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

We need a definition of ''tweaking hardware''. You honestly have no clue what you are talking about.
The 50% on the box means by voltage tweaking you're able to achieve 50% better performance VIA an overclock. Without voltage tweak, it's probably like 30% better via overclocking.
 
I didn't know raising voltages makes things fatser, I thought you had to increase clocks, we learn somethin new everyday :D

Everything is stupid if you don't reread what i previously wrote. They are not overvoltaging, they are teaking the hardware manually by hand.

Ah I see way the way it sounded they just ramped the voltage and said "hooray!!!!"

yeah people volt mod their cards for higher clocks just changing voltage or "tweaking" it won't improve preformance until you Overclock it xD
 
I still hope that these cards will make some serious competition, but I have to agree with everybody here: Raising voltages does absolutely nothing unless you raise clocks! I agree with 87dtna: That picture on the box is just saying its overclocking potential. What was that card the OP listed? The ASUS GTX285 that has a 330% overclocking margin?

I don't think it means 50% better just from increasing voltage. Thats kinda impossible anyway.

Yeah, increasing voltage will not increase performance of the cards whatsoever. And no amount of voltage on stock cooling will net you a 50% overclock either. Performance per clock is prett much linear, so unless you net a 50% overclock, you arent going to net 50% performance increase.

Also, i took a look at your website. Your "hard drive" score i can guarantee is fake unless you are running a solid state drive, as windows will not give you above 5.9 on mechanical medium, solid state disks are required for anything above 5.9. Its not hard at all to fake scores just be editing a file in windows. And 1066mhz is not overclocked for PC8500 memory, the stock clock for PC8500 memory is 1066mhz.

I did voltage tests with my GTX 260 and had some weird results. Cranking up the volts helped while Folding, sometimes I saw jumps from 7,500 PPD up over 9,000 PPD just by adding a small ammount of voltage.

As for gaming, just adding voltage did nothing for game performance and frame rates. All it did was make the card unstable and actually decreased performance. Adding voltage and overclocking of course added a few extra frames per socond but nothing to write home about...I might not even over volt or overclock a card again.

I am just sick of waiting...these new Nvidia cards better blow ATI out of the water, the world has been waiting long enough.

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..

You have no mention of an SSD in your current pc-specs on your website just a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1500 GB =]
 
well you could take out the how much you oced your gtx275s take out the "[4 cores]" everyone should know that's a quad core unless they are new. "(8 fans)" and you should have room :)
 
Haha, you are so full of shit. It takes 3 SSD's in RAID 0 to get a 7.8...guess how I know. One SSD gives a 7.1. Two SSD's gives about a 7.5, and 3 SSD's in raid 0 gives a 7.8.

I used to have three 30gb SSD's in raid 0 ;) 607mb/s read and 445 mb/s write speed. Thats what it takes to get a 7.8 buddy.

There, updated.. MY SSD was priced around 1000 dollars when i bought it so.. The score is real and justified..

Thats normal....guessing your CPU score was the 4.6? Or the graphics, kinda a take your pick there :eek:

ahh xd CPU 4.7 just OCed my 8500gt and re ran Gaming Graphics 5.8 (from 4.6) xD once i gets me some money though i'm getting a nice lil tri/quad core and a mother board in which i can overclock it xD

I don't care if you paid a million bucks for it, it won't get you a 7.8 score with a single disk. FULL OF SHIT

What if you're wrong? i can see you have a huge ego, but clearly you lack knowledge of many different aspects. There are more than one mainstream line that can change a score drastically. Microsoft has tuned their score system based on already added scores...

I went from 7.6 with one GTX 275 to 7.8 when i added another. Does that even make sense to only increase 0.2 when my fps was 2x more in certain games?.. No, it does not..

My CPU score didn't even change (or close to 0.1) when i increased my Ghz from 3.8 to 4.22. That's illogical.. And there you go. The scores proves very little, and are very inaccurate at times..

Also, who cares? SSD and HDD has close to nothing performance-whise to say in gaming. And i only care about anything related to gaming and decompressing etc... If the scores was to be correct, they would have to find the balanced score instead of choosing the lowest one..
 
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

I also doubt you have that kind of overclock on a 780i board. Nvidia chipsets are horrible at overclocking quads. And to run 4.22ghz, you'd have a 469 FSB. Why would you run 469? Doesn't make any sense to me. Now see if you had 4.25ghz, that would have been believable because 500x8.5= 4.25ghz. But actually, still not really believeable because it's on a crap 780i.

And BTW, I've owned a 680i, 780i, and 790i ultra....all CRAP at overclocking power hungry quads compared to P45/X48 boards.
