GPU-Z poses no risk to a system at all. Use it as much as you like.

Entered. Long shot, but hey, you never know.

Mine whines a bit under very under light loads only, never heard it during gaming or benchmarking, or during web browsing. It does seem to be going away slowly as I use it. Although I'm not sure if it is a PSU/card whine as I don't have a spare PSU laying around, it would sure drive me crazy if...

This is the problem with bad management. Any dissenters to management's poor ideas are dispatched, leaving only rank and file employees that are "Just doing their job". This was likely an idea that came early on from upper management, forcing the hand of anyone under them to do it their way if...

If it's on AUTO fan control it's just going to adjust the fan profile to barely run the fan until it gets close to 80. If the temp target is 80, that's where the card will run. Alternatively you can set up your own fan profile and keep it well below 80, although it doesn't seem to help at all...

Good choice. That will be similar to performance to 2 570s and give you almost 3x the VRAM, without any SLI/CF issues.

It is one option. A 570 can be had for about $200 and will give you 60-80% more performance from what you currently have now. Worst case? It doesn't work out and you can always sell them at the same price you bought it for. Another option is a 680, but that will be closer to $400 and won't be...

SLI has come a long way in the last few years. While some games may have various issues, most will see great scaling with little to no stutter. Anandtech has one of the better comparison on the expected gains from a variety of games: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/306?vs=307 (2) 570s...

Finally got a chance to plug in the 570. After getting the drivers installed, looks like it draws just under 20 watts at idle. Total system draw: 114-115 Watts with single card 132-133 Watts with 570 set in PhysX mode Granted the Kill-A-Watt meter isn't the most accurate thing in the world, but...

I really haven't seen any throttling at 1150 Core (boost) with auto fan. I am pushing 106 TDP during benching though, so I would imagine if I clocked any higher, I might. One strange thing is with manual fan, I did see throttling down to 1137 and sticking there even though I was no where near...

It depends on the card, a 500 or 600 series card at idle is about 10-20 watts, or about $10-$15 a year if you leave your computer on most of the time. A 400 series maybe a bit more. I have an extra 570 laying around I'll toss in this afternoon when I get home and see what the difference on my...

FedEx just came by and delivered the EVGA SC Titan I ordered from Amazon yesterday. Been stalking http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/titan/ for days, leaving it on all night and finally had the alarm go off at around 1 in the morning and was fast enough to jump on it...before...

Already out of stock, just gotta be quick I guess.

Amazon just got a few SC EVGA Titans in stock this morning: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BL8BX7O (Out of Stock) http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Signature-Dual-Link-06G-P4-2793-KR/dp/B00BL8BX9C (Out of Stock) Grabbed a SC - Shipped for $3.99 Overnight, should have it tomorrow...

Having a dedicated PhysX card is fine and can help by offloading the physics processing from the main video card with the few games that support it, BUT that card has to be one that is up to the task. The 8800 is likely just a bit too slow to keep up with your 670, and would likely hurt frame...
