    Used the "AUSAVE05" coupon code to purchase a gigabyte 980 ti instead (about $930 before cash rewards). I imagine there is a foreign currency fee from cc company as well, but still it's significantly under the australian stock prices.

    I hate the ACX2.0+ cooling solution. I returned 4 970 cards, all of which would stop displaying output to monitors, within 2-3 minutes of entering any game. The warranty is great, but a pain having wait for card to be RMA'd.

    The only way I could stabilize the setup was to down clock the GPU by 150MHz. The cooling solution does not seem sufficient.

    In the end I ended up selling the card at a loss and buying the Gigabyte G1 model, which not only auto-overclocks to 1550+ MHz on the core, it barely goes above 60c, after many hours of gaming.

    No system cooling issues, as it's built in to a Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra tower.

    The 980Ti card may perform better, but I suggest you read though the EVGA forums, and make up your own minds.

    http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-900TITAN-X-Series-f99.as… (will need to create an account)

    With regards to warranty, if you do end up needing it, you will have to ship it to Taiwan, at your expense as the Australian distributors are not tasked , with providing warranty for overseas purchased products.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/07/2015 - 13:32

      I just RMA'd a faulty 980 FTW (it actually started smoking) but as it was within 30 days of purchase its classed as DOA and EVGA pay 2 way postage

      But I too recommend checking the EVGA forums, as I wish I had done beforehand

        Go for a Nvidia GTX 970. It should be able to handle everything at 1920 resolution.

        • justtoreply on 23/07/2015 - 10:46

          Heh. Except I'm running 3x 1920*1080. Which is 75% of 4k.

          My card has survived well. But I don't game with AA, and I'm yet to play some of the blockbusters.

          Need a decent upgrade. CPU/Mobo/Gfx. I've got the rest. Needs to last a while because come next upgrade (which for me is about every 6 years anyway), I won't be able to afford non-family related expenses. I really like the sabertooth mark S mobo, but just based on looks to fit into the theme of my case. Shame it happens to be unwarrentedly expensive and have a 40mm fan on it.

      I hate the ACX2.0+ cooling solution. I returned 4 970 cards, all of which would stop displaying output to monitors, within 2-3 minutes of entering any game.

      I don't get it… what does the cooling have to do with the cards not displaying to monitors?

      • xuqi on 22/07/2015 - 17:18

        Loading in to Windows and doing web surfing, watching movies, etc. the card ran 100% fine. They fan always stayed off, with the GPU core temp. of ~45c. I could do that fine for hours without any issues.

        As soon as you started playing games, or running any 3D benchmarking program, the GPU core temp increased (as expected) to ~75c. All good and fine. within 2-3 minutes of this all 4 cards (original + 3 RMA's) stopped displaying output to the monitor.

        You could still hear the game audio fine. The system worked OK, so you could Alt+F4 out of the game/application and shut PC down ok (without any display output).

        The only way for me to get the card to actually run 3D games/apps without this issue, was to modify the BIOS and down clock the max GPU core speed to 1150 (from the 1328+ MHz. Then I could run 3D games for hours without crashing. Something is not right with the design of the cooling system imo.

        If you read the EVGA forums, countless others were also having the same issue going back to late 2014.

        The same system with the Gigabyte Gaming G1 card, and no issues at all first time around. Nothing to do with PSU issues either, as I tested system with 3 80+ platinum PSU's (Seasonic 660W, 860W, and 1000W)

        • ProjectZero on 22/07/2015 - 17:43

          I think the cooling solution you're complaining about is the ACX, that was because EVGA got lazy and reused the ACX coolers meant for another card (I think it was meant for the 980) which had temp issues which caused it to have temp issues.

          Many people complained, and then they released the ACX 2.0+ which had the heatsink altered.

          Picture of ACX heatsink

          Picture of ACX 2.0+ heatsink

          The original ACX had design flaws and so temps were pretty bad, i always thought the card would throttle instead of cutting display though…

        • xuqi on 22/07/2015 - 18:20

          @ProjectZero:

          No, I mean the ACX 2.0+, where the fans stay off/silent when core temp's are below 55c-60c.

