of the PCB with no contact with the watercooling block.

 

Any other suggestions? A BIOS with more volts? My ASIC is only 69% so I think it would like more volts.

If running them under water and plan on overclocking the snot out of them, then you'd be safer with 1000watts.

69% ASIC is a very good ASIC for watercooling but with a mod BIOS each of my cards is allowed to draw 400 Watts. An 850W for 2 cards with heavy OCs is not sufficient.

The cards won't draw all the time that much power but the peak will be too high and the your system gets unstable.

So I'm gonna ask you guys here, do you think it's worth it to wait a year or so for Pascal GPU's or just stop procrastinating and pick up a Titan X? I only game at 1440p so I'm not sure the Titan X is a good purchase but then again I kinda only want it to say I have it, but I know when Pascal comes out I'm gonna want that too

Yes, even for 1440p it's still a good buy! You never know if you'll upgrade to 4K, I am!

Even for 1440p the Titan X is a big improvement. You will get in ULTRA way better minimum FPS over all other GPUs on the market out there.

And besides that, there'll be always coming out something new, if you live by that philosphy you could wait forever. Wait until next year if you can buy a powerful GPU now? Up to you, but I have seen you raving back an forward in multiple thread about Titan X.

 

Make up your mind and think about what kind of monitor you are dealing with. You run a single GTX980 on a 144Hz G-Sync monitor, the Titan X will be definitely a big improvement over the GTX980.

I gotta agree with this, you can wait forever because new cards come out almost every 6 months like clockwork, you'll always be waiting and missing out. I am doubtful the 390x will beat the Titan X and have less ram to boot, the 395x2 however should be better but that is a dual card and well doesn't count in my book. If you go AMD you want to go with 2 390x cards, 2-way 390x IMHO should be better than a Titan X but not by much or currently perform "better" if anything should be the same in most cases. But 12GB of vram is hard to pass on...

If he'd buy the R390X he would kind of screw himself over, because he owns a G-Sync monitor. So in order to make it right either stick with nVidia or sell the GTX980 and the Swift and buy a R9 390X with a Freesync at least 1440p monitor.

I will not buy another AMD card, I owned crossfire 7970s and had a horrible experience with them not just crossfire issues, the cards were horrible overclocked couldn't get +30 mhz on the core with out them becoming unstable, they both had horrible coil whine one so bad even at idle I had to turn my comp off to sleep I haven't had a decent Radeon card since the x1600, I also adore g-sync so yah I'm sticking with Nvidia. I think Imma bite the bullet and get a TX tomorrow (anyone wanna buy a 980? )

Tell you the truth my AMD experience was pretty much the same, only difference was that it was a R9 290X and I could OC it a bit further. But it was not a good and satisfying experience overall. I bought that card at its release back in the day to see if I liked the GTX780Ti or the R9 290X better. Wasn't hard to decide .

 

G-Sync in incredible... it's so smooth and feels like you have never gamed before for real.

If you are about to sell the GTX980, I can tell you that I got my cards on ebay sold for 450USD in a matter of minutes, if you sell it for a bit more I don't think that you'll sit on it for too long.

Wow, I am really impressed with your setup  Nice Job!  I was in the market for 2 Titan X's but my priorities have changed.  My dog just tore his ACL and so far the surgery is going to cost me over 4000, not including pain meds...... Oh well

Man, I'm sorry to hear that.  Hope things turn out well for the little guy.

Man your machine looks amazing. I´m glad that there are people like you and I that enjoy building such extreme PCs and not only go for looks but also high performance .

 

Like I always mention. Is it too much to ask for performance and killer looks?!?

My sentiments exactly!

[Baldingmadness]

Just purchased 2 of them. Can't wait to get them here. Anyone know somebody that wants to buy EVGA GTX 980's SC?
