Codename Nux - Specs, Pictures and more.

You guys...if an ATI card is defective, that doesn't mean at all that ATI is a bad company...what about the failing 8800GTs, or the whining cards like some 200 series, the 400 series with its 90+ temps, etc...ati similarly had its own issues...heat issues (even at idle) with the 4xxx series, furmark killing some cards...but the 5xxx and 6xxx were very stable and a huge success for ati after it had filled most of the gaps in the graphics markets with astonishing prices and competed with each and every nvidia card except the gtx 580 (it came pretty close though). And don't forget the price difference between the 6970 and the 580. Crossfire is catching up to sli, eyefinity kills triple monitor with nvidia, the 6990 wiped the floor with the 590. Ati managed to steal a good share of the market from nvidia with its last 2 series. Drivers are becoming much more robust and stable, ati is releasing drivers once or twice per month, nvidia? Pfft, every 3 months maybe?? Then again it took nvidia 2-3 YEARS to realize that it had problems with HDTV overscanning and has just recently fixed the issue with its quarter yearly driver updates...

xterm listen to me and listen good, i dont know if you already know this or done this already, but...
This set of rams is designed for x58 boards, and if noone believes me any ram manufacturer will not sell ODD number of ram to a chipset that sports dual channel. This is why its 12g so its 3x4g of sticks...

Anyway my main point is this, these ram run at 1.65v (dram voltage). Sandybridge CANNOT tolerate these volts, tolerate =/= handle oh it can handle them quit well. But you should drop the volts to 1.6 to 1.5v even.
You will loose speed or latency, but you will not damage/degrade your IMC (integrated memory controler) in your cpu.

To add to what yasamoka said, people stop being narrow minded!!! AMD/ati doesnot suck anymoe they have the price/performance crown hands down. Te cheapest quad core is the athelon x4 and its better than most quad cores from intel q8xxx series and q9xxx series ,with a few exceptions.

Also deivers are really getting better, AMD cards scale better than nvidia cards. Also to let you grasp this fact a bit is this, apple macbook will all feature ati cards, both ps4 and xbox 720 will feature amd cards, NOT nvidia!.

Also AMD's upcoming buldozer will narrow the gap even more so the price/performance ratio will be better.
If i come across an AMD platform ill benchmark them for you guys and we will all see what is true. The days of amd/ati suck are over since the 4xxx series and the 1st generation of PHENOME (deneb) cpus.

yes, but in some application intel runs better, and most games are being optimized to nvidia more, but yeah i agree amd has the price=performance thing, one more thing, amd recently reduced image quality in its drivers to gain 10% speed boost,i can't remember exactly which quality they reduced, but they did it, you can find an article of you google it and see the comparison between nvidia and amd...though, its not noticeable that much
