I was wondering about this myself.

But this would open up potential for more points to all levels.. And we wouldn't run into just 980X holding all of the records. Just wait til the sr2 comes out. Its going kill most of the 3d benchmarks.. and no one without will get any boints... just a thought.

The problem with this is in 64 bit windows GPUz will not read the proper speed. So then 32 bit windows would have to be a requirement.

Looks like it will release tomorrow.

Q3FE on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Core-i7-980X-EE-ES-Gulftown-FREE-SHIPPING-NEW_W0QQitemZ130372499250QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCPUs?hash=item1e5ace7732

The funny thing as I have had 4 reference cards before this one.. and they all clocked over 1000 on air... so... Kind of bummed.. It might be because of the cooling though.. not sure it can actually handle much more of oc in stock form.... I was able to oc memory without a hitch.. which was nice...

So far I can't get 1000 on core on air.. Hope LN2 is better..

Default bios that came on the card, Afterburner 1.5 Just spoke to MSI and it's an issue with the bios, should be fixed with the next release of Afterburner 1.5.1 which should be out real soon.

I know this must be some type of debate, but why don't we have seperate classes organized by CPU? Globals will still be globals.. but graphics by card and cpu.. ?????

Then you have some pissed off people who got the there gem chips the hard way... There are ways to get these chips.. ebay is one of them..

Just unpacked it and no lock overclocking this beast... Tried a couple different versions of afterburner with no luck..... You can change the clocks, but when using the multi-meter.. no change... Is there a special version out there?? because the public one doesn't work.. Maybe a driver issue? step

Slick Rick... I just wanted the P55 anyway...lol

THis is not a valid screenshot and should be denied. There are plenty of examples already posted.

Looks like a gold qpfe... I have one waiting.. just need a darn board... only 1156 for now til I get one of my boards back.. then it is on...

Wheres the shot of the machine? It is a requirement...

Ok cool, thanks for the reply mass. These cards are definitely making an impact.. Need to get me one of those... This time I will take better screenshots of my 3d benches...lol

I thought these cards were not supposed to be used for points? I see some of the top guys are using the Gigabyte 5870 Superclock and the MSI Lightning 5870. WHy are these ok? I thought the decision was that these won't count until they are released. Are they released and I just don't know how to buy one? If you know where to get one PM me. Thanks, steponz
