This graphics card has 3 DisplayPorts, is there anyway to change this or contact GD about this?
Will a decently highly overclocked FX 8320e bottleneck this?
Can i use this GPU on this psu : Segotep SG 500A --> 500w , 80+ , 18A doible rail ( per rail ).
getting stable OC clock results of +210 core, and +400 mem clock. With a max temp of 71 celcius. Are these good results? Kinda new to overclocking
pretty good also i saw some poeple getting around 1500mhz core clock but also depends on what version you have and of course how well can be oced its also down to luck
I got stable 150+ on core and +500 on mem.
Pretty decent I might add! :)
I will combine it with intel core i5-6600K, Asus Z170-P D3 MOBO and 8 GB RAM. Is there any bottle-neck? Any advice for different hardware selection?
I would say if you have a slightly more room in your budget get a little better mobo. If you plan to oc which in your case you should, now or later, your results will be better.
In general i do not want and also i do not know how to oc but do you have any suggestions about mobo? Thnx for the reply
There will be no bottleneck for sure. You will need a cooler even if you wont overclock because this cpu doesnt ship without stock cooler. Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI is a good motherboard for the price, it has all the features of skylake.
Also you may not want to oc now but in some years it you might want to cause it will boost your performance without spending for an upgrade. Which case are you thinking of getting?
I was thinking to use the one that i have now (case) but i do not know which is in order to tell you so. It is difficult to oc this GPU?
No, pretty easy. Its frosty also!
Just bought this,why the hell did this get downgraded to 9 stars?
3.5 Gb of Vram
Bug in the system, fixed now :)
Budget: $400
Should I upgrade GPU to this or get a new 1080p monitor, ssd, and psu?
Keep in mind the current psu I have doesn't have connections for the 970 so it would have to be upgraded.
Current stuff: 1360x768 tv and a standard hdd
I'm thinking of purchasing this card next month but wanted to know if this would be bottle-necked by my cpu. Thanks in advance.
not at all broda :)
i have a i5 4440 and it handles the Asus edition of GTX 970 without any bottlenecks. My and your CPU is pretty strong enough to handle a GTX 980. So go for this card. =)
Hey there, Im thinking on getting one but… am I really doing a great purchse? I mean, shouldn't I wait until AMD release their new line this year? Cheers!
this card is a great purchase indeed, but i would say, wait
