10% perf increase over 780Ti Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

That amount of efficiency makes me wonder what the temperatures will be like.

It's obviously speculating on zero solid information but that sounds like there could be potential for good overclocks.

780 Ti uses GK110 (Big Kepler GPU) and a 384Bit bus.

980 uses GM204 (medium sized Maxwell GPU) and a 256Bit bus.

Factor in lower cost, that's impressive.

The GM200: GM210 GPU, likely used in a "GTX 1080" (as well as the next Titan) will be something else entirely.

Hazaro and I come from a time that when a new series of cards come out, they actually release the full lineup of products at once.

So, he knows this, but it's still underwhelming.

Proposed routing. $60 in adapters, lol. Front 2 fans would be intake. Top 3 and rear would be exhaust. Goal would be to limit dust.

Mkenyon what kind of adapter did you use on the back side of the 360mm radiator in the PC-V7 build you did?

Bump for bolded.

A 90 degree with an extension to get the tube going straight at the routing hole, IIRC.

I'd really suggest avoiding that double line from the GPU. That'll look really really messy.

*edit*

Ohhhhh, forgot that's a 295 with its own rad.

I'd put that as exhaust on the back if it were me. You don't want to dump that kind of heat straight at your mobo.

It's more of a 'this is exactly what is expected part' and less 40% GAINZ that I feel people have gotten used to.

nVidia pls more value

That's a good point. I was just worried about packaging with the other radiator right above it. I've switched over to the EK 360 XTX rad that has ports on both sides, so now I can flip it if I need to.

I think Precision isn't available right now. MSI Afterburner has bit more of a following. EVGA's newest Precision software might be pretty neat though.

I used to use MSI, but moved to EVGA and have been on it since I have an EVGA card, but i was just wondering if there's something better. Lol

Don't see how you can get disappointed if it's equal or greater to 780 Ti perf, with newer features, more VRAM, less power use, and much lower price.
Basically means at around the same TDP as the 670, it's more than twice as powerful with twice the VRAM, and probably some new secret sauce hardware features lol
That I like B)

Exactly, and I'll be moving up from a 670, no PSU upgrade required yet near on 780 ti performance.... Take my money, take it god damn you!

Fans? I like the Corsair Quiet Series for color matching. Noctua seems to perfom a bit better but are ugly and the cost is pretty ridicuolous. Anything else I should be considering? Looking for quiet fans that perform best at low RPM.

Coolant? Seems like they're all the same. As long as you've got something to inhibit algae growth and distilled water you're set.

A decent 550W would probably be enough and if the rumours of low power consumption in the 9xx are true then 750 might even run two.
Click to expand...

Okay thanks. I currently have a 650W or 750W in my computer and will likely just upgrade the graphics card once nVidia release their new lineup. Currently running a 6950 with 2 Gig and I want to be sure to run 2560x1080 at 60 fps.

I'm really hoping the display connectors will be more modern than on current Nvidia consumer GPUs. 2+ Displayport or Mini-Displayport and 1 HDMI 2.0 would be optimal in my book.

True, though Dual link DVI is on so many of the older 120hz/144hz gaming panels...like the one I have xP
VGA needs to GTFO out though, just let manufacturers add one if they want a legacy SKU idk
I want HDMI 2.0 as well, but I don't know if it'll make it into this round of cards, hopefully it will. Too bad DP 1.3 won't be onboard, that's just too recent.

The bus size doesn't mean anything though. The Maxwell chip is a more efficient chip than the Kepler. The 980 could perform better than the 780Ti.

Might seem like nothing, but it'll have an extra 1GB headroom of VRAM, and it will be $250 cheaper. Sounds like a deal to me. Considering the 780ti is one of the best cards on the market.

If it delivers as rumored, its huge for people like me with a dinky 660ti waiting to upgrade. The price and performance are perfect.

I have a 660 Ti. It'll be a nice upgrade for me as well. But to be fair, the 660 Ti is a nice card on it's own. I can play most games at high / ultra with it. >->

Phobya's line of fans is pretty great. The G-Silents are really affordable for the price. The Phobya eLoops are rebranded Noiseblocker eLoops.

The CoolerMaster JetFlos are amazing performers, right up there with the eLoops and Gentle Typhoons at the top.

Then there's the Cougar Vortex, Arctic Cooling F12s, and Swiftech Helix. All well regarded.

Got my new(to me) parts in today!

Setting the cooler on top to see how it looks.


Installed the RAM and cooler.


Tried it out with a temp PSU, I'll finish the build when I get the new PSU and the GPU in.


Thanks MKenyon!

The quality of that motherboard really hits home when you get to just handle it. Such a work of art.

That motherboard, holy crap. It just fit in my case. It took up all the space, lol.

I'm actually posting from the build right now, using the integrated graphics.

I did have a question, though. I sent you a PM.

Unless Nvidia whips out Pascal/Volta in the next year, I really doubt you'll be seeing performance increases high enough to justify that.

I'm just talking in terms of the road map & how maxwell was pinned as 20nm, I'm sure they'll adjust accordingly once production ramps up. I hope I'm wrong, as does my wallet, but these things always get spinned into a positive for the manufacturers. If they didn't then I'd be questioning their business acumen.

Finished my build! Everything went smoothly, no problems! Now I just have to wait for Nvidia to announce their new Video Cards to get one of my own.


I do have one question though. I have a 4790k, a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo, and an NZXT Phantom 410 case and I wanna make sure my CPU temps are ok.

Idle, it's about 35-40 degrees.
When I stress tested with the Intel Processor Diagnostic tool, it was about 77-78 under load.
Is this all acceptable?

I've only got an i5-3570k, but the idle temperatures are pretty close to what I've got with my 4.2GHz overclock.

Check your voltage in the BIOS. Thats perfectly fine, but a bit high.

Would a b85 motherboard require a BIOS update for an i5 4690? are there any cons vs a Z87 chipset besides overclocking?
