Any differance between NA and EU GPU's?

There is a super nice soul that sent me an Inno3D GTX470 from Europe. Are there any issues between an EU and NA card that I should know about before I install it?

 

You got that card sent to you for free? rolleyes

I don't think there is any issues. Just install it and it should work.

Is that hardforum in the background?

 

Overclockers.

I wish I had people that sent me free video cards. Geez.

 

There is no difference between EU and NA it is just a marketing tag.

 

Yes, it was a gift in return for a very small gift from me. Christmas in July!:-Dcelebrate:dancer:hyper Watch for my folding points coming soon to a screen near you.

 

I'm a bad person. I use my cycles for games and not caner cures :-o :-D

 

Here's the new puppy all installed and showing off pushing 12K PPD ATM.:-D The thing runs fairly hot @ stock and the upper %60 fan range @ auto is a tad noisy but what does one want more for free eh?!!!:-D I'll gladly live with it!:major

Too bad I can't get both cards running for now but I'll take the 12K PPD from the 470. No more :bangheadfor tonight. It's Happy Hour!:drink:celebrate:dancer

One thing I forgot to mention is that the 470 is a full inch shorter than the 260.

 

Well, I got some rain on my parade today.:cry My Corsair TX750W ain't got enough oomph for both those cards. Thankfully it didn't do any fireworks etc., it just shut down. That's what one pays for in a quality PSU eh? It doesn't blow everything up!:cloud9

I thought that the 750 was enough for both but I'm wrong. Bleh! Time to start thinking of a 1KW or better and/or getting a second PSU to power my goal of 3 Fermi's in this box.

So, I got the 470 crunching along very nicely thank you very much. Frankie Jr. is just sending out hums ATM.

 

Augie, nice setup! How many PPD are you getting off just the 470? I might be looking at a new video card once I get the deer rifle sorted out. :-D

 

I wonder. I saw one solution was to boost a voltage to 1.35 if one is running more than one GPU. Anyways, good night from here.:wave

 

12K PPD @ stock speeds. However, hot enough to poach an egg at the exhaust. Ouch!

 

One pays for a better warranty as well... Corsair will probably swap that for you if you ask them. It never hurts to have a spare PSU on a shelf.

 

No no Mims, the PSU is working just fine with the 470, Seems like a BIOS voltage needs to be upped before I add the 260 back in. I ain't doin' that tonight either. HIC :wine

 

Well, the TX750 can't cut the mustard as the machine won't even boot now with both cards installed. After doing some research today, I see that I'm woefully underpowered as the cards take 74A whereas the 750 'only' puts out 60A on a single rail.rolleyes I'm quite surprised that both cards even worked the first time!(that's before I loaded them up with work).

Time for some more powah!:strong At least I can transplant the 750 to my Q6600 rig which is just squeaking by with an Antec 500W powering a pair of OC'd 9800GTs.

 

So you'll get two upgrades for the price of one? Not a bad deal...

 

Actually, it will be a triple header as the Antec will go into my AMD X2 rig which is currently just collecting dust and which will be donated locally. Too bad that I gave my 7600GT and 6200TC graphics cards away but I'm sure the agency will find a suitable PCI-E card to match the rig for some young person to make their day.
