As the subject said, I recently upgrading my 5 year old rig, and made the jump to the new GTX 980. Love it so far. I was just curious if anyone else is using this, and if so, what are you getting out of it in WOFF? Right now I have it on its default (since I've only had it two days), but if anyone knows how to maximize its performance please share!

To see what other are getting it is also important to get a grip on what resolutiun they are using. Big difference when using this GTX980 on a 1080x720 or at 4k.

Ah yes, resolution as well. Thanks Dutch.

Congrats on the new gear, Ace!

You should always use the monitor's full resolution for best results.
Any new graphic cards should not have performance issues with WOFF.
The performance bottleneck is mostly rather CPU speed, as CFS3 can only use a single core.
So even if you have a quad-core CPU, only a fast speed of it can improve performance.
3,2 GHz is the lower end of what you should have IMHO.

I can max out my WOFF 2 graphics (using my GTX 980 PC) on a 2560x1440 monitor, but you never said what resolution you monitor is ???

Congratulations CaNy_Ace88! Every review I ever read says that it's a fantastic card and it really shows it's muscles off with high resolution 4K gaming. I am sure you will be very happy with it for many years.

I almost bought one to replace my 780 ti, however I have decided to wait for the new Pascal GPUs due out in the second half of this year. I suspect they will be ridiculously expensive, however they look to be a quantum leap in GPU power. I will wait for the reviews and hope they are as good as expected.

My current resolution is 1920x1080

He's got that covered. He's running the fastest single thread processor on the market right now:

Ace, you can also overclock your CPU if you want. What kind of heat sinks are you guys using when you overclock these super fast CPU's. I've got the same CPU but haven't looked into what it takes to overclock it yet (heat management wise).

Ohhh, I'm getting jealous - my "ancient" i7-2600K is only at 4.1 GHz on a modest overclok, and he's 4.0 right out of the box!

Congrats on the new gear!

I want one!

Well, in autumn I guess I will be able to update my rig to that point - Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Keep your $$ in the pocket and optimize your rig.

I too am quite happy with the 6700K - tis a bit slower on CPU single threaded but it's nothing to sneeze at.


Coupled with the 980ti and a Gsync monitor - the smoothness really helps.

My new specs are listed below - My first PC build only for gaming.
Thinking this was my "mid"-life crisis....

I have WOFF settings maxed and am achieving 70-100+fps.
What a difference from the 20-40fps I was getting on my old notebook.

The next thing I want is a good gsync monitor

I'm hovering around 60 fps consistently without messing with my 980, but I have everything maxed in WOFF. I would definitely like to see how close to you I can get with the 980. I'm rather unfamiliar to when it comes to overclocking, so I need to find out how to do it without doing much damage.

One of my game PC's has a i7 6700K, GTX 980 using a 1920x1080 G-sync monitor and it tops out at about 100 FPS with WOFF maxed and WOFF's 8xAA and nVidia's 8xAF.

As a result, you should have no problems, depending on the G-sync monitor with resolutions up to 2560x1440.

So, being the technologically uneducated guy, how much of a difference am I see without a gsync monitor and with? I do not have a gsync monitor, as I previously stated.
