    Bigger, better monitor for cad?

    Those monitors you listed are fine for home use or amateurs, but will not cut it for professional CAD work! Why are you rolling your eyes at the fact her mac has a far better screen than the POS screens you have bought?

    EVGA GTX 980Ti (Reference Cooler)

    I've not noticed any difference with the backplate. I tried running without any fan profile in Witcher3, and within minutes the GPU hits 83C and starts thermally throttling. I am still playing about with fan profiles, I have this at 70% at the moment: I'd prefer to at 60%, but I don't...

    EVGA GTX 980Ti (Reference Cooler)

    I've never even thought about it either, until I could smell burning and went to investigate and discovered that the bracket was too hot to touch!! :) Yes I've set a custom fan profile now, still tweaking how much noise I can tolerate versus game performance (overclock, GPU boost, and not...

    EVGA GTX 980Ti (Reference Cooler)

    I've also just added the EVGA backplate to my card, as they claim up to 3C lower-temperatures, plus it protects the back of the card :) https://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-BP-4995-B9

    EVGA GTX 980Ti (Reference Cooler)

    Many thanks for coming back to me. :) Witcher 3 my metal brackets get too hot to touch also, that combined with the burning smell concerned me. I've had Nvidia cards since Nvidia started as a company, and I don't remember this on any other card. I installed EVGA PrecisionX and selected...

    EVGA GTX 980Ti (Reference Cooler)

    Hi, I've just upgraded to an EVGA GTX 980Ti from OcUK. This replaces 2xEVGA GTX 780 in SLI. Using the default fan profile, i.e. no software other than latest Nvidia drivers installed, the rear metal mounting bracket gets to 70C, and I can smell a burning plastic smell. I fear for the...

    The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

    I'm having issues with dual-screens, GTX 980Ti and Windows 10. There is an offset of 5 pixels from screen to screen. The mouse will get stuck at the very top going between the two. The two screens are aligned in the Display Settings. If I mis-align to compensate, it gets worse. Screen grabs...

    The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

    I'm just playing GTA Online and The Witcher 3 at the moment. I also like Subnautica, but there's not so much to do it.

    normal for 980ti?

    Using the latest Nvidia drivers and GeForce Experience settings I get around 50fps, sometimes a little lower, other times 60fps in 1440p. This is with Nvidia hairworks set to all.

    The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

    OcUK said to me: Mine is too hot to touch, I measure 60-70C on the metal bracket under load.

    The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

    :confused: the GPU core is at 80C under load, not the air. EVGA seems to disagree with you.

    The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

    GPU temperature is fine, it will hit 83C in The Witcher3, but around 60C in GTAV. I'm now running EVGA Precision with a boosted fan profile to keep the rear bracket cooler. But, anyone with a reference cooler able to confirm that the rear metal bracket gets very hot?

    The GTX 980 Ti owners thread.

    EVGA GTX 980Ti reference overheating? Just received my EVGA GTX 980Ti "Reference Cooler" from OcUK. This is replacing two EVGA GTX780 in SLI (also Reference Coolers). Prior to that I've had GTX580, and then a long-line all the way back to inception. The rear mounting bracket of this new EVGA...

    Corsair AX750, can it handle 2 GTX 780Ti cards?

    I have two GTX 780 in SLI with an AX750 and I'm getting occasional lock-ups. In my system I'm getting close to the 750W rating of the PSU and I'm wondering about that.

    GTAV performance thread.

    Win10 Nvidia 352.63 SLI Just upgraded to Win10 and my smooth 60fps GTAV has become unplayable with SLI. Runs at 60fps, then stutters and hits very bad fps for a while. I've had to disable SLI and drop the quality down :( :( Any workarounds for Win10 SLI?

    M65 vs g500s

    I've had a G500s now for about a year. I absolutely hate it. Upgraded from a Logitech G9. Currently looking at Corsair M65 as a replacement.
