My GPU temps shot up to 101 degrees while playing Batman. Upping the fan speed is ridiculously loud.

My 760 is staying below 65c with the new Batman.
No probs so far.

I have it preloaded as well.

I don't know how many hours you put in BF3 or the beta, but I was on this game a lot on PS3, so I'm sure I'll find the time to play the shyt out of it now. I'm taking a plunge copping it for PC though cause I have hella friends on PSN that will be getting the game on PS4... I already have though, so it's whatever.

And you have to put in a ton of hours to hit that 100 mark though. You really expect everybody to do that?

NVIDIA has just informed the press that their newest flagship GeForce GTX 780 Ti will arrive in 10 days for the price of $699.

Along with GeForce GTX 780 and GTX 770 price cuts NVIDIA announced that the upcoming GTX 780 Ti will cost $699. I think this pretty much confirms that we are looking at a new flagship, replacing GTX TITAN at a lower price and with better performance.

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti is expected to feature similar specs to GTX TITAN, with the same number of CUDA cores and 6GB memory. Technically we are looking at a faster clocked TITAN, which will finally be available with aftermarket cooling solutions.

The $699 price point is definitely much higher than AMD’s R9 290X. The fact that NVIDIA reduced the price on GTX 780 while announcing new $699 card could only mean that GTX 780 Ti is much faster than both mentioned cards.

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 TI – $699
• AMD Radeon R9 290X - $549
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 – $499
• AMD Radeon R9 290 – $449 (tbc)
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 – $399

NVIDIA also announced that everyone who purchases GeForce GTX 780 Ti, GTX 780 and GTX 770 will receive a free copy of:Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

I applaud the green team on lowering their price and giving out bundles. Made me reconsider my future purchase. Once the specs and info about the 290 and non reference R9s come out I'll make a decision but I'm leaning towards NVIDIA now.

I just thought of something. Is there any way to use my HTC One as a bluetooth device for gaming? Like say i want to send and receive messages in squad on BF4...is there a way I can use my phone to do that?

@2gunsup @daze23 @Orbital-Fetus

what are your guys take on LLC and under/over shooting?
not sure how i feel about overshooting yet, but it made me a bit uncomfortable

example:
i set 1.360 vcore in bios
ultra llc (load) = 1.378-1.384 (+.018 - +.024)
high llc (load) = 1.344-1.352 (-0.16 - -0.08)

i set 1.380 vcore in bios
ultra llc (load) = 1.392-1.400 (+0.12 - +0.20)
high llc (load) = 1.368-1.376 (-0.12 - -0.04)

is it generally better to have a ultra LLC with a lower vcore or just high LLC and a higher vcore?

780 price drops are live on Newegg. 770 dropped to $329 I believe.

You should be fine as long as you don't have huge spikes over 1.55 and your temps are kept in check.

Use this for reference,

 

[DF is BUSY]

a +.020 vcore spike isnt so bad you think? but then again i guess if i look at it logically.... this was during stability testing and not a damn thing in real life usage has enough oomph to push my chip enough to hit the ocassional spiked volts right?

 

[kash10003]

goddamn at that price drop, how much is the 780ti?edit: nvm, 699,

so theres no more point in the titan anymore
