To simplify: Do you think MSI could refuse RMA on their GTX 970 that you linked above (with reference speed 1051, and factory OC 1114), if it fails to achieve stable 1114 ? - if YES : how they defend it legally, since it was officially in specs, and main decision element for most buyers ? -...

If it is stated on official GPU specs page, they must be confident that most of their products would satisfy it, or they would have many RMA requests. If MoBo advertise 4.8 GHz, then MoBo is expected to deliver that clock, unless they specifically state in specs that it is not guaranteed. If it...

That is true, but it is not relevant in this case - both EVGA and ASUS decide which chip to put in which product based on binning. What is relevant here is that article claimed that EVGA GTX 980 Ti FTW is "Faster Than Everything Else except EVGA K|NGP|N", and that is false claim. Even if we go...

1. Thanks for pointing this out, I was not even aware that ASUS have second, slower, 'STRIX' 980 Ti. Although, they are both 'regular' - both named 'STRIX 980 Ti' . Note also that linked Tomshardware article also describe faster card (1216/1316), and calls it '980 Ti STRIX' 2.Yes, I'm talking...

Looks like intentionally misleading ;p I have ASUS 980Ti STRIX, and I have no idea if that is "Faster Than Everything Else", but its lowest quoted speed is same as this EVGA (1291/1190), while its OC preset mode (basically, guaranteed OC speed at 1317/1216) is much faster. In fact, it was also...

You probably misunderstood what Moore's law really says: transistor count in chip/CPU will double every two years or so. You say that law died 10 years ago, and yet if we look at best mainstream CPU from 2004 (Pentium 4 Prescott with 112M transistors) and compare it to best mainstream CPU from...

Speaking of HTTPS, does Tomshardware work on https? https://www.tomshardware.com seems not to work for me.

I have Razer mouse and keyboard. Their hardware is great but their drivers/software is BAD. Not only it is very "in your face" (they feel need to always show you splash screen of razer driver starting on every windows startup - imagine if all 20 drivers decide to do that), it also can not work...

VMplayer supports 3D "passthrough", and allows decent performance for games. BUT it still have drawbacks: 1) performance is slightly lower 2) only support DX9 3) in VM you see generic 3D card (think S3?) instead of NVidia While #2 is still issue even with new "real" passthrough solutions like...

I could guess, based on article, that CBM = Computer Based Math In fact, googling that out turns: http://www.computerbasedmath.org/

************ EA is WRONG ************ But instead of just saying what most people feel, I did some data collecting. 1) check on Steam Hardware survey shows that 74% of PCs have DX10/11 (http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/) 2) I took listing of ALL those cards and compared EVERY one of them...
