2x 970 is best lane up in current time.
Not considering 980/980Ti because is it not price wise. RM3.2k~3.7k for one card is too much.
btw im getting USED card, it is hard to find 980ti in used market.

So it is not a good timing to get 2k/4k now?
one 970 and stick with 1080, wait for better tech to support?

noticed the pascal has mixed precision fp16/32/64
so was reading on what exactly it has to do with gaming :/
bottomline
http://wccftech.com/nvidia-gm200-gpu-fp64-performance/
anyway with pascal will have improved fp64 as well as mixed precision.

will the new doom game be out by the time pascal arrives 

cause thats the game i want to be eye candy pimping on with the pascal 

also theres star citizen as well.

Yes, got one they claimed Fury Nano benchmarked but the article inside shows it's calculated 

what about this doubling of transistors. i heard something about most of that is mostly going to be for hpc compute or something rather than mostly gaming performance, so their performance estimate for gaming was somehwere between 50-60% vs titanx. any ideas :/ ?
do you mean their highend model will come out first ? that suits me fine. but i rather avoid a titan x model, and rather opt for a 980ti equivalent :/ i rather save money when possible xd.

i'd rather spend money on acer predator.

980 to 980ti isn't as good as 980 + acer predator.

10-20% fps gains is nothing compared to 144hz refresh rate, gsync, 1440p resolution, 27'' IPS !!!

besides if you already got a 980 why get a 980ti ? when they just reported that pascal is next year 2016 with double the transistor count and most likely to have gains of 50-60% over a titan x ?

anyway get the acer predator you won't regret 

i thought the glossy part was only the frame not the actual screen 

if screen also glossy i might reconsider :/ cause that would be friggin annoying... (not fan of glossy).
*update

there i double checked
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/panel_coating.htm
so the only issue is the bezel and stand. but honestly, as long as the panel itself is matte then i personally is that big a deal. Of course if another brand came up with a similar specs and performed just as well, but none of that glossy nonsense (when will they learn  ) then yeah i would recommend that instead.

but till then this is the way to go 2016 

PS:
according to online sources this particular model also supports internal programmable 14-bit 3D lookup tables (LUTs) for calibration. so you can caliberate your settings directly into the monitor, so even video sources like when watching mpc would benefit from calibrating this monitor.

the only color cons i can think  for this monitor is it uses the cheaper w-led, rather than gb-r led. Though considering everything else minus the glossy bezel/stand, i still think it's still way better than a tn panel. and it's got 14bit internal lut which is also to me important to have as bare minimum :}  *need calibrator though

Physx is optional too.

lol i dont care about my cpu (well actually i do but less then my gpu) coz i could buy an aio for it and forget about it for at least a year...

but for my gpu...it is hard to make it cool (it is cool and hot at the same time if you catch my drift    ) coz a complete water cooled setup will require a maintenance which im too lazy to do...so i guess the easiest path is aio with the gpu bracket like kraken g10 or evga hybrid solution.

all in all, i hope malaysia will get snow soon so i could oc my gpu to crazy level with stock cooler lol.

weird how nvidia gpu is performing different on linux and windows

*short story

play game only on windows lel
i'd spend my buck on pc, gpu, hdds, etc etc.... water cooling really is the last resort when you run out of things to upgrade. that and mkb 

i understand the temptation of the bling, but in all honestly the primary concern should be the temp. just run a few temp program to track your cpu and gpu temps. if it goes 70-80+ should really go water cooling for sure :]

or even the sound issue. for me this was important :}

sir, i am a NOOB and my chassis is mitx type so i dont care about the internal looks 

errr...i thought it is normal to turn on the heater during winter? because outside is cold and you want the warmth inside the house. Well yeah the wishing for the snow to cool the rig are plain stupid so I apologise for that lol.

I dont know about the AIO dying prematurely, never occurred to me thank god for that but I still favored the AIO coz the simpleness and troubled free (again this may varied).

Again, this is my current opinion, maybe will change later 

Anyway regarding waterblocks apparently the one meant for titan x also works for the 980ti for the EKWB branded one. So some waterblocks will work with other gpu.... but i wouldn't hold my breath if it would on pascal. Moment pascal comes out, my 680 water block is as good as an expensive paper weight 

Haha. Devils canyon FTW. Skylake did not impress me.

Lolz. Here since when bcum skylake toks. Anyway my next cycle of upgrading will be 4k gaming. That means 2017 and beyond. Monitor gpu and cpu all in 1 loot. Hahahaha.

tweakguide updated their nvidia graphics settings guide here

very useful tips like

by the way just wondering, for AF do you all do global ? cause seems like then i'd have to set manually for the game disable af if it has in options    so isn't just simpler leave 3d app, and only if the game doesn't have the option then manually set for that app ?

Woohoo. CGPA 4 ringgit equals 1 USD. At this rate, i think i rather jump 2 volta in 2017. It will need some sort of miracles 2 ever get back 2 zaman 2.8 equals a dollar.

the first dx12 game as far i know
Ashes of the Singularity
http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/212314-d...go-head-to-head
:/ is the game any fun ?

Dam i bought MSI GTX 980 again.

It has 80.4 asiq quality and Elpida Vram

I am surprised that i am running this card @1545Mhz and memory clock 3900mhz (7800mhz).

I can even push more further the vram but it is Elpida  so i am scared to that.
