ASUS Releases its ENGTX400 Series Graphics Accelerators with VoltageTweak

Maybe this voltage controller can be used to reduce the voltage and make these cards at least somewhat decent when it comes to temps?? :shadedshu
 
The new graphics cards from ASUS deliver all the benefits of the debuting 40nm NVIDIA GPUs, possessing considerable power improvements compared to their predecessors

yeah, is it power improvements in watt, or power improvements in in strength

oh wait, obviously power in watt :roll:

More voltage through these? so... ever hotter?

Not sure that's smart...

Your meant to cool it down with something better then stock. Like most cards and CPUs.

I for one disagree, many users out there like me wouldn't take the risk to void their warranty or ruin their GPU even secretly or by removing the stock heatsink at all. Although the CPU is a completely different story, imo custom cooling is where you turn to non-reference designs.

Its reasonable for the 4k series and 8k - 9k/ gtx series to add aftermarket coolers.. but recently with the amount of distributors out there defining their non reference cards with water cooling blocks and or a massive heatsink I'd think its uncessary.


Adding voltage tweaks to this card without use of better coolers doesn't really make much sense to me unless you're under volting..

If I had a GTX 480 with VoltageTweak, the only way I would be tweaking the voltage would be down. :shadedshu

GTX470 has less shaders, lower clock than GTX480.

It will overclock better than GTX480 obviously.

It has a weaker VRM than the one on the 480.
 
Enthusiasts have waited a long time for the new 400 series of GPUs from NVIDIA, which promises at least three times the performance levels of the previous mainstream desktop 200 series.

I don't remember Nvidia saying that?

from their mouth I think 1.5-3.5x the performance of a GTX285 was the figure, a mainstream 200 series card however is a 260/275... tessellation and the rest is a different matter from sheer performance in current games

...at least three times.... Asus are bold I'll give 'em that.
