XFX 480 GTR Black edition to Asus Strix ROG 1080.

Going to miss freesync on my 144hz gaming monitor...maybe? Never really noticed it.

Went from the XFX 480 GTR Black edition to the Asus Strix ROG 1080. I can't believe it, but it fits perfectly in my Micro atx corsair case. I knew it would be bigger than the 480, but the bitch feels like it weighs twice as much.

Holy fuck.

I built this PC back in April for my birthday. I decided I wanted it to last me for 4 years without upgrading, and then for some reason let the foot off the gas when buying the gpu.

Paired with my R5 1600 it runs Witcher on ultra locked in at 60fps. OW locked at 144 (maxed for my monitor) on epic settings.

Bby I'm in love.

3 questions:

  1. Why won't it work with my display port?

  2. How did asus manage to make such a silent card?

  3. Who wants to buy my 480 :p

Desk has been cleaned to immaculate proportions. Sorry for the dirt.

It's the 8gb, so $230? Can't ship until next week though, going out of town for an interview

Shipped. Looks like they go anywhere from $225+shipping to $300 (which is a bit much)

  1. Why won't it work with my display port?

Try a different port on the card. Make sure the DP cable on the GPU is seated securely.

  1. How did asus manage to make such a silent card?

Fan stop. The fans won't kick on until the temps reach a certain value. You can change the fan curves with software like MSI Afterburner (or whatever Asus's version is).

  1. Who wants to buy my 480 :p

r/hardwareswap will give you a good idea on how much it's worth.

Enjoy the upgrade OP!

Thanks for the reply!

So I've tried all the DP on my card and nothing works. At first I thought it was because my monitor was freesync or something then I realized I was dumb and that shouldn't matter.

And even under full load it's nearly silent. My 480 wasn't extremely loud or anything, but you could definitely hear it under full load. And it's cool as hell. 1 hour of full load and it was at 63C. Crazy.

I'll check HWS out man, thanks. Checked ebay first and those prices are a bit crazy. Probably due to miners still.

Ah okay, shipping for the 480 would probably be insane, so nevermind
