r0ck0 posted:Hmm, thats not very good. My 970 gets 11647, Graphics Score 13701 vs your 13892. Yours gets a little higher score but not what I would consider the difference between a 970 and a 980. I did overclock my card but I would be surprised if it matched a stock 980. Anyone else wanna chime in? Also if you alt-tab you can skip the beginning demo thing, it will say time error or something on the final score but still works. I've got the MSI 980 as well and that seems to match mine on stock settings (though I get a higher physics score due to CPU). The system info reports in 3d mark aren't correct for some reason - my cpu is running at 4.6ghz and I have 16GB of Ram, not 0. I've not really tried overclocking but quickly set similar overclock speeds to your 3d mark for comparison. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4568928 - Stock Speeds http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4569101 - Close to your overclock. robostac fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Nov 1, 2014 |

FuturePastNow posted:My Radeon 5850 died. I'm on a tight budget so I was looking at a Geforce 750 Ti as it looks like about the best card in the price range I can justify spending. I couldn't find any direct comparisons between the two, apart from lists of stats that are obviously comparing very different things. I have a GeForce 670 I'm not using anymore if you're interested. I'd let it go pretty cheap. It's nothing special these days but it would blow away a 750 Ti. You can PM me if interested, otherwise it just goes to Ebay

So I ordered this card last night: http://www.ncix.com/detail/zotac-gtx750-1gb-ddr5-128bit-0c-97350-1765.htm The only other decent LP nvidia card I could find was a Gigabyte 750 Ti and I was worried about noise/cooling with a Ti chip (it's going into an overpowered HTPC that I want to try gaming with to see if it makes a decent replacement for my 360), plus the Gigabyte was significantly more expensive. I'm completely unfamiliar with Zotac stuff though, the fact that they're the brand stocked by Future Shop and Bestbuy and the fact that I hadn't heard of them until I started shopping for LP cards doesn't bode well. Did I make a horrible mistake or are they decent cards?

cisco privilege posted:Yes. People panicked over minute differences between x800's and 6800's when Ultra settings weren't really that different visually from High and also weren't a common feature requirements-wise for other games. Slightly different from now since the console competitors weren't as relatively buff. Oblivion's maybe a better example since it was released at the opening of the last console generation. How many PC's could actually max that out at launch? Probably only a select few extreme high-end systems, although it didn't take long until running it was a relatively simple affair. I was more interested in trying to find some tests that will actually test at my full resolution. Vantage and 3dmark are old rear end tests. As for my title, meh, it costs them 10 dollars to give me some stupid red text, its only 5 bucks to change it back. The MW:O tryhards are mad cause I can afford video cards made in this decade.

Just got my lcd price fixing lawsuit check and tempted by a 980, but i already have a 780ti. Guess it would be better to wait for 20nm parts  edit: http://www.overclock.net/t/1515264/gtx-980-vs-gtx-780-ti-benchmarked-1440p-performance 1440p benches, looks like my higher clocked than his 780ti would be on par with his overclocked 980.

I removed the fan on my EVGA 750Ti SC, leaving the stock heatsink. It doesn't break 80degrees C gaming passive cooled this way - only played SR IV so far on it and other games will probably heat it more, but so far quite impressed. e- if it is throttling, I can't see it (in this game at least). (airflow in the rest of the PC is low - There is a single 900RPM fan set as exhaust, no other fans in the whole thing.) GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Nov 2, 2014 |

We talking about the same class action lawsuit? https://lcdclass.com/ This doesn't surprise me - I felt like LCD prices were ridiculously high for a few years considering how many were being produced. It seemed silly to me that they would be so close to CRT prices for so long when they are relatively simple compared to the mass of high voltage and vacuum tubes in a CRT. I guess yields would have played some part too but it still seemed odd.

Heya goons! Out of curiosity, what overclocks can others get on their 970's? I had a quick look at Anand's results and to be frank, the GPU they had looks like a turd for overclocking, so I wanna compare mine against other goons and see if I'm in the same ballpark.

Anti-Hero posted:What's a good benchmark/burn in program for GPU overclocking? I OC'ed my ref 980 and want to stress test it. Playing games is as good as it gets, but looping any of the common loopable DX11 benchmarks can tell you if it'll run their features or not when things heat up. FluidMark with a ton of emitters has been useful for me in the past, as well. Eventually, though, you play games and figure out which ones are demanding enough to crash your settings or cause noticeable artifacts, and you either get clever with profiles or accept the lowest common denominator

I pushed my 980 to +250 core/+400 mem and froze after about an hour of playing BF4 or Mordor. Bumped it down to 200 core/300 mem and holding steady thus far!

Watch carefully for artifacts in one run and if you can't see anything, you probably wouldn't get any artifacts when you game in the long run. If you want a looping benchmark, I suggest Unigine Heaven/Valley. Put it in max settings and leave it for 3 hours, if it's still running at the end of 3 hours, congrats your gpu is (probably) stable.

My new card may be heavy. The motherboard is old, abused and flimsy, I don't want to put it through more than it will already can barely take. And I just realized that my old light card is sagging because there is a broken part where I'm supposed to screw it to the case. Rough previous owner I guess. EDIT: Nope. The Phi weights 1200 grams. I know that from the datasheets. Different computer, different insanity.

If you have an old flimsy abused motherboard and a broken mount on your case, I would strongly suggest replacing those over buying a $300+ video card. If your board is that bad off I'd be surprised if you wouldn't be CPU bottlenecked anyway.
