PNY GTX980 Ti XLR8 OC

Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far. (Wikipedia).

We test at 3840×2160 (4K) with the ‘ULTIMATE’ image profile selected. We normally reduce the image quality profile to ‘ULTRA’ at this resolution, but we decided to keep it at the highest image quality possible.

Excellent performance results at 4K, much as we would expect from an overclocked custom GTX980 Ti – the card slots in behind the MSI and ASUS solutions.

  2. At those temps, you can start making coffee with your GPU. I guess that could be considered a plus for some.

  3. Here is tips Easy with kitgur’u ********* Here’s Tips

  4. You can make coffee with cold water too but I myself want coffee water boiled like every coffee maker does, and in case you didn’t know, you need 100C for that in normal conditions. Also if you start pumping coffee water on that, it would cool the pcb and your coffee making procedure would act as a water cooling system.

  5. You’re wrong on both coffee points. You can make great cold drip coffee, you just have to use different methods and have a bit of patiences – takes about 8 hours to make a litre of cold drip – and you should not use 100C water unless you want to burn your coffee and ruin all flavors. About 92C is the ideal water temperature for making coffee.

    Ask any decent barista or coffee enthousiast and they will tell you the same.

  6. Actually not. Coffee makers do boil the water and then cool it down, because of the mechanics in first point, so you don’t need a pump to get water moving and also because you want to kill bacteria from the water. Ask any coffee maker company and they’ll tell you the same. I didn’t know about 8h coffee things so sorry about that, but could you not make that coffee with any gtx980ti?

  7. Ah, but then you deal with home devices (and I actually do that too, just use the kettle to boil to 100C and then cool down). If I go for a filter coffee, my barista has a water heater that never boils the water, but keeps it at an almost constant temperature just below 100C. And he lent me a kettle once that did the exact same thing. Not sure about his espresso machine though.

    And I guess any powerful video card when run at a high enough load can be used to boil water and make coffee. I feel like this would make an interesting casemodding project 🙂
