Is it worth it to upgrade to a 970 from a R9 280X for less heat and more performance?
Cause my tiny room can feel the heat already when I started playing games on my PC

Brand new 970 should be around RM1500, yesterday saw someone selling his ASUS 970 strix at RM1000 (not sure still available or not). If u prefer brand new then better get that gtx980 strix at RM1.7K (pls check whether it is local warranty)
*
The 970 Strix no more already
The Gigabyte 970 G1 which I liked around RM16xx
Not fishy considering the price is so low for a brand new 980? sweat.gif

That is why you need to check carefully, possible cod is better if you want to buy.

He said local warranty and need to register at Asus warranty
Can cod

If got local warranty then should be ok, but must get receipt, i heard Asus Malaysia won't accept walk in customer for RMA case (to be confirm).

He said no receipt but will create own invoice hmm.gif

He will create for you? If brand new sealed item shouldn't be worried too much
*
Yes he claimed that he will create for me as he is not an authorized dealer
He will also provide 1 week to 1 to 1 exchange

Jump ship from AMD to Nvidia, now a lot of games are crashing at launch
Used DDU to remove AMD and Nvidia drivers but doesn't fix the problem

Any suggestions?

Games? Drivers version?

Honestly, Nvidia do release buggy drivers from time to time, install back older driver sometimes more stable and better performance.

353.30
Sleeping Dogs, Assassin's Creed Unity, The Witcher 3, GTA V managed to run but whenever there's an event triggered it will crash the game

Hmm, seriously no idea, driver should be fine and the card had being around for such long time, hadn't heard such problem for the particular card.

The worst is try on a clean copy of windows + drivers.

I'm gonna try the 353.49 driver

last I heard 347.88 is the last best driver. The recent batch is all went crazy.

Anyway, I just heard some news about GTX950 coming out in Aug 17th, 750/750ti is getting price cut to make room for 950.

U guys have any idea how long would our local retailer to reflect the new 750/750ti pricing?  hmm.gif might need to get one soon.

I found out what caused the problem, it's from Duet Display

Is it normal for Strix 980 VRM to reach above 80 when playing games and above 85 when overcloked?
