Have you got any other rams to try? Maybe an 8gb or 16gb set?
:)
Very nice single and double card results there people.:up:
yeah i'v tried that still not any better...its just with this bench the other one for this platform vantage runs fine and scores a tad above normal or so.
Still got crappy cpu scores gpu is up abit thuo

i think i will do windows updates i dont think i have sp1 for w7
see if that helps
nice vantage run i seen mrtooshort :D
it seems like AB doesnt keep voltages constant like PrecisionX does. and everytime you restart your system it applies lower voltages. so like i set +35 but when i hit apply it applies +31, and then when i restart it applies +25 and then keeps going lower everytime i restart my com.
Its well documented

Quote:
Applying correct voltage offset (which doesn’t promise correct offset to be applied) is not the only problem, it is also a real problem to READ applied offset back from the PWM. So if you as a user applies one offset THEN restarts Afterburner with a different VID set, some false number can be displayed on the slider instead of correct value.
That makes the current build a more risky to use, but nothing the real overclockers can handle really.
yea but its really annoying that i have to always open up AB to change it to the correct volts i need for stability. or switch to the LN2 BIOS which then increases heat and i dont need 1.21v to be stable. hope they fix it, cause AB and precision X are really the same software.
If you dont need 1.21v to be stable then you should not need anything voltage wise since thats what it is stock. :)
I tested a bios mrtooshort gave
me hope he dont mind me sharing it here (thanks agian)
https://rapidshare.com/#!download|24...rom.zip|55|0|0
It really helped my one card that was not stable at all over 1280 now just tests on air easy 1300
Noticed a few things over the stock DCII OC cards bios besides clocks
1 its 3d voltage is 1.235 and stock is 1.204, it has same 2d .99, low power 3d went from 1.10 to 1.124.
2 You can push it up to your cooling its not flakey after 1.42v like stock dcii oc bios.
3 power limits slider is lowered to 132 but it makes no differance its bios has made changes somewhere to limit what it sees(saves mod to do this)
4 has mods so 3d is almost constaint in some areas of some benches that were not on stock bios,helping in those benchmarks for alittle more fps.
5 It STILL has cb issues -32c it will cycle its low power 3d voltages and 3d voltages if too cold durnig a benchmark so you have to :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:foot it
fclocks and frames go up and down also so its useless to bench like that.
cbb @-40c partys over.
not sure if going colder will help since i only test dice
Anyone else test thier card cold ?
i need 1.175 to be stable at 1320, but my card doesn't go above 1.155 without volt offset. its strange.
i dont see how PrecisionX gives stable voltage sets, and AB doesn't when they are the safe software.

New PB for me:
P13349
3930 5.1ghz, 680 Lightning at 1477
What's the latest word on the unlocked Afterburner? Is +100 (+93 set) all we are going to get without hard mods? Although I'm pretty happy with my results so far I bought the Lightning specifically to unlock it and crank the volts a bit, so in that I am disappointed.
:D
MSI GTX 680 Lightning 3 way SLI, with only a 3960x at 4.7Ghz, will push alot harder then I get my water home !:)

nice run
Now if i could only get pcie 3.0 to run without issues on my x79
On the same mb i get stability issues but was worth a few points in 3d11 even with single card when i tried,other benches not so much differance.
i'll try it agian sometime.
Had a dx9 bench setup today but i dont know what happened

Ηello there!
This is my best score for now...
The card runs at 1324mhz (stock votage 1.175V) and 2600K runs at 5.0ghz...
My gtx680 is a reference card, can i (without hardware mod) go higher than 1,175v in order to reach higher than 1324mhz?

