Nvidia GTX 480 under LN2, with stock volts!!!

Yeah, I know, this is terribly lame. No soft cand control the CHL8366 yet, and I have no clue which pin is the feedback one, so no vMods for now. Just some stock clocks under LN2, in a very, very quick test. Once vMods are done, aiming for >1100MHz.

Sorry for the big clumsy pics.

• Intel Core i7980X @ 5500MHz
• 3x2GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 2000 CL8
• EVGA X58 SLi Classified
• Nvidia GTX 480 @ 900/1050/1800 MHz

With Vmods and... a "cold" mod the card flies at 1150MHz+ GPU... and I'm quite sure that we'll see 1250MHz GPU soon ( just need to find a good card ).

Nice! Those are still ok runs, even without mods.

I think keeping that metal plate (HS) is not that good idea, like we can see from the picture.

good tests monstru! definitly this cards needs vmodding to catch up with the latest special 5870 editions...
I am quite dissappointed about the Vantage performance, hopefully a new driver can improve something there. for 05 and 06 it looks like a good card.
and let me guess - it eats LN2 like we drink beer, or? :D

hen you have found better than the 5870 or 5850?

06 looks pretty strong...nice work.:up:

Asus has SW voltage control according to the box...I wonder how it will do? :)

Hmm....
Can it really be that the feeeeermi is weaker then HD4870X2?
The 2003 is alot higher on single HD4870x2, daaaamn

I bet the card has an extra IC that can perform on-the-fly read/write to the VID settings of the controller.

Nice run! Guess you couldn't wait like some of us, haha! :D

1250MHz GTX480 could pull some interesting numbers.

Nice run(s) Monstru, thanks for sharing.

I'm concerned with the mods this thing is going to need to shine though. Mainly because the real ones never get released.

Oooh, where's George? I can't wait for the vmods :p:

can you actually get that hyperx to its stated speed, as i have some hyperx 2000mhz and it just won't do 2000mhz

i think its that not bad at all really,even 03 i cant believe it could run almost as fast as the ati cards on "cheater drivers" which everyone knows are always better then the nv 03 drivers.

that back plate thing i think has to go for sub zero thuo too much water gets on it.

i wish you much luck in the coming weeks with the, card give it heck

MSI as well.. I wonder what will happen with the Vmodded, I guess I'll hold off judgement for those cards since the reference cards aren't really super impressive yet.

Ok that's nice and all, but where the f@%# is 01?? :slapass: :D

Nice. The 480 could be very promising on unlocked voltage.

And Aquamark??!! Haha! :D

Nice work, looks good for stock voltage. What was the CB?

Mods are out there always for anything, wandering bee finds the honey, the honey doesn't come to the bee.

Thx for sharing !

Good job, we wait for Voltys mods ;)

Woa, nice numbers Monstru!

I have some questions. Have you test some stock cooling OC? And, have you been able to test some better air coolers with the card? Maybe some ArticCooling or a Scythe will possibly fit into it.

Anyway, great job and hope you answer the questions ^^

volt mods would be really interesting to see what it could pump out then ... cant wait to see those :up:

bro, you tested 01 ?

sweet job!:up: With more mature drivers and some nice vmods of course, these things could fly.

Why keep the metal plate on? i know it's the heatsink for everything but the gpu, but in the closeup pic of it, there is a ton of condesation forming on it...i would be worried about that. Did you insulate under it?:confused:
