which 970 did you get?
i got the 970 FTW+ addition.

I got the reference GTX 970. It's a Best Buy elusive.

i read that there were issues with the fan noise with the stock 970s.
the 970 FTW+ comes with a back plate that the 970 and 970 FTW versions don't.

the back plate helps with heat dispersion and looks sexy.

Feel kinda silly for buying that 980 a few months back. No free games with it.

I feel like the simp that took a chick out to dinner and a movie and brought her back to her crib and I get the back pat hug then as she's walking away from my car I overhear her making the call for some other guy to come through and blow her back out.

I gotta get a 4 or 5k monitor if nvidia doesn't fix surround. The titan x sli can handle it. I've been fukking around with DSR and shyt performs well (and it's the only way to use all my gpu. 1440p keeps it stuck around 50-60%....shyt is weird)

If anyone knows what smurfing is on CS, I just got permanently banned on one of my smurf accounts via Overwatch, why do they let low ranked people do overwatch cases as if they even know the difference between smurfing and hacking? I dropped like 38 kills with a desert eagle :dead:

here is the demo if anyone cares to watch it: steam://rungame/730/76561202255233023/+csgo_download_match%20CSGO-pzGfo-BuFoT-dW4iS-xec32-ozioE

Yeah, it does 4k real well. I gotta step my monitor game up. Too bad surround is all fukked up. 6k surround would be the shyt, and I know the Titan xs can handle it. fukking nvidia though fukking up surround. They better fix this shyt soon. I don't really wanna buy a 4k monitor after just buying 3 1440p monitors, but I might. Right now I just play everything at 4k with DSR. Only game that can't handle 4k right now with the Titan xs is ryse with all the settings at max. That game is really demanding in places (especially in the forest with all that grass). Dragon age is also too demanding to max out at 4k. It does 60fps at 3k though.

I got crysis 3 to run at 6k maxed out at 40-50fps. I haven't tried 4k yet, but I'm guessing it'll run fine at that resolution.

I'd play at 6k surround always, but the fukking artifacting is too distracting

I think I had to turn shadows down to 'high' to get 60fps at 1080p in Crysis 3 (with my 780)
