Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

GTX 780 to cost €500?!

http://www.overclock.net/t/1391488/vc-inno3d-geforce-gtx-780-boxing-picture-specifications-confirmed

I'll take 80% of a Titan for that money! If this gets released before June 10th (Step-Up expiry) I'll be ordering one for sure.

Is that to be a replacement for the 680 or the Titan?

Yes!

That said, ASRock's new sound might be up to the task. That, or I'll pick up something like a Xonar STU.

I was just about to suggest the Essence One :pac:. I'm guessing the STU is its replacement. I need to get mine shipped over

Yup, that's the one.

Holy crap, it is! I completely missed that.

Now, someone, please bring a 3-slot WC-friendly ITX case to market...

They're all ATX, except for the two mATX boards denoted by X87M.

They have a Z87 ITX board, but it's not listed there, and I haven't seen much about it in the various info posts around the place, but I know someone is building an SFF gaming system around it, so it does exist.

heres a pic of the board

its black:D

2 red boards? I only see one

They are all ATX boards similar to asrocks z77 lineup

This was what i was referring to http://www.chiploco.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ASRock-A-Style-Features_7.jpg

Waterproof motherboards, finally!

HDMI-in seems pretty interesting.

I see the front USB3.0 compatible refreshes of the Asrock 970 Pro3/Extreme3 are coming into stock at HWVS.

770 BIOS works on 680 ! Only slight risk of memory explosions

Serephucus

Yup, should be. Assuming the item is in stock, etc.

So if I ordered today, be here by friday ??

Serephucus

Two nights, usually.

Anyone know what delivery times are like with dabs?

Did you not save your BIOS settings to a profile?

Had forgotten that step ^^

The PCI/PEG setting had me scratching my head for a while with the second GPU. Got to bed at like 3:o

You can download the lifelike human rendering head from nvidia now.

Cata update from 13.1 to 13.4 crashed midway on me, caused a load of hassle. F'ck sake. Gotta re-enter all my OC settings into the bios now, fun times(there are loads in a deluxe board).

Deano12345

Anyone seen that leaked driver/BIOS that flashes a 680 into a 770 ? I know it's technically the same card, but I thought NV would have locked this thing down. Near 7GHz IIRC on the memory, would be interesting to see how it runs though !

Is there any kind of guideline to go by to figure out if your memory speed is holding back your core overclock?

I haven't seen a huge amount of articles on GPU memory scaling, but from what I recall the most sophisticated DX11 graphics games/benchmarks (3dmark etc) will nearly always see some performance improvements as you increase memory speed, never anywhere same scale as GPU of course.

I have one article in particular in mind will post the link if I can find it.

EDIT:

Found it, Metro 2033 actually shows much more impressive gains that I was expecting from the memory overclock itself, over 10% :eek:

http://www.techbuyersguru.com/VRAMocing.php

Also stumbled across this for BF3 while searching from the above, seems it also gets a decent performance boost from just the memory overclocks .

BloodBath

Gains from memory will be minute in comparison. They already have huge memory bandwidth. I wouldn't touch the voltage on them. Just overclock it to whatever it will go to at stock voltage.

I've seen random comment here and there. Can't remember the numbers off-hand. Doesn't the 7950 have huge memory bandwidth such that it doesn't make much of a difference to overclock it?

I do know that I get almost 100 % linear gains from overclocking my core, though, so I don't think stock memory speed is holding me back. If I have a 1100mhz overclock going (over stock of 950), that's a 16% increase in clock speeds, I get pretty much spot on, that increase in frames.
