Simple idea guys. List what make you have, voltage being used and of course GPU / memory OC results. Also say if you modded the card in any way such as replaced the TIM, removed the IHS etc.
Guess I'll start things off :p:
[*]Brand: KFA / Galaxy
[*]Stock GPU: 700MHz
[*]OC GPU: 875MHz
[*]Stock vRAM speed: 3.7GHz
[*]OC vRAM speed: 4.3GHz
[*]Stock GPU Voltage: 1.012v
[*]OC GPU Voltage: 1.1v
[*]Mods: Replaced TIM, Vibration dampening
IHS will get removed in hopefully the near future ;)
Nobody wants to catalouge which manufacturers GTX460s OC the best? :shakes:
A pair of GTX460 Gigabyte 1GB OC version GPUs will arrive this weekend. I'll help you build the database and use the BIOS posted in the other thread :)
Can confirm one my Galaxy boards handles that exact same clock but with voltage at 1,087. 880 on gpu is not stable for hours.Quote:

[*]Brand: MSI Cyclone
[*]Stock GPU: 726MHz
[*]OC GPU: 940MHz
[*]Stock vRAM speed: assuming this is memory: 900Mhz
[*]OC vRAM speed: 1101Mhz
[*]Stock GPU Voltage: Don't remember
[*]OC GPU Voltage: 1.087
[*]Mods: none
That layout should include a tag for 1GB/768Mb version. Or do they OC the same?
:shocked: Thats one hell of a GPU OC!Quote:

just doing some testing now and with all stock volts etc its happy with everything at 850/1700/1125
fired up crysis warhead with 1920x res all settings at max doing 35fps aver. :up: very nice performance indeed from these little things
Most 460s do about 850 on the core with stock voltage, real shame they don't give much extra with voltage bumps. Must be that pesky IHS ;) You may want to lower your vRAM speed a bit, I can go up to 4.5GHz absolutely stable artifact free, but my FPS starts to go down ever so slightly once I go past 4.3GHz :eh:
Must be nice to to 850 on stock voltage. My cards stock voltage reads 1.000 and I can do about 805-810 crash free. Anything higher and I get lock ups and drop outs. Boo!
Crank it to 1.1v and see how much "catch up" you can do ;)
Yea, one thing I never did was bother with the voltage. I will try eventually, but I preferred to keep voltage at stock and see how high I could get it. the card runs nice and cool now as is, I find from reading the results of others that temps really jump big time with even slight increases in voltage. Im not sure the extra heat and power draw is worth <100mhz at best. I am sure in real world usage I wouldn't even notice it.
Real world difference between say 810 and 870 is actually pretty big, for me the difference of 5FPS or so in Warhead. Well worth the extra power draw IMO ;)
Nvspec81 has bios that allows up to 1.21v also. I wanted to try them since I was already reaching 930 core and temperatures weren't an issue. The only problem is I don't know how to make a bootable USB with Nvflash on it :(:confused:.
Just google usb boot utility ;)
such a difference NEVER is gonna be "pretty big" , simple algebra... 870/810 is not even theoretically 7.5% faster... for benches is fine.. but in order to have a 5fps bump... that means.. u had 67.5fps at 810... and 72.5fps at 870... (which resolution.. this.. can happen...????), even when there is a NEED for better performance, lets say you have a mere 25fps at 810.. u will end up at 26.9 theoretically (in practice less than that..)Quote:

thank God though, that default clock is relatively low.. so the relative bump from 675 is much more (even for 810 final clock) and CAN make a unplayable game at 25fps -> barely playable at 30..
1. Stop coming across as a :banana::banana::banana::banana:.
2. I said for me it was about 5FPS, I wasn't referencing exact numbers, nor did I say I was :rolleyes:
nice supporting your FUDs with this...
nothing more to say...Quote:

