The Fermi Thread - Part 3

And what about HD 4850 with 120° on Furmak ? Too hot ?

It's OK because it's ATI, not Nvidia. It's also OK that eventually, the VRMs on that card will pop when running Furmark. Again, because it isn't nvidia.

The VRMs don't pop. The card simply crashes and goes into a protection mode, because furmark (or was it OCCT?) was causing the OCP to kick in. Still a design flaw, but it only affected benchers and people running stresstests. Wasn't causing any problems for real games. Still a serious and bad problem though

I haven't heard of any cards hitting 120C though

I have seen the case with a HD 4850 Sapphire classic 2 slots cooler on a bad ventilated mid-ATX case with Furmark. Really massive heat

the card is designed to withstand 120°C operating temperatures - W1zzard

Then the Nvidia cards are designed to withstand whatever temperature they operate at (and 80-90c load is not uncommon at all for GPUs!)

Oh the VRMs on the HD4870 certainly did hit that temp, they even surpassed that.

And depinding on the cooling also the coor could reach ~75-80°C.

Charlies claims are as always just that: claims.

It will be boring compared to Fermi. No mock card to make fun of. Will not be 6+ months late, wood screws. etc etc . Gonna miss the Twitter leaks Leaks will probably come 2 months before release something like this

QFT. 99% of NVidia haters aren't even sure why they hate the company.
