No the highest I have seen is 79.x% but still that is a very large jump from my card at 64.2%

And that card scored a couple hundred points higher than mine due to much higher clock speeds.

 

Pretty much. As a rule of thumb, you can water cool anything over ~60% and air cool anything over ~70%. If an air-cooled GPU has a quality rating under 70% then it should be RMA'd.

 

I don't think manufacturers will RMA a GPU because of asic levels...

 

Not as such, no, but if the GPU runs abnormally hot under normal conditions then it should qualify for warranty replacement. That's assuming you haven't overclocked it because overclocking voids the warranty.

 

Indeed they are. This is also the time where I routinely kick myself for not choosing a faster shipping option. I always do this and never learn. Thankfully, I have some other toys arriving tomorrow to keep me busy until Tuesday when my laptop gets here. I am blocking off my work calendar that entire day (I work from home) so that nobody tries to get me into a meeting when all my attention will be on my new baby. Heh.

 

For anyone who's wondering, I have (almost) successfully installed Ubuntu 15.04 and nvidia drivers on P770zm. Correctly installing nvidia driver is a big pain, but it is doable. I still have to setup Killer wifi somehow though.

 

Please don´t open that box right next to your new precious


Dying Light on preset Best Quality runs fluidely. My HM with 7970M and 2960XM was sluggish on Medium:



Max temps CPU 75 C, GPU 65 C.
Min fps 40 (3 drops under 50), avg fps 69.
Recorded with ShadowPlay.
CPU-80/-100 mV, stock clocks. GPU stock.
Elevated on cooler, max fans.

 

So tomorrow's agenda: lap the new heatsink, verify contact and adjust if needed, relap cpu, apply fujipoly pads, compare temps to Kyle's, oc and benchmark.

 

Just in time for me to get my new card and run a new set of benchmarks

 

I'll be 970m standard, you'll have a 980m standard.
