How the hell are infrared pictures Pro AMD?
I wonder what the settings were when the pics were taken. If that's a stock 590 at load, with stock fan profile, yeah, thats Nvidias fault.
Kinda hard to know what those pics are saying without test methodology.
It does if the fan rpms went up, which they probably did, and more than a little to say the least to cool that card. Both of those cards really push the limits of what is practical in a single slot, but the nV card has clearly gone over the edge there. I wouldn't be surprised if the RMA rates on the 590GTX will be or are through the roof.125 additional watts only raised temp by 6*c? Hrmmmmm doesn't seem right
where was quality control in the company? he should be fired for this shit. should of tested it further to see if it can suvive in the real wolrd
the same idiot who designed the HD6900 series cooler was fired and immediately hired by nVidia. Remeber, all launch HD6950/70 cards had a corner of the PEG connector shaved off, due to clearance issues Delayed the damn thing for a whole month
Not like the french are using or need their infra red equipment for warfare. Imagine all the infrared cams that they will loose when they run awayAgain from a french site. Why does it seem that all Pro AMD stuff comes from French websites?
Ok take a psu. remove the all the ocp protections. Now start pulling a load from it till it goes poof. Do we run around saying its junk coz it went poof after we did something to over its spec?

yes, since it will fail to deliver power past a certain point, reguardless of OCP and OPP. If it blows up... it's bad by design and component choice.
all psus will go poof bad or good when you load it over its spec. Some just go poof quicker than others. But there's only so much a circuit can take. That's why if you don't know a thing or its new don't go just throw a current at it without knowing its limits. It will go poof
If its a crap psu, a good psu will shut down. I recently plugged in a hard drive that had a short in it. Guess what happened, my psu shut down the rails the hdd was using (I could tell as my other mechanical hdd shut down also) and the computer kept running even though the rail the hdd was on was overloaded by a short.
Sorry but if it was designed good it would shut down before it damaged itself. It's not a new concept even cpu's shut down when they reach there limit (thermally, you can still kill them by overvolting). If you make the protective limits bypassable then whats the point still a flawed design.
OMG, can you people even read the articles? They were using OLD DRIVERS that seemed to have an error with not regulating the voltages. The people over at OCC said their cards WOULD regulate them when they went too high.
Look take you HD 6990, find its stock volts, use the first beta driver that ever came out and increase the volts by 0.25/0.3(0.95-1.2/.9-1.2). See what your HD 6990 does.
So the takeaway is nVidia can't write drivers (not that AMD can...)?
Well, that's not news. We've known that for years
Actually, they released new drivers for the GTX 590 before it was released and these websites still used the old one. Why eat a 2 week old pizza when you can eat a new one?
because it takes 2 weeks to do a review and nvidia recommended the drivers the cards came with.. dur?!?!
