Harvard is about to release 14 new DDR3-1601 kits a birdie told me :p Nice brand name LOL

They in deed show how VGA Hotwire is done, etc, but they don't seem to mention their overclocking experience ( clocks ) with raised voltages. The 1328MHz GPU Core clock measurements in the charts were done with the stock voltage of the card ( 1.175V which in reality is more around 2.08V )...

Thought you had one. What's up with Asus nowadays. In the past you could get several motherboards to review easily, but VGA's harder. Can't believe they haven't supplied you with a R4E. I don't blame the crisis though :p With the DCUII apart from any shorts that you need to do ( can be...

Of course you can use 2 DVI cables.

I see 3 reviews of the DCUII online today and none of them tested the card with the VGA Hotwire feature of the Rampage IV Extreme. What's up with that ? I'm pretty sure that Asus would like to see it included in the reviews.

nVIDIA has no "ZeroCore Power Saving" feature-alike. In ZeroCore Power when your monitor goes into standby ( the computer's obviously idling at the desktop ) the card goes into a hardcore power saving mode, in which case consumes very little, pretty close to none ( what's ~5W ? ). nVIDIA...

No RIVE to test the card with higher Vgpu with VGA Hotwire ?

I use Swiff Chart 3 Pro to create the charts ( it accepts manual & automated input from excel sheets ). It's what PowerPoint is for presentations, only much better at what it does :D

I can't promise anything, but I might add an i3 2xxx for example. Don't know when and how far I'll take it. Just HT on & HT off at stock and "overclocked" probably. It depends on my schedule and how much free time I'll have to sacrifice.

You do realize that just what I tested took already well over 200 hours of testing, and another hundred of chart creation, text writing, screenshot taking/resizing/uploading :p Also that I don't have all the time in the world to dedicate it in a single article/review. I also have no i3/i3 2nd...

Sorry I don't feel like talking to a brick wall.

I see the Sandy Bridge clocked at... 3.4GHz ( Stock ), 4.28GHz ( a easy to hit clock for all 2500K/2600Ks, and also chosen on purpose for a clock per clock ( same MHz testing ) against the 980X... ), and 5GHz. Think you missed the 5GHz test results ? If by "capacity" you mean IPC, or...

Long time no "see" man :) In the core count tests the motherboard didn't like anything except the 38x Multiplier, don't ask me why, it's Gigabyte :p Could be a CPU limitation, I need to check it on another board. Stock GPU vs OCed GPUs, GPU components OC, performance dependency on...

If you're a computer & gaming forums freak I'm fairly sure that you've seen people asking if buying a faster memory ( RAM ) kit will give them more fps in their favorite games, others asking how to overclock their Sandy Bridge 2500K to 5GHz for 24/7 usage in order to "remove" the bottleneck...

Whatever you guys are drinking, share some!
