sm0kem Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 You still need to reinstall elfx and project optimization mods with no player homes option
Darth_mathias Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 looking to upgrade my gtx 670 to either a gtx 970 or a 980 but is it really worth the extra £200 for the GTX980
hazelwolf Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Sorry to be a pain but if anyone could help me with the issue in my previous post I'd be very appreciative (The missing water texture on distant ice floes). I'm guessing it's something I've failed to do when installing either the lighting, water, ice or distant terrain mods. Narrowing it down to any of those would help a lot so I can try reinstalling them.
Smile44 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Hi, you have installed something wrong for sure, it is likely from real water 2 or real ice. I would try those first. This is not the right thread for trouble shooting though you need the one at the very top of the page, all issues are handled there. Best of luck,

Might be partially SLI vs Non-SLI but the memory stutter was definitely apparent for me.
hishutup Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 when I had crossfire on my older 6970s there was some weirdness like macro stutter (1~10sec) and some normal micro stutter.I pulled one of the cards out and even though my framerate was lower, the stutter was almost completely gone. Single card is always better than multi (EDIT: For everything but frame rate and performance) but in my case an extra 200 -at the time- wasnt possible.

cstarkey42 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 You might want to save that extra $200 for the 16nm Pascals, which are supposed to be out in 2016. I really wanted to upgrade to a 970 or, better yet, a 980 but I think I'm just going to ride out my 780 until the new models come out. Hopefully the OC doesn't burn it out before then :)
Razorsedge877 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Heck instead of waiting till 2016 you should wait for the new cards in 2017, Heck better yet just wait every year because they are constantly improving GPus
cstarkey42 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The 970s are such an improvement and so cheap that if I was running anything less than a 780 I would upgrade. The 16nms are going to be such a huge leap forward that you are, in fact, better off waiting for them instead of spending the extra cash for a little bit of an improvement, especially a difference of $200. If cash isn't an issue, than buy a Titan. It's not like we're talking going from a 700 to a 900 here, the Pascals are going to absolutely destroy everything that's currently on the market so if you're going to upgrade soon you really should keep that in mind. Of course, it depends on if we're looking at early 2016 or late 2016, but that's just another risk to consider.

darkside Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 SFO is now 2.1. You might already know. I am still using 1.91 though.
