I was playing this weekend on my rig and had a pretty good experience at 1440p. I'm running FXAA and everything else maxed, but pure hair off (not worth the 5-8fps). Kept a 40-60fps rate with my overclocked GTX 980, which is perfect given my G-sync monitor. I do get random stutters mostly when...

I've been beating the benchmarks in this original ariticle with a i5-4690k and GTX 980 at 1440p. Average 55fps with everything on Ultra except Foliage distance is set to high

You pretty much answered your own question. With the soon to be launched DX12 and all games eventually being designed around it, why would you buy an obsolete card to save money? I have a MSI GTX 980 gaming 4G and love it, you won't be disappointed.

MSI GTX 980 Twin Frozr Gaming 4G here Got it overclocked to 1444Mhz core, 7.5Ghz memory clock. Stays at 68C under load, feel like I have more headroom to push this card. Running 11,600ish in firestrike currently, will post screen shot later http://pcpartpicker.com/b/3CkTwP

i have a 980 4G. I increased power limit to 122% in afterburner with temp limit following at 91 degrees. I set up a custom fan profile curve to go 100% at 55 degrees. Note the fan curve only affects one fan. The 2nd fan kicks on at the 61 degree point with my card. I run at an effective core...

For sure, NZXT made my life easy in the cable management department, whole build only took three hours. Just had to spend a little extra time being tidy in the back as the H440 is so tight behind the motherboard tray. Everything else I didn't use is hidden neatly behind the PS shroud.

Nice! Here's a couple of mine:

You can actually run higher ram speeds as long as the motherboard supports it, your selection does. I'm running G.Skills Ripjaws X 2133 right now with a i5-4690k. It defaults to 1600 in bios, you just have to enable XMP and manually adjust the ram speed to whatever the ram you buy is rated to...

Everyone who bought a 970 because of the ROP count raise their hands. *crickets* The fact that they got the spec wrong does suck but the benchmarks are what most everyone based their purchase on and those numbers won't change. Hopefully there is no underlying issue like this with the 980 I...
