Hello All, So last year I purchased 2 GTX 780Ti's for my long term build (5 Years). Right now my system is holding up fine, but I have noticed a huge jump in GPU tech and increase in VRAM usage on newer games over the last 6 months. Most of the games that I have now are fine, but I have...

Just to clarify, I currently have 2 GTX 780Ti's in SLI

Hello All, So I am trying to decide on a monitor upgrade for my newly built computer. I am looking for a monitor that has a refresh rate greater than 120 Hz (144 Hz is good) and has G-Sync. I like the ability to turn my settings to high or ultra if the option is there and I tend to crank up...

Hello All, I recently finished a new build and I wanted to check to see if my temps are normal. I have a i7-4770K (running stock) and a Corsair H100i with two Noctua NF-F12 PMW (running full speed, 1452 rpm) fans. I have the radiator mounted on the top inside of my case in a pull configuration...

Hello All, I was reading the news regarding VESA adding 'Adaptive-Sync' to the DisplayPort 1.2a standard and I have a question about that. Do you have to have a GPU that has a 1.2a DisplayPort to connect to a monitor that has a 1.2a DisplayPort to take advantage of 'Adaptive-Sync'? I...

Ok. I believe I have my answer. Thank you to everyone who replied. Now I just need to wait until the Asus G-Sync Monitor is back in stock, then my computer will be complete :)

That is the thing for me. I have to make this build last at least 4-5 years. Also, If I did, I would lose the ACX cooler for the stock cooler. Would it be worth it to do that?

Hello All, So I have a question. I recently purchased two EVGA 780 Ti SC's w/ ACX cooler and I am now hearing that there will be a Titan Black, with 6 Gb of VRam. I currently have a 1080p 23 inch monitor, BUT I will be upgrading to a 1080p 120hz monitor or 1440p monitor, both with G-Sync...

I tried that and I would still get tearing. Maybe I did not turn on the right "adaptive" option in the Nvidia software, I am not sure.

Hello All, I am new to Nvidia GPU's (came from two HD 4890's in crossfire) and I have a few questions regarding GTX 780Ti in SLI. I currently have two EVGA GTX 780Ti SC w/ACX in SLI, and I noticed that if I do not have V-Sync active there is a lot of screen tearing (mainly in AC4). I...

It looks like I did forget that setting. I ran the benchmark again with the 8xAA. Same stats as last time. Here is my results (definitely lower). Sorry again

I apologize, I will double check my settings and run it again. Sorry it was not intentional

Updated Entry per the instructions. 780Ti Superclocked w/ ACX x2 (SLI) 1006Mhz (Boost: 1124Mhz entire time) 1750Mhz Memory

Hello All, I just finished my new build. Here is my information. I was not able to print screen while it was running (not sure on boost clock), but everything is stock.

It looks like the R9 290X DirectCU II will be available in Mid-January. This comes from JJ (Asus) himself. http://pcdiy.asus.com/2013/12/asus-r9-290x-directcu-ii-preview/#comments