Have vids of bf3 at 1550 on dice will upload soon :D
Last night I found a page describing how to mem hack afterburner and allow higher volts then norm.
Supposedly tested up to 1.5v.
So I guess it's really all down to software limits.
I'll have my 680 lighting on tue's, but it may be a few days before I goto clock it.
Gotta test it 1st to see if it's a keeper (just to see if it's good, not for max clocks).
I think the only legal options are:
Diff style patch for the ab exe.
Or software that can do the same written by someone that isn't a part of some vga card company.
I have to be honest though.
I'll check for max clocks of course, but my tdp in the end, I plan on setting below 100w...
Yeah I plan on downclocking it for perm use... to save power.
I have an ASUS 680 DCII TOP1328 core/3500 mem
i7 2500K@4,7Ghz
I have done the voltmod for Vcore and currently im in a bit of a trouble with VRM cooling (70c @ 1,3v). I have an EK Supreme HF for the core, but is there a VRM block that i can use for the VRM's ? I can mod it if needed be.
Do let us know how it clocks.
:)
Working on using a custom x58 classy mb heatsink on one now just need to dremal and file a few spots then drill new holes.
if it works out ok i will make two and will send you one if you need it.
I just got my 680 lightning.
It's to long to install though, I gotta move my drives down to some diff bays in order to fit it in.
Big card, largest vga card I've ever owned (have had bigger dialup modems though in the past lol).
I think it's really cool that they are putting end caps on all the connectors these days :).
From what I've read, the ln2 bios has a diff volt offset from the norm bios?
Is this true?
Ive read it's 1.215v or something like that.
Cool :).
So if that's the case then you could mod these card's voltage without a hardware mod.
Just a bios flash (not really safer).
Now I wonder if other cards can use the ln2 bios.
But then again if it didn't work that would suck.
I got mine up and running, I didn't check the voltages with a dmm yet.
I ran pcsx2 with it.
Xenosaga 1 and 2 run ok at 4096x4096, a little slow but more then enough to make it playable.
Gran turismo 4 doesn't run at 4096x4096, it does try to run at 2048x2048, runs fine at 1024x1024 though (even faster then my 460se at native res).
Upping my cpu might help too...
Checking out the tdp graph here on gpu-z :).
I got it up to 76%, I've gotten the gpu usage at 99%.
But then I glanced at the memory usage, I was able to use all 2 gigs of vid ram.
That sucks... whatever I guess.
I'm glad I picked the card I did in the end.
I'm also impressed with the power usage of the card.
I'll have to play some pc games and check out the power usage on them, etc etc.
Pretty cool card though.
I got bios ver 80.04.28.00.39.
I've also already dl'ed the v1.1 bios from msi.
And got the copy of the supposed original ln2 bios floating around.
Oh, I'm on driver:
301.42-quadro-tesla-win7-winvista-32bit-international-whql
Custom sli profile stuff loaded instead of the defaults
Edit:
I've gotten the mem up to 3625mhz (7250mhz) so far, no increase of voltage.
Tested with:
Cod mw2, mw3, bo, waw.
SR3, mafia2, sf vs tekken, and 3dmark03.
That's all of tested with so far, I don't expect it to be 100%, but it seems pretty close, I'm probably gonna end up running around 7200mhz mem.
1600+ on the core is ok for bf3 with 1.53v -40c dice cooling :D
I get into the game so much i forget to pack pot and to check temp meter so i had to set sound warning at -1c lol

The night before I had screw up the driver somehow and couldn't set my lod.
Re-installed and afterwards I was able to import my profile again.
I usually remove the nvsvc and whatever else there is from the driver that starts up in windows that's not needed.
I don't know what happened but after removing it the cpl disappeared and the sli profile manager said it was an unsupported driver.
Anyways after fixing that, I went back to testing the card (stresses the card more at -15 lod).
Played skyrim a bit, saw that +625 on the mem was to much after about 10 mins.
600+ seemed fine, but after an hour of playing I went and checked with AB and saw my clocks maxed out at 800mhz mem (it did this once before).
I changed it to 600+ via alt tab and started the game back up, mid game.
So maybe there's some sorta bug or something in AB.
It said my core clocks were low too, but I don't remember the what they were.
I think the way of doing it is set the clock, test it, if fail, restart computer and try again sorta thing.
Because right now I'm not sure if it was running 600+ on the mem that whole time.
I've got the latest aida64, gpu-z, afterburner, and hwinfo32.
And all of them report diff temps and clocks lol.
For example, gpu-z says 1800mhz mem when afterburner says 3600mem (7200).
I guess that makes some sense (now that I'm thinking about it), still it confuses me though lol.
So far, note my cpu isn't clocked up, I've gotten just over 90k on 3dmark03.
Looking that up online it's about half that that some others have gotten.
Some peeps got up to 140k I guess.
Tried installing the avp benchmark, not enough space on C:\, eerrggh lol, I'll have to installing it on my win8 (has 20-30 gig partition).
One neat thing though, on Saints Row 3, in the display.ini I can set lighting = 3 now and it runs fine, looks a little better texture wise.
Almost as good as the dx9 mode now while in dx11, if I use 16x aa that is.
What I kinda mean is it's decent looking enough to play in dx11 mode now :).
Cousin of mine is supposed to pick me up to get some food, it's 5am and I haven't ate since the day before yesterday, stupid little caesars ripped me off yesterday.
This is what my prob is, after testing for a few mins it seems that my clocks go down the drain and aren't recoverable.
What I mean is after this prob sets in i can't change my clocks anymore until I restart windows.
(Forum makes a thumb out of it, you'll have to open in a new page to read it)
Attachment 129607
It appears to run ok for a few mins, then I think I saw a glitch but I'm not sure.
Afterwards it got alot slower, still playable though (skyrim maxxed, no aa and no af).
It would be one thing if the card flipped out on me, like it's supposed to, instead of going to some oddball low clock rates and staying there.
My clocks looks like they get halved...
I'm gonna have to try a lower speed for my mem, that's the only thing I can think of.
This is honestly the weirdest dumbest thing I've ever come across when clocking vga cards.
Maybe it's a feature, I'll have to enable gpu logging to find out.
Your rams are set too high try starting at +300
Run stock just to see where the core boost goes to,around 1200 -1300 is the limit on ref cards
remember the cards do clock down in 2d mode and low power 3d mode,you should test with osd.
3d03 sucks with the card so forget testing with that ,most of gt1 is run in low power 3d mode as do someother fm dx9 benches.
try heaven 3.0 and your dx11 games.
I'm using the osd now, that helps.
So far 575+ for mafia 2.
575+ ? (crashed though, not sure...) sr3.
550+ bf3 (had glitches at 575, had to restart to get rid of them, and afterwards tested up to 550+ and was ok)
Skyrim I think was ok at either 575 or 600 I forget.
I played each for about an hour.
It appears I can clock the mem up to 550+ (7100mhz).
I gotta try some new benchs and try clocking the core and see what that does without increasing voltage.
(Interested in stock voltages 1st)

