Quite amusing that it is essentially a rebadged 8-series card, as it potentially gives some insight to Nvidia's current 'tactics' ... which are pretty weak if you ask me!
Otherwise, very thorough review as ever

The ability to raise voltage without physical modifications is great. However I would have liked to know the stock voltage.

You would think so, but then the general public will often be fooled into thinking that 9xxx > 8xxx. Clever marketing I guess, and they can get away with essential 'evergreening' by providing the adapter and software, lol. -------------------- :: X-Fi Xtreme Music [hardnrg Hotrodded] :: 40" Samsung A686 :: Yamaha AX-300 :: :: Little Dot MK III Valve Amp :: Sennheiser HD 595 :: Dell Studio 17 :: Tannoy M3 :: :: For Everything, A Reason :: |
