    Looks like it was closer to 80 under load (the value measured is from after the load dropped off).

    Cool. Can you confirm did you have any judder during Elite with stock 970? Settings on high?

    only core and memory clocks show max, temp and rest are on current value.

    However constant boost at 1516.4 MHz is quite impressive.
    What was the base clock? 1330MHz?

    Stock! STOCK! You disgust me! :hehe:

    I honestly didn't even try it. You'll get a tiny bit of judder even running 980s - but its more SDK/engine related than anything else.

    Just get the fastest GPU you can afford, and avoid SLI like the plague - it introduces a boat load of latency to head tracking.

    Hi all,

    I have a hardware itch that I need to scratch!

    Currently have a GTX770 and a GTX580 that I have been holding onto as a backup.
    Could my current system (PSU mainly I guess) take a 970 upgrade?
    What kind of performance increase would I be looking at, rough percentage wise?
    And finally, how much do you think I might get for selling each of the existing cards?

    Clearly I like the idea of a cheap upgrade :)

    Yes, your current system will take a 970, and yes the PSU will handle it, plus you will likely see a LARGE increase in framerate ;)

    Chuck up a price check thread in the MP for the other two cards, but you might manage about 150 on the 770 and 80 on the 580 (maybe)

    Isn't yours an enermax though? An enermax 450w psu is at least 10,000w in real world terms ;-)
