About this deal

He has been working as a tech journalist since 2004, writing for AnandTech, Maximum PC, and PC Gamer. i gimped over a 1 year on purpose through bios because the damn thing have the black screen issue randomly in games so why 5 stars? joepaxxx - Thursday, September 18, 2014 - link It's not just about having access to the process technology and fab.

Bought mine some days ago, just got it 2 day, installed it, tried first with 100Mhz extra, as I saw Jay2Cent run it at 1500Mhz without any problems, mine took the 100 while staying at 53c, dropped 50Mhz on top, stayed at 53c, and ran test without any problems, but one thing is benchmark's, another games, will c how it do, so fare no OV or MEM OC. SkyBill40 - Saturday, September 20, 2014 - link I've got an 8800 GTS 640MB still running in my mom's rig that's far more than what she'd ever need. I've been wanting to sell off my 1070 for a no-extra-cost upgrade to a 3060 Ti or some models of 3070.Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming. If you think the DSR image is a little soft, the filtering can be adjusted in the Nvidia control panel. Two 100mm downdraft Torx fans provide airflow, with MSI boasting their new fan design offers 19 percent better airflow and five percent less noise (at 100 percent fan speed).

Just picked mine up yesterday, and it's a significantly bigger improvement over my old 770 (2GB) than I expected. The cost of actually designing and verifying an SoC at nodes past 28nm is approaching the breaking point for most markets, that's why companies aren't jumping on to them. In these conditions, the 77 per cent increase in pixel-count over standard 1080p produces outstanding results.It runs GTA V very well, and runs most games at a pretty flawless 60fps or higher on great settings. In the first case, the GTX 970 faces off against its AMD competition - the Radeon R9 290 and the more expensive version of the Hawaii technology, the R9 290X.

The card measures 269mm long, so it's a touch shorter than ASUS's Strix card, though both cards have the same extra tall coolers that take the height to around 140mm. FXAA at 1080p is rather ropey, but SMAA 4x is a lot nicer though it does struggle with sub-pixel detail. It doesn't quite hit the enthusiast gamer pricing sweet spot, but it offers so much raw performance that the additional premium makes it seem like a no-brainer. My suggestion is they send their CEOs over to Intel to beg on their knees for access to their 14nm process. And after that, the challenge is repeated with a brace of Nvidia challengers - the GTX 780 Ti and the top-end GTX 980.DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering.
