Does it matter whether I change monitor before or after installing Graphics card.


It does not.

And do I take all the options offered through Nvidia- - 3D, Physics, Ge-Force Experience- etc.. Presume can tidy up the installed Nvidia programs later if necessary.


Normally I install only the driver, the control panel and physx, but it depends on your personal needs.

Thanks. May get it done tomorrow.

Can't wait to get back into Witcher3 -Hearts of Stone. -Just glanced at it quickly and since I was last in Witcher a month or so ago the Control options seem to have been broadened re graphics and Hud etc but I may just have not noticed before. Going down for supper now. Appreciate your help. Thankyou. Off for a break and a Johnnie Walker.

Just discovered my PSU is incompatible with the 980ti and I have to get a new PSU. Thought I checked the compatibility but there was a subsequent version of my PSU that was compatible and I must have hit that one by mistake when checking. Ah well. Patience is a virtue- delivery in early May - the new unit (EVGA Supernova GT 650 Gold Modular) is in demand apparently.

I don't have two 8-pin plugs. The version that followed mine does but I have the original edition , which unfortunately only had one 8 pin.

I believe there are 2x 6 pin to 8 pin adapters witch you can use, assuming you psu supports 8 pin + 2x 6pin. Also I would recommend a minimum of 500W. If your current psu is a lesser known/low quality model, then I would replace it anyway.

Thankyou. Noted, and replacement is my best option. Will check back once I get it all set up.