Not at all. You are taking rough numbers which I gave from one game and stating it as though I said it was fact, which I did not, and that was made clear. Instead of trying to flame, troll, and antagonise, how about you actually read some posts properly and pick out some actual operative words such as for me (which by definition as you are unclear on it is that individual, it is not universal) and such words as or so. A modern terminology pointing to a ballpark figure, not a accurate figure.
U really beat me up in English language usage... not my native though... the real point(to be subjectively ontopic) is, and i really ENJOY to confront wherever i see(and i read most of nv section, along with this thread) a person so ABSOLUTE to his beliefs... , that you misdlead the ignorant reader making him believe wow.. my mom.. i need to gain these 60mhz... while if you had been more observational you'd see that i bolded only 3 parts of your message/post.. not the 5fps... part.. (i wrote 1st message and 2ndly post.. .cause i think you really want to post a message..., not message a post...). To break this to small chops... "Real world difference between say 810 and 870 is actually pretty big, <-Global statement.. should stand for everyone... according you... ,(comma) , for me the difference of 5FPS or so in Warhead. Well worth the extra power draw IMO <- subjective statement(stands for you at least)... you're right.. i wrongly.. spent big part of my previous message to make more profound WHY your global statement part... is BS.. giving away a simple example based on the subjective part of your message/post, i may not do it again, ill just quote every BS i read.. with bold and thats it..
finally as for your EGO.. there's an nice quote...(dont even know if its native)
"Smart admits his fault.., sly pleads... and idiot insists.."
cya..
Again, quit trolling. I didn't even bother reading your post fully. I'll summarise by saying by your logic its impossible for new drivers to have 13% gains in various titles, yet it does happen. As you are so fixated by numbers shall we look at a couple of nvidia driver releases?
Lets begin.

New in Release 256 Drivers
* Increases performance for GeForce GTX 400 Series GPUs in several PC games. The following are examples of some of the most significant improvements measured with GeForce GTX 480. Results will vary depending on your GPU and system configuration:
o Up to 14% in Aliens vs. Predator (1920x1200 noAA/AF – Tessellation on)
o Up to 4% in Batman: Arkham Asylum (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF PhysX=High)
o Up to 5% in BattleForge (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF – Very High settings)
o Up to 5% in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF)
o Up to 4% in Crysis: Warhead (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF – Enthusiast setting)
o Up to 24% in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (1920x1200 no AA/AF)
o Up to 9% in Far Cry 2 (2560x1600 8xAA/16xAF)

o Up to 7% in Metro 2033 (1920x1200 no AA/16xAF – Tessellation on)
o Up to 40% in Metro 2033 with SLI ((1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF – Tessellation on)
o Up to 8% in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (1920x1200 no AA/AF – Day)
o Up to 110% in Stone Giant with SLI (2650x1600 – Tessellation on, DoF on)
o Up to 6% in The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena (2560x1600 no AA/AF)
o Up to 9% in Unigine: Tropics (2560x1600 no AA/AF – OpenGL)
o Up to 5% in 3DMark Vantage (Performance and Extreme Presets)
o Up to 19% with Transparency AA (1920x1200 4xTrSS – measured in Crysis)
By you're logic, 19% improvement is impossible in Crysis and 25% in JC2 is some kind of voodoo magic, nevermind the fact nVidia are telling people theres further gains in the new drivers. /sarcasm Would you believe it all these improvements are happening for cards at STOCK clocks! :eek: Say whatever you want, people are dying for a good laugh :lol:Quote:

For those curious, I'll do some benching later in Warhead using my modded Quadro 259.12 drivers.
you are indeed... i...t alongside with troll... you invent this BS post -again- to explain something completely different.. the linear performance increase proportional to gpu clock increase vs... driver's perfomance improvements over previous driver... the problem is you have no logic... trying to collerate these, to totally different case... no worries... as i said in previous post... "The smart admits... the idiot insists.. again and again..."Quote:

Difference between 810 core and 875 core: 4.34FPS
Yup, thats pretty much smack on what I was saying of a 5FPS increase.
Dude... you got pwned... Although technically it's <.5 thus should be rounded to 4FPS :P
~Bex
Round off to the nearest whole or half, so if you want to be THAT technical, its 4.5FPS :p: Glad to see somebody else asides from me has logic on their side :D
