Animal posted:You made this comment in reference to that guy being worried about his Seasonic PSU? I made it in reference to psu reliability chat in general. You can't go wrong buying Corsair stuff, whether it be PSUs or anything else. From an Australian perspective it's going to become very hard to buy a crap PSU, from October anything that isn't 80+ silver or better in efficiency will be illegal to sell. That will eliminate most of the crap on the market.

I love Corsair, but let's be realistic: there are a lot of times you could definitely do better.

I just threw down $650 for an EVGA GTX 780 which came out today. I had the superclocked version (+$10) in my cart but it sold out before I could finalize the deal. I hope my 1000W Antec TruePower Quattro can handle it, otherwise I'm going to be looking into a new PSU as well. (PSU uses 4x 12V rails and I had stability issues with my 5870 until I hosed with the power cables to split the load across more rails)

Considering you have the cash to splurge on a time machine to travel into the future and buy a gtx 780, purchasing a new psu shouldn't be a big deal

Being able to record the past 20 minutes of gameplay footage sounds really cool, but there's no way it comes without a performance hit.

Yea, gently caress it, I pulled the trigger on the 780. I feel kind of filthy for spending this much money on what is, basically, a needless luxury, but, eh, yay capitalism, I guess. Now I just have to wait for the Haswell launch so I can actually build the machine to put it in. I think I'm going to put this 4870 (only 512mb) in a display case or something to reward it for it's many years of faithful, reliable performance.

Should be less CPU impact as that doesn't involve software encoding like fraps does.

Still, it's a baller app. Being available on all Kepler based cards, not just the $650 fuckoff-expensive ones, is awesome. Finally a way to do high-quality recording that doesn't require a high-end computer.

Now, I demand 680 prices go down precipitously so I can needlessly SLI it with the one I have. Yeeeeeeehaw! Well the bastards did it, 384-bit memory bus again. (I can't be arsed, do they drop that to 256-bit on the 770, having learned some lesson from the 670/680?) Also... Is it weird that I immediately wonder how well it all overclocks?

According to HardOCP, you can definitely overclock a 780 to be better than a stock Titan in terms of performance. http://hardocp.com/article/2013/05/23/nvidia_geforce_gtx_780_video_card_review/7#.UZ5p2ILuVEM w00tazn fucked around with this message at 20:12 on May 23, 2013 |

Miffler posted:Next to the Titan you could almost call the 780 good value. If you have enough monitor to warrant it, it almost is. At $650 for around 60% more power than a 7950 or 660 Ti it's definitely on the upward climb of the cost:performance curve, but not having to deal with the multi-GPU taxes on your power supply and the rendering itself outweigh the 780's tax on your wallet. I suppose now that I've said that, in a couple months we'll bear witness as the 770 pulls a 670 and roundly mock people who buy the 780. Which is why we don't get hype in these threads.

Just a quick question for the well-informed: Exactly how much of a headache is it to have a Radeon 7770 as my main GPU (Which both of my monitors are plugged in to), and then jam in an old GTS 450 1GB just for physx processing? Is it even powerful enough when used only for physx to be worth it? I won't be plugging anything into it and it will be purely for simulating cloth and little bits of debris. I have a pretty decent CPU (3570K OC'd to 4.2GHz) but on the games where physx is applied like crazy and allow AMD users to offload physx to CPU (Think Metro Last Light) it seems to cause performance to tank. I'm on Windows 8, a Gigabyte Z77M-D3H-MVP and I've made sure I have enough power to run both at once while under load. Thanks.

The 780 is the 770 to the Titan's 780 (if that makes any sense).

Doesn't look like 1 alone is quite enough and 2 is definitely out of my budget. Looking forward to seeing benchmarks on the 770 / 760.

Klyith posted:I don't see how his setup can possibly go over 350 watts, the 780 doesn't draw that much power. Anandtech's system with an i7 overclocked to a nutso 4.3 ghz barely broke 400w, and TR's more normal setup was just over 300. Yeah, I backpedaled above from my initial enthusiasm, but this is pretty much what I was wondering as well. Even if the 780's TDP is 250W, I wasn't clear on how that setup was tapping out that PSU without any overclocking.

Can my GT620M or HD4000 GPU output 4K over HDMI? Laptop in question is an Asus UX32VD. The Asus spec page says the 'port?' supports HDMI 1.4. Not sure about the GPUs.

Only at 30FPS, software support for that refresh rate might be very difficult too. I was looking at that super cheap 4K screen until I discovered that limitation of the HDMI spec.

I'm psyched for it to come to normal sized screens and give nicer DPIs. The ~100 DPI we've been stuck on for so long needs to go and we're starting to get single videocards that can easily handle resolutions above 2560x1600 now so the time feels right.

If you are using multiple display on windows mixing 4K and non-4K displays, you get to choose between having 150~200% dpi scaling on the lower res monitor and make everything cartoonishly huge, or using the 4K display at eye-squinting resolution. Because seems like there are still no individual dpi settings for multiple displays in windows

Quick question: Would anyone know how much GPU overhead (if any) SLI uses? I'm wondering if my SLI GTX 580 Super overclocked cards are working faster than a single GTX in the games I play. I have a dual monitor setup - 30" primary 2560x1600 and a 24" 1920x1200 on its side secondary. I keep MSI Afterburner running and watch it while gaming and notice when games push the cards above 50%. Does that mean I'm running beyond the performance of a single GTX 580? Or is there some amount of overhead affecting the numbers?