Damn mate you're so close to 20K. I'm still rocking my old 580 on water. I can get MSI Lightning + block local...........tempting but I've not overclocked in like a year. I forget what speed my cpu even runs at now lol
Hey anyone noticed slower max clocks after 310.70 whql driver update?
I can't go over 1385mhz core and +790 mem offset now, whereas before I could go up to 1422mhz with 1.21v.
I do enjoy kboost though, I like the steady high clocks for benching...(I'm rocking a 670 ftw btw)
How odd...maybe I considered something stable but it wasn't xD
I'm getting crashes over 1385mhz, so meh, that's my max oc it seems.
Anyone tried 'uncorking' their 680?
I only did the custom bios flash thing and I got up to 1.213v as headroom.
Even at -30c i had trouble with 1420 at only 1.21v,out of 4 i had 1 went 1385 for just a bench or two but 1340 was ok for games.
I played some vantage last week testing that tweek was ok
DCII's @1.40ish H70 cooled / 3930k H100 cooled close window added 40c air into the mix :)
Was good for 1437 in sli max temps 59c

hahha cowie you always hitting hard on VGA ;)
grats on that clocks
i can flash mines to get 1400 but too scared to ruin such amazing and no more cards, are beastly binned
i used a multimeter on the factory measure points and at 1,2 they do 1300 / 7600 for gamming so i wonder what they can do with 1,25...
Mine does 1385mhz / 7800mhz for benching, gaming depends, but works best at 1300mhz / 7800mhz with 1.21v
I'm considering selling my ftw locally and grabbing a dcuII just for fun now lol
Going to pick up my MSI Lightning 680 now, ordered an Aqua computer full cover block and it's on it's way :D You're bad influences, all of you!
Will do some air testing first, then when the block arrives will see how it goes under water. I know it wasn't 'needed' but I like low temps are reliability so it will do what I want it to.
Sergio - what vgpu are you at for 1293 MHz stable? What's average for ~1.175v? What about 1.21v? I'm still reading through thread :)
Hmm ok, I was at 1228 mhz @ 1.175 then everything went to :banana::banana::banana::banana: and my screen is filled with crazyness and I can't even see my windows login screen! Back to store for swap out I but tomorrows public holiday :( Have to wait another day.
When it makes it into windows without artifacting like crazy it topped out at 1267 in games @ 1.21v :(
Really weak for a lightning IMO. Thought they binned these things.
Shxt core but good ram +900 game stable on +20mv (still on air) :/

You have two great clockers but alittle more voltage is more fun :D
You might have to flash an older ln2 bios if you card is voltage locked,you must also use ab 2.2.3 since others are of no use to add kepler voltage.
1.36ish should be avalible then.
Happy new benching year you guys
catzilla tiger setting 1500+ core
http://imageshack.us/a/img829/2507/120641515t.jpg
Yeah I was told to use v2.2.3 elsewhere and gave it a go, went over 1300 easy then but still not a great clocker, needs >1.30v for 1320+ core
That said, mem seems strong on this one. Did some testing with kombustor which seems to load mem harder than games, see below stable for over 20mins when I stopped it.
+855 mem (7720 MHz effective) at stock mem voltage. Core needs +18mv (1.25v real @ DMM) for 1254 stable
What's better higher clocking core or higher clocking mem? I though these cards were more mem bandwidth limited and core was less important in terms of actual performance.
http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/a...psfc1abf23.png
Thanks but TBH I'm still kinda disappointed it doesn't have a great core :( 1254 gaming is a great card nah cmon there's guys here over 1300 on stock vcore!

just add some cooling these cards dont start to go unless 1.35 and above,its not out of line to need 1.40+ to run into the 1400's for intensive gaming for hours.
1250.....Yeah thats not the best egg in the bunch but nothing alittle voltage could not fix :)
1.4v for 24/7 using water doesn't sound too far fetched...I'd be curious to see how that works over time though.
You guys are all using Lightnings?
Think cowie has DCII and probably lighning, Sergio has Galaxy SOC, I'm using a lightning
Then i would not
your a gamer you have 680 sli you dont need more fps,plus most unlocked bios(not msi l)will only get you 1.24 .so will 1 more bump in clocks really help much? not really
Since i have quick disconnect i dont run voltage 24/7 i just take off vr after benches
Haha just tested your SOC bios on my lightning, boosts to 1398 loooool instant crash. Expect 1.24v with unlocked BIOS and 1,2125v set
