I have a Nvidia GeForce GT440 with a Windows 7 HP P6210F. I have DVI going to my main monitor and a HDMI cable going to my HDTV (Panasonic). I use it for XBMC and streaming video. However, stuff like youtube is a bit choppy playing on my HDTV. 1080P 24hz plays just fine, I only notice it on youtube....and most importantly, NFL Game Rewind/Sunday Ticket. I want to prep my stuff up for having Sunday Ticket via computer with multiple monitors, but my GPU only allows two monitors. And, when I run two NFL games in different windows at the same time, it gets choppy enough that it's not really watchable. Is it time to upgrade my GPU? I have a max budget of around $200. I'm not really worried about computer gaming. I just want the most non-bs media related card. My card is fine for the most part, but again, with the Madden offer I've got online NFL Sunday Ticket coming my way, I want to get my computer ready for it. It's worth noting that I can only get 30hz out of my HDTV as a secondary monitor via HDMI. Don't know if going gigantic DVI cable would fix it as I use HDMI because I run both my video & sound from that HDMI cable into my Onkyo reciever. 89 fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Aug 23, 2013 |

I currently have a GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. It seems to get the job done for most of my games, but with my i7 4770, I feel like I could push it more. Is it even worth it to upgrade right now with about a $150-$200 budget? I'd like to think maybe I could sell my 650 Ti and get some money recouped back so it's not that financially crazy for me. But, I see some of these GTX 980 videos on youtube and I'm not really impressed. Seems they are more powerful than games can really push them right now. Is there something more sensible or should I hold on to what I have for now? I'm in no rush, I'm just curious what's out there. If I could end up spending like a net $100 and significantly end up upgrading my graphics card after selling the one I have, then that could be worth it to me. Here's my setup: System specs: Processor: Intel Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Runs at 3.8GHz on Turbo Mode) Motherboard: ASRock H87M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H87 Graphics Card: 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM (2 of them, so 16GB) Power: SILVERSTONE ST50F-ES 500W ATX12V v2.3 I don't plan on getting anything above 1080p as far as monitors go for a while. 89 fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Ahdinko posted:A good 960 can be had for $200-210 and will do you nicely if you want to keep it Nvidia. Or possibly even a second hand 970, since the whole 4gb scandal, alot of stores that are doing goodwill returns, etc. right now are selling off the returned cards as refurbished at a nice discount. Or maybe you can pick one up on ebay from someone trying to offload one. Don't be put off by the memory thing, its an amazing card for the money Thanks, guys! Sounds like I need to keep an eye out for a 970 then. Those benchmarks you posted make it look like the 970 kills the 960. Here's a more basic GPU question and forgive me for asking....but when I type in GeForce GTX 970 into a place like newegg, like 30 results come up of the same card with small details being different. What do I need to watch out on that?

I've got a 650 Ti Boost in a really powerful computer I built. Am I better off spending $80 to get another 650 and SLIing them or save that $80 and apply it towards a 960 or whatever? Is there performance jump of one 900 series big enough to trump the idea of two 650 series cards?

The 960 is much more in my budget than the 970 is. Thing is, I stick to 1080p. Cause I like to shoot Steam over to my 65" plasma in my living room. Is the 970 a little overkill for just 1080p or is the 960 much more suited as the ideal 1080p card?

AVeryLargeRadish posted:The 970 is prefect for 1080p, the 960 is a pretty big step down, if you can't afford to get a 970 I would aim for a 290 instead. Also remember that with a 970 you get TW3 and the new Batman game free, so work that into your calculations. At worst you can sell each of those codes for $30-$40 and save yourself $60-$80 on the 970. I didn't even think of that. I was already gonna drop $60 on the Xbone version of Batman. But, if it's included for free...not to mention it would look better than the Xbone version (I'm assuming)...that kinda makes it more like: GTX 960 - $180 - $80ish for selling the 650 Ti Boost + $60 for Arkham Knight Xbone = $160 total GTX 970 - $330 - $80ish for selling the 650 Ti Boost - $30 saving on not buying Batman Xbone - $35 selling Witcher 3 = $185 total $25 difference. Seems I've answered my own question. Maybe I'd keep Witcher cause it's pretty.. The card posted up top is the one to get? http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-4G-Graphics/dp/B00NN0GEXQ

