Because they can. They'll let you return the PSU if you want.
At least it deters scalpers a bit.

How dare you allow that 1080 to live so close to the edge. Would you treat your family this way???

I still didn't get any shipping date for my FTW Amazon pre-order.
Nah, I'm fully convinced they don't actually exist and all this short stock is merely a ruse to irritate my emotions.
What FPS do you think you will be getting on a 4k/60hz tv?

A few stores currently have them in stock.

I think you should be fine. I had an ivy bridge 3570K at 4.4GHz which worked great with a 16:9 144Hz monitor. I take it that the LG 34UM97 is a 60Hz monitor, right?
this is a useful link! thanks!
Edit: Bla the Strix 1080 is in stock but not the OC edition :<
I thought some TVs were 120hz? Is that not a thing? Would that not allow me to bump my FPS?
I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff.
They are the same cards no? One just comes with higher "stock" clocks?

Should be arriving tomorrow! Although I hear that 2 normal flex bridges do the same job. If so I'm paying £30 for a fancy LED shell!
120hz TVs aren't actually 120hz
They just use interlacing to bump their output to 120hz and can't actually accept 120hz signals.

It's not interlacing, it creates a entire new frame with information from the previous and next frame and the result is pretty good most of the time, at least on the Samsung and LG LED TVs I'm using.
It's inducing input lag by design.

aww man.
My 600W PSU only came with a 6+8 gpu power adapter but this thing is 8+8 and my system is telling me I have to plug in all the power cords. I'm gonna have to get one of those damn 6 --> 8 pin adapters. I have plenty of power but not enough pins. :-/
Party resumes on Monday unless people think I should just send it back instead. I would manage to pre-order one of the only cards that didn't come with a 6+8. :-/

I just nabbed an Asus Strix from NewEgg. How did I do?
I'm this close to punching the button, aaaaaaaaaaaa do I do it

Just Do it, Oh Baby, Go Crazy.
Yeah, 21:9, 60hz, 3440x1440. I've found that GTAV is running a LOT better now I've OCed and that's only on a 970 at 1080p.

Yes, in order to create an additional in-between image, the screen needs to wait until it has at least two unique frames. This at minimum adds 16.7ms just by waiting for that extra frame (at 60fps), not to mention the added time for the TV to work its magic and create the third one based on the other two. This is why motion interpolation is generally a bad idea for video games, and why you should set your TV to gaming mode if possible to turn off any kind of post processing that adds input lag.
All high end TVs have panels that are at least 120Hz internally, the trouble is that in most instances you can't input 120Hz (since only PCs can pull that off and the market interested in that capability is minuscule, TV manufacturers haven't been active in offering that feature). But some TVs at least unofficially allow you to input actual 1080p@120Hz. That was a part of why I went with the Sony X85C when buying a TV this Spring.

If you do run into CPU bottlenecked games, it might be worth looking into high speed ram http://www.overclock.net/t/1487162/...affect-fps-during-high-cpu-overhead-scenarios. Yes, it's expensive but it beats buying a new CPU, a motherboard and DDR4 sticks.
Thanks, any particular DDR3 high speed sticks you'd recommend? I currently have 8gb of the Corsair Vengeance LP. Low Profile RAM is preferable since I've got one of those massive Noctua coolers (which I only realised until Ocing how little I was taking advantage of them). I'll be able to buy 16gb of good RAM once I've sold off my 970.

Unfortunately I don't know much about ram sticks. Just try to pick something that doesn't have terrible timings (lower timings are better). What I'm using is 2400mHz Kingston HyperX Beast with 11-13-14 timings (first number is most important, then comes the second etc.). I have no idea whether that's good or not. Timings dictate how quickly the ram responds while mHz tells you the bandwidth. Today's games seem to respond better to higher bandwidth than better timings so don't worry too much about it.
aha I meant interpolating not interlacing woops
Man, after looking at 980 ti prices I'm just not sure what to do anymore. I've got around £1,200 to spend and with both an LG 34UM95 and a 1080 I'm cutting it very close to budget. The utter shitshow of prices (with UK prices being pretty much identical to the dollar) and availability is scaring me off the purchase despite knowing it'll be an amazing card for 3440x1440p.
How long am I going to have to wait for supply to level out and RRP to be reached? Because I'm more than willing to spend £600 on this if it means I'll be fine for at least 2 or 3 years. I'm just not willing to spend £700.

Yup hope we get good chips!
* My Strix is on the way back to Amazon. Couldn't even run at factory OC
Wow, that would certainly be a kick to the nuts. Fingers crossed.
No is not, send me the card for further investigation 😎
If it's an AIB card, then yes. Fans being off at idle has become an industry standard since last year. If it's a Founder's Edition or any other blower, then no.

2126 stable ?
Jumps between 2126, 2138, and 2152 but never below 2126.
Adding voltage through Afterburner literally does nothing for me. I can't increase my clocks any further and it actually causes me to hit the power limit faster.

Volta is 2018 and based on inventory issues it's probable the 1080/1070 launches were pushed forward from what was originally planned. Pair that with the 970/980 lasting almost 2 year (September 2014 and only just replaced) it's quite possible there will be no 11XX's next year, opting rather to be Volta launch products in Q1/Q2 of '18. Obviously subject to change if AMD puts out competitive product, but going by the 480, that's unlikely.
