Geforce GTX 680

[CSX2057]

YO Brothers! lol

My bro gave me his GTX 680 video card with a water cooler. That sucker is like $300 and he gave it to me to run train simulators with a better FPS. I tested the TS2015 after I rebooted my pc cause he was gave me his SSD Hard drive as well to load windows 8 quicker.

I went on TS2015 last night to portland terminal because I had low Framerates with my GTX 550ti and gave me 15fps to 20fps. Now with a GTX 680 I went 35-60fps. This video card can over clock but idk for sure how much FPS will be when I overclock this video card. So I will test that out sometime next week. When I do I will be live streaming TS2015 :). This is gonna be a blast!!!!

Way to go, Daniel!

Gonna pick up the 680 ( or higher if available ) next summer when Oculus Rift CV version hits mainstream markets. The 680 is a monster card !

haha Thanks. Dovetails games must support the oculus rift otherwise it won't work. I read about that. I just realized my video card has 256bit and 2 gb. I thought was 1gb. Guess I was wrong.

[imnew]

Yup. Lets hope DTG comes through with a way to hook up the Oculus.

My GTX 760 was $300.

That card with water cooling was more like $800 to $1k when it was new. My EVGA GTX670 2Gb was $400 new. Still have it, too.

256 bit is the memory buss width; the higher the number the better the frame rates. Could bottleneck an older CPU tho. 2Gb of VRAM is pretty much the standard now days.

Overclocking won't have a real big effect on frame rates in games, but it will get the card hot. It will also shorten the card's life.

And how nice a video card you have doesn't really have any effect on video streaming. That has more to do with your Internet connection and speed. But that is a really nice card, ya did well, young 'un.

If you are getting at least 30fps in TS2015 at the stock clock rate, I wouldn't bother overclocking. I'd wait until the UE4 sim is released before kicking in the OC.

Heck yea dude!!! At least they can still watch it nicely. The only thing i'm doing on my speed is 1,100kbps. Its a little low quality but I still get good young teens watching. But with this new video card I can finally go for the highest graphics settings yes I will have oc and this evga will help me a lot. That should bring more audience :)
