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.

I'll rage quit if EA use Gameworks for FIFA...

MYR 5.0 to USD1 that time...

For example, if you enable MFAA in the NVCP, then select 2x MSAA in a game, you will get the equivalent of 4x MSAA quality without any extra drop in performance; set 4x MSAA in the game and MFAA will convert it to 8x MSAA quality for free, and so on.

I recommend that Power Management Mode be set to Adaptive under Global Settings. For any games for which you believe your GPU is constantly downclocking, you can change this setting to Prefer Maximum Performance under the Program Settings tab to ensure the highest possible clock rates at all times. Remember that this setting only relates to games and other 3D applications, not to 2D applications or the Windows Desktop. Note also that if you run a multi-monitor and/or high refresh rate display your idle clocks may be slightly higher regardless of this setting, which is normal.

It is recommended that Texture Filtering - Quality be set to High Quality on medium and high-end systems, and High Performance on low-end systems under Global Settings. For particular games where you have performance to spare, you can select High Quality, and for those which are more strenuous, you can select High Performance under Program Settings as required. I can see no real reason to bother with using the Performance or Quality options for this setting, given the performance and image quality difference is extremely small even at the extremes of High Quality and High Performance. It's best just to use High Quality if you prefer the highest image quality, or High Performance if you prefer a potential performance boost. Additionally, there's no need to adjust the Texture Filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimization and Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization settings separately; use this setting as your primary control over texture filtering and allow those to be adjusted automatically by this setting.

There is no simple solution when it comes to VSync. Whether you enable it, disable it, use Adaptive VSync, or set an FPS limit, there are always some compromises involved. The only no-compromises solution is to purchase a G-Sync capable monitor, which is worth considering the next time you want to replace your display.

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 ?

Nice. What brand 980 you got?

After contemplating between a 390x and GTX980, finally decided to go for the GTX980. Granted that 390x is way cheaper and almost on par with 980 but I decided for the 980 due to lower power consumption and less heat. GTX980's overclocking headroom is also better but I don't normally overclock my parts nowadays except for testing..... old already.... 

Nice to be able to easily plop in the card, replacing my MSI GTX760, with the same 8-pin + 6-pin PCI-E connectors. Also great to see that the power consumption is about 190w (based on reviews) as compared to 165w on the old MSI.

Luckily my coolermaster 690 casing was able to accommodate the card, only with less than 2cm to spare!

And so, my first high-end card after using mid-end cards all my life!!!! (AMD 9600 pro, 7800 gs, 8800gts, 8800gt, GTX260, GTX460)

Now thinking whether I should go 1440p  (gaming on 1080p all my life too!)

tx 

ASUS STRIX. I got it locally due to worries on postage. Damn expensive in Sarawak.



No pic of the card because I was so excited to install the card. Forgot to take pic.....

Nice you should go with gsync monitor if can. 😊

Why  ? Too expensive is it? 

If I'm in KL could have bought/COD it from LYN forumers for RM500 cheaper!!!!     

Nice you should go with gsync monitor if can. 😊

1440p gsync all the way

hm i replied wrong post. was referring to sjj 

anyway 1440p fps ultra seems doable even on 980ti. probably more so with pascal so why not

question is will you go for a acer predator gsync ips monitor :] ? 144hz gsync ips. rm2xxx

OMG! 1440p my wife will already strangle me. 1440p gsync..... go straight 6-feet under! 

Actually, not willing to spend money for premium gsync tech at the moment.... hopefully next time when the prices comes down.

actually if you already have a nvidia gpu, then you've got your foot halfway into getting gsync capability.

hm... i think that monitor will be in the low 3k range now from what i now heard 
Anyway while your waiting for price to drop. i suspect the next thing to come out will be quantum dot film which they will layer on the panel. Will give better colors. Is the next thing over the horizon :}

Haha TN panel i dont like after hopping in IPS

"Kastam" too strict already 
Same case with you

144fps is  a way to go.
