I guess 400 Mhz is more than enough :D. I thought the minimum is 800, since that's what is listed in Intel's Ark. They say: "Configurable TDP-down Frequency 800 MHz"
@LTK8K6: so then how does it reach 7.5W? Just by idling? Perhaps undervolting? I'm missing a piece here I think :).
Yeah, time. The person can't wait.
Anyway, I found out that these brands are basically some Chinese venture which has some offshore marketing office in Romania which handles manuals and advertisement and such.
So you can safely ignore my question now :D. In any case, I went for egreat after...
Egreat seems like a rather shady brand name if you ask me. But I have a limited selection for purchase, since this is for somebody in Romania.
It's either this egreat with 750 Mhz Realtek:

Or this one with 500 Mhz Realtek. PNI seems...
Got it some two weeks ago. It's awesome ::- D. I can't say more than that because I haven't run benchmarks or stuff. It handles anything I throw at it at 1920 x 1200 max details and that's what I wanted ::- D. What I can say is that indeed I got the 8 + 8 pin variant and it's one big card...
Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation guys! Yeap, I went ahead and ordered the 8+8.
I won't be doing much overclocking, mind you, but the advantage is having a good, stable card with rather silent operation.
Big THANK YOU to everybody.
SO far, I see that the clock speed of Flex OC is 860 to 925, but the VaporX is 950.
Then how come the Flex OC is more expensive?
The Flex OC with Boost...
MTDEW: Hi, thanks for jumping in.
Yes, I understand it is a switch, but it's cumbersome to open the case to *switch* it ::- D.
The Vapor-X with Boost I linked has a clock rated at 950 MHz. So you're saying that I can actually force it to stay at 950 *constantly*, right? Provided I have good...
Unfortunately, the BIOS button is *inside* the case (at least I don't see it in the back of the video card in any of the pictures). I can't go opening my case every time I want to play a game.
One more question guys: can you actually *prevent* the Boost feature from being used? What if I...
lehtv: thanks for posting the links and prices man :D.
Why would you recommend the 8+8 pin but not the other? VRM stuff I suppose?
As I wrote in my initial post: I am very skeptical about "Boost" cards because of that graphic in the AnandTech review. And later I wrote that "I don't like how...
Rikard: So what you're saying, is that if I use Sapphire's stuff, voltage control works, right?
lehtv & Shmee: what about this card? This is the one I'm tempted to get (see Specifikationer tab)...
Shmee: and which is the one with the best cooler? :D. It appears to me that the VaporX has a pretty decent one, or am I wrong?
Rikard: maybe they "fixed" it with the new drivers (considering there is something to fix - and I *DO* consider that there is something to fix => just look at the chart...
