I really don't know what's going on, but are people coming from really trashy cards ? Oo.

I had 2x Palit 970s "reference" in SLI, then I sold them for 2x 980s in SLI reference as well.

My 4790k at 4.9Ghz couldnt utilize that mich GPU power and was the limiting factor. So I went for a 290x with 8GB by XFX.

Card was too loud an the Omega drivers are bad due to a 144hz memory bug on idle. So I replaced that card with a new 970 SSC 3975.

THW card has coil whine, when the Blades are spinning up at 60 DEG. The card is making a humming sound. And either you get 72 deg almost silent or loud 62 DEG. Thats nothing special at all. Max OC is a stable 1522mhz with 69% asic qual. Dont know why everyone is so mega hyped.

There is hype because the owners of the regular 970 FTW were having issues with their cards. The FTW+ is an update of the late FTW and EVGA is gracious enough to their customers to allow them to trade in their older FTW to the FTW+ for the difference in cost, $10, and shipping and handeling. Most times you can't update to a GPU in the same family, but the new SSC and FTW+ were special cases as they were updates that fixed problems in the older cards.
 
This is the only GPU company that does this kind of thing.

Seriously!

I just order my FTW+
When is the FTW++ coming out so that I can step into that one?

still not available for step-up in the EU, but glad they put the trigger.

That's awesome... Kudos to EVGA.

Glad people were able to step up to the revision and have a real FTW card. I returned my SSC's unfortunately... gave them a good 16 hours of solid gameplay over a weeks time to decide they were just not what I was expecting out of $700 in video cards. The FPS meter was showing almost a solid 90FPS on precision, but my game was not smooth. Hope others have better luck... I'm waiting till the end of the month to decide what i'll be doing.

What resolution do you play at RainStryke?

What resolution do you play at RainStryke?

Currently, 1080p @ 75Hz

You looking to upgrade then? Dang, you would figure SLI 970's would get higher than 90 at 1080p owo Do you think it was issues with the cards themselves or the games you play having issues with SLI?
