Christian Ney Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Source in english here: http://www.techpowerup.com/162935/ZOTAC-Working-On-GeForce-GTX-680-with-2-GHz-Core-Clock-Speed.html Speaking at a conference of AIC partners, ZOTAC (China) General Manager Mr. Kwai claimed that his company was working on a "Godly" GeForce GTX 680 non-reference design graphics card, with 2 GHz core clock speed. The card will be designed to demonstrate ZOTAC's engineering potential with non-reference designs. It will be ready by mid-April, 2012. Then again, there could be a catch. ZOTAC China has, in the past, designed certain bleeding-edge graphics cards exclusively for the Chinese market, which never made it to Europe and the US. ZOTAC is an NVIDIA-exclusive brand backed by OEM Goliath PC Partner, which also holds AMD-exclusive brand Sapphire Technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 LN2 Pot as stock cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Machine Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Uhm, that's pushing it. Slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah. That's what we spoke about on CeBIT. Zotac has been releasing extreme cards on the chinese market for a while now, but those never make it to the US or EU. Example: GTX580 GTX560 Ti GTX260 Dual GTS250 Dual GTX460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebanik Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah, have never heard of non-reference design able to push 100% jump in clocks. 200/300/400Mhz at max I say...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 These are realy nice looking PCBs. Shame they don't publish them in europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calathea Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 2Ghz? Just as the Sapphire 7970 Atomic 1335MHz BS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Side-question..... Who has access to these non-ref cards? I would be interested in trying a few I imagine their GTS250 X2 is quite fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've seen a couple here at the bot. Few though ... very few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchZowner Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 2GHz ? Sure. How many tequila shots did they have before saying that ? 1.4GHz with proper cooling & voltage is more than possible. But 2GHz ? Yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oanvoanc Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 maybe they are talking about a dual gpu card and made the mistake to add the GHZ 1+1=2 SOUNDS LEGIT! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I kinda thought that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted March 23, 2012 Crew Share Posted March 23, 2012 lol, seems like it's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBR Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 that was misinterpreted, they are working on 2 GH capable card, but only under LN2 ... default clock will be 1200 MHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 so they 'guarantee' 2GHz clock under LN2 or it is just a marketing prediction based on one super-duper-cherry-binned card ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesjuhdabomb Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Send card back RMA. Reason: Does not reach 2ghz.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 1600+ MHz GPU GTX 580 Classified certified anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
