Count me in, bought a 2560x1440 Korean monitor 2 months ago, got a 780 Windforce OC Rev2 a week ago, amazing card!
Well I know that with water you can usually get over the voltage wall with no problems. But water as we all know is expensive.
Not really. But its well worth the added cost. Most kits these days are getting better value and can carry over builds, just need a new backplate for new sockets in the future. Ive been running 1.38 volts under load for 24/7 for a little over a week now, and before that 1.35v for a couple of months. TDP is 450~ watts under load on a reference card. These cards are pretty strong as long as heat is taken care of.
$400 for a decent loop is expensive for most, especially if you have other hobbies. As for "well worth", that's pretty debatable. If you're a bencher sure, but otherwise meh.
Think I am joining the club this friday. 2 780 classys unless the ti gets a major price cut by then. Which is doubtful.
Anybody know if the top card will run much hotter than the bottom on this type of cooler. I usually by the blower style coolers and the difference in my top and bottom card is 5c. Sry for quoting myself. Cell fone malfunction
Two cards with axial fans in SLI inside case will be a pain. In my opinion at least one should be blower type.
Yes it will be hotter, my top ASUS GTX780-DC2OC is about 10c hotter after a few hours of bf4 bottom=58c top=68c its a hot summer here so i still think the temps are fairly good, was going to get reference cooled cards like i usually get but my shop couldn't supply them so they offered me the ASUS GTX780-DC2OC cards for the same price
I've always seen about 10c between top and bottom cards, thats usually at full load though, less demanding games I get between 5 and 7c using reference cards
5-9%? Where are you getting those numbers. From 928(stock boost clocks) to 1400 mhz is a 51% increase. If you were to take the average clock of around 1150~ on stock coolers/bioses thats still a 21% increase. Im not really a bencher but to be running at 1400mhz with almost 1.4 volts with a max temp of 42c is really nice. Much quieter.
Question I've been getting this weird occurrence when I'm recording gameplay with commentary, in the first five minutes the screen goes black and the audio remains then 5 secs later the game comes back on, and it doesn't show up on the recording itself is this something I should be concerned about?. I record with msi after burner and I have an oc of 1067core boost of 1202 and mem at 7000.
I'm talking about from about 1,2 GHz- 1,25 GHz to possible 1,3 GHz at 1,3v. My card can just do 1,2 GHz at 1,2v. There's no guarantee it would even do 1,3 GHz at 1,3v (and it would require expensive water cooling to get there, not worth it at all). I wouldn't go anywhere near to 1,3v with this card even with water just to be safe. Classified or Lighting would be different story. I'm not even sure if it's possible to unlock this particular card to get 1,4v. ---- 1h Mass Effect maxed out 4xSGSSAA... Getting rather noisy.
2 More weeks until I get my parts for my new system.....Im reading all these posts with so much anticipation its not healthy, lol The price to performance is just ridiculous even considering a R9 290 so Im getting the Zotac GTX 780 AMP, which from bench's Ive seen beats out the 290 and stock 290X which is being priced at almost $200 more.......Even getting close to 780Ti stock.... Very curious on what this cooler can do! edit--System in sig is non existent anymore...using a Athlon X2 right now waiting for my salvation
As from what I seen new egg had the amp for 509$ same from what I paid for my evga if I had the choice I'd go with the amp as well. I wanted to try evga again it didn't really disappoint but I feel I could have gotten more performance from other brands. I've heard good things about the amp Zotac is starting to look like a good company for cards you should post your oc when you get the chance I'm curious on how the amp performs.
That's pretty disappointing for a B1 chip. My card hits the same clocks as yours and it's an A1 with 65% ASIC.
