I do but evidently you think you know better so why don't you enlighten us on how you arrived at the conclusion of the 7970 "owning" all the NVIDIA cards in frametime latency in that techreport review?
It's a long story dude, google it

Here is a snippet from the techreport review Crysis 3:
This last metric measures "badness"—that is, time spent working on really high-latency frames. Here, the Radeon HD 7970's smaller spikes at those trouble points in the test run give it the edge. AMD's drivers and GPU combine to produce a smoother gaming experience in this case.

The AMD reality distortion field is strong here (so strong they will probably be sued by Apple :O)

I feel bad for buying 79xx, I don't want to be associated with these people.


Some of them like Leadbox think the AMD cards are "owning" ALL Geforce in frametime latency. That has to be the quote of the month.

You said and I will quote:
Anyone else notice how the radeon is owning the geforces in the frame-time/latency stakes using FCAT in the Techreport review?

And this is your definition of "owned". Two games out of all of them where it BARELY squeeks ahead in frame latency? LOL! Put away the drugs, kid.

P.S. Too bad they didn't run Crossfire vs SLI eh?

Just freaking wow man. I knew the delusions were there, but I didn't realize it warped reality for them so sharply.

Yeah it truly is amazing. I've seen some golden posts tonight:

1. AMD has no pressure to compete despite its dire financial straits and shrinking market share.

2. AMD is "owning" ALL Geforce cards in frame latency<--this one is just too funny.

3. Jen Hsung is a "classless" douche because he owns a Ferrari.

Wow..just wow.

I meant nVidia card prices that you were talking about.

Love your little snide remarks (in bold) besides just addressing my points. If you are trying to annoy me or appear superior somehow, don't bother. You have me confused with someone who is concerned with what you think.

You don't love ANY of my remarks. I'm addressing EVERY "point" you utter. Im not trying to annoy you or appear superior, but that's just how it seems.
If you weren't concerned with what I think, I'd be on your ignore list.

Keys, you dissappoint me m8, you were all for this new metric and here you coming across all clueless about what it is and what it measures.

Joker, if you bothered to examine the frame latency by percentile graphs, you would see that for the last 5-10% of the rendered frames, the radeon dont fall off as badly a the geforces in all the tested games - so yes "owned"

Apparently your perception of "owned" isn't shared by the author of that review or any other sane person on the planet.

Judging by the tone and context of your posts you really are no better than the other "side" that you hate so much. FYI. You sound just like them. I really wish the partisan nonsense on both sides would end, and for everyone to realize that arguing with a crazy by sounding like....another crazy doesn't really help your cause.

I would assume that he's referring to single card latency, where in fact the new radeon drivers did put the 7970 on par with the Geforce. On the other hand, crossfire is still broken, and this is where frame latency matters most - this is so broken, and it's pretty stupid for AMD customers that they must wait until June (July?) for a fix.

The tone of my posts are fairly subdued compared to the ridiculous things being posted here. I don't see you pointing those out.

I only glanced at the last page, and you are indeed correct. I also don't want to get involved in a circular argument along the lines of "Well you did it!" , "So they did too!" You can see that would be never-ending I'm addressing that to not just you as mentioned in my post - I wasn't trying to offend you or anything. Just don't lower yourself to "their" level, know what I mean? Clearly some of those guys are acting like crazy people with outlandish statements. I don't disagree with you there, at all.

With that out of the way:

TPU just reviewed the EVGA ACX model:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_780_SC_ACX_Cooler/

Results are similar to the WF3 GTX 780. Not too bad!

That ACX cooler is very nice, its a shame that it doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing as the stock cooler. Nonetheless, if someone is concerned about throttling due to temps, they can always jump to a modded vbios (like the one in my sig) that removes GPU boost 2.0, sets a high power limit etc.

I think the first post needs to be delineated between stock cooler and custom cooler.

Something like:

Reference Reviews:
<LINKS HERE>

Gigabyte Windforce 780 Reviews:
<LINKS HERE>

Inno3D iChill Herculez 780 Reviews:
<LINKS HERE>

EVGA ACX 780 Reviews:
<LINKS HERE>

Just have the Reviews that cover more than one category of these at the same time in full be in all the respective categories and it should be fine.

Does it still void the NV cards warranty?

Indeed, I don't like the appearance at all. The reference Titan cooler looks pretty darn awesome, I can see a lot of people going that route for aesthetics alone.

That said, I really like the WF3 coolers. I'm debating with myself as to whether I should have the reference I ordered refused through UPS to exchange it - and opt for that WF3 or DC2 instead. Haven't heard anything about custom MSI versions which are my favorite.

It does in the same way overclocking your CPU does.

Nope technically you can buy overclocking insurance. It's not like they are desperate to prevent it though like NV is lately.

Also, overclocking AMD cards does not void the warranty.

Nice try to pretend like it's the 'norm'.

Technically yes but you can always flash back before sending it in for RMA.

You're just hoping you can boot the card and flash it back before any potential RMA. If it actually dies like no image good luck with your $650-1000 paperweight.

It really is no different than the 7970 folks flashing to the 7970GE. Can you brick the card? Well sure, if you're incredibly stupid. If you turn the PC off while in the middle of a flash, maybe. I highly doubt the BIOS alone with higher Boost parameters will cause a bricked card, though - The chances of any complications happening are nearly zero - IMO.