AVeryLargeRadish posted:What PSU do you have? My PSU uses a 6+2 for the video card so that should not be a problem. I'd check all the connections and try again, if you still get no signal then you might have just gotten a bad card. I'm a jackass, the card wasn't plugged in all the way I guess

So, my GTX 970 used to be fine cloning my monitor to my TV set. But after some update, now it's really jumpy on both displays when they are cloned. They run fine separately. But I need to have them cloned so I can play games and have main control of my main monitor when I'm in my living room. I've tried: - Uninstalling GeForce Experience (cause of the new game capturing stuff) - cloning via windows instead of Nvidia - checking my refresh rates (both set at 60 hz) - updating graphic cards - deleting flux - completely removing graphics card drivers and resinstalling Nothing helps. It seemed to do it after a certain update months ago. Anybody else have this problem? I've been trying to figure it out for months....

I got a 40" 4K HDTV to use as a third monitor (Samsung 40KU6300) annnnndddd...yeah, that resolution and even 1440p resolution is pretty nice. Could my 970 GTX MSI OC + maybe $150 get me something that's worth the upgrade to get those higher resolutions working better? Or am I better off waiting? Admittedly, physically I'm not sure if I can go much bigger on the GPU. That 970 is packed kinda tight in my case.

Rabid Snake posted:Do you mean you want to sell your 970 GTX and add $150 more to get an upgrade? If you can flip your 970 for at least $150 on Craigslist and pick up a 1070 on Craigslist for $300 (or get one from one of those Jet.com sales) that'd be a good upgrade for 1440p at least. It'll require legwork selling your card and finding a deal though which I would find to be a pain. What's the jump like between a 970 and a 1070?

I've noticed my computer is a bit choppy with things like window animations ever since getting my 3rd monitor I have running in 4K. The other 2 monitors are running in 1080p. It's fine when I turn off and disable the 4K display. Is this just my GTX 970 chugging? Would upgrading make that go away? Windows 10. 16GB of ram. i7 4770k EDIT: I'm an idiot. The 4K display had reset to 30Hz for some reason. It's fine now at 60Hz 89 fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Feb 16, 2017 |

I have a Craiglister who's showing interest in my 970 + $$$ for his 1080. https://m.newegg.com/product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814126116 That one. How much should I offer without insulting him? Honestly, $300 is probably my max and I'm not even sure if it's a good idea for me to spend that..

Paul MaudDib posted:I mean, he might be just trying to dodge the $200 drop in value that's coming as soon as a 1080 Ti launches. But yeah, it's suspicious, I would want to see the card running before I did the deal. Really that goes for any $500+ component. He's not down for $300 + the 970 so don't have to worry about it I guess.

I really underestimated how well the 1080 would retain market value on the used market. If I'm gonna spend $400 or $450 on a card, I'd much rather spend the extra $50-$100 for the peace of mind of buying it new and not being sold a card that's either potentially broken or has a lot of tread on the tires. Now, $300 or $350? Seems more fair for $500 new.

Lockback posted:Does the 4k TV lag when it's plugged in by itself? I'm guessing a 40" 4K TV might be a kinda cheap one, and I've seen some cheap TVs just absolutely wreck poo poo when being used as a monitor. Nope it's perfectly fine even when the 4K TV (it's used as a 3rd monitor) and the 2 1080p monitors are hooked in. It's just when I have the 1080p TV hooked into my display port (DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor > onkyo reciever > 65" TV). The 4K TV is a Samsung KU6300 which is one of the better TVs for monitor usage.
