    Ghz Bios update for Gigabyte 7970 3GB OC

    Can you clock higher with the Ghz bios though? I have read that GPU-Z will show the higher voltage but that it makes no practical difference because it's hardware locked and your overclocks will be the same. I read about someone else who had their BIOS modded and they were able to set it to...

    HyperSLI (Enabling SLI on non-sli motherboards)

    Hey, do you guys know how to get rid of the "test mode" text in the bottom right hand corner of the Windows desktop? I've uninstalled Hyper SLI and the SLI Patch. Any help would be appreciated. :)
