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

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814133489 Welcome to the future Lord Bude. Enjoy your stay. Has anyone tried out the new Geforce Experience thing nVidia just released? 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.

 I'm amazed this was released without me realizing. The internet has failed me.

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.

20% bump over the 680 isn't selling me, but I'd be all over it if I had a 480/580. See you this time next year nvidia.

For my card, its running at 300MHz when doing 2D. Zorro KingOfEngland posted:Has anyone tried out the new Geforce Experience thing nVidia just released?

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/.../7#.UZ5p2ILuVEM w00tazn fucked around with this message at May 23, 2013 around 19:12 |

Next to the Titan you could almost call the 780 good value.

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).
