Jimlad posted:Just a quick warning for anyone in the UK looking to get a 6xx Nvidia card: be very careful if you're relying on companies to make good on orders at the moment. So far I've had both Ebuyer and Scan take orders for GTX690s that they claimed were in stock, only to go, "Whoops! Guess we didn't have them after all," just before the due delivery date. I've had bad experiences with Scam in particular in the past, but I hoped things had changed (they haven't). My advice is never to order from them but still use their website for comparing products since their website isn't too bad. I have to strongly disagree, in 5 years of dealing with them I've never had a single problem with them or a false stock issue. Overclockers UK on the other hand, are a steaming pile of poo poo.

Verizian posted:^ I've had a problem with two orders from Scan but that was more to do with a lovely delivery company. DPD If I remember correctly. Yeah DPD is terrible, the one downside of Scan to be honest, otherwise their customer service has been top notch for me as well as their prices, most of the time. coffeetable posted:I don't understand how they're still in business. Doing research for my upcoming build, there's not a single component they beat out dabs/aria/scan/novatech/ebuyer/amazon on, and they're usually £10-£20 behind A large group of fanatical followers, some of the poo poo they post on their forums is downright disturbing.

Avoided blowing a load of money on a 680 and bought a second ASUS HD5850 for £80/$125. That should tide my hardware itch over long enough, at least until Haswell is released.

Has anyone had issues with the GTX 780 (320.11) and Far Cry 3? It seems that every other game I've tried runs fine, but Far Cry 3 results in shadow artifacting and the screen getting tinted green.

Agreed posted:I am playing this now to test it out for you, had planned to finish Crysis 3 before starting a new game but what the heck- I'm running the latest WHQL drivers, my GTX 780 maxes out at 1175MHz core and somewhere in the ballpark of 6600MHz VRAM. No issues at all like you're describing (also, this game is so much better than Far Cry 2, holy poo poo). Yeah looking into it, I've read probably some of the same sites as you regarding launch drivers. Guess I'll just wait a while then, shame because other than that the 780 absolutely destroys FC3.

I'm almost tempted to sell my GTX 780 to get a 970 considering I'll never willingly buy any of those games. Extra gig of VRAM would be nice for Mordor and Skyrim.

Gwaihir posted:I got the Gigabyte 980 and pushed it to 1550 core and 8ghz memory initially, but I had to back the memory back to 7.8 because I was getting rainbows in Shadows of Mordor (When lightning strikes illuminated the ground around me the light effect would be rainbow colored instead of white.) For what it's worth, I get that too on rare occasions and my card (not a 980) is at factory clocks. I think it's just a bug in the game.

My friend isn't happy that he can't run GTA V Max at 1080p with his GTX 780. I don't know anything about recent cards so can't offer any advice, so I thought I'd ask here. Should he get a second 780 or try and sell for a 980 (assuming sale of the card covers half the cost). Looking at second hand prices of the 780 the price ends up similar, maybe slightly cheaper to buy a used card. IIRC he has 8GB of DDR3 and a 4570k.

Fiji's FP64 is cut down as all hell like BurritoJustice pointed out but granted it still comes out to something like two to three times that of Maxwell. Whoops, must have misread. I can never wrap my head around AMDs codenames for some reason.

I'll be selling off mine weeks before the first 1070 equivalent release and picking up one of those and hope its good enough to hold me over to the 1080ti release. Unless AMD pulls through. Although I probably won't preemptively sell for that until I see some numbers. I was just going to get the *80 to replace my 780 but getting a *70 then *80 GTi might not be a bad idea.

THE DOG HOUSE posted:No he is buying a 980ti now to avoid buying another 970 to SLI, and then that 980ti will go on to replace what is now a 950 once and if pascal is something he wants to buy. The only thing getting bumped out of the loop here is a 950, and then (and only if he wants to) a 970 to sell after the Pascal release. In the end he will end up with either a 980ti and 970 machine, or a Pascal and 980ti machine. The money "wasted" here is less than it seems when you consider the final outcomes. He doesn't need a 980 Ti for a "console" PC. A sensible consumer would stick with the 970 for 4 months but then again he bought a Titan X so I guess that ship has sailed a while ago.
