Snaike,

I like that your cat is also a Quality Assurance inspector. I had trouble just house breaking my dog much less getting my dog to help verify my computer build.

Thanks, that information helped a lot. I will definitely try doing it. Hope it dŒsn't give me errors. Is there any anything on which I have to keep a good eye while upgrading my machine?

You didn't mention this features here!
The reference clock for Titan Black is 889 MHz. The clocks need to remain low for the card to be able to deal with the heat these GPUs produce, but it is also done to keep the product in line power consumption wise. For the GeForce GTX Titan Black, monitor outputs include Dual-DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

Nice job, Snaike.

Looks like you doubled your performance.    It's like a whole new system.

That pic of the rear monitor ports should be sent with every DS rig. I am gonna save the pic and post, the confusion of where to hook the monitor fairly common.   

Your kitten is there to make sure your new setup just purrs along.

Actually, it's a EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card.

Ok, my Vanquish 2 got an upgraded GPU. The PNY GTX 770 that was standard 3 years ago was not a bad card, nor was it malfunctioning. It was just time for an upgrade. I think the fact that it's been so good for so long is a testament to how DS builds even the entry level machines for longevity... but I digress.

Here's the 770 in it's natural habitat...





.. and here's the helper I had for day making sure everything is ok...





As you can see, of the two cards, the PNY GTX770 is a little wider and a little thinner. One would think 3 fans vs 2 that you would lose a bit in cooling.. well.. with the fan profile the same, FurMark stress test ran the 1070 18°C cooler for the 5 minute burn-in test. 74° v 56°. Very impressive.





Installation of a new card is so very simple, even a ham-handed neophyte like myself can do it. The proof...





There is one thing that disturbs my OCD... the first PCI-E power cord was not necessary. I really don't want to snip the cable ties so it gets to hang loose with the card. (Actually, I've tucked it into that empty space and it "looks" connected...but in the back of my mind I know it isn't.)





Now here is a picture that bprat will love. I have taken this opportunity to show the caps that come with a new video card. So, in future, should there be any questions about where the monitor should be plugged in, please feel free to use this image...




***********************************

Now for the simple before and after test.

All I can say is: "WOW, HOLY CATS, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING SO INCREDIBLE IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE!!!"... Which I did say, loudly, scaring my litter helper into the next room.

Furmark bench scores PNY GTX770 (Original Equipment Vanquish 2) vs EVGA GTX1070 SC Gaming.

   


So as you can see, there is quite a difference. All games on this machine are now Geforce optimized to ULTRA (excluding RUST, still in early release) and it's just so amazing.

For the record this is the second upgrade to the Vanquish. The first was 16GB RAM from the original 8GB.

Yea, we're happy.    ]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:57:08 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-tidf29320/ Video Cards : EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Overclocked 1300MHz https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/evga-gtx-780ti-classified-overclocked-1300mhz-tidf21726/ Author: PcKiller

Thank you for considering Digital Storm!

For the VANQUISH especially, it most likely will not be an overclocked card.

If you would like a specific card, I highly suggest requesting it in the "Special Notes" area of the build and even following up with a message to our team by sending a message here: https://www.digitalstormonline.com/request-help.asp]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2014 12:00:20 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/evga-gtx-750-ti-and-750-ti-sc-tidf22123/ Video Cards : EVGA GTX 750 Ti and 750 Ti SC https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/evga-gtx-750-ti-and-750-ti-sc-tidf22123/ Author: kataan

Hello Nav I was wondering if you could clarify something for me.  I am hoping to purchase a DS system in the very near future and right now I have it configured with the GTX 750 TI in mind and in reading the article I noticed in the conclusion section you mentioned that "For this reason, we revised our Vanquish line and now feature the GTX 750 Ti on our Level 2 rig."
 
My question is if I were to order a custom PC from DS that includes the GTX 750 TI I would get the EVGA version ?  And if that is yes would it be the 750 TI or the 750 TI SC version ?
 
I had actually asked this quesiton in another post and Alex said it would probably be the EVGA but after seeing this article I thought maybe you might know for sure so I thought I would ask it here.
 
Thanks for your time and Take Care

It's amazing that the 750ti is about the same performance as the gtx 570, from just 2 years ago, but is half the size and just sips power from the pcie slot.

Not a bad option if someone's 570 dies.    ]]> Mon, 24 Feb 2014 03:58:34 +0000 https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/evga-gtx-750-ti-and-750-ti-sc-tidf22123/ Video Cards : EVGA GTX 750 Ti and 750 Ti SC https://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/evga-gtx-750-ti-and-750-ti-sc-tidf22123/ Author: Tidgxor

The NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti is one of NVIDIA's latest video cards that is aimed at the mainstream market and built upon the Maxwell Architecture. Being that is a Maxwell card, the GTX 750 Ti is capable of running without the addition of PCIE power. The EVGA card that we tested features a non-reference cooler and has a copper-core that is unique to EVGA.
