Anyone had a chance to test how EVGA 970's perform with the bios update?

Volguus posted:Jetson is a big board. I'd go with an M4 kind of board (or arduino), and optimize the poo poo of my program, and what I can't do there in a reasonable time, talk with a server. K1 is a powerful chip, but it runs on linux (has an entire OS running). An M4 board would be a much weaker cpu, but with no OS, you'd have all the resources at your disposal. And none of them can stand a chance against a desktop machine. Yeah, that is some good advice. I'm going to go with a server and use a Arduino Yun on the drone. Now for the server, for GPGPU what type of card should I be looking for? I've currently got a 560ti that I will use in the meantime, but should I be looking at a Quadro or some other GTX? I don't know how powerful I will need, I can't find much on how individual cards perform with CV, but if I'm looking for raw performance/GFLOPS which card type?

So I'm hoping to be upgrading my graphics card soon and after looking through everything I could my only remaining concern is if I need to be upgrading my power supply at the same time, which I'm woefully uneducated on. Currently I'm running a Corsair 750W with a HD 6970 and looking to upgrade to a R9 280/290. Most of the things I've seen suggests a 750W will be more than enough but having blown 2 power supplies in my life because of being stupid I'm always looking for more confirmation I'm not about to make it 3. I'm only running a single hard drive, an unclocked i5 2500K, and a DVD drive I never use otherwise.

It should be more than adequate if the PSU's not too old. I'm running a 290, a bunch of HDDs, and an overclocked 2600K on an original-revision TX750 for the moment before the Seasonic arrives and it's fine. I'm pulling about 410-450W max from the wall and the 12V rail hasn't budged.

Can someone check Newegg on their own device for me? I wanted to confirm that Newegg literally removed their browsing filters in the Desktop Graphics Card section for specific graphics card make just to make it take slightly longer to find out if GTX 970s are in stock.  You can't even Power Search them. E: Further investigation shows that all chipset tags have been removed, even for motherboards and the like. E- 12 hours later: they're back Sidesaddle Cavalry fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Oct 26, 2014 |

So I'm trying to get a mega Skyrim build functioning for screenshotting at 4K (with nvidia DSR). At 1080p, I'm able to turn off most of the effects so the game runs at 60 fps when I'm setting up a scene. This is the same case at 2160p as long as I stay indoors (where presumably draw distances are short). As soon as I'm in an open area, the frame rate at 2160p drops to < 1 fps, whereas at 1080p it would still be a pretty solid 60 fps. It's also worth noting at as soon as I turn the camera to face a wall even when outdoors, the frame rate shoots back up. In addition to the fps drop, there's also poly flickering. What's the reason for such a disproportionate decrease in performance? Wondering if there's some way I can work around it.

Sounds like you're running out of video RAM and it has to swap to system RAM. As fast as PCIe is, it's totally suck compared to a video card's internal memory bus. Try lowering the DSR ratio.

Newegg is good to see specifics on cards but I'll take Amazon every time for superior shipping and return functionality.

In the past 24 hours I acquired the only two MSI GTX 970 & 908 Gaming cards in western Canada for two friends, installed and overclocked them, and then ran some poo poo with DSR enabled. I can confirm these cards are  My 7870 Hawk weeps as I try to push its overclock higher to compare.

I dunno if anyone else had this problem with their 970 but mine would set its core to a max of 530MHz occasionally when I alt tabbed games. Restarting or disabling/re enabling it in device manager would reset it to normal. It may just be the newest nvidia drivers doing this since it wasn't happening in the older ones. Using EVGA precision and turning on kboost seems to have fixed it without rolling back, so there you go.

In the US it seems that you can get a Gigabyte non-Gaming model 970 or a base Zotac (non Omega or AMP! version) 970 pretty freely, and I believe MSI non-Twin Frozr models are widely available, but good luck finding the ASUS STRIX or the MSI Gaming models anywhere. I haven't seen them in stock for days, and if they do come in it seems to be a very small number that get purchased within a few minutes. What's the difference between the Gigabyte Gaming 970 model and the normal Windforce one? Slightly higher factory OC's?

Why are you going to open everything up and return it to him, sounds like you're loving the guy over. I'm tempted to take his side. I return a lot of cards too but I do that with NewEgg/Microcenter, not the little guy. Also I know you know you can RMA the thing if you put the stock cooler back, no card makers give anyone poo poo over that if you haven't obviously damaged the card installing the aftermarket cooler.

It's not worth it to me to try flipping them on Ebay for a couple bucks with how much hassle ebay has become. The reason I'm concerned with Asus is that they do actually have a sticker on the screw for the heatsink. Plus I have 2 970s on order from Tigerdirect for 323 each. Just need them to hurry up and come back in stock.

Hell, I was gonna sell two MSI 970's to some aussie here for only $50 profit and kinda wasted several hours getting shipping quotes and stuff for him to back out. Returned those to newegg. For what it's worth I've had Asus take back R9 290's with the screw sticker gone but your mileage may vary.

Just to check - two 970s running default SLI will be much better than a single 980, right? I can afford a little more than a single 98' but definitely not two right now. Is it better to pop 2 970s in there, or buy a 980 and save for the second one later? They'll be used for 1080p gaming at most but I want to future proof a bit and to run games at ridiculous Fps

Don Tacorleone posted:Just to check - two 970s running default SLI will be much better than a single 980, right? Assuming the game has a good profile. Also, there is no such thing as future proof. Buy whatever makes the most sense at the time you are looking. Personally I did not see enough of an increase in performance over my 290s to justify 980s. When I sell my 290s I should come out a little ahead but be spending a hell of a lot less on electricity and have the latest and greatest.

They certainly won't be any more expensive in the future, and after looking up your TV model it looks like it won't take 120Hz input so all you need is 60fps @ 1080p.

Yeah do what I am doing, I am running a 1080p monitor at 60fps but I am also trying to run an oculus rift, so I picked up one 970 now, and I'm waiting to grab another one somewhere down the line when I start to feel like either A) my system can no longer play my games maxxed out (which currently with one 970 it can save for badly optimized games like ARMA) or B) the price point drops really low. SLI depends heavily on the correct profiles being released and its a per game basis. I wish SLI wasn't so wishy washy, but I keep hearing that SLI is a perfect solution for VR so I am aiming for that.
