TheInq tours eVGA testing facilities
 

The guys told us that the yield for ACS3 cards is around 20 per cent, while Black Pearl is even less than that. EVGA's Team is also putting together different versions of firmware, to be able to achieve more performance and stability. They did not disclose what they actually change, but we feel it might be increasing the memory latencies in order to be able to squeeze higher clock, since graphics chips are less prone to latency issues than CPUs are.
