    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

    I ran straight through the first village in W3 yesterday and it looked like it was more in the mid-70s for me (granted I've not played the game at all so no idea how it performs in combat, etc.). This was on Ultra with hairworks off and in-game AA off. I'm using ReShade to inject SMAA rather...

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

    I tried Witcher 3 a few days ago on Ultra, but can't remember now, I can check later today (I'm just at the beginning, I was waiting to upgrade to play it), but I do remember it was very noticeably smoother than with my 980 non-Ti - I wanna say it was mid-60s but don't hold me to that until I...

    GeForce Game Ready Driver 382.05 - WHQL is out

    I have no idea how it performs with Prey, but at least this one seems - note seems - to have resolved the issue with the garbled red line and black screen at cold boot that was happening every other boot on the previous driver. I swear, Creators Update on W10 has been a bit of a mess on the...

    Should I repaste my MSI 1080Ti Gaming X?

    I mean, unless the thing is thermal throttling constantly or just hitting unreasonable temps I don't know what the point is tbf.

    NZXT Kraken X52 All-In-One CPU Liquid Cooler Review @ [H]

    Seeing as how the Liquid Freezer 240 is touted as an option, it would be interesting how it compared to the X52 in the performance tests in ONLY a two fan push or a two fan pull rather than push/pull. Particularly for those of us that don't have the room in our cases for the full push/pull...

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

    Yeah, not showing any issues bumping it up to +60. Haven't gone any further yet. I don't tend to overclock my GPUs anyway so will likely let it live there for a while.

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

    My Gaming X is only hitting a boost of about 1900 out of the box when playing Witcher 3 in 3440x1440 if the CAM performance overlay is to be believed (for some reason Afterburner and Riva's overlay has stopped working for me, need to work on that). This seems lower than some people's...

    New Performance Benchmark from Unigine

    This benchmark seems really buggy to me. All the 16:9 resolutions automatically stretch (or are rendering?) across my entire ultrawide monitor (3440x1440), and when I try to pick the actuala 3440x1440 resolution the screen goes red and I have to ctl+alt+del out of it and it apologizes for...

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    Well, Amazon didn't ship my Gaming X yesterday, but it's in "Preparing Shipment" and still says it will arrive Tuesday, so we'll see. I hope that holds, I'm anxious to see how Baldur's Gate 2: EE performs with it.

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    The specs say it can take a 120mm fan on the bottom, not sure where though since I don't have it yet. I'm not sure how much more that would help since you already have 2x 140mm in the front though. I'll be moving from a Silverstone FT-02 so it will be quite a bit smaller and I'm certainly not...

    What 1080 Ti AIB card are you getting and why?

    If you have the Define C you can add a number of fans that don't come default, including to the top and bottom which may help (I think I'll replace the front with a 140mm fan as well). That's the case I'm planning to transfer my system to with the 1080Ti so it's good to hear your experience with it.

    1080ti Pre-order, Retail, and AIB availability watch

    That's an RVZ02, right? I have the same case and was wondering if the Gaming X would be too wide for it or not. Good to know it fits though. What kind of clearance are we talking about for the fans up against the vent? I leave my filters on, so I'm assuming that wouldn't cause a problem?

    I tend to not overclock anything anymore (particularly in my m-itx build), just can't be bothered, lol.

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

    Sounds like I'd still be better off going with MSI, the Gaming X has treated me well on the 980 (though I haven't use a 980 Ti). I'm right at the limit of the recommended PSU though since it's (initially) going in a m-itx build using a 600W Corsair SF600 PSU.

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Discussion Thread

    Is the FE card using a cooling solution specifically for the 1080 Ti? I'm wondering if the partner cards may end up being louder since the initial releases all seem to be reusing 1080 cooling solutions without any tweaks while the Ti is higher TDP.

    Gigabyte Z97 UD5H problem

    If you can't see anything, worst case I suppose is it's damage you can't see inside your power supply. Was the smoke coming from the PSU exhaust?

    Looks like I have to reinstall Win8 to claim my Win10 upgrade

    I did try sfc /scannow, but it finishes and reports there were some files it couldn't repair or replace and to examine the log file for details. The log file is so dense I think it would be faster to wipe and reinstall than read through it, haha!!

