i do. I was just replying to Cico187a's comment: "sorry buddy, but the new HD 5970 is now officially the best graphics card in the world =D".He says that the 5970 is the fastest. The 285 was the fastest SINGLE gpu on the planet before the 5870 came around. They are in two different categories.
Nothing to be sorry about bud this card is 10 or 11 months old and considering the 5970 is new it aint all that impressive especially as its just 2 handicapped 5870s on one board.
Sure that's the FTW Edition? Because EVGA's GTX 285 FTW Edition I bought came with a backplate. And EVGA claim all their FTW cards will have backplates.
if your FTW came with backplate then its a fake FTW mine were the true 720 core FTW yours will be really an ssc at 702, with a backplate which imo doesnt make it FTW.
or the FTW, nothing in between as EVGA have a binning process to rate there cards sc cards are sc because they didnt make it as a ssc or FTW. SSC are ssc because they didnt cut it as a FTW. The vanilla ones are cards that didnt make it as any of the oc'ed versions, but there are also vanilla cards that arent tested and binned, these can be super clockers and if had been tested would have maybe made it into the FTW class. FTW garanteed 720 core clock
90 day step up is to let you upgrade to a higher end graphics card, for the trade-in of your evga current graphics card. Such as trading in a gtx 260 for a gtx 280, this will cut the original cost of the card you want to trade in for, but you still have to pay for some percent of price. But this is good because you get to throw your old graphics away for a new higher-end one, and only pay for a part of the one your trading-in for
mine actully didnt i got the gtx 260 core 216 though and that didnt... hdmi cables are expencive as fuck as bestbuy to so i had to order the hdmi to dvi cable off newegg was like 7 bucks lol wish it would come faster haha
Why are they so exdpensive from stores, i needed on quickly so i went to pc world and paid 70 pounds for one then after checking online i could have paid as little as 5 pounds, saying that though the one i bought is real high quality, but does it make a difference really probably not.
what i dont get is the 9800 gx2 came with a hdmi plugin built on the card like the gtx 295 also it came with a hdmi cable which is bullshit considering none of the gtx's came with a hdmi cable
ya the bfg gx2 comes with hdmi cable the gtx 295s have the hdmi on it so you dont need the adapter i dont get why they dont just put them on all there cards
Ive moved away frrom XFX now they took nearly 3 months to replace my bad 280 although they upgraded it to a XXX version when it finally completed, but the other reasons are the clock speed they have launched there 285s with they are no faster than there 280s with the black edition being the exeption, but even that isnt as fast as most other branded flagship editons. They normally have the fastest clocked cards out of the lot, it seems they wud rather fuck around with ATI at the mo, so Fuck them
Iam building a new PC but i was wondering what CPU should I get the core i7 965 or the core i7 920? if i get the i7 965 then i would have some craap video cards.
some people say is stick with the i7 920 cuz the 965 is a rip off.. i dont know what to get can u help me out guys.
and where did u get that graphics card iam searching this for 2 weeks in "popular sites" ex: amazon but there not available.
Also if the toss up is between the 920 and good video card and 965 and crap video card get the 920 it will over clock to basically the same speed as any 965 can hit on air or water with the few exeptional chips. The only time its worth getting the 965 is if you really can afford it (Bragging rights) or you use ln2, phase change or dry ice
You can change the refrence cooler with any evga card as they have a modder freindly warrenty they also cover you for overclcoking and use of there voltage tool, please check for where you live as warrenties differ in different parts of the world North america and canada are defo covered for modder warrenty
As far as i know the modder warrenty doesnt apply for us brits :( Things may have changed tough so its worth checking but still if you card ever fails just dont tell them the card was overclocked or you swapped the stock fan for water blocks as long as you can but the old stuff back on that is.
I just constantly sell the old stuff and add a little cash to it that way i dont really have to spend to much. Its not possible to sli the 285 amnd 295 but you can install on same mobo and use one for physx only but a 285 or 295 is bloody expensive physx card.
Which im 100% sure he will but its just a bit of fun hopefully we will something from trubritar soon to and when Stan gets his i7 we will have a comp on our hands as his 285s clock like a bitch and theres Kripter to he has also beat my 86 secs avg if youve not been to his channel its worth checking out..
Nice Video, Hey some one on trubritars forums was asking about FTW editions being unstable. Prove them wrong :). And BTW Evga has better warranty, if you burn out one with overclocking they will replace it
truthfully a complete fluke i ordered the ssc version and this is what arrived, the strage thing is no where in the Uk has them even listed including the place i ordered from, so who knows how i got this. Lucky bum is about right i suppose.
I was a big fan of xfx but have you seen the clock speeds on the xfx gtx 285s no different to the the 280s thats why, also ive been waitng over 2 months for a replacement 280 from them and finally they are making ati cards this may have something to do with it oh and the voltage tweaker supports only evga cards. so theres 4 reasons
