I'm curious, off the top of your head, which games have the best scaling at 4k, and which have the worst?

I think the reason was AMD has the first run of memory modules secured over NVidia.

What is the time frame on the next generation? Isn't it in the distant future? Reports have indicated it's most likely Q3 or Q4 2016.

Let me first say, 4k is awesome. I love it. However, one 980ti leaves me right on the short side of what I consider acceptable frame rates. In most games I can set them to ultra, and then bump a few of the big performance hitting settings down, and I'm around 40-50fps, which I can live with...

So you're now saying the patch wrote itself? Can you program? I'd like to hire you.

Now you're irrationally assuming every single AMD user is going to boycott every developer that doesn't cater to their performance aspirations. That's absurd. If AMD is unable to pull out of their nosedive, they will eventually go out of business. Then what are you going to do? Quit gaming...

They didn't take shortcuts, your way down on the priority list. There will be no flood, lol. AMD users do not possess sufficient market share to affect any substantial change, and it's shrinking every day. You claim I'm hung up on nameplates, yet you feel compelled to force developers to...

Awesome, thanks! Now my WMP works. I figured it was trying to software decode.

It's also important to understand all of the complaining done by the AMD community hurts them in the long run. People (myself included) hear the constant complaints and problems by AMD users requesting special patches, fixes, waiting for patches before playing games etc. When it's time to...

The purpose of that statement was to explain the futility of that mindset.

That's been said for the last decade. Meanwhile AMD's market share shrinks further and further. It's because AMD users are not a priority, as evidenced by your own experiences. It's not about "learning to program." It's about having the time to optimize for a small minority of their...

For most developers the consoles are the priority, and the PC is secondary. Usually the visual improvements you see are disabled features on the console sacrificed to meet the frame rate target. If a few features have a decent visual impact, or it's highly requested, the project lead may...

While the Witcher uses some NVidia optimizations, it also SLI scales like total garbage (18% @ 4k). So it's pretty indiscriminate from a hardware manufacturer point of view. A minority utilizes SLI, it isn't priority.

I've worked as a modeler and artist for a few developers, and this is a pretty common sense approach I would think is self evident. It's not necessarily who has the best optimization and proprietary implementation, it's the consumer base that drives these kinds of things. It's not about "fair"...

That's what you see as an AMD customer, because that's how it directly affects you. What about from the perspective of a developer? Can they not prefer a particular manufacturer due to the ease of integration, or the visual impact of those 200 tessellation points?

I'm a little indecisive on the whole NVidia/AMD optimization debate. I am getting a little sick and tired of the AMD whining about how they feel neglected. I'm starting to have the opinion that if neither are going to set some sort of standard, someone needs to take the lead and move forward...

Yeah it got better with the more recent patches. It went from like 40% FPS impact to like 20%, didn't it? Seems absurd for a finesse effect.

I can tell you right now, an i7 6700k isn't enough CPU to software decode h.265 at 4k. My CPU was at 104% utilization (don't ask me, windows 10) and I was getting intermittent stutters and freezes. I had to download windows player classic, which uses GPU acceleration, and that lowered my cpu...

From what I've seen it's poorly implemented and murders performance (see Witcher3 Hairworks). The mark of a good engine is being well optimized. GTA5 is the perfect example of a perfectly optimized engine that scales beautifully. Crytek is the perfect example of a poorly optimized engine that...

I'm wondering how my single 980ti will do at 4k. Debating whether or not I should add another one for SLI.

I've recorded and played back several 4k videos without any issues. However, for some reason, I cant play x265 videos in WMP, VLC, or 5K video player. It almost seems like some sort of driver or hardware issue. Has anyone had any similar experiences or ideas? Fixed it, bad codec installation...

Yeah, I assumed that would be the case, but I haven't seen any product annoucements, have you? That's probably 6 months+ away if it isn't even on the horizon yet I would assume.

I honestly don't see how the top card gets any air flow being literally a few millimeters away from the other card. Just how much hotter do they run? Doesn't that cause them to throttle?

That's a really cool build. I can't make out what case that is, but it looks like a Corsair Air 240. I bought that case (actually still have it in the corner) and my 980Ti Classifieds don't even come close to fitting, they were hilariously too large. So I must assume those 980Ti SC's are much...

I have it installed in a Thermaltake V21, which actually has a pretty decent amount of room for a cube case. I've never actually seen an extender up close, it would only have room for a few millimeters of depth (assuming there is no IC's in the way). I did the custom loop game for the better...

I'm sure this is probably a commonly discussed thing, but I'm curious how exactly this is going to work. I have an evga 980ti classified (the biggest video card ever). I'm looking to add a second in SLI, however I'm staring at the PCI-E slots on my Maximus VIII Gene, and the top cooler's fans...

cant find anyone that sells it. amazon has no listing, newegg doesn't have it, ESEA doesn't have the gtfx (just about all of their vendors on their website).

lol yeah I can tell you right now, that wont work. I cannot even get the card seated in the case, period. The problem is the shelf past the IO shield mount, it simply cannot fit. I tried installing the card and then sliding the mobo into place, but it hits the rim of the case. All of the...

Does anyone have a Fractal Node 804? What are your opinions of the case?

That's a good point. It's hard finding good solid GPU fitment information.

Depth as in the width of the card (how far it stands off the motherboard), not the length. From what I was reading it has 160mm of depth for the GPU. My 980Ti Classified is 158mm deep, meaning I wouldn't be able to attach any power cables to it (I presume I would need 20mm additional...

Unfortunately I'm doing SLI on a mATX board, and I believe the M1 is a Mini-ITX, isn't it?

I'm primarily (and I should have mentioned this earlier) looking for a cube form factor case. Here is the hardware I'm installing: Intel i7-6700k H100i GTX cooler Asus Maximus VIII Gene mATX (2) 8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 (2) eVGA 980Ti Classified (2) 2.5" SSD's Samsung SM951 NVMe...

I'm considering this case, I like the way it looks. I'm a little turned off by the gigantic hole between the two sides and the random white (?) components, though.

I don't believe it will fit a 980Ti Classified, it's not deep enough, which is the problem I ran into with the Air240.

Apparently a 980ti classified doesn't fit in a corsair Air 240. Not even close. What mATX cases can fit an evga 980ti classified in them? Anyone care to chime in?

Nothing some black plasti dip can't fix.

I couldn't agree more. I got a chrome IO Panel with my Gene.