    Looks like I have to reinstall Win8 to claim my Win10 upgrade

    I've tried any number of tutorials and potential fixes, but still about four or five Windows Updates always seem to fail, including the one that includes the update and one back in the KB29xxxx range. The KB29xxxx seems to prevent a number of others from updating as well. I knew this was an...

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    I love how the twitter account suggested someone experiencing problems with stuttering on a 970 install Geforce Experience to get "optimizations." This nonsense is pathetic.

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    More like Nvidia is trying to get a piece of decent sounding PR out in the press by using average measurements rather than revealing instantaneous frametimes that would actually reveal the tearing and jutter that results from the 970's memory setup.

    Lose DSR over HDMI when upgrading driver?

    I posted this on the official Nvidia forum as well, but I thought I'd inquire about it here too. I've been using DSR perfectly fine over HDMI through my AV Receiver and to my HDTV up until I replaced my 680 with a 980 and upgraded from 344.48 to the latest driver, 347.09. At first I thought it...

    anyone here order the MSI GTX 970 4GD5T?

    Judging by MSI's own "compare" feature between the two 970s, the main difference is the base clock and boost clock defaults: 4GD5T (reference clocks? I can't remember): 1102 Base 1241 Boost Gaming 4G: OC Mode: 1140 Base, 1279 Boost Gaming Mode: 1114 Base, 1253 Boost Silent Mode: 1051 Base...

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    Yeah, I'm on the latest BIOS (as of two weeks ago anyway, haven't checked lately), and I had to manually adjust the vcore even on that (it wasn't awful on the latest BIOS, but I was able to get a good deal of temp headroom under load by adjusting the offset).

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    I've done that, that's why I'm saying K OC isn't the same as "enhanced boost", because that setting does not change that behavior with less than fully loaded cores and boost behavior.
  28. T

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    But disabling K OC didn't change the boost behavior. Are we not sure the 4790k just has different standard boost behavior?

    Why Gigabyte is best

    I've had no trouble using Q-Flash on my Gigabyte motherboard and that seems like it at least should be more reliable than @BIOS, that I used on a board that didn't support Q-Flash a while back and I was being lazy. Flashing a BIOS from Windows just always feels wrong.

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    Nope, nothing with "enhanced" in it, and XMP settings aren't even enabled in the BIOS since my RAM doesn't have XMP (it's older G.Skill 1333MHz RAM from like four years ago).

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    I still haven't found a global "all cores" option in the BIOS (K-OC is not it, or at least it didn't cause any change in my rig's behavior). I guess the only way to do it is to set all the Turbo Boost ratios manually and try from there.

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    ah, gotcha. So I just need to figure out how to get stock Intel behavior. Haven't managed that yet :eek:

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    Hmm, actually that's not what happens with mine. If I start only two threads in Prime95 all the cores still go to 4.4GHz, it doesn't seem to selectively boost cores at all.
  34. T

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    Well, in my case it's locking all four cores to the marketed 4.4GHz boost, so I'm not really losing anything in that regard.

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    Is there a problem with using enhanced turbo so long as temperatures are ok? Actually, I can't find any reference to Enhanced Turbo in the manual (not at home to pick around in the BIOS). Maybe it's the "K OC" setting? But some googling tells me that just is useful for non-k processors...
  36. T

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    Aw, completely missed enhanced turbo. Thanks for that. I've reloaded optimized defaults a few times on the BIOS so that doesn't really help, it still behaves the same with the voltage. However, I haven't experienced runaway vcore while running Prime95 using offset voltage, it seems very well...

    Confusing 4790k behavior on Gigabyte Z97 UD5H

    I THINK this is a motherboard thing, so I'm putting it here, but it may be a CPU thing, so I apologize if this is the wrong forum. In any case I am thoroughly confused by how my 4790k is behaving on this motherboard on two fronts. First, the vcore, and second the clock boost, so I'm...

    We're discussing a Gigabyte motherboard so I'm not sure what you're talking about. The drives on the CD and on the Gigabyte website are nothing but the Intel INF update package anyway . . . which isn't solving there problem.
