If it was me I would just get it done, by the time you pay fees on selling your card if thru ebay you would loose the $100 probably. In UK you can't even fill your car up for $100 unless it's a little one. Depends how important a possible $100 saving is.
This is to good to be true lol , bit the bullet , that's an amazing deal , what have you got to loose ? Sorry if I miss it , but why is he selling , and why dose he want your 7970 . Buy buy buy , no sell sell sell , s.h.i t go for it .
He doesnt want my card per say, but if hes giving me $300 for it but can sell it for $400 then he can make an extra $100. I am going to go for it. My plan is to keep both cards and get into 3d as 3d almost halves your fps. Or I might use 3d for my non-simracing games only because you are forced to not only be at only 60 fps, but also with vsync on, so too much lag for my racing sims for me. So, disable the 3d for sim-racing but enable it for everything else. Hopefully getting used to 3d in my non-sim games won't spoil me for when I need to disable it and run 120 fps / 120 hz 2D Lightboost for my sims. I needed some convinving from you guys or I would have probably just said "screw it" and went for a used, single, non-Ti 780. Thanks guys!!!
To be on topic: I just bought a 750 TI and I must say that the performance in rF2 is Fantastic! Everythings fine! I play with details on high (except track: that is max) HDR on, road refl. high, shadows max (include shadow smooth fast), 8xAF, 2x AA with 8x SS, 1440P and on top of it, it is so cool and quiet that I can turn off my chassis fan! Strongly recommended! (at least for everyone under a 660) Greets Pete
You use 8x supersampling and 1440p? Are you sure? That would normally kill even a gtx 780, let alone a 750ti..... EDIT: Wait, first it says 2xAA then it says 8x SS???...I don't get it. So you are using 2x antialiasing but 8x supersampling? Isn't supersampling the form of AA? How are both treated as 2 seperate options with 2 seperate amounts of AA? Nvidia AA settings always seem so confusing to me.....
I assume he means Transparency AA that he's using 8xSS (in NVCP/Inspector) as opposed to whatever sort ISI is using with their PLR option.
Yes, sorry for the confusion! I mean Transparency AA setting in Nvidia 3D manager. But one mistake I made nevertheless: it´s only 4x. Greets Pete
So SS doesnt stand for Supersampling? Sorry im not too familiar with all the nvidia settings but I am very curious as I just went back to nvidia for the first time since my first ever GPU (FX 5600)
With nVidia Inspector you can set normal AA and transparency AA separately, so you could have e.g. 4xMSAA + 8xSSAA.
Hi Everybody, The results are in. The 780Ti has arrived and is installed. Very pleased with the results overall. Three screens connected to one card: one via HDMI and two via DVI-I. The HDMI output feels slightly less clear than the other two though (is this an issue with HDMI output, my cable or something else?) . There is a third "D" port whatever that is. EDIT: fixed this visual quality issue on the monitor by using an HDMI to DVI adapter into the monitor. Anyway, these are the FPS using Build 494 and the standard test described in page 2. Red = 780Ti single card 3GB Blue = 680 SLI 2GB x2 picture share VRAM usage is around 1.8GB for 16 AI at Silverstone. With the 680s it was just over the 2GB level. Temperatures goes to 58C under load
95°C is the maximum operating temp of a 780ti, according to http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780-ti/specifications If you force the fan to maximum does it still get that hot? How's the airflow through your chassis?
Airflow in the case is fine as I've whipped out 2 680s and there is now just this card ... will check the fan operation...
oh ok I think I got it. So the 4xmsaa is basically just 4x regular good old aa, and the 8xssaa is 8x supersampling aa, but that 8x supersampling aa is only for the "transparent" objects like trees, fences, etc. while the rest of the scene uses 4x regular non-supersampling aa...Is thst correct?
I used to always have a slightly different picture with my HDMI as well. Also, HDMI is jnferior to DVI and Displayport as it cannot do more than 1920x1080 or more than 60 Hz, well until HDMI 2.0 I believe. I would use Displayport for the third monitor if you can, rather than HDMI.
