Kingston does not manufacture memory chips... Kingston manufactures MODULES from 3rd parties chips............
just from this detail this smells of scam.
just from this detail this smells of scam.
Im just curious how someone can call this a scam when the op never touches anyones funds until product is in their hands and inspected, am I missing something here? And why can't NVIDIA have needed memory modules? I don't think anyone specified memory chips or not.
I'd like to see GPUs with memory modules. And with full-blown BIOS, since we are in a fairy tale.
Oh, and some external PSU ofc. And maybe socketed GPU core. So we can just change them, when cores become obsolete.
Would be awesome ; )
Easy to expand, change timings etc ; )
If that's the case, I'm changing my order to 1002.
I cant claim to know about the internal workings of a gpu so thank you for providing that. Ill be sitting down with the OP in a few hours and will discuss this concern in person, and get back to you as soon as possible on the details.
A quick online search had led me to this article https://www.[Suspicious link removed]s/www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/gtx-1070-micron-memory%3famp Which talked about different memory modules being used in the cards, but that is all I was going off I def cant claim to know for sure
***edit: I cant post the link but here is a snippet of what the page was talking about....
"Original story, October 6, 2016: Some of the latest GTX 1070 cards have been fitted with Micron GDDR5 instead of the original Samsung modules, and some users have been reporting issues when pushing the cards to the limits.
The first flush of Nvidias GTX 1070 graphics cards were released using Samsungs GDDR5 memory modules for their VRAM. They were picked because they could nail the 8,000MHz effective memory speeds without breaking a sweat. It was also the first time that such high performance memory modules were used in reference graphics card designs.
In order to keep up with demand for the popular second-tier Pascal card though manufacturers have started sourcing memory modules from Micron as well. A report from Sweclockers, however, states that some users have started experiencing graphical issues with their new GTX 1070 cards because of the memory switch."
