XFX used to be exclusively a nVidia partner before jumping ship to AMD. They haven’t been partners with AMD/ATi for nearly as long as Sapphire for example. I think they swapped partners about halfway through the HD 4000 series, I remember the last XFX/nVidia card I tested was a GTX 9800.
epic (:
typo page 3, Testing Procedure, “The test the performance of video cards… ” should be “To test …”
thank you!
ur welcome 🙂
You mentioned there’s no point going beyond 1050Mhz core. Why not? bypass the limits and you could squeeze another 100mhz (at least) from that core, no voltage changes needed
I say there is no point because most driver/software loopholes that allow you to circumvent these limits have been shut with updates. If you can find a way around the limit without voiding your warranty then definitely – it’s worth trying to go further but if you can’t I wouldn’t recommend risking your warranty to go further.
