I was debating this question big-time. I had a Win7 install that I was perfectly happy with, although the updates were years out of date since I got tired of having undesireable non-security things pushed through (and especially non-security spyware type updates that were styled as "security"...

I'm trying to decide whether to go from 7 to 10 or not. I have two GTX 1080s. I read a while ago that SLI was a mess on windows 10, but has that been fixed yet or not? Are there any performance issues I should be aware of or any compelling reasons to go to Win 10? One of the main reasons I'm...

I just swapped from 3x GTX Titan to 2x GTX 1080. Also just had a 65 inch 4K OLED come in yesterday. I really want to flex this new rig's muscle. What are the best showpiece games right now? I already have all of the Crysis and Battlefield games as well as The Division, and just ordered...

Wow, it seems like the issue might be fixed. I put the bad card in the second slot just to try SLI a bit before I sent it back and now the thermals are what I would expect (~within 5c of the other card). Only two variables that have changed are that it's in the second slot so now longer has the...

Thanks a lot guys, you made it easy. Glad I asked as I was thinking about sending it back to ASUS since I thought they'd be faster since they have the cards.

I bought two Rog Strix 1080's (the non OC version) and one of them is definitely overheating. Tested the first and did some very basic overclocking without playing with voltages or trying to max it out. Looping unigine, it was boosting to around 2030 core, running at 68 c, and the fan isn't...

This is embarrassing but I really can't figure out how to get a decent overclock with these cards. I've downloaded three different utilities for my ROG-Strix. The Asus utility is just a disaster, doesn't even save settings correctly. EVGA would probably be decent but the fan control curves won't...

This is what I think as well. If you take historical diminishing return into account when moving to faster cards, NVIDIA's latest offerings are clearly more impressive. The reviews I am seeing put the GTX 1080 at twice as fast at 4k, and paying 3x as much for 2x the performance is a bargain...

Oh, yeah, you're 100% right. The 6850k is the one I had my eye on and meant to make this thread about. Whats the typical overclock on a 6850k? Having trouble finding that information. If it only clocks to like 4.2ghz and my chip can hit 4.7-4.8 if really pushed, it doesn't seem like a good idea...

It amazes me how little CPU progress there has been in the past 5 years. Anyways, I have a 3930k that does 4.5ghz no problem, or even more with voltage/temps higher than I'd like. Every time I thought I'd upgrade, it turned out that the next generation of chips would be bad overclockers and the...
