Re: Proposed Mother of All Builds (MOAB)Maybe, but got burned by bad drivers and inconsistent UI with ATI AM I a fanboy if I just don't consider AIT to be in existence? Intel and Nvidia make some fine products and when intel gets a GPU to the level of the titan then I'll consider not using nvidia MAYBE. |

Eh, I've said it before, but both companies have their share of (past and present) driver problems or hardware design issues, at times. They're fairly equal, and up until Titan, AMD wore the power king crown. I've not been impressed by the OC potential of the 600 series. It remains to be see how well Titan scales down to a ~$400 GPU capable of tangling with the 7970. |

Based on what I'd read I'd consider the Titan in the same place as the GTX585 was but for the 600 and with a cool name.
IE we're still not on the 700's yet. |

Except that it has a $200 premium attached to it, and really only for being able to boast owning the single most powerful card in existence. Two 7970s blow it away on EVERYTHING except power/heat/noise. And for $200 less (or cheaper). It's nothing but a refined wimp in comparison. PowerColor 7970 - $377 (w/free shipping): » www.superbiiz.com/detail ··· 3V3&c=CJAnd based on my personal experience, I can vouch for the ridiculous OC potential the 7970s have. Even pushing 1220mhz, my card is running out of power (with a +10% voltage bump) before it is getting warm, it maxes out at 72 C. |

Buying the "best" is always going to have a premium
And nether nvidia or AIT care about OC potential. |

said by DarkLogix:And nether nvidia or AIT care about OC potential. I'm a little confused by your statement. It's rare to find the enthusiast rich enough to drop $500 to $1000 on an aftermarket GPU and not care about how well it overclocks. I would venture to guess that the super-uber-rich-but-non-technical gamer market is smaller than the rich enthusiast market, but I could be wrong. Could we stop calling it AIT or ATI? It's AMD, and has been for a while. |

The enthusiast does care about OC, Nvidia and ATI don't.
to them if the consumer can OC fine but they aren't going to rework their process to have higher OC yields.
Now the card assemblers (EVGA for example) do care about OC. |

Anandtech review of the mobo I used: » www.anandtech.com/show/6 ··· g-reviewhighlight: Overclocking results some of the best we have seen on Z77, easily hitting a massive 5.0 GHz with our review sample without issues, and seemingly would go beyond this given a better cooling environment. ASUS is increasing the levels of manual overclock options in the BIOS, with CPU Level UP giving three different speeds to choose as well as a Gamer OC mode. BIOS options for overclocking, as always with ASUS, are top notch, and we were able to push our RAM harder and further with our CPU in the MVF than in any other Z77 motherboard. |
