I love my 2080 Ti. I'm glad I got it. I'm not happy about the cost though. Every game I have runs in 4k@60fps with high to ultra detail which is what I wanted. I put mine under water cooling so it stays quiet & cool even under Furmark. I loved my 1080 Ti too when I had it but this just gives you...
I just wanted to add my 2 pennies worth. I have no problems at all with my Palit RTX 2080 Ti. I have it water cooled with a Kraken G12 & Corsair H60. It runs at around 1960 on the Core and I have a +600 OC on the memory. Temps never get above 60. I game in 4K. Probably the most graphically...
F.W.I.W. I have had the Palit 1gb for about 2 weeks now.
I have it running at 780 core /1504 shader /4096 memory .
I haven't tried changing the voltage yet with MSI Afterburner. My temps are 37 on idle rising to 68 on full.
The fan is really very quiet & can only just be heard when running...
Joshlet, first off in response to your initial question. Your motherboard will be fine and there will hardly be any difference in performance for today's cards using PCIE 1.1 or 2.0. Future cards maybe but none of today's.
Secondly, as soon as I seen the title I knew this thread would be...
For me, I just go to the Nvidia Control Panel.
Click on the + for Display.
Go to Change flat panel scaling.
Then choose Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed-aspect ratio.
Then Apply.
Then any games running non widescreen have borders for me.
This doesn't work on all monitors apparently, but...
The 158.43's run great for me.
Games like Prey and Quake 4 run flawlessly. Lost Planet DX10 demo works great too.
I've never had an issue with the scaling ratio's in any of the 150+ drivers either.
The difference in FPS between Vista and XP is pretty much now negligible and in some cases now...
I have tried the DX9 and DX10 versions.
To be honest there doesn't seem to be that much difference visually??
As for performance, it depends what resolution and settings you set, but there doesn't seem too much difference in FPS between XP DX9 and Vista DX10.
At 2560x1600 4xAA & 16AFwith...
Really ? And some people forget a thing in life called humour. Lighten up. It was meant to make people smile. I've been fixing, selling and upgrading "VIDEO cards" & PC's for 24 years and don't need a lecture about why they're called what they're called.
I agree, you just can't beat typing away in Office, Excel or Access in 2048x1536 res with 8xAA & 16xAF !! & Sage Accounts in SLI & Dual Screen is amazing !! :cool:
It sounds like you either need to reseat the heatsink and maybe put some thermo paste on there, or you could have one of the earlier 7900GT's with the inherant problems. :( No amount of cooling is going to help your cause if so. I recommend you bite the bullet and RMA it. You will be really...
You must have stopped the Nvidia display drivers that run in the background. Without these it doesn't remember the settings that you save so sets clockspeed to default on reboot.. Have you used msconfig to stop these? If so just untick again or re-install drivers.
