EBay tip, filter buy it now

You get both flat rate and make an offers and don’t have to deal with bids

Should I sell my K2? I’m gunna sell my 970.

[GigaBusterEXE]

Here’s a comparison of your options

[FaunCB]

I think I’m going to track down a K40 when I have some stupid money and just sell both the cards. I need a new phone.

[GigaBusterEXE]

970 will probably sell for more

[FaunCB]

I was legit going to list it for 150. What should I list it for?

[GigaBusterEXE]

Type in 970 in EBay, filter buy it now, list 5-10$ less that the lowest buy it now option if you want to sell it super fast, if you can wait then sell it at it’s trending price

[FaunCB]

looks like my 150 mark was accurate

[GigaBusterEXE]

They’re going for 200$ though

[FaunCB]

I see lower prices than that just search nvidia 970

[GigaBusterEXE]

Don’t forget to exclude bids

[FaunCB]

Huh.

Well alright

this wasn’t my first Nvidia card in this system, so mine was 0004. after i FINALLY got it working in the X16 slot, it was 0005

oh, and on that topic, even tho i was only running a 2400G (on B450), i had to update to a recent late Zen 2/Zen 3-prep BIOS on MSI. guessing it was this bios note on the second to last BIOS before the one i chose

- Update AMD ComboPI1.0.0.4 Patch B (SMU v46.54)
- Improved system boot up time
- Improved PCI-E device compatibility.

even tho i’d been forcing IGP graphics and even the dedicated VRAM size. until then, it was only working on the PCIe 2.0 x4 slot :S

anywho, EXCELLENT GUIDE! now i just need to figure out the quickiest, laziest way to cool this x)

[GigaBusterEXE]

I highly recommend a Push pull set up with a 60mm fan for the push and a 92mm extractor for the pull

that said if you have an assload of other cards in the system the extractor can take up 4-5 slots so not recommended unless they are also “no video output” cards like the teslas are

[Luis_Delgado]

This is a good and cheap solution
On Amazon or Newegg

[GigaBusterEXE]

These cards don’t have traditional heatsinks on them, they are more like blower heatsinks without the blower
The above will not cool a k40 or m40 who’s heatsink is seal at the top like this

The adapter might work on the k80 or the firmi tesla’s because they have heatsinks like this

[Luis_Delgado]

yes, it is not possible from the top only from the back or the front

Hi there I have just tried to run the Valley benchmark in DX11, but I only get like 5-10 FPS, but when i use DX9 I get 35-50 FPS. Does anyone have an idea how to get games like Rockatleague or other DX11 / DX12 games to run fine?

On DX9 it runs at : Graphics 1100Mhz and Memory 3125Mhz
But on DX11 it only runs at : Graphics 324Mhz and Memory 324Mhz

[HaaStyleCat]

Hey thats the one i melted

[GigaBusterEXE]

Can you list your specs, and what your Nvidia control panel says

Are you running standard windows 10 or the insider dev version
