Hello everyone,
I’m looking to buy this card and I’ve noticed that there are 2 revisions of this product.
Rev. 1:
Rev. 2: [url=http://ca.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4692#ov]
When comparing the two revisions on Gigabyte’s website it shows rev. 1 as having Dual Link DVI-I, whereas rev. 2 shows just DVI-I (this seems like a typo as I doubt they would downgrade their I/O).
Another difference is the change from one 6 and one 8 pin power connector on rev. 1 to two 8 pin on rev. 2.
The product descriptions are identical save for rev. 2 stating “8+2 phase VRM power design”, but I have no idea what this means.
I’ve done some searching for opinions but to no avail. Would anyone be able to shed some light on these differences (and possibly any that Gigabyte failed to mention) and any impact they may have?
I'm very interested because currently I only have access to revision 1, but I'm a little suspicious that they've come out with a new revision so soon after releasing the first one, and I don't want to buy a card that had 'issues'.
Much appreciated.
