NewThalos Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've been rocking the i7 4790k and the EVGA GTX 970 FTW for a long while now, never had any issues with them. They're a great combo with a nice power supply. Absolutely zero complaints with power-modding. Admittedly though, I've had my eye on the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW for a bit now, and that will likely be my next upgrade once the prices drop for Thanksgiving/Christmas.

In your place I would wait till Nvidia announces gtx 1080ti. By then 1080 will drop on price and 1080ti probably will sell for around 770$.

LeddBate Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The prices on the 980 plummeted an average of $100. last month, so I went ahead and upgraded. Mind you, my previous card was a 670 with only 2GB of VRAM, so the 980 was pretty much a monster upgrade for me. sure, I'd like a 1080, but being able to play Witcher 3 with all the bells and whistles cranked up to max is verrrry nice. I hope Mortimer was able to get that ASUS card. Paired with that PSU, he will have a winning combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortimer Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I hope Mortimer was able to get that ASUS card. Paired with that PSU, he will have a winning combo. Just got the card today, along with some better RAM cards. Will have a crack at installing it tomorrow (although I wonder if I should wait on the fan, which is still being delivered). P.S. Techworld ordering was fine so far thanks, BlackRose (I suppose I shouldn't celebrate till the cards up and running). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyOfRims Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Actually is not the 32-bit that limits Skyrim but DX9..... and is limited to 4GB of vram on modern windows (Win8/Win8.1/Win10) that are really easy to reach if using 4k textures.Me not sure where you get this information from but memory values are reserved by it's program not by dll'sTheir are many software that use dx11 and still are written in 32 bits, why it's lot easier and less time consuming.This is also the reason Beth soon have skyrim in 64 bit native which can't be runned on a 32 bit os. He is talking about Win8/10 limitation for DX9 games. https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1263324/gpu-memory-allocation-limit-on-directx9-windows-8Wow that's quite a shocker so if installed Windows 8/10 and your GPU have more then 4GB it would only allow 4 GB that suxs dunky cock with those bitches at Microsoft. Guess I go back this weekend to I windows 7 (pardon my France but this really made me quite mad) They're all wrong. I did testing and Skyrim on win10 can easily use over 4.1gb of vram. Ram also has no problems going over 3gb with enb. Chances are the people that tell you those lies are only using 1080p and are regurgitating things they heard someone else say.

Mortimer Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well, all bar the fan is installed. I tested out Skyrim with a bunch of 'low-spec' mods suggested in another thread and for the most part run at a 60 to 59 fps, unless I spin around 360. Abit of a large fps dip on starting a new game. Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
