I suspect that the switch has something to do with power,ie, switching off the power limiter unless of course it is some sort of Turbo Boost switch.
It turns it intio a gtx580?

No lol Would be kind of cool though, a transformer so to speak Andy
It's quite funny seeing all these guesses but you will find out in the next few days
Suprised no one has guessed it though.
Andy
Does it have set positions (High, Med, Low or On/Off) or is it like a dimmer switch that can be set to any degree within the range?
I'm always happy with all new AMD cards that top performance of their last one
Andy
are you happy ?..............the million dollar question that breaks no rules !!! andy are you happy ? ? yes or no
I feel quite happy yes
Though i am benchmarking a GTX 580 now so im bound to be happy Andy
ok thining about this switch methodically.
it wouldn't be a switch for what outputs to use, because surely that would be on the output panel.
its position would indicate something to do with the crossfire fingers.
its not going to be for power regulation because didn't they say that the tdp adjustment(overclocking) would be from the control panel (drivers
having a switch that turns of portions of the core, stupid idea, considering how complicated these gpus are is there really going to be a cheap little click switch to turn bits on or off.
no I'm sticking with it being something to do with crossfire.
maybe it allow you to pair up like cards in one position or unlike cards in the other, like a 6970 and a 6950. but then that would be stupid as they would just have it enabled all the time.
no idea we will have to wait and see.

So it doesn't beat a 580, but it's going to be great value performance, and is a fair bit better than the previous gen
That's my stab at cold reading forum posts anyways lol
