Rare GPUs / Unreleased GPUs

170 TMUs is that correct, please I need more I nfo on this card, I will most certainly add this to the database but I need more info, open it up I want the GM204-??? number and everything
I had a chance to buy one of these a number of years back, non-working, but I passed it up for a Tahiti ES at the time. Still feel bad about it.



I don't think it's correct. The card doesn't bench any better and really doesn't perform any different as far as I can tell. I'll open it up today and look at the ASIC revision, but it's a pretty late sample (3914, same week the 980 launched to retail).
it has a different ID though so it may be different afterall
 
GeForce 7950 GX2

this helps out a lot and a shame it doesn't have its own asic id

I'll point out that the card at stock boost of 1354 - 1367MHz is proving to be around 4-6% faster than most retail 980s running at higher clocks of 1400MHz in 3DMark. Haven't done much more looking around for comparisons.

that is the stock clock from the eng sample?
 
Yeah stock boost is reported at 1367MHz and it'll bounce around that speed under load. Every program I have that will report clockrate shows it, and they all will also show that the stock clock is 540MHz.
I need W1zzard to explain the bios for it, did u upload the bios so I can have a look at it?
 
GPU-Z won't pull the vBIOS. I'm new to Maxwell and newer nVidia cards in general so I'm not sure of other ways to get the vBIOS.
use nvflash from our downloads section
 
Personal fave is the ENG GTX 480 512 CUDA.

Wow is this your one?

Also, from the sound of that name, it's got all 512 shaders enabled, is that correct? If so, it must bench very close to a GTX 580.

Yeah.....with the same heat as a small nuclear blast. :D

No i don't own one, i wish :)

Yes 512 cores.

Yeah, I can just imagine the NVIDIA engineers all wearing heatproof :laugh: hazmat suits when the thing is running.
 
Got a 3DFX Voodoo4 PCI version
And a Diamond 12MB Voodoo2
Those rare?

No very common actually, can buy one from the local shop.... :rolleyes:
 
Depends on your location. All Voodoo's here are tough to find and usually expensive.
 
GTX 980 ENG Sample.

This is an earlier version with a different board and the backplate. Also has the GTX 780 Ti's I/O shield instead of the higher airflow version that shipped on the retail 980.

And now for something, not really all that different.

GTX Titan Z ENG Sample

Complete with 3D Printed fan, ABS plastic windows and cheaply milled (possibly cast) shroud! It's a legit card though, just very early proof-of-concept I believe. Card works, but won't work with drivers. The PLX is not supported and I'm working on getting that up to speed so the drivers will load and I can get to testing.

Meanwhile, getting both these GTX 980 ES's in SLI for some fun.
 
Hey my MSI GTX 780Ti Lightning MOA is listed lol

wow those power phases. "Overkill" gets a new meaning here.

Yea its insane!! Overclocked to 1342MHz the VRM plate only gets somewhat hot to touch lol its absolutely nuts how overkill this is. Another interesting thing is the powerlimit is so damn high, i never seen it cross 25%!
