Freaking thank you, I will look into it.
Even though I know my temps always hang in the 50's I get paranoid not being able to see everything.

I ran friestrike last night, didn't let it finish because I had to go to bed. First I left the resolution to automatic, cancelled out after the first part and then I set it to 1440p and wow did it run like shit both times. Is that how it is? I didn't mess with any setting besides resolution.
Hard to do any real comparison with "run like shit". Need some data.
Lol, well the frame rate was terrible, sub 30, probably low 20s or less. I'll run the full thing today.
My TV defaults to 30hz for 1440p, I had to manually add a custom resolution in the Nvidia control panel. Might not be your issue but thought I'd give a heads up.

The point of any benchmark is not necessarily to get a really high FPS, it's to give you a baseline of comparison between different OC's and/or different components. Some of the benches in 3DMark are going to crush your hardware no matter what your configuration is.
Another noob at overclocking GPUs here. I played around with the settings in Afterburner
Didn't notice any glitches or any problems running Witcher 3 1440p unlocked fps, and when running the firestrike extreme stress test (got a value of 97%), but when looking at the temperatures it went up to 90C during the stress test, that can't be safe right? Would appreciate any help before I mess things up.
Edit: Tweaked some more with the settings, think I should be good now.

For any Canadians, NCIX has the MSI Twin Frozr in stock, at a gargantuan $999 price.
I'll stick with my FTW pre-order, though who the hell knows when that will ever show up.

Cracked and bought the Asus Strix - it's a nice upgrade over my PNY reference 780 Ti but I'd be lying if I said it was omg life changing, I'm guess I'm just getting higher standards :S Anyway it's definitely quieter and uses less power that's for sure and finally hitting the gold standard 144fps on a lot more games at max (or close) settings.

Lol yep. Got an early copy of Halo 5 that someone "found on the sidewalk".
So I ordered the Strix from Amazon. If they manage to get it here Saturday, I'll get a comparison up of that and the EVGA SC over the weekend.
B&H Botched my order, EVGA is really bad about giving out details on what is going on
But Newegg saved the day and this ASUS card is a beast. Overclocked to 2187Mhz stable and this isn't their "OC" model.

Welp, 3 cards with no taxes means three of us are happy. He threw in the Razer Chroma for free.

This seems...less than legitimate.
"Guys, guys, I got a great idea! Let's push out another SKU when we failed spectacularly to deliver the already existing ones one month after launch and counting!"
EVGA FTW DT, same PCB, same cooler as FTW but stock clocks... this basically puts the regular FTW in the same pointless situation as the SC. Pay 30$ for a mild overclock. These guys really are shitting the bed.

Congrats. I've had my Gaming X for almost three weeks and haven't bothered to even try OC (yes, I know it's basically a couple of clicks..).. lol
Can't be as unlucky as me and my 1080 Gaming X. Very quickly crashes at around 1944MHz, 10MHz less than that is 24/7 stable. It's not a huge issue but of course slightly disappointing.

Screw 1080. That arcade machine in the back looks love. Any info on that?
So my highest stable clock in Firestrike seems to be fluctuating between 2126 and 2139. I'm happy with that.
Time to see if it's stable in Unigine and some games.

PSA for anyone that ordered a Strix from Amazon yesterday. If your order didn't ship immediately and says "Shipping Friday" then youre officially on backorder status. They sold too many and have no eta on when they're getting the next shipment

I don't see how anything negative can be taken from this. It's faster to get untested cards to market. Also, what did you think would happen to cards that didn't pass their OC testing internally? They're going to get sold in some fashion, obviously.
People that think this makes the regular FTW pointless can simply save money by making a choice. Choice is a good thing.

I ran the GTX 980Ti with a Pentium G3440.

Just got an email from Amazon saying I needed to approve my item since its been delayed. Got excited for a second but I sure hope these puppies ship out soon!
Looks like a Sega Astro City running Metal Slug, not sure which one.
I hope Amazon includes a copy of Half-Life 3 with my G1. In two days, it'll have been a month since I pre-ordered and Amazon still "[needs] a little more time to provide [me] with a good estimate."
I'm not overly fussed as I got in at the USD$611 price and already have a 980 Ti, but some time this month would be nice all the same.

nwm.
Got that same email. Bummer. Oh well the 970 is pushing the Rift just fine and everyday without my 1080 is day I am not tempted to spend a small fortune on a new monitor.
I get the brawn with a 1070 and 4690k, so I think that's fairly easy to get.
You shouldn't worry about it. The card actually overclocks itself without you doing anything. You probably won't get 2100mhz letting it do so, but my card routinely clocks itself up to 2000mhz without me touching a thing. It will then thermally throttle down by itself. As long as the card is staying cool enough you will get a decent overclock without touching anything. I'm more concerned about the fan making noise than getting the last couple percent of performance from the card.
The cold hard reality that I'm never ever getting my EVGA 1080 from Amazon is setting in. But I've turned that corner. I'm just enjoying Stardew Valley now. Who needs graphics. Or the ability to use their expensive monitor? Not me. That's who. Next up, Undertale!
Glad I cancelled that Newegg order. The other dude last page said they were doing annual stocking, lol.

My Zotac FE came in today. First time purchasing a reference card and am real happy with it.
Was beginning to think I had made a mistake buying the reference edition after reading a ton of posts about bad cooling/design but this thing just works. The blower setup isnt noisy ( or a just about the same noise as the EVGA 780 i replaced it with).
Temps sticking around low 70's for the games i was curious to try ( witcher 3 and overwatch); every other game i throw at it just flies. Doom '16 looks amazing with everything maxed out.
Hell i was even able to be more aggressive with the overclocks ( +225 core/+675 mem) with no issues. I know this is just anecdotal but the reference cards just seem to run great so initial worries were averted.

Just contacted Amazon on the phone about my FTW card. They said that it might ship out next week is what it looks like from their end. I also was able to finagle a $15 gift card out of them for the trouble. Y'all should try doing this too. It's definitely worth a shot.
Did the same and they gave me 20% off.
Most of the FUD around the FE model is from people who haven't used one. I liked mine.
Sure, there's a $100 Nvidia tax, but other than that the card is fine.

Shit, I should've held out for more. What'd you say to them?
I asked about that and all they did was "upgrade" my shipping method, even though I had already selected one-day shipping.
I just went through the usual inquiry about when.. then told them I was dissatisfied. I was professional about it and all.
The CSR tried to show me that I could buy it from their marketplace for $1200 or whatever.. LOL
Basically just told them that others had been offered a 20% discount for the delay (true) and I quoted to them the bit of text where someone on Nowinstock.net had stated this. She requested the website link, so gave that. She tried to go back to the stupid $1200 marketplace scalpers to show that MSRP was some great price, etc.. and she didn't initially do anything, but said she'd escalate to verify what I was saying was true.
I had an e-mail from the escalation in like an hour reducing my FTW card to this:
Holy cow!
Edit: Will embed the image properly later, didn't know a tiff wouldn't work and it's chow time.

Okay... maybe I'm doing this wrong, but my graphics driver is crashing at very low overclocks (+50) on Firestrike.
I'm a total newbie when it comes to high end AIB cards, and this is my first card with 2 PSU connections (8+6). Do I have to use 2 different ribbons from my PSU to my GPU when connecting those?
