Eunning parts at lower frequency will make them run cooler and has no adverse effect beyond performance. Keeping dust out of the HSF and cooler air in the case are the other things you can do to maximize life. All that said, video cards like the 4870X2 run pretty hot, and have the disadvantage...

If you don't get love here for EVGA, you will when you re-sell for both transferable warranty and reputation. I just sold two 3GB GTX580s, one EVGA, one Zotac. The EVGA sold for much more money, had a lot more offers.

On the games CF works with there aren't many where the 7970CF isn't in the ballpark for performance. The problems for 7970CF are: 1. CF itself isn't as good 2. CF has more microstutter, as shown on German websites 3. AMD doesn't have the feature set, or even close to it 4. The value on...

While it's true that 7970CF wins some benchmarks, about every review on the planet says the 680>7970, 680SLi >7970CF, and 690>7970CF. Look what else Anandtech said about 7970CF: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5805/nvidia-geforce-gtx-690-review-ultra-expensive-ultra-rare-ultra-fast/19...

Astute analysis. It was the quietest dual GPU card ever made, introduced single card 3d Surround to the NVIDIA line, and is still tied for the fastest single slot card on the planet. Yeah whole lot of fail going on there. Maybe if you post "it sucked" a few more times someone will believe you?

You alleged NVIDIA had quality control issues in recent years, then dredged up the three year old settlement they arrived at in regard to some case/fan designs where the chips failed over time due to heat issues. NVIDIA didn't "hide", they joined the manufacturers of those laptops in...

Yeah, I can tell you're a big NVIDIA fan quoting Charlie D articles from 2009 in April 2012.... You could quote his newer articles at least: http://semiaccurate.com/2011/11/21/exclusive-apple-swaps-gpu-suppliers-again/ Apple booted AMD late last year and replaced them with NVIDIA...

So much misinformation in this thread. Unlike all of the "knowledgeable" posters, I'm actually using a GTX590 in my i5 2500K/25X16 secondary rig. It did a long stint in my 990X/57 X 10 rig before that. I never had an issue with heat. I never had an issue with a game. The benches I...

It will do it, but you will be far better off with 2 cards for gaming at 57X10. Even a 7970 struggles at that resolution as a single card. Two 6950s should be fine.

I don't know if this is still the deal, but Crossfire started out letting a user combine any two ATi cards of the same generation. (like a 6870 and a 6970) I've never seen how this could be a good thing as one would think the slower card might actually hold back the faster as CF is alternate...

I used to think that way till I bought two more Samsung 2233RZs to go with the one NVIDIA gave me. I liked that so much I bought three Acer GD235HZs. It should be noted that I had a Dell 3007WFP-HC before either of these sets, and that has largely gathered dust since. I think Toms...

Eyefinity, and Nvidia's Surround, are ways to play games spanned across 3 (or more) monitors. For example, I'm gaming at 60X10 spanned across three 1080p monitors. This is a custom resolution that adds a little to three 19X10 monitors for the parts of the screen that would be occluded by...

I've had about every brand of NVIDIA card except Palit, that is changing soon though. Ordered to of these to try out on my 5756 X 1080 surround rig. I already voted for 2GB 560s before I saw this poll. ;)

The Hydrogens are such a good deal I even considered buying two, and I have two 480s. Very cool cards at fire sale prices.

83C is nothing to worry about. The GPU is rated for 105C.
