delicieuxzWhat? Stop saying crazy stuff. You are nobody to tell people what programs they can or can't run with their GPU. It is NOT the problem that people are running a particular program. The problem is that the GPUs don't have proper cooling, and so running high-intensity programs is particularly risky.
You're right. What he is also omitting is that the other Brands have no specific grief against furmark, and perform pretty well under intense stress. fightinfilipino is just using an old argument thrown away by EVGA at the beginning of the Crisis for everyone to chew on...a clumsy way to reject responsibilities.
The Furmark problem is not just EVGA, but all Nvidia cards. It's well known that Nvidia has warned against Furmark for years. Why? Because you'll never push your GPU to the limit when playing games. Don't blame it on VGA, blame it on Nvidia.
This is a load of *REMOVED* Does the card come with a disclaimer?
How about saying i cant run my CPU 24/7?
If the cooler does its job then it should work around the clock and no matter how hard you push your card. As a last resort it needs to shut down, not burn up!
Saying anything else is just rubbish. And why doesn't the other brands have the issue?
I think EVGA handles this pretty great and all but there is no denying short cuts were taken here. There is no way in hell they did not know about this. This is a company with background and history.
I will continue to buy EVGA due to the good (i think) customer service and upgrade program but i dont like to read people playing down real issues.
if you own a car, doesn't mean you can blast 100mph down a residential street
if you own a house, doesn't mean it's a good idea to fire up a coal BBQ
inside the house
if you own a CPU, doesn't mean it's a good idea to overvolt it, run your cooling at 30%, and then run Prime95 for hours
these are the most absurd posts i have ever seen. no card maker, EVGA or otherwise, is required to create cooling that anticipates that the end user is going to be a nonce and blatantly ignore warnings from
Nvidia. just because you own a thing doesn't mean it's the manufacturer's fault when you do something
patently stupid with it.
good lord, the logic in here is astounding.
