yes, in 3D mark Vantage about 2 percents ... same in Heaven with Tesselation, same in game ... in 3D mark 11 GeForce wins ...

Setup: Core i7-3930K @4.7 GH, Asus Rampage IV Extreme, 8 GB DDR3-2400 MHz Kingston, Antec HP-1200W. Drivers Catalyst 12.3 + GeForce 300.10. 3D Mark Vantage + 3D Mark 11 - Extreme Preset, 1920x1200 (1080) Heaven 3.0 - 2560x1600 Tesselation Disabled, 4xAF + 4xAA, 1920x1200 Tesselation Extreme 16xAF + 8xAA Crysis Warhead - 2560x1600 Enthusiast, DX10, 4xAA More games/test later ...

yes, because the are all faked ... with tess OFF

i am so happy i have E0, all E1 seems like shit ...

yes, the max limits of Tahiti GPU you can reach with reference card, Lightning is not better on air/on ln2 then reference cards, great features ... but for nothing. And for 600 USD? No way ... this is 3-months King, real champion will be GTX 680 Lightning ... with beefy VRM

thanks Mean Machine, i have to buy it in shop ... Second strange thing is Unlocked BIOS, i thought Unlocked (no powertune, no ocp, no ccc limits, no aps) in only LN2 BIOs, but it seems Original is unlocked too ... its good, but power consuption of card is brutal because no power tune ...

i have one BIG problem, no DVI output support Dual-link on this card, i cannot to connect 30" LCD, webpage of product confirms this EPIC FAIL! Dual Link: NA! WTF how can i to connect 2560x1600 panel? No 30" has DP now ...

that was misinterpreted, they are working on 2 GH capable card, but only under LN2 ... default clock will be 1200 MHz

its not too good clocker then classic model, maybe under LN2 will be better ... but i dont think so ... PS. i have it at home too ...

Chinatown is great ... whats wrong there massmann: there is no chance how to sue them, without paper NDA signed ... CPUs are from Taobao and its end of Francois Pidnoel scary tale ... many companies try to sue me too for leaks, NO ONE successfull!

exactly, difference is BIG, i am happy i have E0 ES ... because all E1 i had were CRAP!

bob80 - it working only in apps with profile in driver, but you can make own profiles for new apps ... sin0822 - you are wrong, look at this :http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yQzsBYn6hXM/T0s15EaUrMI/AAAAAAAAB6A/sUpJHz2Mqko/s1600/VirtuLineup.png carefully, there is no d-GPU mode for mVP for mobile system, there is only ONE GPU (iGPU) and HyperFormance and VirtVsync still supported ...

ive checked whitepaper, there is nothing about real principles, only PR massage ... read it carefully, its not talking about higher fps but better responsiveness PS. Against Multi-gpu theory is another fact, there is MVP exists for system with only one GPU (only i-mode mode) with HyperFormnce and Virtual Vsync ...

You are absolutely wrong, this is not CF with Intel HD Graphics but this only technically (virtually) raises fps for better input lag, fps are the same but to system are reported higher ... maybe some tweak there will raise these virtual fps to 1000 and you will see 3D Mark 11 single GPU results 50 000 points ... without Ocing the VGA! Check Anandtech analyse about it, this MVP is PURE FAKE to customers, to benchmarks ... it is not raises fps for real, but only reporting higher ...

hehe, you have the same board as i ... empty folder too, too early blue samples in the wild ..

i thought it same way, but Asus soft not working on MSI board ... but dont know why ...

this is very easy how to mask it and cheat results, make an higher score then in normal mode, 3D mark dont recognize MVP activated! You will see many world records with low-end VGAs

yes, ive tryed it, this first mobo was faulty ... i have new and is working properly ... BCLK 150

ive told ya, only 100 mhz strap working here ... everything at default, only change strap from 100 to 125/167 ... and mem from 2133/1866 to 1333/1600 and nothing, only FF on display, have to reset cmos ... sin - not Stepping 6/C1 3930K

i have (again) problem here, have BIOS 111, board behave very weird, lot of restarts, reboot loops, but with older bios is working, BUT ... any CPU Strap then 100 is not working, 125/167 = FF on display ... WTF?

this is card never be in shops ... this is HD 7970 PCB - card ony fore reviews, but all HD 7950 has different PCB and cheapo DDR modules ... mine Asus is stable only at 1150/6300

Kepler crush them in every benchmark and test! I spoke with some guy from NV and Kepler is as groundbreaking as the G80 GPU was. The enormous power, higher than the 7970 OC, a completely new architecture, no hotclock, many new features, gaming GPU only (Full big GPGPU chip will be released later), not a tuned Fermi but a completely brand new architecture. Now is starting manufacturers sampling phase, after Chinese New year we can expect first real leaks from chinese factories ... launch April.

massman - not only ASRock I have completed full Review for our magazine, but cause good relationship with intel will wait for permission ... for at least preview
