Just bought my 2nd Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980 card tonight at my local Microcenter and I get home and I check the box and it says rev. 1.0. God.. I cant believe I forgot to check the box as I knew I had the newest rev 1.1 card from the same store 22 days sooner.
Honestly was distracted in the store and didn't get my hands on the card till at the checkout counter. Totally thought of it before I went.
So of course I had to use the card even though since I had the pc case all wired up and ready for the new card.
Seems to run fine so far in BF4 and Shadow of Mordor.. Fast and no lockups or errors.
Did notice what I was afraid of though is that of course there both using different bios and the voltages are different between the 2.
The older rev 1.0 uses more voltage. I'm sure that would play a roll at messing up any future overclocking.
Honestly figured all the cards they would have would be the newest rev 1.1.
So how important is it that they match? If I do get both rev 1.1 will the cards have equal voltage at giving clocks or is that card dependent? I know when I had my quad 7970s the cards had different voltages on load.
Also the original rev 1.1 has a ASIC of 76.3% while the new card Rev 1.0 has 71.2.
So something to worry about it or not?
