Although Gigabyte have set a maximum limit of 1.4V (from the standard 1.05V) through the GPU, they will be releasing an exclusive version of the BIOS which is completely unlocked and allows up to 1.6V for world record attempts. To get this BIOS, ‘professional overclockers’ will need to make a special written application (which doubles as a ‘we accept the death of the card as an occupational hazard’ disclaimer – cool!).

F that shit

They are full of shit! I guess they try to limit the RMAs. Why not buy the regular card and flash it to the other BIOS?

Guys I suspect this crap will become the norm. Maybe in the future you pay $15-$20 for "special" unlocked software or bios's? Too bad they will sell like five world-wide before it's shared all over the place

This may just be my 480 ..... pending the Lightnings success .......

Effed up how they release the 480 vinnila reference card and everyone buys it. Then release the Non reference OC edition to sell it to the same group of people and it negates the results of the first purchase ....

Seems liek it will soon be common to wait out the hybrid versions on these Global whores .............

Of course if you completely kill it and cant flash back to the nonspecial BIOS your RMA will be declined
