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.

DAMN i loved those days, we need to get that guy back. i mean, NOBODY uses google any more!!! where will we get all our relevant information? :eek:


By the way, to the OP, i'll seriously give you $260 right now for a 256gb ssd. i doubt you have it, but if you do, take a pic with you and it and a piece of paper with your name and ill send the cash :)

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.

You know absolutely nothing it seems. Do you know how much the value for SSD's have sunk in my country? Do you know how long i've had mine? Whether it consists of any damages or not?.. Look like you're the one whom lack knowledge..

in fact. 100 bucks is very nice for something i've had a long time. It's very well used.. Doubt anyone would every bid more than 150 MAX if i put it out on auction down here in Norway.

You pay 1000 and sell for 100.. that's life down here. New stuff are sickly expensive, used ones are too cheap.. Can't help it.

As i stated earlier, i paid 1000 bucks for it. So i know how much it's worth.. And really, it doesn't matter what i think or not. It's up to people what they are willing to buy it for..

lol i can't catch a break!

to be fair, a 256gb ssd that costs $1000 and would most definitely get a 7.9 does exist... here it is, in all its 750MBps goodness.

It's a mixture of hardware voltage tweaking and overvoltaging. So, overvoltaging might only help 3% but the rest is done by hand. They open the GPU and develop on it. I don't know how they was able to achieve this, nor if it's going to be released in a while either. It's up to the market whether they will be allowed to release this at once or if they have to way a cuple of days.

Keep in mind that there are marketing laws, otherwhise people could release super overclocked cards with the same price. This is unethical for the competitors..

There has been done several attempts with voltage tweaking in the past, but keep in mind that this "fermi" is originally comming from Tesla. And tesla is easy to develop, tweak, overclock etc.. It's a super GPU. So, im not really surpised.

Heck, i expect it to be at least one huge surprise at PAX in 4 days! - This hopefully being one of them.

do you feel smart?

changing your voltage does NOTHING to your speed. only allows you to run higher speeds if its stable

you can never gain 50 percent performance from a voltage tweak. its always done by the increase of the clock, voltage tweak is just to make it stable

Then, the their voltage tweak might allow for an overclock up to 50% then? or? .. Like i said earlier, those are mere pictures. Everyone should take this with a grain of salt and wait until and after PAX.

i just got home from work, tired, didnt feel like reading everything at first. but i did... any my bad

i still highly doubt it will allow a 50 percent overclock, unless its got a constant flow of liquid nitrogen over it

im in the market for a new graphics card soon, and if nvidia doesnt put out something gnarly for around the price of the 5870, im going ati.

Hmm, yea. It looks like, at least on the supposedly real pictures, that it has 4 fat pipes. But, i don't know if those are filled with anything or just heat-leading pipes.

My main focus is gaming.. and i can afford one 5970.. I just don't know if i should. I kinda want the Physix etc. But, i have some questions..

I have 780i-ftw mobo. If i bought a 5970 could i use it? (i know i cant crossfire).. Also, can i combine a 5970 with gtx 275 for physx?..

Is the "Hair-Physix" shown in many youtube videos something unique only 470/480 will have or is it just physx with tesselation? If not, could i get the same hair effect if i combined a 5970 with 275?

Will i get any of this with a combo of 5970+275?. :)
