Embargo's up. Can you talk about it now?

It differentiates it from previous techniques, which lacked the filter
They launched on the 18th, but are selling out the second they come back in stock.
Tell me what's dynamic about itIt differentiates it from previous techniques, which lacked the filter

question guys, hardwareversand.de just said I could have a Gigabyte windforce 3X now, http://www.hardwareversand.de/4096+...+GDDR5,+2x+DVI,+HDMI,+3+x+DisplayPort.article
or wait til the 30th for the arrival of the G1. Is there much of a difference? Seems like the G1 is faster, for the sake of an extra day is it worth waiting for the G1 to come back into stock?

Guess that's good for you guys.
Kinda regretting my decision to wait now as I've now given up my spot in line. Hopefully the rumored 8GB one drops sooner than later.
Getting a mostly smooth 60fps in Wolfenstein New Order. The only issue is the damn aliasing. Getting dips from it so I assume it's doing something but I'm not seeing dividends.
I'm exploring three options:
This aliasing is garbage.
Game is fun though. Very old school feeling. The 30fps cinematics are jarring though and it takes a bit to get into it.

- 8xSGSSAA & 8xMSAA (nvidia inspector)

How about DSR'ing it from a higher resolution? Might be an easy solution that works to your liking? Additionally, you could try adding some NVIDIA Control Panel FXAA. Blurring shouldn't be too much of an issue because of the downsampling.

are you allowed to say whether dx 12 support is hw level or is it that it is "dx ready"? it will affect whether i upgrade my desktop version of windows.

Anyone at all? Gonna stick with the G1 unless anyone can tell me a reason to go with the Windforce 3x?

I placed my order a week ago for the same card and it's still backordered.

Noticing some weird behavior with Wolfenstein and DSR. Instead of scaling to my primary display, as every other game seem to manage perfectly, this game instead spans the image across my primary monitor, my secondary and my TV. Also, the scaling on each display is off. My primary shows the image at 1:1 (so 1/4 of the frame), my secondary shows the next 1/8 of the frame scaled up to fill the entire screen, while my TV shows the nest 1/16 or so of the frame scaled up even more. Same thing happened in Crysis 2, but not consistently.
I haven't got surround enabled either. Don't think I ever have used it at all. My primary and secondary monitors are 1440p and my TV is 1080p.

Just a quick information for you all. Messed around with my system and contacted nvidia help chat...
when using a mixed configuration out of Nvidia and intel integrated to support all the displays 3DTV Play is not available in Nvidia Control Center. Unplugging the devices @ intel card helps here.

On a slightly overclocked Titan, I found the best AA solution was to downsample from 2560x1440 and use r_multisamples 4
r_multisamples 16 will kill your framerate

So I have the chance to buy the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 OC, is it worth the buy or should I get the MSI 970 GTX ?
Is there a place I could see benchmark results for a specific game on a specific hardware config?
I have a 4690k OC'd at 4.6 and SLI 970 no OC and I get 100 average FPS at 1080P max settings, no AA. I also get random dips that go into the 30s for a split second then it pops back up to 100. I just want to know if everything is working on my end properly.

So, got my new computer(GTX970+4790k) built thanks to a friend today. Coming from a HD4850 btw.
Installed some drivers(latest Nvidia drivers).
Downloaded Last Light, which will be the first game I try on my new rig. Before I start playing, I was wondering how you start the supersampling feature?

Are you talking about DSR or Metro's SSAA ?

Does Wolfenstein TNO have SLI support?

No, it is running on the jaloppy car that is idTech5.
I have the gigabyte and love it. Overclocking it now, early results are very promising.

Got my eVGA 970 installed, can report no issues with noise or coil whine.
DSR
I meant downsampling
Metro has a native SSAA solution which is similar to DSR. I don't know if DSR has already been implemented in drivers.

Where do I find DSR? I've updated to the latest drivers but I can't find DSR in the control panel options under 3d settings or GeForce Experience.
It has been implemented, yeah. Using it ever since I switched. I never thought this would be so simple after all the stuff you had to go through to get downsampling working on an AMD card (before GeDoSaTo was out and I think DSR supports DX11+ as well so that's a good bonus too).
E: grandwizard, I'm using the latest stable drivers on my 970:

Thanks, I was looking in the other tab for specific game options

Looking at that, it seems at least some of the DX 12 new features are implemented at the hardware level already. I'm not too concerned about the support for the cpu overhead reduction facilities as nVidia cards already implemented the optional DX 11 driver command lists so I'm sure that's already handled. I'll probably upgrade my PC to Windows 9 or 8.2 or whatever they end up calling the most recent version of windows available in 2015.
Been messing around with the DSR setting built into the drivers, seems to work really well, I'm able to run most stuff at 3840x2160 and have it be pretty playable, although Skyrim w/ a few high end texture mods tends to turn into a slog if everything is set to Ultra.
Sleeping Dogs runs great tho.

So I installed a new 980 in my system and it seems to be working fine. The only problem is I'm sure my old computer parts are a bottleneck for this beastly card. Here are my current specs:
Intel Core i5-760 (2.8GHz)
Corsair XMS3 DDR 8GB
Antec 750W Bronze 80 PSU
I'm thinking of upgrading to an i5-4690 (3.5GHz) and Z97 motherboard. Does that sound like a sensible choice? Should I upgrade the RAM and PSU or are those still OK?
Also, I'm thinking of getting an SSD and was eyeing the Crucial MX100 as the ideal price/performance option.
It's been about 4 years since I built my computer so I've been a bit out of the loop. Thanks for any advice you guys can give me.

You'll get a ~30% boost.
Try overclocking your i5 first. You could get it up to near 4GHz. Grab a Hyper 212 and an SSD. That's all I'd do for now.
Gigabyte generally seems to be the best so far. Still early days yet though.

If you were to choose between those, keep in mind that the gigabyte is pretty damn big and you need more space to fit it.

RAM and PSU are fine. Could try to overclock the CPU but I don't think upgrading is a bad choice when you also have a 980. Crucial MX100 is the SSD you should buy.

I have 2 reference EVGA 980s and I can tell you that I'm running 1365mhz cores boosting to over 1500mhz on air pretty easily. 100% stable.
Thanks for the the help everyone. Space isn't really an issue in my tower, but I looked at a couple of comparisons and went with MSI. It was £40 cheaper, practically the same and in stock very shortly at Novatech. Hopefully I get one in that batch as I want one in time for Alien. My 670 won't struggle, but I want to try downsampling those jaggies away.
