Yep. I don't even have new games to try with my GTX 980. I just wanted to see how powerful it is. I bought the EVGA SC and it OC'ed to 125%, +80 GPU, +350 mem. Not bad!
I face palmed when I saw the post you replied to. Like if a tv feed is more useful than a server with Petabytes of movie and picture files.
aye aye aye
and yes, IT look under the sheets when bored.
I have had both semi highest end cards availble in the begining of this year.
780 ti
and
290x
I loved the 780ti but since I am a battlefield fiend, I swapped it for a 290x to try mantle. I have barely noticed the difference but in return I got to save $150 BUT even though my 290x is a Sapphire...
IMO the 290x series are loud anyway you cut it -- custom fans and all.
I get loud coil whine on mine and since it's the only GPU I have, I'm going to have to live with it until the next gen.
