Planning to get gtx 950, is it sufficient to play games like D3, Starcraft 2 @ 1080p with ultra settings?

Yup,it it's enough. Though i'd suggest you to get Zotac GTX960 Single Fan 2GB GDDR5 RM739 from Cycom..i think the cheapest GTX950 costs around RM699..which makes the GTX950 not worth it IMO.

I prefer to have the look as well & backplace...so i will go with Zotac Gtx950 @ Rm799 (currently on promotion)

Haha have fun yoh

Nvidia is planning to lock down "Game-Ready" drivers to GFE sometime in mid-December. You will need a verified email add + install GFE and have it running compulsory to get driver updates.

Screw off nvidia. Go dai in a pit wet shit fire plis.

#goingtoAMD

Hurm, no offence but I dont find GFE+verified email is bad thing. Already use GFE for 6 month, never crash. Email?I thing everyone have that

as much as i have no feelings towards GFE, i still find this move irritating

theyre essentially forcing people to use their software. its not exactly all rose and daisies on using GFE to update drivers too, i still get the occasional stuck at "downloading" even after finished 3 hours ago

No offense taken but something as basic as graphic drivers shouldn't mandate an e-mail address to obtain - weird weird move..
lots of protests around - i hope they reconsider this or i'll be moving to AMD next from my current GTX680.

Hurm, I dont know people find this annoying. Maybe they want hassle free. Im not on any any side and if they can provide the highest FPS and stable driver I will choose them. And for now it's green team

Not about it being bad or not. There are people who just don't want to use GFE, period. Why must a driver be tied behind a software wall? Free or not, like I said, it's about choice.

For me personally, I just don't like unnecessary bloatware. Guess what? GFE is an unnecessary piece of software.


Pretty much. I find no point in using GFE, ever. I always like tweak .ini files to maximise IQ, instead of relying on in-game settings which in recent years has been atrocious.

i have GFE installed cause i like Shadowplay, but otherwise it looks like a beta version atm, some of their features arent working as well as it should

EDIT: but you have to look from the other side though, Nvidia's optimisation would meant easier for people to set graphical settings, esp those mainstream ones who wants something like a console experience. where they just want to game, not tweak around

though, tweaking around is enjoyable too. i enjoy it as much as playing the game

I completely understand. Which is why GFE should be entirely optional and those who has a use for it, then that'd be great.

But why must it be forced upon everyone? I mean, like I said, I don't use shadowplay, I don't care about pre-set settings because I like to do my own stuff and you know, Nvidia's game ready drivers this year has been pretty shitty to say the least of which I'd like to cherry pick the best set and go from there.

Agreed. I dont like things to set it up for me. Every enthusiasts knows this, for newbies it might be alright but forcing everyone to do it? Bad move nvidia.

I find it funny that someone just simply said 'everyone got an email' regarding the email subscription. Its simply missing the point

Anyhow whatever stupid things nvidia do, someone will put the downloaded driver from GFE and uploaded it online, with modded INF to support every card to date so its a non issue.

Yeah. It's just another extra time-wasting step now to first extract each new driver available from GFE.

GFE took forever to launch when I click it from taskbar, keep getting "not responding" message, have to wait for at least 30 seconds to launch the UI, and then click the tab will have to wait again for it to respond. So much freeze

Is this same for you all or just me?

Because of nvidia backend problem.

Anything unnecessarily mandatory = bad.

Also, got once or twice, the auto driver update by GFE caused my system to go haywire.

Manual install/update still my preferred choice.

Extract new driver from GFE? Currently GFE downloads the driver exe same as what you download from Geforce.com website.

You can see all the drivers downloaded from GFE here: C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NetService

Like Najmod said, you can probably get the driver from other reliable 3rd party source such as Techpowerup or Guru3D since they have been hosting the driver for quite a while now..

hai guys ,,what is the market price for old msi GTX 670 PE ..never overclock

I no problem download from GFE yet
