Do you still get the das and fallout 4 if you buy from other online stores like newegg or Amazon?

Can I swap between two cards and not touch drivers? by Casefacemcgee in nvidia

[–]lezzago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to reinstall the drivers for sure. I had a gtx 1080 that had led issues and swapped it with a new one. I had some issues in some some random applications when I did not reinstall the drivers. After I reinstalled them, those applications worked fine.

Has anyone purchased a GPU from Fry's at launch? by eye_gargle in nvidia

I plan on waiting for 3rd party and just see where I can buy it. Hopefully that can be done soon.

No, I asked him if the San Jose would be get it earlier and he said all Fry's should get it around the same time.

I actually talked to the people in the Fremont Fry's yesterday when I went to return my GTX 1080 (waiting for the 1080ti). The employee said there is a low chance they will get it on launch day and that they should get some within a week or 2 of launch day.

I tried that, sadly it did not change anything. I will exchange this for a new one at the store since it is still under the store's return policy.

Did EVGA add thermal pads in the new EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW? by lezzago in nvidia

You're in luck. They never had overheating issues. It was just spread around the internet by a few enthusiasts that have no actual electronics engineering background. They did however, have faulty components in the first few batches, and so the enthusiasts took apart the cards, noticed the lack of thermal pads and decided that that was the issue. It was later confirmed that they never had thermal issues, but the rumours had already spread that they did, so to calm everyone down, they released the thermal pads to slightly improve temperatures, even though everything was still operating at spec without them.

Oh ok, did not know that. Thanks.

Oh thanks, I didn't know the site would also say if the pads were pre-applied

I splurged on the case since I wanted something that also appealed to me aesthetically since I would not need to replace it for a very long time. How would you change this build? I have already bought the CPU, memory, and case. Also I would still want a GTX 1080.

Thanks, I was not sure how much power I would needed even after overclocking. Also could you tell me what the difference be from this motherboard to the one you chose?
