704 benchamrk. 58c for graphics card. poor mans pc c:

My 7970 Visiontek overclocks better than my XFX BE 7970. Enjoy Visiontek. Well underrated impo.



Word.

reference?

Yep. Visiontek isn't a bad brand for reference cards. I use a reference 7970 on my pc and I have the 5th or 6th fastest dual 7000s series on OCN. I could do better but my cpu won't stabilize at 5GHz.

If the 290 is anything like the 7970 card they made, it will beast.

Luck in the draw, unless you're buying a Lightning/Classified card you're going to get a speedbinned card.

i may try it then, i want a better pcb but i am not going to massive ocs, im using a water 2.0 extreme and the new nzxt bracket to cool it. sapphire tri-x got 1125 but i dont think they tried to push it (its ref pcb custom cooler). I'd be ok with 1200 core, i dont push memory.

Any reason you want a 290 over a 780?

which 780s can be voltage unlocked.

All 780's can
MSI AB Mod can allow up to 1.3v with any GTX 780 with the NPC Voltage controller.

1.3v is more than enough with a simple MSI AB Tweak, if you want any further volts you'll have to use one of the two 1.3v+ Mods.
