I'm just bamboozled to my euclidean core that you have only 2 posts in 12 years

Pure Zen style mate.

Albeit I hate reading politics here on TPU. All "fun" things are very expensive... and that's a rule. No money, no honey.

The new Nvidia cards don't have DVI-I anymore and I like my crt monitor. Do you guys know of an active adapter that would support 1600x1200 on a crt monitor?
The startech dvi-d to vga adapter states support for resolutions of up to 1920x1200 but that does not work on crt monitors apparently.
On my crt monitor, the startech dvid to vga adapter is only capable of delivering 1280x1024.

Mhrmm... must be expensive thou.

That's not enough... you still need the active adapter. I think apple had some sort of thing from mini display port for their old cinema panels.

OT.

Way off T.

But, wtf? you've been a member for almost 12 years and that is only your second post? Are you like some sort of 'sleeper' tech nerd? Did you know we have SSD's and 10 core consumer CPU's? We don't have flying cars yet but Tesla might get us there....

None of this is meant to be offensive - I'm just bamboozled to my euclidean core that you have only 2 posts in 12 years

Some people prefer to read what people are saying .. than just typing, Everyone knows how to speak but very litle how to listen... so 12 years I was reading comments without a single reply ... can you do that? I guess No.
Now I will wait for another 12 years to post again... I prefer reading than writing.

Also...didn't Greece go belly up bankrupt? I think if you go that far off point it's fair in closing to point out Greece is a dying hell hole presently. Back to this card it is quite a piece of hardware as I said earlier, holy crap. Imagine this is a neutered version, this isn't even it's full capability...hopefully in not too long we say that as the ti version.

So you can't run CRT natively on Nvidia's new cards? I had heard this but wasn't sure, that sucks I love my 21" crt 2k monitor. Works like a charm great color and instant response time no ghosting or any of that crap.

 

[dalekdukesboy]

You always were harsh (or more critical) of noise from cards and coolers. But that's a good thing. Lots of sites dismiss or don't even mention sound output as a metric.

Maybe I should point out the obvious...stock coolers generally suck? You would almost be pro Nvidia if you were to overlook the fact that the cooler barely keeps it cool enough and the card throttles due to heat output. How could that not be relevant to the performance in a review of a graphics card? One of the most important thing on the card is the cooler...the more bad ass the hardware is the more cooler it needs otherwise you got a fried piece of hardware in mere moments in the extreme end of no cooling.

I'm glad I helped you make another comment. I'm not so glad you seem to try to offend. A forum is for conversation, not passive stalking.

I know about coolers. My reference is to TPU measure of sound being more 'critical' than others, which is good. I don't think I would buy a stock card and keep the cooler.
I've water-cooled my past 4 gfx cards starting at my 7970's.

I do see your point and I actually have a bone to pick with Wiz about his literal obsession with quiet. But I do get it and it is relevant I just think he adds/detracts too much to a card depending on how that metric goes. To me I've got fifty million fans in my case and my air conditioner is in window near me so yeah, noise? Long as it's not a tornado in my case like the 220 cfm fans out there and I'd still have fun with those for air cooling. My main concern is does it cool? Yes, ok good. Does it cool really well? Yes, ok really good. Is it not loud or very close to my other fans? Yes, then excellent all good.

Actually, AMD's video hardware was never bad. For HTPC use I think it was always better than Nvidia (don't quote me on that, that's what a friend that's into movies tells me). That's huge, if you look at how much more resources Nvidia has.
AMD's problem has always been their drivers. With DX12 and Vulkan, the drivers become more of a shim and the optimization becomes the burden of game developers. This could save AMD, but could also leave AMD in the gutter if developers decide to do half-assed jobs as they usually do.

Even with quality drivers, AMD cant get away from the fact their architecture is inferior to nvidia's ATM. GCN is good, but AMD never had that maxwell-style optimization, and as a result they only match maxwell in performance per watt, despite being on a much smaller node.

What they need is a complete overhaul on GCN, but that wont happen without money, which AMD isnt making right now. And we all know how much game devs love supporting an underdog. AMD relying on an API might be their final undoing.

Wizz, any chance in the future will have the 3440x1440 resolution tested as well please?

