Which one do you have? The 675 cored version? If so, you may want to edit the BIOS so that you can restore the delta back to 50 MHz from 25 MHz. The ROP/Shader is often the limiting item, not the vertex. Mine is now at 60 MHz and it has improved things. I have the regular EVGA 7800 GTX.Quote:

Don't think so...as i've seen peeps flashing xxx bios to xe's.Quote:

This issue can be related to overheating mosfets or overclocking GPU blocks. Check your elements in circuit. Try negative delta. We are trying to find the root cause in our thread on overclockers.ru.
I can say that you should be able to get on your system: ~12.2k mark05 and ~6700 mark06 only with 720/1800.
I have two evga co's and with the 4v mod I can get 640/1800 on either with stock cooling and no ramsinks. each will break 10k on 3dmark05 but when I run them in sli the best I can get is 560/1740. The reason is if I try to approach 600 on the gpu the system hangs or shuts down.
WTF I have a thermaltake 520 watt pure power PS. Its either getting to hot because of sli or power issues?? Im getting the new 7900 gt sli waterblocks that Danger den is coming out with in the next couple weeks and will fix the prob if its heat but Im kinda stumped. What do you guys think? anything I should try to isolate the issue?
Sounds like PSU, the thermaltake 520 watt, like all Tt PSU's is a POS :fact:
VGA: single XFX 7900GT XT (520/1500)@ 660/1740 ---- 1.40 VMod/ Ram (NO Vmod)
DRIVER: 84.21 oficial
CPU: Opty 148@ 2990Mhz
SCORE: 10942
XFX 7900GT XT @660/870 // 1.40v MOD

Dazog: pump your X2 3800 up to 2800mhz if you can. And see the score rise :)
Is it safe to use the 1.4v mod 24h a day with water cooling ? and 1,5v ?
Hey Dazog, just look at mascaras result - almost 11k with one core and a little bit low clocks.... it's realy strange...
jVIDIA, yep 1.4 and 1.55 it's safe for water cooling...
So out of all of these resutls, which is the best SLI set up?
2 gts superclocked or regulars overclocked
2 gtx superclocked regulars overclocked
I want to order today, my superclocks have been on back order for over 2 weeks! Was thinking of getting the regular ones.
Or maybe saving a bundle and getting 2 gts, overclock them
thanks
I'm minding of switching the voltage to 1.7V like Shamino did, but isn'tit too much for a H24 use, i mean with a fan blowing on regulator and RAM and witg GPU under waterchiller.
The gain seems important but i fear somehow the enormous voltage considering the original 1.2V -> 1.7V +41% :(
But consider that the nominal voltage for the GTX is 1.4v and these are the same cores. It's just that the GT's have been starved for voltage to keep the clocks lower then the GTX's.:fact: It is a smaller core though, so maybe keep it at 1.6v to be safe.Quote:

Folks,
D511 + Ground will give 1,4v
D511 + D508 + Ground will give 1,5v
and only D508 + Ground will give 1,3v ???!
and in the 1,5v mod, D511 and D508 must touch each other or they can be separated and connected to the ground individualy ?
11K done with 1,40vMod and only with 670Mhz Core and 870 memory @ opty 148 single core@ 2990mhz:

Those are some killer clocks :slapass: I hope mine does that well, I get it tomorrow so wish me luck.:toast:Quote:

I'll be happy if I can pull 700+ at 1.5v on a $315 video card!:p: I haven't been paying very close attention to the GTX's so I'll just have to take your word for it.:)Quote:

744Mhz @ 1.5V .. WOWQuote:

Look at Shamino's results at www.vr-zone.com. Very similar to yours. But pushing 1.7V he couldn't even get 800Mhz fully stable... ie.. diminishing returns.
D508 alone is +0.1V increase (as stated already multiple times), thus 1.3V for 7900GT.Quote:

A "ground" is a "ground", and all connected to "ground" is also "ground". So, after you connect ground to D508, now D508 is also ground. If you connect D508 to D511, D511 will also be at ground. It doesn't matter how you connect them, as long as you connect those points on the PCB and those points only.
and for future reference, jVIDIA, please read the volt-mod thread first.. save your time, and our time ;)
you are right.Quote:

RE:1.7V - dont be fooled into thinking its just 0.3V over GTX 1.4V. For starters, 1.4V is already at or over the maximum rated for 90nm. No big surprise that compared to 1.2V-1.4V, raising voltage over 1.5V gives very little extra Mhz. Also remember, power and heat do not scale linearly, but approximately quadriatically... ie 1.4V->1.7V = 38% more heat/power! And dont forget all the power regulation circuitry under all that stress. 1.7V certainly not advised for 24/7, but would make good screenshots especially with LN2 ;)
