[ VideoCardz ] NVIDIA launches GeForce GTX 960

That's an interesting conundrum. Would it outperform something that does not exist, or does something that does not exist therefore have no limits? :D

[ VideoCardz ] NVIDIA launches GeForce GTX 960

Eh? What 3-year-old card? Or do you mean 3 1-year-old cards? :sneaky:

GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

Not sure if it's a technical problem on my end... I've tried clicking all over your post and can't find your link to the testing from all of those great games from 2014.

I can't tell if you guys bemoaning the 2GB are joking or marketeers. For example. Surely the 192-bit (or 128-bit?!) memory interface will be the bottleneck.

GTX 970/980 owners thread

OK don't rub bacon on your 970's heatpipes, it just smells like rotting meat when I game now. :(

[gamegpu] Dragon Age Inquisition performance

To be fair, you could apply that sentence to just about any game released during the past decade...

GTX 970/980 owners thread

Tried rubbing the exposed heatpipes with a rasher of raw bacon and it really does fill the room with the most wonderful smell when gaming now.

GTX 970/980 owners thread

I've been disappointed by that, too. Ninety reviews of the MSI Gaming (none of which picked up on the fan-omg-stahp issue), eighty-eight reviews of the EVGA ACXes (I think one of them picked up on the Heatpipe to Nowhere), but no blower goers. I felt better after I ate a bar of chocolate.

GTX 970/980 owners thread

I heard that you can eliminate the coil whine by leaving FurMark running for a good few hours. Probably a safer first step than overvolting. Just joined the 970 club at the weekend - was hoping for the MSI 4GD5T as it's difficult for me to justify such an expensive card already, but they only...

Moar GTX 960 rumors

I have my fingers crossed that this will release in the next four hours! Otherwise I will have to settle for a 970.

What was your most awesome video card purchase ever ?

The original, or the 220? The original was my first 3D card, back in the days when MW2 meant Mechwarrior 2. (I still get confused when articles today talk about "MW2", and it takes me a few seconds to realise they mean Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.) But I digress. Most awesome card...

Why are reviewers so recommend happy?

I researched tens and tens of reviews before writing this post, and it's true that within those tens of tens of words written for each review, there's was generally a recommendation across all the tens of tens of reviews I read. But surely reviewers are limited to reviewing tens of tens of...

Evil Within - mandatory 4GB vRAM requirement

They were, but they were diluted down to 1.64% due to all the entries from people who would never buy a game like this (and it only listed 4095MB, not 4096MB cards, too). From 75 million active users that's still a potential market of ~1.2-1.3M people. But I'm really just arguing the toss...

Gaming monitor recommendation

As you haven't mentioned watching TV or movies, you should probably rule out 16:9 screens, as that's the only area where they beat 16:10. A 1920x1200 screen will be extremely useful for editing 1080P video in full-screen, as you'll have additional space for toolbars. Games and general-purpose...
