Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

Honestly I just want a 2560x1440 S-IPS with a higher refresh rate. I would even be content with 80hz.

Certain Catleap monitors can do that (up to 100 hz). [Achieva Shimian QH270 and Catleap Q270]

[aussie-revhead]

Wow, I have never heard of those , and so cheap to, why? How can these be kept so secret ? What about input lag ?

The ones that do are no longer in production. I know that a guy at OCN is trying to get them to manufacture another batch. I really hope that they do.

Secret! Have you seen the size of the threads about those Korean S-IPS displays at OCN and [H]?

[AliG]

I just glanced at those threads - they're huge! As fr as I could tell, you aren't truly guaranteed 100 hz but overall they are still phenomenal monitors for the price

That would be cool, but not likely right? Who over dreamed we would be overclocking our monitors .....

Nah I dont go on those forums at all.

I only do XS and OCAU

The problem with those 90-100Hz IPS screens is that they still have really high pixel response times. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a high Hz if it just blurs the same as any old IPS screen.

Response times can't be that high if they're running at 100hz or so with no artifacts. I haven't heard any complaints of visible ghosting or input lag.

Very unlikely, the monitors that did overclock had a different pcb which isn't being used on current displays. I haven't heard of anyone receiving one that does in quite a while.

To be entirely frank, I couldn't care less if it has average response times if they sell for $350. That's the same price of any ordinary 27" monitor with a ty 1920*1080 panel

[aussie-revhead]

true but half of the appeal is gone if they only run 60hz, Im torn now between this and the Samsung 120Hz 27 for similar money ......

Resolution is weak though; if I shell out $400 for a monitor it's going to be for one that is bigger than the 1920*1200 I currently have

[aussie-revhead]

yeah I know, weak resolution and twice the frames, or good resolution and half the frames, tough choice.

[BababooeyHTJ]

I've really been debating picking up one of these displays but I do like having the higher refresh rate and I would miss 3d vision.

[aussie-revhead]

Do we have a thread for dedicated discussion as we are in the 780 thread lolol slightly OT ...

Well, you would need a gtx 680 to be able to truly game at 2560*1440 with aa

[aussie-revhead]

Yeah true

Actually, there was a random surge of like 3 in two days, hah. But those were the last of them from those sellers. There is supposed to be about 1200 in existence according to the manufacturer.

Also, you need a 680 to push 120Hz at 2560x1440 as ATI cards can't push past 100Hz due to pixel clock limits. I'm fighting with AMD support and trying to get them to admit it. They initially stated DL-DVI and DP could both do it, but its not working so well.

Why is it that every time I go onto this site it seems my wish list gets longer and longer

More info leaks on Nvidia's dual-GPU GTX 690:

More leaks from the all too common source of Chinese channels confirms that Nvidia has a dual-GPU GTX 690 in the works, This card will likely be released shortly after AMD tries to steal the thunder back from Nvidia's GTX 680 with their HD 7990. will be based on the GK104 silicon and require the juice of two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.

Nvidia is supposidly setting the PSU requirement at 650 watt+ which seems oddly low for such a beast (assumed) of a card. It sounds like the chips may be slightly down-clocked in order to reach this TDP and keep temperatures under control.

Ok, Nvidia, 4GB or bust.

[iMacmatician]

A straight doubling of the 680's 195 W TDP is 390 W, which is just 15 W more than the 375 W limit of 2x 8-pin. Given that dual cards seem to have lower than 2x the TDP of the corresponding single card, wouldn't it be possible to use two 680s without any core/memory spec reductions?

Although I don't quite know how the 650 W PSU minimum fits in here… it's between the 580's 600 W and 590's 700 W, so maybe the 690 will have closer to 300 W TDP than 375 W?

Standard engineering protocol: always have a safety factor. You never want to push something to 95% of its thermal envelope if you can avoid it

But you've already accounted for that in the design of the 680.

If you do it again, you're doubling up your safety margin.

So, 195w and 375 watt (slight power saving) seems perfectly fine. Ie: not underclocked gpus.

Ignore the "650w PSU" number imho, it'll only generate some confusion.

It doesn't work that way. You are adding a second gpu to the same pcb - your safety margin goes way down, not doubled. Even if thermals wouldn't be a problem power could be; there are very good reasons why these companies allow us to overclock the dual gpu cards to the same speeds as the single gpu variants, but don't release them as reference cards that way.

[boxleitnerb]

With dual cards, not everything is doubled in terms of power circuitry. You can save quite a bit of power compared to two separate cards.

This, I would go as far as saying that's one of the major reasons dual GPU cards exists in first place.
