whats the gimmicky crap?

oh you know

 

[Brainiac]

so who's picking up a 980 Kingpin gpu on february 1st?

any word on Specs?

 

[Vader AL]

haven't seen anything official...probably 4 gigs vram though. And pretty lights on it.

Here it is on EVGA's site: EVGA - Articles - EVGA GeForce GTX 980 K|NGP|N Classified Coming Soon

This monitor is interesting though especially those who currently use mutliple monitors for gaming: Acer Predator XR341CK 34" Curved Gaming Screen with G-sync

I was going to get the regular Classified 980 but I think it would be wasted on me, I have the 770 Classified and I havent tried overclocking or anything, its probably my system atm but those higher spec cards are usually aimed at overclockers, I might go for a 980 SSC at the most and save some money
besides the Classified is 599 pounds so this would be a little higher I suspect

 

[Solidus]

That card looks insane. Do any of you guys have custom water blocks set up for your GPUs?

I plan on upgrading my 780 later in the year. Hopefully, there'll be some good sales around for a 980 come Black Friday.

Did EVGA sort out the problems with their 980? Cooler not aligning properly if I remember correctly. I still have an EVGA 680SC that I'm looking to upgrade soon, I still like the Gigabyte card for this current gen.

 

[Vader AL]

Yeah gotta have water or liquid nitrogen for the Kingpins to really shine. I really want to move to open loop water soon but want to get another mobo first since I want to upgrade that this year.

EVGA is announcing what looks like a closed water cooler for the 980 reference design GPU's on february 1st too...might take a look at those.

Started to properly play Elite dangerous finally.... the Hyper space (FTL?) effects are so cool!! With my trackIR 5 plugged in allowing me to look around it is almost trippy.

 

[snappahead]

oh you know

I do? I hate not knowing what I know.

 

[Brainiac]

I do? I hate not knowing what I know.

better than not knowing

 

[Kibagami]

I wanna know now.

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, spill the beans, Brainiac

 

[Mr. Green]

weird the fan makes noise then stop then make noise again but not as loud.

and man, those gpu are mad, using liquid nitrogen now?

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, the 900 series cards are more resilient to heat than the previous generations, and the fans only kick in when they have to.

 

[snappahead]

better than not knowing

This is starting to feel like an Abbott and Costello routine.

Just bought TombRaider and HitmanAbso for 168 rubles.

Bless you, Gabe Newell!

 

[DeadLeaves]

Wow, $3.20AU. Done deal.

How many rubles a month do you pay for your internet plan?

*edit* ok, 80% off, would be great if I didn't already have them. I should really just wait for these deals.

450

2-3 years of w8ing well spent
It's not like these games were $60 good. Not even $30, TBH.

 

[DeadLeaves]

Yep, I've been good lately. Last game I bought in the first week was Alien Isolation. I'm gonna play the waiting game in the future, not the paying game.
