that looks really tasty - 1.55+ Vgpu is nice, I often had problems on reference cards with 1.45+, this one seems to be prepared for more juice. cool! I also like the tool.

Got to love the true engineer-touch on SOC Tuner. Nice work from both Gigabyte and you Andre!

I like this thread very much: no chitchat, no big words, just one screenshot.

The tool looks pretty awesome as well: nothing extra-peculiar - just what we need.

Hey Andre thanks for sharing! Any word on how long till it hit's retail? After MSI's failed Lightning launch the market is ready for a proper 1400/1400 card.

Andre is there a problem with the cards efficiency?
I am asking cause in the second GPU test 69 FPS for these clocks are kind of low..
Sampa with much lower clocks had ~70FPS...

No problem with the cards efficiency - just as usual Andre's efficiency ;) :D :p:

Judging from Hipro's and my GPU scores in Vantage the SOC is not lacking in any shape or form

I think I push memory too high. It will effect GT2 bug low or ASUS mobos always have 1~2 fps higher than any mobos. We need to figure it out.

Nice card, GBT has come a long way with it's graphics solutions. Let's hope the retail versions will be up to the challenge.

Very impressive both GPU and VRAM clocks wise (different VRAM ICs on this card?).
Great stuff! :up:
