They do. and have. It sells more new gen cards.
But that's not a discussion for here.

Thought I saw a post yesterday latest afterburner now has voltage unlocked?

Us normal overclockers wouldn't be affected by the 1.25v limit anyway. Not taking away from the fact that it is a problem for those using LN2, but I mean it's not something 99% of people really need to think about.
The fact that the same OC is being reached on all cards is interesting for sure. Seems like everyone moaning about the 1x8pin connector had nothing to moan about at all.
True. I am going to let the dust settle. It might be cheapest single 8 pin card to put a waterblock on may be the way to go.
Soldato
it seems above 1.25v it locks the card , highest anyone has under LN2 is 2300mhz

So it wasn't the 8 pin limiting it after all?
This card needs a good O/C to make it a viable TX/Ti upgrade. Hope they don't do something silly like this with the 1080ti

Uh huh. Pass the tin foil hat when you're done
Are you having a laugh? It's been well documented, discussed and proved.

No it hasn't, the only thing that's been proved is nVidia drop optimisation for older cards, not purposefully gimp them.
When the 970/980 came out the 970 was the "sensible" buy - some were £260 and not far from 980 performance. This time round I'm not sure the 1070 is such an obvious upgrade for the 970 if they start at £350 with new AMD models and with the 1080 to 970 performance jump being quite a bit larger. Some open cooler 1080 are at £550 which might not be that far behind £650 models.

after reading the MSI review and seeing how it struggles to go over 2ghz I'm seriously thinking whether I can be bothered waiting 2 weeks for my FTW to arrive or just bite to bullet and buy a reference card :/
Caporegime
No he isn't and stop trolling!
I don't get this... it's like buying a Ferrari to go 70mph on a racetrack. Why limit yourself?
Where? The link posted earlier with benchmarks from 10 drivers on 780ti showed a small improvement with every driver except one dip.
Okay there were no 5 to 10% leaps after the first three or four drivers but that's expected.
What happens is the newer cards get the 5-10% leaps.
Soldato
I am NOT trolling. I've read countless article and watched countless videos that go into thorough detail that show Nvidia purposefully gimp their drivers on older generation cards to increase sales of their new cards.
All I said was the 1070 s a better buy than a 980Ti because Maxwell might be gimped down the line. I STAND BY THIS SOUND ADVICE.
Plenty in here about it for one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7fA_JC_R5s

A lie of omission is still a lie is it not.
There are loads of videos online that we are ruled by reptillians and that they have underground bases as well. My opinion is the most likely explanation is that Nvidia do not do it on purpose, they might, but I think they probably don't. Most likely explanation is they optimize new cards and do not put much effort into older generations.

So has many other conspiracies. Doesn't mean they're actually true. You shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet.

I'm thinking the same...
