I'm just being pedantic here tommyboy but that isn't Gregster as an Nvidia guy being on the verge of blowing up his hardware, he went the whole hog and actually did it.

lol @ Tommy, Classic
It was a silly comment to make in pretence.
BM'ing is BM'ing, gaming is gaming two different things one is for pleasure the other resorts to gpu Kamikaze for the hardcore looking for the leaderboard standings.
I want my gpu's to last so I don't kick the **** out of them for the sake of a leaderboard, it's not as if I'm going to top any(even remotely) as there is too many that will(I do know first hand, users on both sides that complete no matter the state it finishes).
Imo, the 290's won't finish BM's on the edge of stability as they will black screen instead of artifacting everywhere where as Nvidia will be disco lighting everywhere and complete.
Whyscotty said his didn't and I'll take his honesty, but his honesty will probably say that his results will be higher than what he would get on air.
Watercooling not being beneficial to higher performance(scores) is like saying smoking crack is good for you.
These threads are beyond ridiculous now, 780/290 performance in game are more or less equal with win some lose some pick your poison and get on with it.

I agree. said the same myself.
These forum Benchmark threads bare no resemblance to normal use.
Why does it worry you so much Tommy? I have had to RMA one GPU in my entire PC life and you keep insisting on giving it a mention. You sound bitter for some reason and the times you chase me down with the same story is frankly pathetic.
How many GPUs have you had to return?

Already stated that my card resembles normal use as I use it for normal use at the clocks posted,
My 670 was used for normal use also at boost clocks for 18 months, Unless your saying gaming is not normal use.
That comment would never have been wrote if amd were at the top of those benchmarks. Next you will be calling people liars with nvidia cards as they all run at much lower cores for 24/7 use!!!
Couldn't give a **** if you push your cards to destruction, bit confused on why you think I do, simply posted up that you killed yours due to your pretence that cards aren't getting tested to destruction.
Returning a gpu because it breaks of its own accord is one thing, modifying it and claiming the warranty after you blatantly blow it up is another, good definition of character/honesty I reckon.
Have you never flashed another BIOS onto your GPU? And stop telling lies please. My GPU failed whilst I was on the desktop, now give it a rest.
Nice try, course I've flashed on a dual bios Amd, they support overclockers, my XFX on the other hand didn't have a switch and was voltage locked-because they didn't want you to tamper, much like Nvidia locking down overclocking.
Besides it's on the other page for all to see:

What a load of rubbish. Do you live on the same planet as the rest of us?
So you think ASUS don't realise what's happened to the card? My dear boy, for someone who has such passion for graphics cards you seem very unsure on what they're about
.Most people with high end GPUs, most importantly on water will have at some point in time had to return a card due to failure of one component or another. You don't have to push something to destruction in order for it to fail. Blimey, you only have to read some of the threads on here to realise that surely
Stop selective quoting and here it is for all to see. Maybe now you will move on.

I am now rocking a 6970, as after benching, I was sat on the desktop just browsing and the computer just shut off. Wouldn't power back on, so grabbed an old 8800GT and no probs but tried again with the Titan and nothing, no power, nadda, zip
Oh well, crap happens
Afraid so
Clear enough?
Everyone can read and decide for themselves greg, yet now I'm selective quoting when I simply left out your cpu clocks which has nothing to do with the 300% bios(that you are selectively omitting) and it blew.
No point being all coy about it, it was you who challenged in regards to effectively destroying their Nvidia gpu in regards to BM'ing despite you doing exactly that.
@Frosty, if Asus or the etailer that sold the card were aware that the bios was changed that effectively let too many volts through a vrm that can't handle that amount of power, you can bet your bottom dollar they would have hunted him, end of, don't try and insult our intelligence by implying contrary.

I don't think anyone (except you) cares in honesty and frankly, I am done with your whinging. I have said my piece on the topic and feel free to carry on with your lies. I will let this thread resume and apologies for OT talk. I just felt the need to defend against blatant BS and lies.
Couldn't care less how many gpus you kill, just don't imply it doesn't happen, or someone like me will point others in the right direction.
BS/whinging and lies, that's laughable to say the least, your just digging a bigger hole, how many times do we need me to put up your own words before it sinks in?
It was only originally highlighted in response to Realdeals words that you said made you laugh, yet here we are.
