Thor. Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Ya I may get a EVGA considering the price drop sense the ti version which have the same clock speed as a galaxy version, i may get me one tomorrow lol. Nah!!! i'll wait until the end of the month, sense the ps4 is on its way at least something will keep my thoughts away from upgrading a bit until then lol. Then there would be better after market coolers out like Gigabyte-Asus-evga and so on. http://i.imgur.com/8ms4Wis.jpg Edited November 3, 2013 by Thor.

ermacos Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I just find out that the Gigabyte windforce gtx770 is dx11.1 but other models from other companies are dx11.0 is it possible? I send an email to gigabyte as a question. http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4692#sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Nice find, the gigabyte models are the best of there kind, just be careful of the build quality like mentioned before. Also i am indeed getting a gtx780 instead of the ti i think this time around. but they claim it does 4k which is promising. I'll just have to wait to find out, maybe get for Christmas. Nice site to find retailers in your general location that sell gigabyte models, homepage has them listed in Canada, not to many do except for one in Calgary. When it comes to coolers EVGA has a good reputation for solid fans, there is a slight chance of poor quality when it comes to gigabyte. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX47390 Not to many retailers allow you to opt out of a warranty plan, though sometimes nice to have, but when it comes to faulty cards, when it comes to that just send it back to gigabyte. It cuts down the price a lot, sense they usually have a 3 year warranty plan anyways, its like paying twice for something you already have. Edited November 4, 2013 by Thor.

FMod Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I just find out that the Gigabyte windforce gtx770 is dx11.1but other models from other companies are dx11.0 is it possible? I send an email to gigabyte as a question. Not precedented, AFAIK. A brand just solders chips on a board. I don't believe they can in any way affect the DX version. They might be able to downgrade it (using obsolete firmware), but not upgrade. Unless there's some sort of new chip revision, which I don't think there is. I'd lay as much as 50:1 that it's a simple mistake. Gigabyte isn't the most scrupulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermacos Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) I think its real, for example ASUS brand, has all models by NVIDIA with dx11.0... but GTX 780 is 11.1 (they may got improved chipsets (newer revisions). Bellow is the proof : http://www.asus.com/us/Graphics_Cards/GTX780DC2OC3GD5/ and gtx 770 http://www.asus.com/us/Graphics_Cards/GTX770DC2OC2GD5/ Anyway, I send my request to the distributor today! I asked an offers for 3 different cards 1) AMD radeon r9 280x by ASUS (directcuii edition)2) GTX 770 4gb by Gigabyte (windforce edition OC)3) Gtx 780 3gb by ASUS (directcuii edition) I waited for 290 reviews and I am not interested after I read them. Its away to hot!!! Also its away to noise and it consums a lot of watts (470). But it costs 399 and that alone beats gtx780 . Even if you wait for custom coolers, how much they will consume?! 550watts? Its more like a 280x crossfire or gtx770 sli...

Thor. Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) That's what i was thinking when i read the reviews, it runs way to hot. Another reason why i may wait a bit until he ti comes out, again get for Christmas this time around. The gtx780's at least run fairly cool, Which is a great thing. :thumbsup: Edited November 5, 2013 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMod Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think its real, for example ASUS brand, has all models by NVIDIA with dx11.0... but GTX 780 is 11.1 GTX 780 has a different chip, GK110.GTX 770 are all GK104.All 770s are the same chip. I waited for 290 reviews and I am not interested after I read them. Its away to hot!!! Also its away to noise and it consums a lot of watts (470). But it costs 399 and that alone beats gtx780 . Even if you wait for custom coolers, how much they will consume?! 550watts? That's not even remotely true. www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R9_290/24.html http://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/R9_290/images/power_maximum.gif Maximum consumption is 263W. That is the same as Titan and marginally less than 780 or 7970. It's also considerably less than GTX 580. Where did you get that 470W figure? Remember that source and don't trust it - that, or you misread it for total system draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermacos Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) look at that http://www.anandtech.com/show/7481/the-amd-radeon-r9-290-review/15 and that http://www.techspot.com/review/736-amd-radeon-r9-290/page8.html In video gaming is about 380 stock clocks. I made a mistake with the prev comment, but its still very high. My old gpu is gtx480, very power hungry, but these cards (gtx780, 290x, 290) does not give you the chance for crossfire or sli or its extremly expensive!!! Look at this http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_r9_290_review_benchmarks,10.html How much it costs you, if you play 4 hours per day and 5 days per week for a year. Gamers play more than that... And here is an extreme measure of power consumption! http://www.legitreviews.com/amd-radeon-r9-290-4gb-video-card-review_127216/12 As u can see, its not about the what the box says, but in real performance. GTX480 said 280 or something, but it used up to 450... 290 and 290x reminds me FERMI and they have 65db of noise!! Louder than my sound system (kidding). As I said, these cards are good for solo card, not for CF or SLI. Edited November 5, 2013 by ermacos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) MEh wattage is not much a consern with me right now, i have a antec very high quality modular gaming 1000 watt psu, with two air intakes. One on the top inside the case and one as normal facing out. Although it can impair the idea of having a third device inside my case, but its worth not having to worry about not meeting system requirements. Edited November 5, 2013 by Thor.

ermacos Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 when I bought my gtx480, AMD made a funny video to ditch my baby gtx480... So I hated them since... Here is the video Now its time for revenge... :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
