IMHO words about "haters" were just a joke, bro
think everyones sure, that it's impossible to create a good prog without feedbacks and bug reports.
Yeah, I suppose the same, but I fear that it's the opposite
If a 980Ti reaches 300, it sounds simply spectacular on pascal (minimum 340 for a 1070 and 420+ for a 1080).. What I like it's efficiency, and I am pretty sure that this comparison it's very interesting regarding that factor. It's pretty clear in the images, considering the frequency and the power limit.
It's not related to the quality of the chip, there's indeed a good amount of work behind it.
My 980Ti was sold, so have no statistic data to imagine. (it was hot)
I'm sure that ASIC quality is important for SP mods (i'm bough some before)
SP says that 970 can show 190 at OC1600, but i'm remember that one of my cards bricks after OC1541 (same origin as my others, but low ASIC)
so today bios OC set to 1506 for all rig to be sure in stability (some old mods can need even less OC case they can show +20% hash and gives -10% profit at high OC)
I'm not a developer, so i'm at a customer position
SP rules are "Trust, buy and see result", instead of Claymores "Pay if you use it".
So i can buy like a lottery ticket from SP (diff systems, drivers, settings, ASICs, etc)
Claymore allow me to be sure in my income and in a time, need to return my investments
Other customers can feel same, thats why it's a lot of doubts in a posts.
It's just my feeling, and it's nothing personal to anyone ;-)