          ACX fans operate all the time, regardless of the load. All my cards were the newer ACX 2.0+ cards.

          Edit: Just looked up the model number of the cards I registered on their site:

          04G-P4-3974-KR

          http://www.overclock.net/t/1528991/gtx-970-sc-acx-2-0-displa…

          One seems to point at vRAM overheating and the other is pointing at a dodgy BIOS… not too sure which is correct at this point… also, not sure if this is the normal ACX 2.0 or the ACX 2.0+… Regardless, I suppose if there isn't a definitive answer, don't risk it?

          I personally run GTX 780 SC ACX in SLi and have had them in air cooler configs before… never had any issues but thats a different card

        • xuqi on 23/07/2015 - 11:46

          @ProjectZero:

          During the ~2 months period of RMA's, I ran the system with my old 4GB EVGA 680+ card (or Asus 280x), without issues.

          Also as mentioned, the first Gigabyte Gaming G1 card I installed after giving up on EVGA has worked fine since.

          At least my card was purchased locally, so I only paid postage to send back to the OZ retailer, albeit 3 times.

          The EVGA warranty seems great, as each time I was sent back a brand new boxed unit. I really hope they've fixed the issue with the newer cards, but I won't be trying EVGA anytime soon.

          More a cautionary tale for those purchasing from overseas.

        Ironically its the people who buy expensive cards that are the ones that upgrade the most often (or feel the need to), a vast majority of people running 'mid-range' $100-200 cards will actually keep theirs for longer. I did remember reading this in a PC mag (back when they were actually in paper form) and from my experience of friends with far too much money and time, this is true.

According to the Tao of 4chan, Rule 34 says there ought to be porn of it, but so far no (the mind boggles as to what CUDA-porn would look like: redtube, but 800x faster? ewwww).

      I suppose the Titan X might be good for games too, but no game has the same kick as processing aerials-plus-cadastre for every house-block in Victoria (~3.455m of them suckers) in less than an hour.

      They perform even better as well, higher boost clocks and most will see 1500 OC's on the GPU on air.
      Nice find!

        No international warranty on the GB though, and apparently there is a likelihood you will have coil whine?

        • JF on 22/07/2015 - 18:09

          I think it's a gamble, even with the EVGA, which I opted for as I have read less reports of coil whine with that card. Plus EVGA are pretty good with RMA should I get a dud.

          In saying that, my 970 G1 is hissing at me now, so I'm throwing it in another system that I'll use mainly with headphones once the new card arrives.

      looks like it just disappeared?

  • Wally Simmonds on 22/07/2015 - 18:14

    So what's the warranty deal with non EVGA cards? I can see there's a RMA process up to 30 days, but after that, are you on your own?

    I've used Amazon before, and had to use the warranty process, and they were pretty good (they didn't have to help me but they did anyway).

    bought 1! thanks!

  • Ebany on 22/07/2015 - 20:15

    Nice deal but I'll buy 2 locally from PCCG or PLE Computing.

    Just an FYI word on internets is that nvidia is going to start bundling MGS5 preorder cdkeys next week with all new geforce cards so you might want to clarify/wait a few days.

  • Wally Simmonds on 23/07/2015 - 08:55

    They've gone up slightly this morning.

    Meh. I think I'll wait till Black Friday sales, 290 can keep me going for a bit longer.

    I think I'll wait for a non EVGA, non gigabyte G1 card.

    Maybe just a reference card?

    Buys insane gpu.

    Ends up just browsing the internet and ozbargain all day.

  • JF on 24/07/2015 - 15:52

    Hey Ozbargainers,

    Quite a few people have contacted Newegg on live chat and been successful asking if they are eligible for the MGS gift seeing as they purchased just before the promotion.

    Worth asking for if you want a free game.

      Just tried and they dont want to give me the free game as they say it's an international order.
