10% off any GPU @ Newegg

[hmmblah]

Just a heads up (saw this at FM)...

Use promo code EMCZZYR24 for 10% off any GPU at newegg.

That makes a Gigabyte GTX470 $206 after MIR. I seriously want to order this and do SLI.

OK, I'm ordering another 470. Should I get the cheap version or for $40 more get the "Ultra Durable" version that supposedly has better components?

The reviewed model GV-N470UD-13I is a special version that incorporated more durable component which GIGABYTE called it Ultra Durable VGA (UDV). Gigabyte’s UDV board employs high quality components including 2 oz Copper PCB, 1st tier memory, Japanese solid capacitors, ferrite core chokes and lower RDS (on) MOSFET, resulting in 5% - 10% lower GPU temperature, 10%~30% better overclocking capability and 10%~30% less power switching loss.

Has me convinced to get the UD version.

It will be doing more folding than gaming, that's for sure

.

Do you still have to disable SLI when folding and mess with adapters?

Not sure about the SLI thing IIRC you still need to disable it,

i have never used adapters? you mean dummy plugs right ?

Yeah, that's what I meant, the dummy plugs.

Never used them always the -gpu 0 flag(s) and the correct mutiple screen setup
