My Gigabyte 780ti Windforce. Carried me through Fallout 3 and 4, Assassins' creed Black Flag, the Crysis series, all of Mass Effect, and others

My monitor has a 60hz refresh rate and is 1440p. What would the advantage be for me to use a different connection than DVI-D? You can see my rig in my sig.

For 5 to 600 bucks you can get a brand new 2070 from Newegg.

I got the new monitor and I am very pleased. Definitely an upgrade. I am getting good framerates and seeing detail I never saw before in the games I play.

What's better, assuming an equal framerate, 1080p at max eye candy or 2k with a few setting reduced. Your thoughts?

The new monitor is a Samsung s32d850t. I mainly play single player RPG's and shooters. Old monitor is in my sig, a 27" Asus. Wanted a bigger screen and figured I should get a higher res screen to go with the increase in screen size.

Got a 1070g1 gigabyte and a 3570k running at 4.2 with 16 gigs of ram. Getting a 2k monitor and I'm wondering if it will be an upgrade visually to 1080p and if I will be able to run at decent framerates. I know I may have to lower some settings. What do you think? The new monitor has a wider...

I had a 780ti that died two weeks before the end of warranty. Gigabyte replaced it with a 970.

I don't have an answer for you. Giving you a bump to bring you up to first page. Really people, no one can help this guy?

NVidia has almost no power over what any retailer does with their product after that retailer buys it. Expecting sellers to pass up these windfall profits is very unrealistic. We might find their actions reprehensible but that is capitalism for ya.

I have a Gigabyte 1070G1 and it is quieter than my case fans, which are themselves very quiet. I believe that most, if not all, the aftermarket 1070's are set up so the fans don't run till you get to a certain temp. Usually 60c by default.

My 6970 from MSI is still running strong on my friends son's computer

My 780Ti died in December and I replaced it with a Gigabyte 1070 G1. It was an upgrade that was very noticeable.

Well they are sending me a 980 Windforce edition as a replacement. I think that's pretty reasonable. What do you think.

Those are all good cards and you will not be disappointed by any of them. They all have excellent coolers with fans that are whisper quiet and idle when there is no load. The Asus and the MSI will overclock a little higher than the Gigabyte, but I doubt you could see a difference while gaming. I...

I'm still waiting myself. Took me a while to get a box the right size to ship the dead card and they got it on Dec. 26. They claim a turnaround of 3 to 5 business days so it should not be much longer till I know.

Got my 1070 and it sure is an upgrade. Runs Witcher 3 at ultra with Hairworks enabled smooth as butta. I'll let you all know what I get as a warranty replacement for my dead 780Ti.

The Gigabyte G1. All the 1070's seem to overclock to close to the same levels and I'm running a 1080p monitor so I doubt I'd see much of a difference between any of them. The G1 was on sale which did not hurt.

Got no luck at gambling. I figure they stopped making 780"s a while ago. So it could be a refurbs 780Ti. I'm hoping for a 970 or a 1060. I've ordered a 1070 to replace it and figure I'll sell the replacement to recoup some of the cost.

Its in warranty....what do you think they will replace it with. Its a Gigabyte.

Good luck, but it sounds like the card has gone bad.

concrete core chokes and hardened MOSFET's

I'll use it to prepare for The Witcher 3.

The Gigabyte 780Tighz edition is about the highest factory overclock I have seen in the reviews, in fact the factory overclock is almost as high as some cards can manually clock to. I have the OC version and it is very quiet and runs very cool.

I love my 780Ti but I have to admit now that the prices have returned to normal the 290X is a better value. Do yourself a favor and go for one of the non reference cooler models.

No single card will get you 100fps at your resolution with high settings in BF4. I've seen recommendations for an 800 watt minimum for SLI/Crossfire. 750 watts is doable if the PSU is of high quality but I do not know enough about your PSU to say one way or the other. It would not leave a lot of...

Here is a straight answer for you. A single 770 does not have the power to take advantage of 4 Gb of ram. 770's in SLI do have the power to utilize the extra ram. There you have it in a nutshell.

Cross fired 290's is more powerful than a single 780Ti. Simplest way for you to go is sell off the two extra 290's and pocket the dough. The rest of your rig looks top notch so why sell it and start over from scratch?

Yeah, I didn't grasp that the monitor was 1440, 120hz and Gsync. Now I'd recommend the 780 for a start, then add a second for Sli down the line. If he wants to go single card then it should be the Ti.

I upgraded back in December. I went for the 780Ti you see in my sig. The prices on the 290/x are now back to retail list so even though I am very pleased with my card at this moment I might suggest you consider a 290/x like the Asus DCII. The 780's are fine for 1080p. The 780Ti's have more...

If you are going SLI then you should go for the 4 gig versions. A single 770 does not have the GPU horsepower to utilize 4 gigs, an SLI setup does. Of course, at that price you might consider a 780Ti.

Quite right, and here is a review to prove it. http://techreport.com/review/25995/first-look-amd-mantle-cpu-performance-in-battlefield-4/2

AS it stands right now my system still runs BF4 faster then it would with a 290x and Mantle enabled. I admit this could change down the road as Mantle matures and game developers get better at setting their games up for it, however this remains to be seen. I do expect that my rig will run any...

I would like to see a comparison between the 290/x series and the 780ti now that Mantle is here for BF4. Just curious.

Longest for me was an MSI 6970 twin frozr III. Gave me two years of good times.

Someone did a review of two 770's from Gigabyte, one 2 gig and the other 4 gig. There was no real difference in performance between the two. The only reason to get the 4 gig is for SLI.

I've had an Asus DCII, an MSI Twin Frozr III and a Gigabyte Windforce. All worked well. The Windforce has been the quietest of the lot.
