4 Day Weekend posted:Just to clarify, they need the same model (ie GF110) only? Memory/clock speed doesn't affect compatibility? Yes but if you use two cards with different clock speed/amount of memory then the faster card will work like the slower one, extra memory will remain unused and clock speeds will be lowered to match the slower card.

I'd like to see more Euphoria and PhysX stuff too, but I think the reason we're not getting it is because it can't be seen in screenshots, while stuff like a higher poly count and whatever shaders do can.

Does anyone have any opinions on 'Galaxy' as a brand? They offer a card here in europe, under the 'kfa2' name, that is pretty similar to the Asus D2CU Top except in that it is actually in stock at some vendors. It looks pretty good in that one review I was able to find: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/22686-test-3x-nvidia-geforce-gtx-670.html?start=5 That's power draw, temperature and noise respectively.

Ervin K posted:I have a question on the relationship between the CPU and GPU. Is there some kind of a performance ratio that we have to maintain between the video card and the processor? What would happen if you paired an old Core 2 Duo processor with a GTX 690? From what I understand, you have to have a pretty huge gap between GPU/CPU to have one bottleneck the other, I don't think you're gonna run into this problem with your specific setup since both of those components were at pretty much the same time and are similar in performance (both are enthusiast products).

Is there a way to check if my videocard is broken? I bought a GTX 670 yesterday and it crashes when, I guess, the load gets too heavy, namely when I try playing Crysis in max settings and also when running the Unigine Heaven Benchmark at max settings. The screen goes dark and all my fans start spinning at max RPM, I have to restart the computer and get a message that I got a BSOD with the BCCode 116. It seems to happen once the cards temperatures are around 70°c, that temperature is not too high I think but I don't know what else to look out for. The card is a GTX 670 OC by Gigabyte.

Yea I'm gonna return it I think, even if I get it stable by underclocking it, I don't think that's really an acceptable solution. One weird thing I noticed, checking the card with HWINFO64, the "GPU Geometry Clock" speed, which I assume is the core clock, goes up to 1175.8 Mhz under load, but on the Gigabyte website it says the card boosts to 1058 Mhz. I'm wondering if that could be the reason for my crashes or if that's just a wrong reading from HWiNFO. Gonna do some more benchmarks now that I've underclocked it to the 1058 Mhz from the Gigabyte website.

Belan posted:You shouldn't have to underclock it, the extra boost you see is called "Kepler boost" that gets added on top of the normal boost clock. drat, here I thought my problems were kinda solved, guess I'll just exchange the card, roll the dice again. Thanks for the advice guys!

Little update on my GTX 670, they tested it at the store and of course it's working fine there, so I'm wondering, did they maybe just not put enough load on it or is there something else on my end that could be causing my problems? I get BSODs when I do really graphics intensive stuff (Crysis in max settings, Uningine Benchmark), unless I manually downclock the card. Could my Motherboard or PSU be to blame here (Asus P8Z77 and XFX 750w, both a month old) or could it be a driver issue (using the latest beta drivers)?

over that since I was really looking forward to playing it yesterday after work, d'oh). So here's a more collected version of my thoughts:

I take it since I can't find anything about a S/PDIF header on my GTX 670 on Google and the manual makes no mention of it either, I should bury my dream of getting DTS over HDMI and just move on?

Don Lapre posted:Your video card has a soundcard built in for hdmi audio. DTS passthrough is up to your software to support it. The built-in sound card outputs 5.1 as uncompressed LPCM, which is the HDMI standard and actually superior to the compressed DTS format I'm after. Unfortunately for me, DTS is the best I can do at the speaker side with my current setup, that's why I'm trying to get DTS specifically through the GPUs HDMI.

Don Lapre posted:I had no problem doing DTS through Nvidia Hdmi on xbmc, on a 670 even. Your software just has to pass it through. You're right, the problem has to do with how the DTS audio is "created". In your case, I'm guessing you were watching a video with an already encoded DTS audio track, this audio track got passed through the HDMI into your receiver or whatever. I want to play games with 5.1 audio though, and the way games output 5.1 audio on PC is via LPCM which is something my speakers unfortunately can't handle. A way around that is to encode the 5.1 LPCM from the games as 5.1 DTS on the fly, which a sound card can do but my graphics card cannot, which is why I was wondering if I could encode the 5.1 DTS using my sound card and then send that via spdif header into my graphics card to pass through to my speakers.

Crosspost from the short questions thread:quote:How come when I play Assassin's Creed 4 I get a lot of tearing at 45 fps, but when I play Need for Speed Rivals I get no tearing at all at same fps? Why does it seem like some games suffer more from tearing than others?

The 670 was 90% the performance of a 680 while being a hundred bucks cheaper iirc, so that's a pretty good reason.

Titles that were developed on PC first or exclusively (SC2, WoW) are better bets when it comes to scaling down to a dual core CPU, for console ports you might be better off going with more cores as both consoles use 8 core CPUs.

It seems I sometimes get tearing even with vsync enabled when I'm outputting to my monitor (DVI) and my TV (HDMI) at the same time, when I turn of my monitor the tearing on the TV goes away. Could there be something wrong on the software side or is this just a general vsync limitation?

Cloning. I haven't tried lowering settings in graphics intensive games but I have experienced the issue with games that are not very demanding to begin with. The Wolf Among Us was tearing constantly at 59.9 fps when I had it cloned from Desktop (60hz) to TV (60hz), after switching off my monitor the tearing was gone, which is the main reason I'm wondering if it was some kind of inherent vsync limitation.

Twerk from Home posted:What game are you experiencing issues in? A 7950 should be very comfortable at 1080p. You may have a bottleneck elsewhere. I would like to play games at 1080p, 60fps and ultra settings (incl. high AA+AF), with a lot of recent games my GTX 670 wasn't enough for that. I think even at 1080p high end cards aren't entirely unreasonable.

Truga posted:Same post is also saying UE4 doesn't support async shaders, and ue4 is going to be *the* engine for a couple years now it seems so... This is kind of a minor point but I don't think UE4 is or will be the default engine in the way that UE3 was. EA, Ubisoft, Square Enix and Activision all have their own in house engines and a lot of the 3D indie stuff is on Unity. The only recent major Unreal Engine games that come to mind are Arkham Knight and MK X from WB Games and both of those are UE3. I don't think any triple A games this fall or early next year are gonna use it either.
