The extra shaders, much higher clocks and other tweaks/changes they may have done to the design may be worth it. Has anyone heard anything on power consumption/noise on these cards? Are they louder while taking more power than the 460 or astonishingly the same? What I love about the 460 is it is very quiet and takes next to no power for what it delivers in return.
Looking forward to downloading the 560ti bios and trying it on my 460 DirectCu 1GB.
If anyone got it please let me know of the download link.
Thanks.
+1, Me too.
@gokica
u cannot flash ur direct cu ,it has bigger bios than a referance if u flash it would be a blank screen, but u can recover.
Thank you for the information. I was not aware of this fact. I guess I will have to wait for ASUS ENGTX 560 and hope that its bios will be compatible.Quote:

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out, I've heard the GTX560 uses a identical PCB to the GTX460, does that mean a waterblock for a 460 would fit a 560?
Hey saving through GPUz actually increases bios size ,if possible save it through nvflash in DOS.Quote:

For UK people.
Overclockers just got the 900 Mhz gigabtye in stock for £199.99:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...14&subcat=1341
And Scan have the 880 Mhz MSI for £203:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-m...0mhz-384-cores
Those two are without a doubt, with the exception of the Gigabyte SoC, the best custom designs and coolers you can get on the GTX 560s, and they are also the lowest priced ones!
The actual file size should be 61kb which does work well ,but if u flash this crappy 64kb bios on a 560/460 it will go blank...
I love the cooler on GB OC. I got really surprised to see how good it looks and works. :) It's idling at 28'C very quietly. I didn't have time to test the load temp and noise yet, but it seams to be a great cooler for load too.Quote:

WORKS FINE :)
now lets get to 1300 with these puppies :yepp:
Good, finally somebody did it right. I just downloaded nvflash_5.100.0.1 for DOS to do it, but still didn't get time to make a boot-able USB-stick.Quote:

Got this @1GHz, 1.150v with auto-fan. Still working to unlock the voltage, because this babe is running cool. making boot-able USB in background now, LOL.
http://img.techpowerup.org/110128/Capture016.jpg
i always do dos when flashing but if you have right programe you can try but i would not know anything about flashing in windows.
What vid do you have? mine 1.025. with fan 75% 1030ish was max for benching 03 05 06 and 3d11 @1.137
I forgot to write down ram type/numbers when i changed the paste(was a good job) but so far 1150ish is ok,i try looking for pencil mod point now.
I flshed to this one, and it unlocked the voltage to 1.21v, but messed up my Auto-fan. The fan got stuck at 40% under load.Quote:

You leave fan at auto and it dont work but did you try to set at max or to where you can live with?
hmmm i'll see what can be done ok.
you can try a profile in ab to see if that helps,tbh after 1.15 try to keep it cold

I found this SOC BIOS :
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/9...24.110103.html
It's 61kb, but the file format is *.bin. I can't find any *.rom file-format.
NvFlash operates with *.rom. What kind of flashing-software can use with *.bin format?
You have only to change the file extension manually from bin to rom, and thats it. You can than edit it with NiBiTor 6.0, and flash it with NVFlash 5.100.0.1
I got a MSI Twin Frozr yesterday and spent last night benching it.
I must admit that I'm a little dissapointed.... My card does not scale well with voltage at all. The stock vcore on my card is 1.0125. It will do 940/1125 perfectly stable with this. Adding more voltage really gets me nothing except for heat. I was able to run a few single runs at 1000/1125, with 1.15v, but it gets too hot too fast. Various voltage/core settings in between stock and max end up with questionable stability in 3dmark. I havent seen a core scale this poorly with volts since my 1800+ Palomino!
Now dont get me wrong, the card is fast at 900+ core and is nearly a %100 upgrade over my Oced 260c216. Seeing as how the only recent game I played on the gtx260 that I couldnt max out was metro2033, I really have no reason to complain. I game at 1920x1080. I just saw the maximum value in the 560 with cores clocked over 1000mhz.
The Twin Frozr cooler is dead silent at idle, but starts to get loud (to me) around 55%. I set a custom fan profile to keep it quiet as possible and this works fine at the940core setting. Vantage seems to heat up the core by 4-5C more than 3dm11.
I also replaced the factory TIM, and installed heatsinks on the FETs, so I tried my best to get a 1000+ 24/7 OC (my original goal) but that proved a bit lofty. My card seems more sensitive to temps above 70C than volt hungry. Since this is for my 24/7 gaming rig, silence is my top priority. I was really hoping to get 1000+ core with low noise, but thats not going to happen on this card. Either my core was especially weak, or the Gigabyte SOC cards will be in very short supply...
My question for people landing on 1000+ OCs is at what fan/noise level is this happening at? Can people pass 4-5 vantage runs at said "stability"?
edit: at 940/1880/1125, with cpu in sig, I get P4800 in 3DM11, and roughly P24650 in vantage.
^boy that sucks for you man :shakes:
these clocks all day long if you keep'um cool + volts

