Evga 960 master/slave switch usage ??

[Polivios]

I was wondering what is the slave /master switch's role on gpus. Especially on my 960 ftw. I have yet to find a clear answer.
thanks!

For some odd reason, Evga names that switch slave/master on the back of the backplate. It is actually a Quick Switch Dual BIOS designed to switch between the card's dual BIOSs. I have the 960 FTW also, and it has the same switch: http://static.evga.com/articles/00897/images/features/bios.png

I haven't delved into it too deeply yet. But in one position, the fans only run when the temp exceeds a certain limit.

Unrelated question...
What does Evga Precision (or GPU-Z) show your load clock speed as being?

to be honest im still gathering parts . havent built the pc yet. i will try precision at the end of the month . i will inform you then.

When I first saw that switch, I thought it was a BIOS switch for EUFI to legacy that allowed the new Maxwell GPU-equipped card to work on older boards. But I haven't found verification of that yet.

Well, the sipliest solution i found ,was that the switch is for 0db mode until 50-60 celsius. Please correct me if am wrong !

No, you're not wrong. That was what I meant by my statement that in one position the fans only run when temps rise above a certain value.
