Don't really know as I never use the Geforce experience software, feels like bloatware to me.

Moving from HBAO+ to SSAO does increase the time before the game hangs, CTD or freezes but it does make the grass uglier.

I'm not touching GFE. I've always downloaded SLI profiles individually or input the bits in NVI.

Honestly, I think most people who has driver issues recently are using GFE? I notice it a lot over the last few months.

Thanks for your feedback, i guess since i am just playing at 1080p, the 780ti is still able to perform at ultra settings, so i guess i`ll hold on to my ex champ than XD, btw the Geforce Experience`s optimization is it reliable ? because i able to pump my 780ti all at quality for all my games =X. Even Assassin`s Creed Unity.

Older drivers are stable or not?

Might want to upgrade whole PC if my freelance job is approved. 980 Ti
But if had to deal with crashes on desktop and in games, I'll skip...
My PC never crashed in game... (except problematic games)

I got a feeling that a 970 Ti and 960 Ti might just appear soon.

There's a gap between the 960 and 970, and between the 970 and 980.

I feel that the gap's quite big.

Price wise (compare within brands), each of them has around an RM 600 - 800 gap.

Performance wise (based on Unigine Heaven 4.0 as reference) there's a 15 - 30 frame gap between each.

I don't recall any 960 that I can OC to 970 speed, as for 970 the one that I can OC close to the performance of a 980 was the GALAX 970 HOF and that costs quite a fair bit more than the usual 970.

Wat time is the announcement ?

It's good to hold on for a bit, seeing that AMD's supposed to be announcing their line-up today. There could be price adjustments.

If you want the "best" time, it is last year before MYR to USD is weaken. Asus Strix cost under 1.4k by then, now 1.7k+.

Anyway, as for now, I don't think there's much thing to wait.

Yeah AMD have new cards upcoming, but the things aren't what we hadn't expected/speculated (except for Fury which is still a pretty well kept secret till now on the details).

970 should be rivaling 390 non-x or 380x, which should be a beefed up version of 290(x). Since it's rebranding, the pricing is not expected to be lower than current retail price of 290x which had being dropped down all the way since 2k+/- to almost 1k.

In other words, I expecting AMD to have a card more powerful than 970, but probably more pricy too.

But whatever, as Goldfries said, the announcement is just hours from now, let's wait and see how true the predictions/speculations are.

Yup, that's why I said AMD's rebranding tactic tend to jack up the price than lowering it. Their rebranded price probably higher than current retail price.

Finally pull the trigger on 980ti amp          only found out later its a 8+6 pin, its not gonna overclock good eh? 

You know that ain't happening right?

Nah doubt that.. AMD launch driver usually half baked plus it's a Gameworks game with crazy Physx effects and absurd tessellation. AMD gonna need new arch to compete with Maxwell tess prowess.
Arkham Knights use UE3 engine which AMD driver is optimized but Gameworks middleware will screw it up.

Just got myself this beast
