No more voltage control? What the fuck are these people thinking? That's a complete deal beaker in my book. Period. I'm seriously considering going with AMD this next time. They just need to step up their game a tad more to give Nvidia some real competition. I just read about the stats on the 7990 vs the gtx690. And unfortunately, it falls quite short.

At what resolution? AMD holds an edge in the super-high-rez/multi-GPU efficiency scaling arena, which is what ultimately lead me to go with the 7970. -- If we lose this freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment, those who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.

At what resolution? AMD has been owning the super-high-rez/multi-GPU efficiency scaling crown for quite a while now. They tested both 1080p and 1600p. Not only does it fall short in FPS, it also uses a shit ton more power, and is louder... »hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/···evil-13/ quote: PowerColor's presentation is grand and the bundle is a nice touch, but while performance is exceptional at times, there's no getting round the fact that the Devil 13 is bigger, louder, less efficient and more susceptible to driver inconsistencies than the well-engineered GeForce GTX 690. But yeah, I think I'm going to be going with a 7970 ghz edition in the near future. Because reading about that card, it's stomps the shit out of most the gtx 680's on the market.

No more voltage control? What the fuck are these people thinking? That's a complete deal beaker in my book. Period. Nonsense. You can still do software voltage control on the 600 series. At least you can with EVGA cards. But this explains this thread on the EVGA forum. nVidia has banned voltmodding other than by software.
