wait.. you implying that i say/show ultra settings but its actually just on high settings ??

its on ultra except no aa and high quality settings thru control panel

@NapalmV5
Oh sorry, I thought you were having it set as "HIGH" inside the game :) I think your setup can do a bit of AA, perhaps 2 x MSAA?

It might not to you but it makes sense to me because you get the best IQ without hurting the FPS (performance). That matters a lot.

Is there any point to flash bios with upped max voltage? how much more core clock there is to get from 1.150mV -> 1.2mV
12-10-2011, 09:48 AM

30-50 MHz max with 1.213V, depends on cooling AIR/Water ...

Is it safe to run a GTX 580 DirectCu II at 1.213V with it's cooler? I know that VRMs are the weak point of 580, but DCII has different ones...
Is it true that OVP is disabled on this cards?
12-13-2011, 09:43 PM
CryptiK

VRM's are the weakpoint of 570's but the 580's seem solid IMO. When you ramp the voltage right up under LN2 sure the DCII's can provide more/cleaner power but at comparatively 'low' voltages of 1.15-1.21v the reference cards should be fine.

Thanks! As I'll have one free moment, I'll test it at 1.21... Any info about OVP disabled in DCII?

Well, I meant that overclockersclub.com review says that "the (580) DirectCU II does not have the hardware and software current limitations imposed on the reference design", but a "series of fuses used as a means to fully protect the core from over current situations"...

When does OVP/OCP kick in on a reference card? Anyone running hard modded at 1.2-1.3v for awhile and could comment?

i tested my cuII for a bench running @ 1,29v cooled with water and temp was not over 45° ;) . card is still alive and had no problems @all, but for 24/7 i would not recommend this voltage, but btw i saw that ekwb had a full cover for this card :rolleyes:

congrats on the results guys amazing cards

do you think that puting mines with full cover blocks will improve OC ? currently they do max 981/4600 at 1,175 more will crash on 3DM11 but on 3DM06 i can go 991 on air reference EVGA GTX580's vid 1.0

I have flashed my BIOS with overclocked speeds and altered the max allowable voltage which both work fine, however I'm having trouble flashing a specific voltage to my card. If I change the P15 state (field 1) voltage to a value other than stock when I boot into windows it will just reflect the stock VID, but if I also change field 0 to the same voltage it will again detect only stock VID on boot but when I hit 'reset' in MSI afterburner, it sets the voltage that I set in BIOS + 0.0125v, so for example I set 1.1505 for fields 1 and 2 and flash, then in windows it detects as 1.088v (stock) under load, then I hit 'reset' in MSI AB and it sets to 1.163v.

Anyone know how to flash a specific P15 state voltage to the card so it detects it on boot switches to it in 3D without the use of any OC software?

EDIT- DW I figured it out.

920c|1840s|2300m @ 1.11v load (DMM) done through BIOS. Might go a bit higher but I was figuring out the BIOS modding part of it first.

Well, thanks, I reached 1Ghz with my DC II with 1,213 (I didn't effort any more); as I'm on air, is it better to manually raise fan speed, or auto is enough? GPU don't go over 65° with auto, but VRMs heatsink and backplate are a little hot. But fan at 100% is sooooo annoying...

wow seems like directu are nice cards but im wondering if its safe to play hours of BF3 every day my opinion is NO unless on water

i dont use AUTO fan as it heats more tune it manual

Short answer no. On air/water they are about as good as any reference card and your chances of getting a gem are no better or worse from what ive seen. They perform better than most on subzero as the beefed up VRM comes into play.

Having some issues with my 3dmark11 bench, looking at other people's on hwbot they are scoring considerably higher for a similar spec'd system.

for example

this guy is scoring 22111 with a considerably lower overclock than mine, what i did notice though was his pixel fillrate was considerably higher than mine.

any input would be most appreciated

Trying to keep that cool would be fun! It might be faster than a GTX590 which are POS that blow power fets when you look at them the wrong way, but faster than 2 GTX580's overclocked? No way. That one's for the fanbois.

+1 NOT faster than 2 GTX580 :)

and i think that with 3 slots is enough crap, its like having a brick inside the PC man, we need better cooling solutions and slim cards, maybe that hughe card cools itselfs but such a big thing blocks air inside for sure

well that aint true, i used on all my cards and that never happened most ppl OC and dont test for stability or do crap with software, i have SLI of GTX580 heavy OC'd and never ever had any freeze on the 20 games i play

either way u can always flash it

its ok, but vgpu 1.2 975/1950/2200 in Bf3 65c looks unreal.

I have msi gtx 580 lighting XE @975/2400(gpu/memory) vgpu 1.181 in bf3 ~ 81c (cooler 75%).

I know I was surprised too, been playing BF3 today at lightning XE clocks 832/1664/2100 at 1.088v and I seldom see a degree above 55c with fan at 50%.
Very pleased with this cards thermals, just doesn't OC like the greatest.

Yeah, DCII cooler is amazing! I'm now running at 1000/2400 with 1.175V. Assassins Creed Revelation (full HD, no AA, all at max) heats it up to 55/60° with auto fanspeed (reaches 28% max).

looks like 50% load on the gpu.

try again with unigine heaven benchmark with 1000 core. my guess is, you wont pass.

my EVGA 580's on SLI open case dont go above 60C with a high ambient temp of 27C and its using 77% of each on BF3 maxed out 1920x1080, i just have a custom fan profile and a fan blowing to them

Hi Guys

I have the MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC card. Great card but i've just have a few issues.
First off, my card gets very hot when playing BF3. My card reaches 92 Celsius easy with fan ramped to 85%

Def clocks is Core 800 and Mem 2048. GPU Voltage is 1025.
I see my cards fan speed only goes up to 85% in MSI Afterburner. Can anyone else with this card confirm?

Link to card:

yeah mate all are like that u have to flash bios and unlock it, in my case EVGA has a fan unlocker tool wich is a flash to the bios...

u have to save your actual bios, and then use bios editor move slide to 100% save and flash the card

cheers !

Ja, i wish i had a block for this card. It gets frikken hot!.

I saved my Bios using GPU-Z. I tried using Nibitor to save bios but it doesn't detect it.
I tried to edit the bios but can't change any sliders?

What app are you guys using to edit bios.

either way u can always flash it

Mate, you were right. With Afterburner kernel mode on I solved all my problems (random hard GPU crash).

Stay away from Asus Smartdoctor or Asus GPU Tweak please!!!

What app are you guys using to edit bios.

After you saved the bios with GPU-Z you have to change the extension from BIN to ROM. After you open the bios with Nibitor you go to tools to change values on clocks and voltages.
You can read this: http://www.overclock.net/t/989627/fe...gtx-4-5-series to better understand how it works.

Need to go into fermi clocks and fermi voltages area. They are domains not voltage settings like old school cards.

I have the DCU2 also. I didnt like the idea of the cooler taking up 3 slots, but after seeing how well it cools, I could care less how many slots it uses. Best air cooler I have used. TR

VERY impressive cooler, Best single card I have ever owned. I have an itch for something red though. TR
