falcon_120 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Sorry off topic but had to ask. If I buy a new GPU do I need to deactivate all my Modules so as to not losing an activation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhinox Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 No. Re-activation is triggered by some amount of "hw-change points". Even if GFX alone does not require it (and I am not sure if it is so), he might have just cumulated enough to reach threshold (i.e. if he previously added RAM, or changed CPU, etc.)...

SkateZilla Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 R9-290X will be $550 MSRP, and beats the Titan in pretty much every game they tested (cept Skyrim). In both FPS and Frame Timing. For $450 Less than the Titan.

cichlidfan Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Well at $520 I pulled the trigger on the ASUS 780. Anyone interested in a year old Zotac GTX580? :) Specifically, this Geforce GTX580 3072MB DDR5AMP2 Actually, getting closer to two years old, after checking.

kk0425 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Same here; EVGA 780 GTX 3 GB version for about the same price. It should arrive in the mail tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how much better it is over a 570. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbelter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am holding out purchasing another 2GB 680 to set up SLI. The reason is that I fear that 2GB of graphical memory won't cut it for EDGE. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I meant 'pixels', btw. :) Basically, if you are running a single 1080p, about 2megapixels, screen then 2GB should be fine. My main monitor is 2560x1440 (about 1.7 times the pixels) along with a 1080p running Helios and my 3GB card handles it just fine without maxing out the VRAM.

kk0425 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 After some playing around, I did see an increase in framerates, but not as much as I expected. Just need to wait on EDGE now to make use of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbelter Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 My framerate has been killed by mods... from ~100 to ~60, and from ~60 to ~50... Just have to figure out which one did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) The 780 is finally installed. I didn't have the time for serious testing but some quick comparisons make me think it was worth it. This is running in a PCIE 2.0 slot so I am not taking full advantage of the card right now. A quick fly around in DCS, with most things on high and plenty of mods, jumped from an average of 40 to 60 in a daytime flight. P3D is getting nearly 60fps flying over MegaScenery 2.0 Switzerland (much less over the UltraRes New York City. ROF showed about 85fps with everything maxed (no supersampling or bloom). Based on this I might upgrade the 660ti in another machine. :) Luckily it will fit, since this thing isn't small. Here is a pic of my Zotac 580 next to the ASUS 780.
