I call BS on that picture and the story he uses. +100Mhz and power limit to max? No way...
He's also a first poster.
I hope so, because if true and it starts happening to other users I will refuse delivery when my Evga shows up
I trust WorldExclusive over on OC.net believe me...it's a troll post.
Thanks.
The whole 680 GTX = 660 Ti has killed a little bit of excitement from me toward the card and something like this would definitely push me over the edge:|
Nvidia has had some questionable engineering practices in the past, but this would be an insane oversight. I can't see it being true; I don't think you have anything to worry about. :thumbsup:I hope so, because if true and it starts happening to other users I will refuse delivery when my Evga shows up

A bad attempt at photo shopping. Wonder why some people do this kind of stuff..
Because he's some little brat who is 14 years old and his mother likely bought his 7970 for him, and he wants to feel good about having an AMD product.
Even if he's 25, he is still acting like a 14 year old, and should be dealt with for misleading consumers.
Well, duh. It's a tech forum. People who come here are generally tech junkies. I'm also a member of a pool forum, and people over there spend thousands of dollars on custom cues so they can show them off. To a non-pool player, and even to a casual player, that's insane. But to those guys, it's justified. That's what a hobby is. Our hobby is tech, so we congregate here to discuss the latest tech and spend more money than we probably should on the latest and greatest. Right now, the GTX 680 is it.No but really I don't see how the 680 is worth it at this price, after so long at all. People on this forum just buy stuff to have it and talk about it. It offers nothing special at a price and performance ratio that is worse than the last generation (after a long wait) that many of us skipped because there is no point in upgrading. Dud.
I don't think people running tri-fire 7970s are their target market...I'm not buying at this moment. Happy so far with my three 7970s. I'm waiting for more information on the nVidia's true high end part, the GK110.
680 is best designed card from nv since 8800gtx, of course I bought it. I only buy nv because that's what I'm used to OCing and drivers so of course I'm going to buy their best in a long time. I don't even need it. GTX 580 seems to play everything great at 19x12 but this will be quieter.

Someone who just spent ~$1700 on video cards within the last couple months is not a likely candidate to upgrade again immediately. A far more likely market segment is people who have not yet upgraded but were considering purchasing 7970s or 7950s.I don't understand that. Explain. People with money to spend have always been nVidia's target market.
Well that's fair. Most people who spend that much upgrading their computers don't do it every couple months. But there's obviously a few. I just don't think nvidia is really worried about that market segment since it's so small.I guess you don't know me then.
I guess you don't know me then.
Do you upgrade only for upgrade's sake and not for the benefit it brings because you just like changing hardware?
Yes, death. It's the obvious Internet forum choice for punishment.
