Highest I can get on 3dmark. 1450/1998. It's not stable, though. I need a modded bios badly for this card.


And I have another 980 that will be here Thursday.

I've decided on SLI 780 tis. Hopefully I can get a pair for around 700.

Does anyone know if the reference 980 cooler will fit on a 970?

Thats one hell of a jump in your graphics score!

I would buy two 970s now, but Im set on the 780/980/Titan reference cooler. They didn't make any 970s with it

I want to do this mod with those coolers

Edit: So coyote needs to sell me his TIs

Well the first 3dmark score I posted was fire strike. This is 3dmark11.

So I didn't check my 7950 before purchasing and it doesn't have a displayport output.

30hz is the fricking worst

One great thing about new flagship cards from NVIDIA is the extremely aggressive price drops on AMD cards. You can now get a brand new HIS IceQ R9-290 for $270 after rebate, with Alien Isolation and Star Citizen.


$100 more for the 290x.

I know, I was tempted at getting them. I'm just dead set on the 780/780ti right now to do that light mod.

It'll look sooooo good in my build

I wish best buy would put them on display to see in action. Instead they just throw shite everywhere with no rhyme or reason.

Already sold out.

I wouldn't get it at Best Buy anyway. Their prices are usually on par with Amazon, but they have the huge disadvantage of sales tax, which would be $75 on that monitor.

With the new 970s and 980s I can imagine there is a huge demand for Gsync at resolutions above 1080p. I would expect any company with gaming monitors to be scrambling to sell 1440P Gsync monitors. 2015 will be the year... I hope.

When will 1440p monitors be more common from not ebay/Asian sellers?

What are some other swap forums outside of hardwareswap? I'm desperately looking for some cards, but nothing is coming up on hardwareswap.

Two cards > one