CRTs have analog vga input, and Nvidia "followed the lead" of AMD and Intel and ceased support for analog, so their new cards do not have native analog output (dvi-i), only digital output (dvi-d) which require an active converter to transform to analog.
Problem is i already spent $60 cad on a converter that was supposed to be good for up to 1920x1200 but it is not (the 1920x1200 refers to wuxga standard and is still 1080p which is all this converter can do).
I searched the web until blue in the face, i learned a lot of things but still couldnt find a converter that is guaranteed to work with my 1600x1200 crt monitor. Its a freaking mess and i was hoping to find help here but nobody seems to know anything (or care) about this sh*t.

I've seen and used DP to VGA adapters, but I've only used them with widescreen resolutions. I don't know if it would for you.

Find someone to donate him a monitor and I am sure this could happen.

He uses a 3840x2160 monitor. He could do it. The problem is that no one uses that resolution. If you look on the July Steam hardware survey you'll find that 3440x1440 (as well as 4K) is in the "Other" category with 2.03%. I assume that 4K takes the majority (or at least a plurality) of that 2%. If you look at 2560x1080, which I also assume has a higher market share than 3440x1440, it sits at 0.35%.

"The performance uplift against the GTX 980 Ti, NVIDIA's previous-generation flagship, is 37%."

According to Relative performance at 4K Titan X is 78% faster than 980 Ti not just 37%.

Not sure why you think reading what people are saying in a forum about a product but not posting is stalking. Maybe you were thinking of a chat room. Yeah, reading and not posting anything in a chat room is kind of odd. Also not sure why someone goes to the trouble of making a membership and not posting but maybe they want to use the PM or to be able to just read what the most recent posts are. Last year I ran across a guy that had a membership for 10 years and made his first post here.

For years I read what people were saying about PC components as related to a gaming rig here and didn't sign up for an account. It's a good practice because you can learn things from experienced and knowledgeable members here that you might not find out by reading articles alone.

I wish I could argue with you there...

It's not as much following the lead, as a limit of the VGA connector itself. If simply doesn't have the bandwidth to support today's resolutions (it tops out at 1600p or so, I think). CRT monitors have died like 6 or 7 years ago. Putting analog VGA on a card launched in 2016 is just shooting yourself in the foot at this point.
Also, for all those having short memory: yes, CRT don't have ghosting issues, have better colors (that didn't exactly work in favour of plasma), but they also come bundled with geometry and focusing issues. Anyone still remembers those monitor testing tools and how many tests you had to check to see whether your CRT was set up right?

Edit: spelling

 

[Jeffredo]

Why such a magnificent GPU with such a marginal cooler? Shame.

Ok so you have a technicality with setting up your monitor and I assume what you're referring to is like mine especially on CTD or moreso blue screens and other reasons computer hard restarts or shuts down the width/height of the monitor when rebooted is off by a centimeter or two usually too small and you have to go into settings and stretch the image back out to fit properly. Otherwise I've had zero issues with this monitor whatsoever and it's 2004 vintage. Also I assume you meant "testing" tools. I saw resting tools and it made me wonder if it was a term I was unfamiliar with.

Due to the WOW Legion patch, which changed all engine parameters, the old results are invalid. I won't waste time rebenching until after Legion release, to avoid having to rebench several times when they change something.

Ah well good to know you havent fully stopped benching WoW, hope to see some benching from Legion in the near future !

 

[HopelesslyFaithful]

question...So if this had proper power and cooling could this maintain 1850MHz or higher? What kind of over clock vs stock are we talking here. It is really hard to guage what FPS you get with BF3 with what the actual effective clock rate is. Can we get some clarification? I wish you would do a hart on OC showing MHz and FPS over a time graph so we could see what is going on.

I am really interested in how this or the 1080TI will do with proper cooling! Thanks!

Also the day GPU vendors offer no heatsink with a reduced price will be a god send! I would water cool if I didn't pay that extra 100 bucks for a fucking cooler -_- Those coolers (AIB ones) are not cheap.

Also WTF is Nvidia's issue selling a 1200 dollar card with a shitty cooler limiting its performance! Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy it out of principle for them selling a pre-mo device with a shit cooler that hurts its performance -_-

What is shitty about the cooler? It delivers stock clocks at acceptable noise levels. I apologize on behalf of nvidia you can't massively overclock it on the OEM cooler. If you think this is remotely a bad cooler for noise or performance level I assume you have never held a 290/x, 390/x, GTX295, 3870X2, 4870X2 or similar in your hands.

its a pre-mo device with a cooler that throttles on stock clocks...WTF are you talking about?

You didn't even read the review did you....plus it is pre-mo enthusiast device....enough said.
