GTX 980 overclocked to 2.1Ghz - K|NGP|N (Techpowerup)

[rtsurfer]

I've never been under the impression that the marketing was trying to fool us into believing the cards they are selling are capable of these things. I just don't see any of these feats being at all relevant to the purpose for which the product was intended in the first place (gaming/compute). It's like if Chevrolet announced tomorrow that a production based Corvette just set the "world speed record while going in reverse" for a production based vehicle. Who cares? It's not relevant to how a user would ever use the product.

OTOH, I can agree much of the lure of it for the people doing it is simply "because we can". I just don't see how any of it is exciting for an outsider.

How is not relevant to an Overclocker.?
We might be a minority but what card has the best power delivery, which cards are better binned, etc is important to some of us. It is not relevant to how you would use a product but it is relevant to me or somebody else (however few of us their might be).

Its good to know that the Corvette has a Strong enough base that I can build upon, add turbos & stuff.
Are gonna put the turbo on a Corolla. ?

The world doesn't just revolve around you.

They should've run Crysis 3 at 4K with this card...I think 2100MHz might be enough to break 30 fps...

I think you completely missed my point on both. What a chip can do at -100C has little bearing on what that same chip may do at say 40C under normal water. As for the car, did you miss the "in reverse" part? No one buys such a car to go fast in reverse.

But some of us are interested in what a chip can do at -100C.

It's like a sport.
Maybe not a sport, but a game. Which can only be played at Sub zero.

I do both 24/7 sub-zero (phase change) and bench runs with LN2/DICE.

If you don't find the extreme OCing scene interesting then why engage in discussions about it? The idea is not to get good performance in games etc., the idea is to push hardware as high it can go as a hobby.

Nobody is saying it's not interesting. We just point out that this guy/team are just there for marketinf purpose. On the other side, in your case, you do it for fun and for bragging... Just like me man.

Olli I'm sorry for what I've done. Honestly. :$

If the GTX 980ti comes with 6gb ram and 384 bit bus, I might get 4 of them.

After your previous video card issues... I hope it runs well. Its time you had some smooth sailing.

+1

Thank you for summoning up what I have been thinking all along.

You mean issuessssssss.

But with a Quad Gpu setup with 7680x1440, it's honest to expect some issues.
But yes I'm thinking of going big die Maxwell. But still, nothing guarantee me of having an issue free setup.

Every time I ran Crossfire or Trifire with 4k resolution, the experience was flawless.

One day I hope to experience that but monetary investment is far too great for me right now.
