    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    Not sure if it's too late for you, but I was able to return my cards to Newegg for a full refund. They offered me store credit at first, and I almost accepted until I remembered that the CSR I was speaking with had no real financial stake, so I remained firm and asked again for a refund. She...

    GTX 970 flaw

    I tried PMing you, but nothing is appearing in my sent folder. If you happen to see this, would you mind PMing me?

    The Official GTX980/970 OC & Benchmark Perf. Thread

    Yeah, I know. I was lying on my couch when I posted the score and was too lazy to walk over to my PC.

    The Official GTX980/970 OC & Benchmark Perf. Thread

    Christ this is annoying. I can't get through fucking valley without getting driver crashes. And now I'm dealing with SLI perfcap (which there is no fucking explanation of anywhere). I was hoping I could just throw these cards in and be good to go.

    The Official GTX980/970 OC & Benchmark Perf. Thread

    Just got my MSIs installed. For some reason it wants to ignore the OC every time a new program is run. My next step is to completely remove the drivers, and do a clean install, although I'm not sure if that would affect the OC. I will say, though, that the MSI cards are a lot quieter than the...

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    Nice. Hopefully mine ships tonight. Maybe I shouldn't have cheaped out on the rush option.

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    Nah, skipped that. I had no idea what it was, and the description sounded like it would only affect orders placed before 12 PM PDT. Oh well, I just hope the delivery is early in the day whenever it does arrive, so I don't go completely insane playing the waiting game at home.

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    Ugh, Newegg never auto-notified me that the MSI 970 was back in stock. Thankfully I read this thread. Can anyone give me an idea about Newegg's shipping? I selected 1 day, so I'm just wondering if there is any chance that my order will be processed and shipped out tonight (unlikely, I know).

    The Official GTX980/970 OC & Benchmark Perf. Thread

    edit: I'm an idiot. These are EVGA SC ACX 1.0 This is what I'm running with right now. In Afterburner, this is what it looks like (too lazy to SS it): Voltage: +37 Power Limit: 110 Core: +120 Memory: +510 It's rock solid in BF4, but I was getting artifacts in Star Citizen (not sure if it...

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    Well, I went ahead and ordered a couple of MSI Gaming 970s from Amazon. Hopefully they ship before my return window is up on my EVGA 970s. Or maybe Fry's or Microcenter will get some of these in store. I could have lived with the inferior cooling, but I keep getting voltage warnings in GPUz...

    970 OC speeds?

    Hey guys, just wondering what speeds you're getting your cards to. Right now I'm running dual Evga 970 ACX 1.0's, and I'm thinking I may need to get a new PSU (I have an old crappy OCZ PSU). I've been able to get them up to +120 on the core speed, and +515 on the memory speed in Afterburner...

    GTX 970 SC ACX SLI has arrived from amazon.... but....

    Yeah, same cards. I'm using Afterburner and they're idling at 35%, and max when I was in BF4 was 57%. It's a ribbon-type. I have a hard 3-way from an old Asus mobo, but it doesn't align with the spacing of the cards. I may try to get one from a friend or just go pick one up somewhere.

    GTX 970 SC ACX SLI has arrived from amazon.... but....

    I'm using the SLI bridge from my Gigabyte UD5H. My monitor is a Shimian, so I'm running at 1440p.

    GTX 970 SC ACX SLI has arrived from amazon.... but....

    My fans are working normally, but for some reason the only thing I can run so far in SLI is BF4. Everything else (Unigine, 3DMark, Metro 2033) has a weird green screen effect. Actually I tried to grab a screenshot right now and it's now a blue flickering or some shit. It's not really artifacting...
