went full retard and bought Asus MG279Q cannot wait for XB270hu  long waiting period (up to 1 month) got Ass Creed Unity and DLC as free game bundle together

the box kinda retarded as well for missing the Q but its the same model

dunno worth it or not in terms of price . But dayummmm the moment playing BF4 at 144hz feels like playing call of duty , will I miss G-Sync or Freesync ?

I dont know but IPS + 144hz is a whole new experience for me at least .

But what disappointed me is the OC potential is so low. My old MSI 6G is better. And the score for 3dmark is the same for both card and pros of this card is more silent and more cooler. Should I RMA this card?

zotac gtx960 display problem on DELL u2415 but ok on DELL E2014

thanks

Just got the Zotac gtx970 dual fan .

Temp at idle sitting at 60 celcius

Previous Asus ROG Gtx 760 striker sitting at 42 Celsius idle because the heatsink is big

Now play gtav, my room feels like sauna.

i'm aware of that and do you recommend an aio wc or a custom wc?

If you want to watercool gpu custom wc is the only solution.

for instance, pick a gpu with a mid plate preinstalled (some models of evga and msi have it; better mosfet/vram cooling).

maybe a good news to you: 980ti ref /titanx can use mid plate from some of evga 980ti models that still follow standard pcb layouts. adjustments to install bracket are needed (eg. in the case of kraken g10, maybe don't install the nzxt padding thing at the back of gpu pcb, and getting a set of washers to cope with additional thickness due to mid plate). you can get such a mid plate from taobao. (sold separately, cheap)

i use kraken g10 because it can be reused across generations of gpu. (it's just a bracket to hold things) when i used it with my 980ti ref, it was not even in the compatible gpu list yet. for those without mid plate, you can run the fan on bracket at full speed (don't use pwm; just connect it to mobo header; if you wanna keep using it by connecting the fan cable to gpu via a compatible y-cable, customize your fan profile accordingly with apps like msi afterburner).

edit: oh i think you need a 1mm copper shim also. check out these videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weV0FlahyDo , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2SFSYl60jk

May I ask, your current 280X is good enough for you to run every game on 1440 all high? (Am thinking to get an 1440p instead of 4k monitor, planning 1080 next month)

hmm...gonna sell my r290 soon.....not sure gonna get GTX 1070 or r480....ofcus prices is my first priority........
