980 Ti Owners Thread

Yeh I couldn't resist it for the price, and the cooling/noise on the card is amazing, the review on here also helped push me to grab it too!

 

Was just asking a question about the card, and it was aswered.

 

No I mean MSI. Why wouldn't MSI use afterburner for those custom profiles on that card? Seems a bit silly to add in another program.

 

I agree would have been better included in afterburner

 

Hey guys,

New to the club, came from a GTX Titan. Quick question for you all.

See my rig <--, in GTA 5 im getting some low gpu usage. Around 75%. This is at 1080p, 4xMSAA, TXAA on, everyting else on very high.

Fps wise is around 55~75.

With my Titan i played at the same settings and got around the same performance but my usage was pinned at 98/99%.

My i7 980X is running at 4.3Ghz. Is my 980X being the bottleneck?

 

^
Yep slower per core performance.

 

I know newer generation i7's are faster per core but ...Gotta be kidding me right... :bang:

 

GTAV seems to be very CPU intensive.

 

I have X58 + Xeon X5650 (3.6GHz) and my 980 Ti is loaded ~98% in GTA5. The CPU is barely sweating.

 

Im getting lost!.. The xenon is basically my 980X right?

 

Well 980Ti asks for more driver/gpu/dx api power and cpu just can't keep up, I saw GTA5 grass distance and view distance can be cpu bound. Unless you add extra AA and ingame downsampling..



Most newer games use the latest/faster cpu instructions, looks like GTA5 uses AVX too - saw higher cpu load and temp if I used my own music.
Serious Sam3 mp, Crysis 2, 3 mp, HardReset, X3-TC bench is also a good example, lol by X3-TC (part 1) it bottlenecks even Haswell @ 4.7ghz.

 

Ok i got something messed up here, im using AB and i have Power and Usage under the same name.

So i watched it and i got the 2 of them mixed up. Im getting 90/98% usage but my power is only at 60~75%.

:bang: sorry.

So ok usage is ok then, but im not getting the most out of the card. I have a Asus 120hz monitor, running vsync but stil only getting 75%


Edit:

Witcher 3
99% usage and 84% Power.

Heaven 4.0 (Extreme settings)
99% usage and ~84/88%

 

Got the gaming 980ti sli up to 1493mhz on stock voltage.
Nah stock voltage did not work dropped it to 1455/7712 for now.

 

I'm looking at going SLI, just unsure if my 1000w PSU will be enough considering everything is overclocked. SLI 980 Ti's need 900w but I also have a wireless adapter, SSD, 3 HDD's and like to overclock.
What do you guys think, change PSU to something a bit more or would I be fine?

Screw it I'll just get a new PSU.

 

Where did you read 980 Ti SLI need 900w?

Code:

System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 332 Watts

No idea how adding another 980 Ti takes total system wattage from 332w to over 800w.

 

Your fine with current psu

 

Alright, thanks. I'll pick up the second card on Monday

 

I could run 2 overclocked 290s on my 1000 watt PSU so you're good.
