    I'd prefer it to be new, but I guess it would depend on what the specs of it are.

    Suggestions for a professional color monitor

    Hey guys, its been awhile since I've gone monitor hunting ever since I got my PG278Q. I recently got into photo editing and I need a monitor that produces colors accurately. I will be editing photos to have them printed. Do you guys have any suggestions that would fit the following criteria...

    120mm case fan recommendations?

    As good as they are, I can't use those fans because they don't fit the theme of my build. And I think the industrial black noctua versions are way too overpriced. In the end, I chose the new Fractal Venturi HF12 and HF14. I saw some reviews on it and decided it was pretty darn good for what it...

    120mm case fan recommendations?

    Does anyone know of any good case fans for pure airflow? I just bought 12 GT's for my rads and I have 2 free spaces for a 120mm intake and a 120mm exhaust fan. I prefer the quiet fans with decent airflow.

    Asic quality is 78.2%. I'm not using any specific bios, I worked with someone on overclock.net to mod the bios. This is only for the EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified. Flash at your own risk. 1455.5 mhz boost / 7012 mhz memory 150% power limit...

    Post your GTX 980 TI Overclock Results

    So I've done some further testing on my 980 Ti Classified and it seems that I am able to play games with no crashes at all on 1514.8/8552. Playing Witcher 3 for 3 hours will yield temperatures as high as 77C. Heaven running for 7 hours will get me as high as 79C. These temps are with an...

    Post your GTX 980 TI Overclock Results

    Compared with my previous Gigabyte G1 980 Ti, the EVGA Classified does run a few degrees hotter. I had that one on with a modded bios which boosted to 1481 which I overclocked to about 1495. After a few minutes in heaven, the G1 temps would reach about 73. This was around 75% fan usage. The...

    Never mind, it seems that my fan curve is set to around 85% in that temp range. But it does still hover around 76-77C a few minutes into Heaven at 1440p.

    Post your GTX 980 TI Overclock Results

    Just got my EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified today. Here are some benchmark results: I loaded up heaven in the background to show load clocks. These clocks are benchmark stable, I haven't tested regular gaming yet. Surprised the memory OC'd so high. Temps reach about 77C max with fan at 100%. Can't...

    Need small lightweight monitor for rig testing

    I build new systems for friends and family every once in awhile so lugging around a heavy and bulky 17 inch square LCD back and forth can sometimes be a PITA. Does anyone have a small and lightweight space saving monitor they can recommend me? Resolution does not matter, but it does need to...

    At this point 980 Gtx owners wait for Pascal or switch over to Ti?

    Why does ASIC matter so much? My GTX 980 Ti HOF has a 79.4% ASIC quality and it cant OC past 1450 mhz boost for its life.

    GALAX GTX 980 Ti HOF Air-Cooled Preorder

    It does feel like it is not performing on par with the HOF branding, and at this point I feel like I should have waited for the EVGA Classified or gone with a different brand. With the voltage being locked to 1.2 there's really nothing I can do other than wait for a modded HOF 980 Ti BIOS. Btw...

    GALAX GTX 980 Ti HOF Air-Cooled Preorder

    Upon further testing during gaming, it seems even a 40 mhz clock was too much for longer term stability. I defaulted back to stock clocks, which isn't bad since it boosts to 1430 mhz normally. Here is a screenshot of my GPU-Z

    GALAX GTX 980 Ti HOF Air-Cooled Preorder

    My first impressions: The card seems to have a voltage limitation of 1.2v. I only get a +40 mhz overclock which leads to a 1470 mhz boost clock, anything higher will result in immediate crashes. While I did not test long term stability, it passes FireStrike Ultra with a score of 4667 (i7 4770K...

    Been out of the loop for awhile.

    At that price point AMD cards would be a better buy such as the R9 380 or the R9 280X since they have the better performance but if youre going Nvidia you have two likely options: 1. New 4GB GTX 960 2. Used GTX 970 I would probably recommend EVGA if you care about the best customer...

    Separate refresh rate for games vs. desktop?

    Doesn't matter what your desktop refresh rate is as long as you game in full-screen. You can usually set the refresh rate through the game's settings but if that isn't available you can edit the settings under program settings in the Manage 3D Settings tab. You'll be out of luck if you use...

    Quoting this exactly from the 2nd link you provided: "4K definitely demands more VRAM out of GTA V. We saw maximum usage come near 5GB with maximum in-game settings. Therefore, 4GB VRAM video cards will be a bottleneck in this game at 4K." Titan X is a single card yet its hitting 4.7GB and...

    Best Nvidia AIB company?

    Based on previous launches of the HOF series would it be safe to say that the 980 Ti HOF will be around 750+ USD?

    Best Nvidia AIB company?

    Is Galaxy still selling cards in the US under a different name? I feel like the Galaxy HOF series were just about the equivalent of Sapphire's Vapor-X in terms how nice the coolers looked.

    Best Nvidia AIB company?

    Personally, I've only bought from Zotac and EVGA. I found that EVGA has the best customer service but high prices while Zotac has the lowest prices with decent performance. Does anyone else have opinions on the other nvidia AIB companies? How are the ASUS, MSI, or Gigabyte cards in terms of...

    Ultrabook displays: Which resolution scales the best at 13.3 inch?

    Well, I am intending on using Eclipse IDE and I hear that the programs buttons do not scale correctly. People are saying the icons are so small to the point that its unreadable. I hear 200% scaling is fine with text, but it seems like the majority of the complaints come from things being too...

    Ultrabook displays: Which resolution scales the best at 13.3 inch?

    Right now it seems like 3200x1800 (QHD+) is all the craze for the high end ultrabooks. But when I see all the horrible scaling issues people seem to be getting during web browsing and use of certain programs, it makes me want to turn away from it. Windows 8.1 isn't known for scaling too well on...
