Evga Voltage Tuner

[Sailindawg]

I just bought a 65nm GTX 260. With this voltmod, it has a slight advantage, IMO.

1. larger process, handles more volts than 55nm

2. higher quality stock HSF and shroud

3. voltera VRM that is programmable for the softmod

4. $190 new

this thing, even with 192 shaders, might be able to perform somewhere between a gtx280 and 285 once i get the core > 800mhz.

I've been using Riva Tuner to adjust voltage on my GTX 260. Running clocks at 706/1501/1306, on 1.15V (up from 1.13V stock),in COD:WAW I'm getting a solid 60 fps with V-sync enabled, all eye candy enabled, run at 19x12 resolution. Other games behave similarly. I also force triple buffering with Riva Tuner. How much more could I get with a GTX 280 or 285?

Just being able to adjust voltage to stabilize clocks helps these 65 nm cards render at the same level of the higher cards. I really don't think that you'll see all that much of an improvement on the higher level cards as compared to the 260's. With this voltage tuner, EVGA just extended the life of the 65nm 260's.
