Agreed posted:Maybe they'll have an ACX cooling version of the 760 - that would be a seriously bad mother, and I seem to recall one of the leaks being of an EVGA box with the "ACX" branding logo on it... Wait and see if you have the patience for it? Ordered. Welp.

Agreed posted:Don't hate me for telling ya, but it turns out the ACX design scales down somewhat less well than one might hope. It's still hella better than reference cooling, but the noise levels can't match MSI or Gigabyte or Asus, and temps aren't quite as good either. It's the least effective of the four aftermarket coolers of note on the GTX 760. My 760 arrived today, and I'll be popping it in tonight.

Kazinsal posted:AMD has the consoles, Nvidia has the Tegra (ARM Cortex SoC with a handful of GeForce cores). Both aren't going anywhere, and there will always be PC gamers and there will always be brand fanboys. Brand loyalty is straight up bad for the consumer. I never get how/why people identify as being Team Green or Team Red. Just buy what is the best available for your money and needs at the given time.

I thought a 970 paired up with an i5 2500K @4.2Ghz would be able to run GTAV more or less maxed out at 1080p. I was wrong.  Inconsistent framerate, drops down to the 30s at times. So weird.

My Strix 970 is a bit saggy on the right too. Seems to work ok, but it's kind of annoying. You spend all this time getting your cable management just so, and then you have this droopy ballbag GPU loving up all of your  action.

Local Microcenter has 6 MSI Gaming X 1070's. I play at 1080/60 and I do not need to upgrade from my Strix 970 at all, and yet...the 1070 is gnawing at me.

I have the Strix 970 which has a backplate, and that fat thing sags like crazy. I dunno. Thinking about building a budget PC for a friend soon, and buying a 1050 or 1050ti. Kinda thinking I'm going to avoid EVGA and go MSI or ASUS.

I will confirm what others have said about ASUS customer support. It is loving AWFUL! I've had EVGA, Asus, and if I were buying today, I'd go with MSI.

So is this right? EVGA: worst card, best warranty, best service ASUS: good card, what warranty?, terrible service MSI: best card, sketchy warranty, sketchy service

TheRationalRedditor posted:Event 41 kernel power shutdowns are frustratingly vague and idiopathic. I had a spate of them in the last year that made me suspect my aging (but high quality) PSU, to the extent I actually just replaced it with a brand new EVGA 650 P2. The really weird thing is that none of them ever happen while under CPU or GPU load, only while it's running calmly idle and I'm afk.

TheRationalRedditor posted:I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3 so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was the culprit, as I've fully swapped my RAM, PSU and GPU since originally building the PC in 2012. I just updated to the most recent BIOS from 2015, which I neglected to do. Like 2 out of the previous 4 firmware ROMs had the vague devnote "Increased Stability", so maybe that's very telling.

Buying a new GPU with a budget of about $500. I'm hoping to game at 1440p/144hz at high-ish settings, no VR stuff. I have a preference for new and not used, and live in the US. In the past, I've had positive experiences with EVGA and MSI, but don't know what the good brands are these days (it's been a while...) Can you guys point me in the right direction?

So, does Agreed's old boost 2.0 overclocking for dummies guide still basically apply for Pascal? iirc: open Precision/Afterburner set voltage to max set power target as high as it will go set temp target as high as it will go prioritize temp target

VelociBacon posted:Once you have a clock offset that is stable you'll want to do the same for your memory offset. I'd give it a week or so of playing games etc at a certain clock offset without touching memory offset so that if you get a crash you know what caused it and you aren't stuck with two variables to mess with.

Had the unfortunate circumstance of having a monitor poo poo the bed AND needing a new GPU at the same time, and wasn't in a position to wait. So, I bought both GSync and an Nvidia GPU approx a week ago. Feels bad, man! (I'm consoling myself with at least getting a decent deal on them.)

So, I HAD to be a new GPU recently, and ended up getting an evga 1070ti for about $350. Then, the RTX2060 came out. I'm eligible for the EVGA step up (perhaps more of a lateral move) to the RTX2060, and all I'd pay is shipping. Would I be crazy to do this? Or would I be crazy NOT to?
