    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    I've had a chance to test Palit 780Ti 2-way SLI and ASUS 290X DC2 2-way CFX with Dell UP3214Q this morning. I don't know why, but Palit really does run better than 290X... around 5% but visibly better at BF4 4K. I may as well postpone this whole endaevour: 1st: Intel plans Haswell-E for...

    Thanks. What is a FPI ratio?

    Most quiet case and radiator fans that keep good performance

    I'd like a suggestion to go for to get the most quiet case fans for my Corsair 800D and for a water cooling system (Antec). I need them to be as quiet as possible, but be useful with good performance. Price doesn't matter at all. Thanks. So far Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm are a recommended...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    Thanks. One more thing that interests me: I've seen that a Titan I've tested, outputs hot air outside the case, but that Palit 780Ti obviously does that into the case. What is the situation with Sapphire Tri-X 290X in that regard? Do all those aftermarket coolers output heat into the case and...

    Yes, I've seen those tests and appreciate your real experience. Yet, I can't understand why in some tests this Palit 780Ti (although it is a $1000 version of 780Ti which is actually Titan level price) is better than 290X even Sapphire. Got any more tests to throw at me?

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    So, I've been reading a lot lately. It seems that for a single 4K monitor, 3 or 4 GB of VRAM won't make a difference. Also, it seems that Titans have no advantage over 780Ti. Now I am left with a choice: 290X or 780Ti. Both are great cards. What actually bothers me is that I don't really like...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    So, (dual) Titans Black would do a neat trick there and just work fine. I did some tests and seems that 3570K is enough for that too... So I'll probably be able to save on platform update...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    I did. Thanks for your valuable input; it seems aftermarket job is done nicely. Regarding that, seems as Asus is the best choice for aftermarket 290X. Now, when coming to 780Ti or Titan Black, one would wonder if Asus CU2 or EVGA SC to go...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    I'm running a 27" Dell U2711 at 2560x1440. I got rid of one 7970GHz last night since I just can't stand noise and vibrations which have now been significantly cut down (like 30-40% in total seems to have been coming from that addon card). I am now at single 7970GHz and have tried Battlefield 4...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    AA seems kinda pointless at 4K, at least to me. How are you satisfied with 200% scale and dual 780Ti? Because, dual 780Ti seems like a good solution for one 4K I'd like to get performance wise and regarding memory, if it works for 200% scale on your side (making it 4K). Titan Blacks seem OK...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    No current single card, but dual should work fine according to benchmarks out there. I do play some Diablo 3, StarCraft 2 and Battlefield 4, not really games easy on hw. :) I guess an SLI/CFX would do the trick for one display.

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    Well, that Toxic looks very nice, but it is still AMD which I'm going to skip this generation I guess. I don't like clock reduction policy and so much I'd like to opt for quieter and cooler 780Ti/Titan edition. Although, I've read 4K favors AMD in 290/290X vs old 780. Single 4K is top I'll go...

    New gen cards and 4K present vs future

    HI there, I have a strange dilemma. I'm now sitting at SB i5 some 32GB 1,6GHz RAM and a dual Crossfire 7970 GHz edition. At this moment, all I do seems fine. Except for I'm being bothered by AMD driver immaturity that crashes my desktop from time to time, actually all the time in several hours...
