980 Ti

I just overnighted the Gigabyte model from Newegg, then remembered there's no Win10 driver. :(

I hope they have one soon....
 
If that is what the DCUIII cooler is going to look like, then damn...

Too bad the shroud for the EVGA hybrid cooler is fugly.
 
Any reason to spend more for one of the non-reference cards if immediately slapping on a G10 bracket + AIO cooler from current card?

The non-reference cards could have custom power phases and vBIOS that would allow for higher overclocking. The vBIOS is easy for the user to customize, though, so the main attraction is for the aftermarket components.
 
any trick to get these from amazon like last time we did the trick with gtx 970s?

They took the link down but someone saved the link.
 
The reference temp and noise actually look pretty good this time... But I really should just wait a few more weeks.
 
holy shit.. 850€~ for the reference card in my country, where is the cheapest place to buy this online in europe ?

Absolutely,
1) Better GPU power design (e.g. 8-phase)
2) Better and more durable components
3) GPU is more likely to have better overclocking potential due to binning (YMMV).
4) Dual bios technology
 
Oh man, the GTX 980 Ti Arctic Storm looks great!
The GB G1 and the GTX 980 Ti Strix are also on my list.

This is exactly my plan.
I will let the non-reference cards hit the market and maybe I will be able to get a good deal and get two of these babies.

I am happy that I did not pick a Titan X as I want to retire at 60! ;)
 
Sorry its so big. Pulled from evga thread.

Just pulled the trigger the EVGA version on Newegg. :D

It's my first EVGA card and first Nvidia card in years 7+ years, upgrade from a OC'd 290x. I just couldn't wait any longer had to scratch the itch. :p

Can't believe I'm gonna get these babies for $80 per card. I had 8 days left on my step up too!

Wow, that is badass. Your purchase was timed perfectly....well not perfectly, but you know what i mean! :D

Congrats. You won't have to wear earplugs anymore while gaming.
 
Did anyone read in a review whether these support HDMI 2.0 like the 970/980? I only ask because apparently the Titan X had issues with this. I'm using a UHD TV with HDMI 2.0 input for 60hz with 4:4:4 chroma.

According to the Guru3d review I read, it says HDMI 2.0

Awesome, thanks! Cised for this card. Hope the step up queue isn't too bad. I've never used the program before. How bad is it usually for a release like this? 3-4 weeks?
 
I think it'll be a few weeks, worse case - a LOT of people were waiting and ready for this one to drop. I'm sure my desire to sleep cost me a week or more.

So from all non reference solutions which one do you guys think it will dump less heat inside the case ?(minus the hybrid one ofc)

Leaning towards the hybrid but would prefer to avoid water in my pc..

this one for example, doesn't even have a rear vent: http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2015/06/01062943969l.jpg

I'm guessing most are going to be equal, aside from the Gigabyte linked. I'm disappointed the Windforce doesn't at least have rear vents as that was my preferred option.
 
I already tried non reference design with the 970s. Even with 970s being extremely cool running cards the heat inside my case was causing my processor to heat up to 80 C.

To avoid this in the future, this cycle I have opted for blower coolers. My only question is will there be new and faster NVidia cards released by end of this year? If that happens, I will be one pissed puppy.

So is this going to be a full 6gbs or 5.5gbs of vram ?

Full 6gb, if it came with 12gb like the Titan X then it would have been expected to have 10.5gb full speed if they segmented it the same way as the 970.
 
I'm also concerned about cooling this card. The reference cooler really doesn't seem capable of handling much of an overclock at reasonable noise levels after looking at reviews. Any OG Titan, 780 Ti, or Titan X owners living with the reference cooler and a nice OC?

I currently have an eVGA ACX 2.0 cooler in a FT02 without any issues -- there's no problem pushing hot air out the top even with this type of cooler, but little maxwell has less heat to dissipate. The hybrid coolers seem to have a significant advantage at this power point, and they seem to be a decent value compared to buying a bracket and a separate AIO cooler.

yeah.. my two 7950's already dump tons of heat into the cpu/northbridge area.. why don't they make a bigger blower fan for gfx cards ?

I can go up to 1450 MHz Boost (+150 core in MSi AB on EVGA SC) with the reference cooler on my Titan X at 100% fan speed. Card will get up to 82-85C living in a hot climate. I have to play with my headphones on, though, because the fan spins up to nearly 5000 RPM and it's quite noisy. I'm replacing the reference blower with the ACX 2.0+ cooler from EVGA today. If I had the room for another radiator in my case I would have gone with the Hybrid cooler instead. The card needs more voltage to go higher, and I'm definitely not comfortable bumping the voltage with the reference cooler.

Thanks for the reply man. I have room for a hybrid, but I'm very interested in how the ACX 2.0+ goes as I'm still somewhat weary of a pump failure and I'm happy with the sound signature of the ACX 2.0 I have now.
