    does anybody power off? Or just leave it running?

    When overclocking, I always just left mine on. For the Core2's, went through a Q6700, Q9550, QX9650, E8700, E8600, E8500, E8400 and E7400. I found that if I was moderate with my voltage, the overclock stability would last longer, but if I was hard on it and really pushed the power on it, my...

    390X coming soon few weeks

    The limited OEM and the CORE 448, were the two models of the GTX 560Ti with GF110. High-end is what is considered the top contender at the time. The performance crown. You are not using that correctly... It's considered the top tier of performance for it's time in that generation. Not for the...

    390X coming soon few weeks

    That is not fact. More like a stab in the dark. If you go back further than that, GTX 465 used GF100. GTX 560Ti had multiple variations, two of them included GF110. The GTX 680 used GK104 which was their flagship GPU for 11 months. The GTX Titan release was actually the new flagship "High...

    R9 290X help

    Even though you didn't buy the card brand new, i'd still attempt an RMA. The worst that can happen is you are denied, it's totally worth the try even if you have to pay a little bit for shipping. I screwed up a i7 3770K on a delid attempt and Intel let me RMA the processor without proof of...

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    You beg what? You link me a google definition of what a single phase is? How is that even relevant to my comment? Here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-The-Motherboard-Voltage-Regulator-Circuit/616/4

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    Talking about a competitors issue is a typical bait and switch tactic of someone that is dedicated to one company over another. Investing emotions into a company like that is just ridiculous and always just puts you into a bad mood when you see them fail. The only time I ever care about a...

    The design has to be cleared by Nvidia. They are 100% involved in certifying non-reference cards. You took what I said out of context, I never said anything about limitation of design changes.

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    That is not true one bit, they have to have authorization from Nvidia before changing anything on the design of the card, including just changing the aftermarket cooler. An OEM can't simply buy Nvidia chips and start doing whatever the hell they want. There are contracts involved with a set of...

    The older model has 4 power phases for the GPU, the new one has 6. http://www.evga.com/articles/00897/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-970-FTW/ Their new design is a 8 power phase model, 6 for the GPU 2 for the VRAM.

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    I guess the lawsuit that Red Bull lost about "giving you wings" was a mystical story in wonderland and they never had to actually pay 13 million to it's consumers... You may think it's ridiculous, but things like that are happening because marketing is getting out of control with their claims...

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    It's all about perception on how you look at it... I went in looking at it with your point of view and agreed at first... but I went over and read it twice over... I'm not so sure that's exactly what he is saying. A lot of those translations can make out something entirely different that what he...

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    Thanks for sharing that. The translation makes it very disorienting to read, it's hard to make assumptions in what he is trying to say since the sentences are so gargled with translation errors. Maybe the micro stuttering issue can be fixed via driver refresh... Either way, it's too late for...

    Do you have a source to link on this? Or is this just here say?
