The part I'm realy interested in is the new cooling system although we have seen the "two-rear-(and-side)-exhausting-fans-with-a-heatpipe(s)-running-over-CPU-and-GPU-connecting-the-two-fans-system" before (e. g. MacBook Pro Retina, Razer Blade, Asus UX501 and other high performance notebooks). I don't know how precise the image is but it looks like the fans are shaped like hybrids between axial and radial fans (a bit like a fan in a turbo charger). It probably results in higher static preasure allowing for denser heatfins but that is just guessing.

It actually is quite probable that the GPU will be called 990m (according to OP's Sources) but the names "GTX 980 for mobile" or "GTX 980mti" might be possible. Also: the card is supposed to be a substitution for two 980m in Sli

There will be a countermeasure against people who roam permanently or try to buy data plans from other countrys where they are cheaper: "The rules prevent abusive uses: for example, if the customer buys a SIM card in another EU country where domestic prices are lower to use it at home; or if the customer permanently stays abroad with a domestic subscription of his home country. This is not the usual use of roaming as the vast majority of Europeans experience it. These unusual behaviours are also called 'permanent roaming' and could have a negative impact on domestic prices, and ultimately on consumers. This is why there is a fair use safeguard. Once that limit is reached while being abroad, a small basic fee can be charged. This will be much lower than current caps (maximum prices that operators can charge consumers for roaming in the EU) and is likely to decrease even further. The Commission has been mandated to define the details of the fair use limit." -http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-15-5275_en.htm

Ok, I booted from another hard drive on which my brother installed Ubuntu ~2 yrs. ago. Updated everything, installed steam and graphics drivers. CoD MW2 ran fine for the last 30 minutes now... Maybe it was just luck or the problem actually is related to Windows. I will look into the issue again in a couple of days (I will be away from home for a few days). At this point, I like thank you all very much for your help and the time you took for it, I appreciate it very much, without you I wouldn't have gotten there.

That card runs at ~76°C (After 25 min of furmark, room temperature: 22.5°C), also the games crash before the card even gets the chance to heat up...

When turning off the ULPS, enabling unofficial overclocking and then applying a 1 MHz under-/overclock on system startup caused the clocks to stay permanently high at the set speed which meant no artifacts anymore , still the graphics keeps crashing about 5 minutes into a game: sound remains and it seems i can click on things, but the screen turns black. the idea that there may be an issue with certain vram banks is good and it maybe is the actual Problem, is there a tool/stresstest in which you can choose the amount of vram being testet?

I use an old Tagan PSU, it has 460W (if I'm not mistaken) and a 38A 12V Rail, already thought about that being a Problem, but it doesn't seem like it: I already stuck a datalogging Voltmeter to the 6-Pin, Voltage dips a little to ~11,68V at its lowest (which is well in ATX spec of + or - 0.6 V), also no unusual voltage ripple and as said before: in stresstests it works perfectly well.

It worked perfectly and never caused any issues...

A friend of mine recently upgraded his "old" HD 6870 to a new GTX 970. Because the graphics card in my notebook died about two years ago (everything else works perfectly fine), he offered his HD 6870 for me to install in my old 2008 Core Two Duo Machine (I'll only need it to play games like CoD, AoE 3, HoMM 5). There have been many issues with it but after a day of troubleshooting and fixing things I was able to resolve all of them except for one.... Here is my issue: The HD 6870 seems to have a power saving feature which causes it to clock at only 100 MHz Core and 150 MHz Memory (Standard: 900 MHz Core, 1050 MHz Memory). In applications which require only little Graphics horsepower (e. g. a game menu with limited framerate or a FHD Youtube video) the clocks start jumping around wildly. This causes some hideous Artifacts to show up and, if this fluctuation continous on for about 2 minutes everything crashes with a single coloured screen (no Bluescreen). I started to log clocks and framerates and found out that Artifacts always show up, when Memory and Core clocks are asynchronous (e. g. Memory is at 1050 MHz and Core at 100 MHz). This most probably causes the crashes. Browsing or Furmark don't cause crashes as the clocks stay at a constant (low or high) level. Long story short: Is there a way to turn off the power saving features on AMD HD 6XXX graphics cards?

Yep, that's exactly what we needed...

No it isn't necessarily any better, BUT for me it is something very interresting because I have only a notebook and no desktop and I have a 5.1 Soundsystem. An external sondcard is the only option to run that soundsystem and since the one I am running it of right now, is a horrible sounding 25$ thing...

You are probably looking for something a little like the Asus Zenbook UX51 with an updated Gfx card, aren't you? http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-Zenbook-UX51VZ-U500VZ-Notebook.84246.0.html

Oh... I didn't see that before but i'm not interested in buying one anyways. Just saw that they updated their Homepage with the new stuff

I just found this YouTube Video which contains photos of the recent keynote presentation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30h1cBQKA98 The most impressive thing was the hardware inside the new iPone 5s. The new A7 processor has over a Billion Transistors. That's over 2/3 of the amount the intel core i7 4770k has in it, same with the die size. They also claim that the Performance of it, on the cpu and on the gpu side of things, is doubled that of the A6 which already was pretty high end. The iPhone also features the Fingerprint sensor and is available in gold- the rumors where pretty precise.
