[QUOTE=alan1476;2774093]GTX 960 EVGA card came with backplates here, great card for 200 bucks, they even can encode and decode using Cuda ( Maxwell) one of the only cards that can do it.[/QUOTE]

Now $170.00 After rebate. I was thinking of upgrading to this. Not sure if my I7-2600k will bottle neck this.

This card will be great for you with your 2600k. My son went from a 560ti to a 2GB 960 and it was a big improvement for him.

I definitely want a 1080 but I may wind up settling for a 1070 due to price. Before I even take that step, however, I need to do a mobo, CPU, RAM upgrade which adds up. In the meantime, my EVGA 780 Classified with the added backplate is surviving well enough for my needs although I am finding the need to turn down graphic settings on more and more newer games. :frowning:

Any newer GPU will show a Big Improvement over older GPU that is a fact- doesnā€™t have to be AMD or Nvidia. Though in this case considering AMD driver debacle I had better luck with Nvidia driver.

I owned and loved the Radeon 4870 and 5870 cards after jumping ship from previous NVIDIA cards. But, yes, the AMD/ATI drivers were beyond awful. I dumped AMD/ATI and went back to NVIDIA. I donā€™t regret the decision.

#28

i ordered for my new system this puppy http://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING/ to replace my asus gtx 680. Should be quite a boost ^^

I am waiting for the Asus 1080Ti Matrix Platnium Card. Then I can sell my 980GTX Matrix Platnium cards.

I know I tried 13 and 14 and that was a disaster in the making screen and driver problem up the whazoo-once I forced it back to 12.10 all the problems were gone. I think the days of AMD making good Stable drivers is long past. You can have the most ubber GPU but failed GPU driver software and that makes it paper weight. I have my nephew going with 2 970OC MSI in SLI and that will replace the two 770 now and that will up the performance not to mention lower the heat output.

I was planning on a Ti version too but all rl conditions now point to insufficient or no funding at all. Guess I can always sell it off in time to do just that.

#32

For my gaming needs two 970OC 4G will do just fine in SLI. My nephew is getting this setup and I think it will more then suffice for COD and Crysis 3 requirements. If any GPU canā€™t handle ubber Crysis 3 then it not a GPU Gameā€¦ for the gamer that is everybody a single GTX970OC 4G will most likely do fine I got one running right now.

The Nvdia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card is out.

Hi coodbe:
Nice to see you here. How have you been?

#35

I am good. Staying healthy and still working two days a week just to keep my brain cells active. I am waiting for VR to mature. The best price I could find on this new graphic card is at newegg.com but they are sold out. Also been checking out specs for the Pioneer Ultra HD Blu-ray burner in this thread:
Pioneer BDR-S11J-BK BDR-S11J-X Ultra HD Blu-ray Burners Coming Next Month

I am keeping tract of the RedFox forums as well. I donā€™t seem to have any pressing need to update the graphic card at present. My rig can handle it. I have the Corsair RM series RM1000 power supply.

How are you doing?

#36

I am doing as well as I can for my age. I really miss the old timers like you , I am happy to see you are doing well. When you get that new 1080 Ti let us know. Great to hear from you old friend.
