Its a software measure that NVidia took against those two programs only. The GPU-Z fix is a way to get around that. i do not think it lifts the stock OCP/OVP. I wrote a review on this card, so i looked up all the ICs now i want to OC it. My max OC i did with everything stock no mods, stock bios, was 1.1v 950/2211 on each card and i kept them below 20c.
Hmmm... mine was modded with a BIOS to remove OCP.
EDIT: No it wasn't... no OCP disabled.
really you mind if I can get that BIOS and see if it disabled it for those programs?
The card is packed up and sent to Pizzaman. I'll get it from him if he has it.
EDIT: Attached it!
EDIT2: Unattached it!
oh dear....I didn't realize you where going to post it in public. :rolleyes:

Yeah, didn't even get into the hardware mods. Just standard 1.212V through Afterburner.
lol Gappo... removed it.
Turns out the BIOS was nothing special. Just unlocked voltage and some other jazz. No OCP disabled.
So... that means mine died without OCP disabled, as I didn't do it through GPU-Z.
well not necessarily, i think they still have hardware OCP opposed to software OCP.
Had one die on me as well, what brand was yours?
The one that died on me was EVGA, died after one full vantage run and partial start of 3D 11 (Didn't even get into first test either)
I didn't change anything, all stock. I didn't remove the heatsink because I was sending it right back, but now I wonder if this is what happened to the card I had!
Mine was EVGA and died under similar circumstances. I gave it more voltage, though.
Mines dead as a dodo now also.... Died at stock everything, palit sonic platinum, not even reference...
all those mods and the card dies and another user fried it with furmark after disabling ocp????? oh yeah i think they say that could happen.
i killed two 460 hawks in 2 two days with just software volts....stuff like that happens.
i have two 570's with stock sink and cold temps 1.21v will go all day long @ over 1000.
you guys beat um to death :p:
what brand are they? I have 4 GTX 570's Asus brand no issues. It's 19' outside setting up in garage now to make some runs:DQuote:

In temps like that what helps if using software voltage after a run let it cool quickly at stock volts,you can bang out more consistant runs like that.
Clocks take a beating with 4 cards thuogh...
anyways good luck :)
The cards sure like that weather. I have the window open and i'm freezing. I have one gigabyte and one evga. They're running 1ghz right now in sli.Quote:

theres another 1g 570 rig^
i must have seen more 570's clocked over 1g on cold air then i did see 580's on water.
I think somepeople get gready and blow there stuff up and dont take responsibility for there own actions.
just a rash of ill jugdement not cards being bad.
then explain cards dying without even the removal of the stock heatsink....case in point LSD and gappo...Quote:

cowie, i turned off software OCP and ran furmark and was able to make the card pull 100 more watts than with OCP enabled, my card did not die. i have two Gigabyte GTX 570 which has the same reference design as ASUS and i am guessing EVGA cards. I think nvidia skimped heavily on the VRM with the GTX 570. The GTX 580 has 6 phases the GTX 570 has 4 phases for GPU both cards have 2 extra phases for the memory. 33% reduction in ouput from the phases on a card with 5-10% less TDP is skimping in my book. My card isn't dead though, I am thinking about doing some of those mods, at least the voltage read point and new BIOS.
Asus GTX 570's use the same HSF and cooling as the GTX 580 so that may be why I haven't killed anything yet:shrug:
I was wrong about that BIOS. It doesn't disable OCP. It just allows voltage up to 1.212V and has a custom fan profile.Quote:
