That BIOS limit on 570s was imposed by Nvidia though, and was specific to GTX570 and GTX580 GPUs.
Not all limits are the same.
Depends on the card. Most are kept. If things are needed for the front page (i.e. monitors for testing, component replacement for test beds, etc), we'll sell them in the classifieds for funding as we get no monetary support form iNet for front page operations. ES cards (I get most of those) can't be sold or even given away, so they're just piling up in my shop. The TITAN we recently reviewed for instance will probably go in my HTPC because of its low power draw....and because it's cool to have a TITAN in an HTPC.
This particular card has replaced the AMD HD 6970 for game/GPU benchmark testing in processor reviews.
I don't think there will be a difference between the two. It is literally the same GPU. If one has the capability, the other does too unless AMD intentionally differentiates them (which I don't think they do).
That shouldn't be able to influence whether they are capable of running DX API.
