Which GTX 1060 (6GB) ?

[ponder]

Ha ha.

You're obviously getting 2x Titan X cards in SLI to watch 3D 4K porn?

On second though it might just get here by friday,

Push that pedal to the metal!

You're basically guaranteed you will have it by Friday at this point.

Placed an order for the Zotac 1070 @ R7,499 from Wootware.

Still need to do the EFT ...

PS: R9 270X for sale

Going from a R9 270X to a GTX 1070 will cause your eyes to bleed.

Moved some money around and pulled the trigger!

With the Rand tanking and likely to get worse and this deal from Wootware, it was the right thing to do ...

It arrived today, busy downloading drivers.

Got my 1070 today. Tempted to roll back to Win 7, as this thing is going to be so fast not much use having Win 10 just for DirectX 12.

I actually like win10, just a few minor annoyances.

Can't max this gpu out at 1080p or 1040p, something funny going on. Beer time.

Damn man, you really had to sell your house to afford a new card.

What do you mean max it out? Like 100% GPU usage?

What game you using? Open the Unigine Heaven, that'll max it out.

GTA V

Yes I can't get the gpu to the normal 98/99%. I've got Unigene Heaven installed but I'm missing some MS visual C stuff and I cant remember which version is required.

EDIT: Ok solved the the issue as it requires the 32-bit stuff as per https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5555

Ok so I got a 66.5FPS/2783 score on valley, played a bit with overclocking which I'm not familiar with yet as it differs from maxwell but got 69.6FPS/2912 and this is on the max Ultra HD setting.

 

[Soul Assassin]

Any games lined up you want to try or replay at higher settings?

GTA V is heavy on the CPU, if it bottlenecks there it won't be able to use more GPU power. What CPU you have in the system?

Got it sorted, played around with the settings and it's mostly pegged at 99% now.

Watched an interesting video the other day about how previous-gen Intel CPU's actually bottleneck Pascal GPU's. Will post it if I remember.
