  1. I honestly think, NVIDIA shouldn´t recall or rebate! Everyone who bought it intentionally did it because of reviews from sources like LTT, and just because a few numbers in the datasheet are wrong, doesn´t change a anything! The benchmark results will not change just because we now know that the numbers are wrong! And everyone who "just bought a PC" that has an GTX970 built into it, will not care anyways... maybe, never even know that this happened! Everyone who bought the GTX970 just because it had written on it "64 ROPS, 2048 L2 cache", and didn´t do the homework to check how the card performs, is dumb anyways! KR sTITh
  2. no, the idea is to keep the space around the memory warmer than the area around the GPU. normally, working with LN2, you have to put gum-like material all over the place, to protect your circuit from shorting out due to condensation. That video were for marketing, not to make a true bench-session with LN2. And to show the effect of this new feature, they let the water condense and freeze, and than melt again, directly on the card.
  3. best Thing about the One m8 is defenitly the Unibody
  4. Gigabyte impressed me right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RTkNJDMzug
  5. First off, let me explain why I think that way. 2009 at the IDF, Intel presented "Light Peak", I were excited, I thought that this new Interface will be awesome, I mean, Intel is bringing it to market. With one cable made out of just four fibers (two per direction, expected 10Gb/s per fiber) you could get more data-throughput than a PCI-E 2.0 x4 (~2GB/s). With just two cables you could run an external GPU just fine. This would not be necessairy for desktops, yes, but imagine how versatile your Laptop could be. While you are on the go you could have a slim Laptop with more than enough horsepower for little games such as farmville or just a bit of office-works. But, when you get home to your desk, you would only need to plug in the powercord, and two Light-Peak-Cables, and booom, your 24" 1080p Display is running from the GTX570, your mouse/keyboard, your soundsystem, Ethernet-Cable and everything else would be connected from the external device just a bit bigger than the graphics-card itself. It could also contain a internal HDD or such things. Yeah big expectations back in 2009-2011 :D . BUT NO, look what Intel has done :mellow: :angry: . Instead of bringing us this great piece of technology, they collaborate with Apple, make a fucking active-copper-cable for 30-50 Bucks with just 2m (6,5ft) in length and the lame excuse that optic-fibers are to expansive, only running with 10Gbps (instead of 20Gbps with four fibers). Until now, 2014, Intel did not have the guts to bring us this great technology. I still think that optic-fibers are the way to go in the future, we reached the limits of copper-cables, I mean look how thick an 15m (49ft) HDMI-Cable is, nearly a centimeter (~3/8in), a optic-cable could be 100m (328ft) long and still be thinner than an unshielded CAT-5-cable at 10-20 times the speed. I hope I could show you why I think that way, thanks for reading. p.s.: Sorry if I made a view mistakes, I am not native English, I hope it wasn´t a pain in the ass to read.
  6. no, its more about the material which is transfering the heat from the CPU to the cooling-medium, where normal Waterblocks have micro tunnels cut into a full block of copper, this new design has pores through which the water flows.
  7. Hey, I am using a Samsung 830 256GB SSD as my main Drive, its pretty fast, and for me, future proof. For now it runs just at Sata 2 speeds, because I do not have a Sata 3 Port at my Intel H55 board. Besides of that i am useing an 64 GB SSD from Kinston, witch was my Boot drive before I upgraded to the Samsung. Now its just my Temp-Drive, with my Pagefile.sys of it. I just bought it because i really wantet an SSD, back then when it was 2$/GB (2€/GB for me) I too have Some HDD´s in my System: 1st) a 750GB I believe its a Seagate, but its the oldest component in my System 2nd) 3 WD-Green 2TB Drives in a really unsafe Config, just as JBOD addet as One Volume. First I just bought One to have enought Storage, but than I startet Backing up my BluRay´s, and Games on the Drive. Then I had to upgrade and bought another two, but I really want a NAS with RAID 5. As my external HDD I use a Seagate xtreme Freeagent 1,5TB. Back than I bought it because of the FireWire Port, but now I love it because of eSata.
