Gigabyte's Gamer HUD has been offering the same feature for about 6 months now.
Grrr...technical reasons my ass. They just wanna sell their recently released SSC version.
Not really, you can raise the overs by 0.2v or so and Jacob has said you will still be under warranty.Quote:

Volts mods physically modify the cards though. Not to mention not everybody can vmod properly or know how to turn to the proper resistance.
I don't care about warranty if they would make nice pads or holes to solder resistors directly into. That was nice on some older cards.
oh my god evga
i love you so much
TBH I think a warranty on non PCB damaging volt mods is better, some people shouldn't be raising the voltage on their cards, subsequently these are these are the people that are incapable of volt modding on their own. EVGA is digging a deep grave for RMA's by releasing this kind of functionality to the general public. ( like the guy who says 1.063 to 1.263 is only a small amount of voltage :rolleyes:)
Oh ----- My ----- God..............
EVGA You just owned all others with that move...Dayyyyyyyyyam!!!!!!! That rules man. That seriously rules. We got a full OC'ing suite for these things now. It's time to go kick some butt! Screw kicking butts...some heads may roll after this move.
EVGA! YOU ROCK!!! :yepp:
i'm sure they have rules for this :P they wouldn't blindly release this without thinking about that.Quote:

Precision is Rivatuner, I hope you know that.Quote:

I'm really liking this utility, something that should be possible to use for any card. NvTools any1? :p That's my first thought when seeing AtiTools in the screenshot next to that app. :p:
They have capped the voltage at a reasonably safe level of 1.35v so that nubs who don't understand anything about volt modding cant fry their cards.There are so many people out there who don't know a mosfet from a capacitor asking for help volt modding, when they do not posses the skills/knowledge to do so, and many attempts consequently end in disaster. At least this software method is a little more 'nub proof' and may actually decrease RMA's due to the aforementioned kinds of people breaking cards.
Yep, it's not gonna allow Silly voltage. At least I hope not. Surely they are not gonna allow that. For those that want to go higher they'll do the regular volt mods. He showed an Xtreme jump in shader clocks with a 295 which is pretty impressive consider the GPU's are stacked right on top of each other, and he did it on air.
I'm gonan try it on my GTX280, but I've heard it doesn;t do much for the shaders. Maybe I'll get a bit out of them though, and will get some out of the ememory and the GPU when I get my water on there next week.
Now excuse me, because I feel the need to go blow some stuff up. I think I'm gonna choose Fallout 3 tonight. :yepp:
Lookos great. Make's voltage mods useless
I am sure they are going to limit it to voltages that are safe. Most cards have a OCP or OVP limit as well which will help to protect the cards as well.
Not really, they'll limit it to voltages that stock coolers *should* be able to handle.Quote:

Either way :clap: @ eVGA
So when is this going to be available? I'd really like to get my hands on it sooner rather than later. :)
Does anyone know if increasing the voltage will have an effect on the shader clocks? My card is not limited on the core at all, but on the shaders. My card is extremely weak on the shaders and can only do 1350mhz max before I artifact in anything really stressful. This limits my max core speed to 675 as you cannot set the core speed to anything over half of what the shaders are clocked at. Increased vcore is useless to me if my shaders still won't budge.
man 1350 is low on your card i got same card and 1500 shader is easy good luck man with that.:up:Quote:

Those large chips like it cool, and at higher densities (65nm, then 55nm) it's even more important to keep it cool to reduce power leakage, so that you also save electricity.
Wow, I'm surprised that eVGA has the balls to do this!! I mean, stock cooling on GTX 280's usually reached 85 degrees and some cards had cooling issues with reaching 105 C. I'm guessing that this issue only belonged to the earliest batch of cards during the first few weeks, perhaps because of faulty heatpipes or something.
I loved this feature with my X1900XTX, and was disappointed to find this software voltage tweak disabled on 3870 and 4870 cards that certainly had greater headroom for voltage increases with their stock coolers. The cooler on the X1900XTX could barely keep it cool enough at default voltage--now it just doesnt make sense how ATI isnt allowing 3870/4870 owners to increase voltage..... :confused:
The 285 is now looking that much more tempting. Would it be possible to fit my Accelero Xtreme 8800 on the GT200 cards?
