Asus GTX 470/480 to increase performance by 50% via Voltage Tweaking!

[Ryeong]

I'm not wrong, hence your backpedaling tone because you know you've been owned by experienced individuals.....and I love how you are now saying how WEI means nothing when you already have your scores plastered up on your site acting like they are awesome.

I'm somehow doubting you even own this SSD anyway, why the hell would you have a 7200.11 in your sig when you could be showing off a ''$1000'' SSD in your system? BS

If you was in my situation you would know how patetic this was in the first place. I went to My computer - properties - run analysis, and that's the result i got..

SSD with 256MB to show off? Lmao, SSD's are so unimportant in my opinion. Thus, i boot up faster etc.. not worth it in my opinion.. I would rather invest in another 1.5 TB HDD instead. But, it's too late now..

It's all about preferences 87dtna.. Preferences.. Keep that in mind. You're stating something without any source of evidence. I have my source right in front of me at this very moment. This can go on forever, heh.. Not worth discussing, unless you want to wase both my and your own time.

I dont have a regular 780i.. Jesus fking!!.. I have 780i FTW-edition.. Becouse it can handle the clocks..

i thought it was 256 gb? trippin up?

and if you actually had an ssd you would realise how important they are, but obviously you dont. an you say its "too late to get a 1.5tb" why not sell your "$1000 ssd"?

and there is TONS of evidence that ssd's are better than normal hard drives

Umm, thats not even close to how you get to the WEI....it's in the control panel.

LOL, OK then.

Yes and I've had a 790i Ultra which a gaurantee is better than a FTW edition, still crap.

Exactly. This guy is such a douche poser

Why attack me personally when i make Typo's lmao.. Dude, i live in Norway. Do you have any idea how little i will regain when selling that one? i'll tell you.. If im lucky i "might" get 80-120 dollars..

My main focus lies in Gaming, and i really couldn't notice anything as i've only used my SSD for the OS and not games. Tried a game once, the loading time wsa reduced by a little. But that's it.. just a part of my preference. Nothing else. I'm not saying it's not worth it in general, but just not for me.. Alright?

LOL, OK then.

That's like saying HD 5970 sucks ass.. No particular reason for that statement. You're being lazy..

Actually the 790i FTW was far better than the ultra, the ultra was a straight reference design while the FTW had 8phase pwm and vdroop compensation, while the FTW digital had digital PWM and vdroop compensation. Plus ive gotten some pretty good clocks out of my ultra board, and will get more as soon as i get around to vdroop modding the thing. However, i have NEVER seen more than 650fsb on an nvidia based board, no matter what model it was.


Geeze, a simple suggestion i make to the OP that if they have an ssd they might wanna list it on their site, turns into a flame war between 4 different members. Cool it down or action is gonna be taken.

What the **** are you talking about? i just press "run analysis" and that's the result i got. I have a SSD for OS That's why i got the high result. I haven't overclocked nor left my Memory ratings on stock. What i did was too choose Sync-mode for the memory rather than 1:1 etc.. The Memory Mhz changes based on CPU load...

You might need some more in-depth information before making such accusations, becouse it is very agitating..

So your memory changes speed with cpu load? Fascinating...with 10 years of experience on computers ive never seen such a feature. FSB speed stays the same on all boards, the multiplier is what changes with speedstep, which has nothing to do whatsoever with memory.

i'll give ya $150 plus shipping. then you can go buy any hdd u want

Yea, well this went off-topic xD .. I'm done discussing anything non-realated to the thread from here on.

I'll check with some friends. If i won't get any better offers then we "might" have a deal.. I just need to rethink about this for a while first ^^

how did that relate to what he was saying nothing's beating the 5970 atm

That's true.. For now

Back on topic:

I Doubt asus will be allowed for such an performance increase before many months after 480 has been released due to marketing laws. Unless they price it ridicously high, which is something noone of us want.

Also, those are mere pictures. I've started to rethink about this.. i take it with a piece of grain and say that i'm in doubt until i hear official news.

It's NOT due to marketing laws, it's due to the fact that the tdp of these chips is already through the roof, any further voltage increase/overclocking is going to cause them to get hotter

Well, that's true. What about an Liquid-cooler setup? or water-cooling?.....hydrogen cooling lol..

Anyways, im off for today.. It's already 00:51 here so.. ^^

Have a nice day/night.. : )

Liquid and water cooling mean the same thing, and water cooling isnt something you can just throw on a card, you need a pump, res, rad, etc. Liquid nitrogen is only used for benching, hydrogen is really a waste for extreme overclocking.

You got it all wrong from the start man....it's a 780i ftw not a 790i.

wow, you know less about computers than I even thought. And if you really owned a 256gb SSD, you'd know it was worth a hell of a lot more than $120.

 

[Twist86]

Best thread EVER!!!!! I love when a geek war breaks out....what I don't like is I understood all of that and saw the humor ~_~.

*despair*

No, the point i am making is the FTW boards are far better than the standard reference boards, and actually the 780i FTW was capable of clocking better than the 790i ultra in some cases.

Yeah OK my bad I thought the 790i ultra also had the 8 phase....whats the difference between the ultra and the standard 790i then?


Although I didn't have a FTW, the 790i whipped the 780i mostly because of the DDR3 memory bandwidth compared to DDR3. All my benches were WAY better on the 790i with DDR3 2000 memory compared to 1066 ddr2. CPU overclocking was about the same, the 790i had a huge FSB hole from 350 to 400 FSB.

After reading post 1/13 and 16 I laughed so hard my right eye went blood shot. Especially the part about Asus opening the GPU to make changes. Thats as far as I got before losing interest. Sounds like old times with another member which really burned me out.

oh gosh, better lock my doors, lol. he was banned before i even joined, but i remember scanning some old threads a couple months ago and saw you pwning him
