no i use EVGA OC Scanner and i was stable at 850Mhz core full load temps were around 87c, i only run that oc on benches.

yer i have that i run OCCT on my cpu i use EVGA OC Scanner because it tests for artifacts, both heat up my GPU at the same speed all programs like furmark,OCCT,Kombustor or OC Scanner are based on the same software, but i dont really care if it 100% stable because i do game on those clocks

Features:

* Built-in stress tester to find and report artifacts
* Benchmark function to quickly test your performance
* GPU vitals show clock speeds and temperatures
* GPU protection feature allows automatic shutoff at a set temperature
* Customizable screen resolutions
* Built-in log functionality

I keep hearing how hot the card is, how loud the fan is and power hungry the GPU is

and I have owned several 5870's and now a 480 gtx and I cannot believe how bias and misinformed people are about this video card. There are alot of fan-boys out there on this forum who have zero Idea of what they are talking about. This card is hotter running and uses allot of power but thats because it's super powerful, and the fan thing is straight nonsense unless your applying the same issue to the stock cooler on the 5870 and compared to it this cooler is great. I loved all my 5870's and don't wish to bad mouth them at all but for God sakes don't bad mouth a product unless you have first hand knowledge about it. They said this same crap about the 280 gtx and there was nothing wrong with it either. This video card smacks of quality and is built rock solid.

Idling a fan somewhere in my case makes more noise, and gaming, who cares...

yer i know what you mean my 2 year old 280 the i replaced the TIM on ran round 87c when playing game my 480 sits on 73c, the fan is loud when on 100% be it never get that hot only when using programs to heat it up, lots of people believed evey word W1zz's review said because he said it was a bad card and the 470 was the better card, but i don't find this card any different than when i brought my 280,

Hmh, I'll put these here and not make a new thread to NVIDIA sector.

No idea what this site is, seems like a punch of silly rumors, but here goes:

nVidia to drop CUDA support on GTX465?
http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/nvidia-to-drop-cuda-on-gtx465/

End of the road for GTX470?
http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/faith/end-of-the-road-for-gtx470/

Maybe they want to improve site traffic or maybe there is some right information on there too somewhere. But that second news also talks about GTX 490 and that would surely be interesting monster :)

thanks, i really don't think nvidia will kill off the 470 even if they are bring out a new card they haven't never done that before and theres no reason to.

Me neither, 465 to 480 would be too big of a performance cap, 470 is here to stay, but the availability might suffer if they'd really use that to make double card, which I also doubt.

Although if they want to beat 5970, then double GTX 465 overclocked will be the lowest possible to do so. GTX 460 won't cut it, no cuda cores to unlock as it already has the max GF104 will have.

the cuda core is built into the gforce cards now ? i don't think there is a need for that yet most games don't use hardware rendering .

i suppose it dose give you a 3d capability but I'm not aware of any games that make use of this atm .

the only way they could turn off Cuda would be with the drivers, if they do make a new dual card it probably be called a GTX 485 not 490 and they could use 2x480 chips but it be only watercooled, that site looking at the forums at this

Hate to say it, but the site is total BS, at least the CUDA article is, I haven't read the GTX470 article.

CUDA runs on the shaders of the GPU. nVidia, in all their wisdom, renamed the shaders to CUDA cores, but they are really just shaders. The GTX465 will have less shaders enabled then the GTX470 and GTX480, but it will use the same chip, this has been confirmed. So, the only way to completely disable CUDA would be to remove all the shaders, which would yeild a totally useless graphics card, or disable it in drivers. There is no benefit to disabling it via drivers, it won't help with heat, it won't help with power consumption, and it won't make the chip any cheaper.

this 'cuda disabling' doesn't make sense from start to end.... Cuda is one of Nvidias technologies, both in high and low end cards since a long time, who the f*** came up with this nonsense?

Heh, as expected both stories were false :p

"...no time has production of the GTX470 card been affected."

"all of nVidia’s new cards fully support CUDA and that there are no plans to release an nVidia card in this generation that does not have CUDA support. The nVidia spokesperson we talked to was prepared to go on record as saying “These rumors are categorically incorrect.” Fair enough."

Thanks a lot LiveORDie, for sure those skins are SWEET :)

I'd like to run Precision because I have used it for 2 years, but isn't Afterburner more feature-rich? (Voltage, 2D-3D profles auto-switching...)

It doens't matter MUCH because I am happy with the card's stock profiles and everything.... Just to monitor Temps aand Fans maybe.
