NVIDIA GTX 595 (picture+Details)

raising the voltage 30% and complaining a component broke... is stupid. that is a huge amount, and depending on what hardware you do that to, you will definitely break some of them.

this is the most power-draining pc expansion card ever produced, to the best of my knowledge. it goes so far beyond everything, you should expect the worst when going beyond spec.

plus, didnt the techpowerup guy do 800mhz at 1.0v? trying 1.2v = greed!

why is it 30%?
default is 0.98 and he went for 1.2v, hows that 30%?
more like 20%... and the 6990 CAN handle this, can it not?

and its not about greed, he wanted to test the power throttling, like he said... he wanted to see when the card throttles, by how much, and if you can measure it... it seems that nvidia rushed the launch, as the review driver didnt have power throttling enabled, and doesnt support quadsli either?

somebody said power throttling doesnt work in the review drivers... but according to nvidia they do, and tpu and others clearly saw the cards throttle in 3d burn tests like furmark... so thats not it... the cards blew because of something else...
