NVIDIA Response GTX 600 Series Voltage Control

[cmdrdredd]

and you do have that option still. Its your card to do whatever you want with it. If you really want huge voltage control, hardware mods exist. They sell kits for it and there is plenty of step by step guides for rookies. You can also have it done by someone else if its important. The HW mod will give you extreme voltage capabilities.

But i would also like add that many dont get extreme clocks from it. Even with complete voltage control to ultra high amounts, the 680 only gets in the 1400mhz range. We see 1300 to 1350mhz boost with the voltage cap. Its just not getting a lot higher even with a major over volt.

All this drama is pointless.

It's the principal of it all not the capabilities you think every GPU shows just the same as every other.

This really sucks.

While I was writing this article I learned that NVIDIA just issued new BIOS files to the AIC partners and is frowning upon voltage tweaking outside their limitations. As such all new batches Lightning cards will have BIOSes where their limit of 1.175V is enforced, even in the LN2 BIOS. MSI has to follow that directive or probably face the fact that they will not be able to purchase the GPUs anymore.

nVidia doesn't stand behind anyone's 680. It's the AIB partner who warranties the card. Ask anyone who bought a BFG card how nVidia's warranty coverage is.

+1. Indeed. Nvidia barely stands behind their chips at the best of times anyhow. Being in Europe, my BFG warranty had just about ran it's course when my BFG 8800GT bumped on me.

Hm, new verb and meaning. If it caught on, I wonder if future etymologists would be perplexed by its origin?
