1st off, I am learning as I go, I understand a lot of the principles but lack the experience with PC building.
Am looking at buying a 270 or 270x, as I understand it essentially the hardware is the same, just the x runs a bit faster.
1) So im interested in buying the standard 270 and clocking it to just run at the same speed as the x, I guess this should be as close to 100% safe as you can go?
2) How reliable are GPU's? Cos I guess clocking it will invalidate your warranty, but is this really a problem? And if there was a problem would the manufacturer even be able to tell? Especially if you havnt played with voltages etc. to cause the damage yourself?
I apologise if any of this is a bit duh..... Thanks for your time o/
