    980ti 4k gaming - is adding a second card worth the investment?

    Let me first say, 4k is awesome. I love it. However, one 980ti leaves me right on the short side of what I consider acceptable frame rates. In most games I can set them to ultra, and then bump a few of the big performance hitting settings down, and I'm around 40-50fps, which I can live with...

    Has anyone in here attempted to play a 4k x265 video file?

    I've recorded and played back several 4k videos without any issues. However, for some reason, I cant play x265 videos in WMP, VLC, or 5K video player. It almost seems like some sort of driver or hardware issue. Has anyone had any similar experiences or ideas? Fixed it, bad codec installation...

    SLI question... mATX board... touching video cards?

    I'm sure this is probably a commonly discussed thing, but I'm curious how exactly this is going to work. I have an evga 980ti classified (the biggest video card ever). I'm looking to add a second in SLI, however I'm staring at the PCI-E slots on my Maximus VIII Gene, and the top cooler's fans...

    Welp, my 980ti doesnt fit in my case, what mATX cases will?

    Apparently a 980ti classified doesn't fit in a corsair Air 240. Not even close. What mATX cases can fit an evga 980ti classified in them? Anyone care to chime in?

    4K guys - 980TI SLI

    So, been rocking the 980ti for a couple months. Honestly, it works pretty decently for most games, but it's right at the edge of acceptable. It's a little frustrating to spend a large chunk of money and not get a solid 60fps. So, I think I'm going to buy another 980ti. Guys who are using...

    latest and greatest mouse pad?

    My ratpadz is out again, I went to reorder and their website appears to be broken. So, what's changed in the last several years? any new pads worth the money? I was looking at the steel series qck pad, seems nice as you can roll it up and it isn't rigid like the ratpadz.

    After doing my homework, It seems like a Titan X is the best buy..

    And now everyone and their mother is halfway through a post telling me to do two 970's or 980's in SLI. I did my homework for quite some time, and it seems to me since I'm planning on doing 4k gaming, that is the best option. I've had SLI setups in the past, and they proved to be quite...

    Upgraded to a GTX 970, negligible fps increase - is my processor the problem?

    I have an older Phenom X4 965 BE processor which I've had for 7 years now, and it's been good to me. I recently upgraded to a GTX 970 so I could get 70fps average on ultra in BF4 @ 1080p, unfortunately I'm barely at half that in multiplayer... that's just not acceptable, I had to switch back to...

    I'm rocking a new AM3+ mobo w/ a 965BE... should I upgrade?
