ASUS GTX 980 Ti STRIX Gaming 6 GB

erixx · Dec 10, 2015

Just received it. Installed it. No coil. No problems with LEDs not being configurable. No room issue in InWin H-Frame.
This is a non-factory-OC model. At stock in 3DMark i got 45% Combined better results over stock GTX980.
Overclocked at +100 Mhz core and 140 Mhz Vram, I got 55% Combined improvement.
Physix results are 4-5% worse. Might be slower GPU core?

sorry for joining in the bump
but no problems with it in "stock" factory oc form real quiet
did wish it could be a tad more consistent in delivering 1080p 60 fps in gta 5 on ultra tho

Don't worry, people that need information sharing do not mind "bump" or "necro" bullshit!

30% cooler ! what a lie ... 84c-30%=58.8c

Did you pass math class?
You have to multiply 84 by .3 because .3 is the same as 30%. Then you will get 25.2. You subtract 25.2 from 84 and you get 58.8. The reason you subtract 25.2 from 84 is because that is 30% of 84.
84 x .3 = 25.2
84 - 25.2 = 58.8

Multiplying it by 0.7 would be more efficient.

I know. But I just wanted to explain how you would do it if you needed to find what amount of the original number the percentage equals

needforsuv · Feb 5, 2016

i am sorry for the bump but running at 70% the temp of original would be -19 c or 70% of 363 kelvin
but 30% cooler (difference from room temp) would be 25+(90-25)*.7=25+45.5=70.5
so its correct

First of all, how did you even get 363 kelvin? 363 kelvin is equal to 89.85 Celsius. Oh wait, look at that. That's 5.85 over 84 celcius which is when NVidia Boost will decrease the clocks to keep it at a maximum. So that would not be possible to get 89.85c. Also since we're talking about the temps of the card, it's not a good idea to round. Also why would you subtract original temp by 30% of it then multiply the difference by 70%. Multiplying by 70% is just illogical and adding 30% of the original temp back is illogical too.

intel cpus are rated to run at 70c but they can get as hot as 90-100 on stock coolers same here
30% cooler is NOT 70% of the original temp
but 30% cooler is 70% of the temp difference
i dont even know that you mean by subtracting 30%
maybe you need to learn to math
10c is not 50% of nor 50% cooler than 20c

Hmm look here: "intel cpus". Stop trying. You've been proven wrong and are now trying useless tactics. The GTX 980 Ti is an NVIDIA graphics card and intel cpus are made by INTEL.
CPUs and graphics cards are NOT THE SAME THING.

EITHER way its TOTALLY possible for things to EXCEED specs even when in conditions not outside of specs so leave so room
my point remains if you DO take 30% cooler as running at 70% the temp of something you CANT multiply in C you have to use kelvin AND THAT END UP in the negative it is YOU that is wrong

May I ask why you need to change to kelvin? Please cite the source.
And also why would 30% cooler be 70% of temp difference?

Okay, so here's what I meant by subtracting 30%:
In the equation you provided, "25+(90-25)*.7=25+45.5=70.5", you subtract 90 by 25 which is what 25.2 rounds to which is 30% of 84. So what you did is you subtract 90 by 30% (25) and then multiply by .7 which is finding 70% of it. Then after all that you add that to 25 and get 70.5.
That is what I mean by subtracting 30%

You says its possible BUT remember this:
"Idle temperatures are fine with even the idle-fan-off feature we love so much. In gaming, the card does not get anywhere close to the 84°C temperature limit at which NVIDIA's Boost will start reducing clocks to keep the card at a maximum of 84°C"
That is a quote straight from the review. I'm pretty sure that it will not exceed 84 degrees Celsius by 5 degrees Celsius.

and
"

was the whole point you cant multiply c when its a straight number you can only multiply it when its the difference of two numbers otherwise its not correct maths
YOU cant multiply 84/whatever by .7/.3/whatever because that would mean 0 is the base temp and its NOT even if it was you still cant simply it down to
whatever*.7
because
0+(whatever-0)*.7
where 0 is the room temp
is a special case
and
25+(whatever-25)*.7 is not the same as whatever*.7

25 is NOT 30% its room temp
90c is max 25 is room temp
(90-25) is how much hotter the stock cooler is compared to room temp
30% cooler is
25+(90-25)*.7=70.5

as for the max temp NOTHING is impossible
just google it
"nvidia stock cooler 90 c"

ACCORDING to your logic that an nvidia gpu can NEVER get past 84c
30% cooler would be
25+(84-25)*.7=66.3c
and if you multiply the stock 84 c by .7 or take 30% of 84 away from 84 (84*.7) that is not correct maths
x% cooler means the delta between room an max temp is (100-x)% of the orignal
if you try and multiply the max temp by x% than it will be
running at
maxtemp * x%

in this case it would be

357.15*.7 kelvin = -
-23.15 c which is even sillier
30% cooler would be the same in this case
357.15-357.15*.3=357.15*.7

First of all, you have to remember that this card is being used for testing purposes so they would have NVidia Boost on.
Secondly, use a scholarly source; Wikipedia is not a good source. Anyone can edit it.

I LEARNED it in school its you that needs to learn you cant do math like that
ALSO even with nvboost on you can certainly make the card hotter than 84
say in a case with only 1 fan stock intel cpu with slight oc on stock cooler....

Great card this one. Since I installed it I play games non stop and forgot nearly my beloved hardware forums! (in fact it is the last component added to my build and all runs so good it can't be true) So sorry but ...

!
edit: grammar...

Ragee · Mar 1, 2016

It sure is a great card but I get no where near the same results as the reviewer. For example the benchmark in Metro: Last Light the reviewer got on 1080p 125.9 FPS while I got 73.07 FPS. Yes, PhysX is turned off.
My spec is:
Intel i7 4790K @ 4.4GHz
16GB G-Skill Ripjaws DDR3 @ 2133 MHz

Just seems strange that it is such a big difference also when it looks like I got better specs on my PC.

How are you benchmarking it? Are you using the same settings he is? Clearly a 2x performance is a big difference.

Ragee · Mar 1, 2016

I am using the same settings or at least I think I do. I am starting to suspect that in that benchmark he actually has SSAA turned off cos when I turn it off I get 127 FPS.

EarthDog · Mar 1, 2016

No clue how he does it here. We use the stand alone benchmark and a preset Ultra.

Yea that's most likely it. That's probably the only setting in that game that can cut your fps in half like that. Running at SSAAX2 is like running at 1440p and X4 is like 4K
