NVIDIA verbietet Voltage Control für Kepler-Karten

Zitat von Whiggy

Naja Graka OC bringt sowieso imho nit wirklich viel.

passt eh, dann machen die leute endlich mal wieder hardmods. hat eh schon jeder verlernt.

"We love to see our chips run faster and we understand that our customers want to squeeze as much performance as possible out of their GPUs. However there is a physical limit to the amount of voltage that can be applied to a GPU before the silicon begins to degrade through electromigration. Essentially, excessive voltages on transistors can over time "evaporate" the metal in a key spot destroying or degrading the performance of the chip. Unfortunately, since the process happens over time it's not always immediately obvious when it's happening. Overvoltaging above our max spec does exactly this. It raises the operating voltage beyond our rated max and can erode the GPU silicon over time."

"In contrast, GPU Boost always keeps the voltage below our max spec, even as it is raising and lowering the voltage dynamically. That way you get great performance and a guaranteed lifetime.

So our policy is pretty simple:

1. We encourage users to go have fun with our GPUs. They are completely guaranteed and will perform great within the predefined limits.

2. We also recommend that our board partners don't build in mechanisms that raise voltages beyond our max spec. We set it as high as possible within long term reliability limits."
