So I just picked up an MSI 760 GTX (upgrading from technically 2x Radeon 6870s in crossfire, but one's HSF failed so...) and I'm wondering about temps. With my case (with admittedly lovely airflow) closed, it maxes out at 81C. I know that's pretty warm, but is it full danger zone? Or can I live with it?

The headache of dealing with outdated and possibly-customized drivers. Basically nothing.

So, when I moved from Crossfire 6870s to a single GTX 760, I noticed a few things: Greater Stability Less heat Better air flow Better driver features: -Shadowplay -DSR Obviously some of this is down to case/cooler characteristics, but things like the drivers are really nice. What does nVidia have over AMD in regards to things like DSR and shadowplay, the sort of extras tied more to drivers and software than explicitly to the physical hardware and its muscle? I've got a freesync monitor, but not sure if I want to even really look at AMD after my experience with the 6870s, and the stark difference in stability with the 760.

I notice it pretty well on mine, but it's been awhile since I ran a 16:9 system at less than native. My current driver is a 21:9. Do we have a smiley for first world problems?

Not to sound particularly paranoid or anything, but my 760 is idling at 48c and reaches 81c while playing World of Warships at decent settings. Should I be somewhat concerned/disappointed?

Don Lapre posted:The MX440 was SUPER low end at the time. It was basically Nvidia using the Geforce 4 naming to gently caress over consumrs. It was lower end than the previous geforce 3. That was my first one. As I recall, it was actually a GeForce 2 with some additional hardware. No shaders though, I remember not being able to play certain games because of it. Or an old shader model or something. The real GeForce 4 had them.

HMS Boromir posted:Apparently, a can of Monster contains about 200 kilocalories, or 836,800 joules. All sugar, I assume. I'm not sure exactly how much the 980 Ti draws but 400W seems like a good conservative number to make sure we're not overselling our can of Monster, which comes out to 35 minutes of high energy gaming. So if I buy a case of Monster.... Hmm...

I can't imagine there would be any more market for the 4.5 to grab hold of. You might see an influx of people second hand selling to GameStop, eBay, and Craigslist. The PS2 sold over 50m in NA alone, with more than 150m worldwide. The Xbox 360 sold more than 75m worldwide. The PS3 shipped 80m+.

AMD had better integer performance. That's why they got it; their hardware was much better suited for bitcoin hashing. My 6870s paid for themselves. And the rest of the computer.

Given the fact that I'm listening to one source, this could easily be faulty information but... AdoredTV put out a video examining the 1080 and 1070, and in relative terms it actually seems like these cards are performing about where you could have reasonably expected them? Which gives me hope that AMD will be competitive this time around, in the areas they decide to compete? I just want to use the freesync in this monitor