@LexDiamonds
I'm also wondering how they are going to get SOC up there with stock voltages. It seams we have to wait a good while for that card. LOL.
I begging to think maybe there is some variations between the OC-headroom of these chips, just like Intel's batch#. But it seams to be big variations on coolers too. My GB OC-900 runs really cool and quiet with max-possible-voltage 1.15v on auto-fan.
It can do 930 at stock, maybe more too, but I didn't try yet. It doesn't scale very good with extra voltage, but it's not too bad. I don't have 3DM11 yet, but it has passed unigine heaven, and I have also been playing my good old
Crysis Warhed too, both @1Ghz, 1.15v with auto-fan in a warm room. Here is a shot after 15min Crysis in a warm room-temp, and it hits max temp 66'C with auto-fan:
http://img.techpowerup.org/110129/Capture021.jpg
@ cowie- what cooling/fan setting are you using for that 1100+ run? Is this with dry ice on the heatsink? What stable clocks can you get with the stock setup and not extreme fan setting?
@sam- nice prelim results for sure, but just looking at the gpu utilization under crysis, I think you are a little premature on your 1ghz OC. I'd be curious if you could run a couple passes of 3dmark vantage at those speeds.
Oh, the "stock" volts on the gigabyte soc are surely much higher.. probably 1.1 or so. I'm just starting to question how many cards are really 24/7 stable at high clocks w/ full GPU load without the fan being an annoyance.
I'm still testing, and that 1Ghz may not be a total stable OC, but I've been playing games and it hasn't crashed on me yet.
The fan on GB-OC is not load at all. You can hear it at top-speed 75%, but it's pretty quiet to be a GPU-fan.
The SOC-BIOS I found says: Voltage: by ASIC (0.9625 V - 1.0500 V) tho. I don't know how they are going to get it up to 1GHz. Maybe they got better a chips? We have to wait and see.

I replaced the tim on my MSI cards to see if I could improve overclocking past 950 Mhz. I forgot to take a screenshot of the results before, but using the same settings and custom fan profile in Afterburner my cards were previously maxing 75 degrees in Kombustor. After the tim replace using MX3, the temps on both cards are maxing out at 69 in the same test:
http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3503/timreplace.png
Thats 6 degrees less, before the driver crashed at 28 mins, but thats only because it isnt loading the cards enough. I never managed to get through the first two Vantage game tests without crashing at 1000 Mhz before, I'll see if I can now after I reach 30+ mins in kombustor. I also chopped 5 degrees off my CPU temps by giving it a dusting and reseat, and got 4200 Mhz stable for 10 mins in Prime, meaning it should be ok for some Vantage + 3D mark runs before I set it back to 4 Ghz for 24/7 use :p
(My CPU is seriously voltage hungry, it needed 1.375v with 100% LLC for 10 mins of stability at 100% load).
Try replacing the tim like I did. I used two horizontal strips of MX3 about 1/4 in from the top and the bottom of the GPU and my temps are down by 5-6 degrees. The problem with the stock tim is that they put far too much on it. It actually comes with MX3 already on, exactly the same stuff as whats in my tube, but with too much of it.Quote:

I dont mean to be Debbie Downer here... I love the 560Ti... just trying to possibly dispell the myth that the majority of boards will reach 1ghz 24/7 or confirm that my chip is particuarily bad. :shrug:
It is a myth. I tried both my cards as the main with SLI disabled. One only reaches 950 Mhz @1025 mV, above that the driver starts crashing. The other reaches 1 Ghz @ 1100 Mv with no problems at all.Quote:

I've passed 30 mins now, and they peaked at 71 degrees compared to peaking and crashing at 75 degrees at 28 mins before the Tim replacement:
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4563/timreplace2.png
I custom set the fans to run at 80% @ 70 degrees, and 100% @ 80 degrees. I'll try vantage next with them at 1 Ghz, I hope they work.
@bhavv-- looking forward to seeing if you can get vantage stable at 1ghz core. You are right to look at GPU load as a key indicator. While games (and even kombustor apparently) only load a gpu at 60-70%, that isnt enough for me to call stable 24/7.
Yeah, that was my thought too after playing a couple of days with this card. That 1.115v makes better scence.Quote:

Stock cooler/auto rpm/stock volt(1.15v load)/23c ambient/warhead – 65c max – 292 watt max
Yeah this card is a great performer at stock speeds too, but it's always fun to get some extra OC. They have pushed these to the limits at stock volts aleready, my GB OC-900Mhz doesn't have much OC-headrooom left at stock voltage, anyways. But it's doing really goog, and over my expectations, even at stock speed.Quote:

Here is a pic of the fan profile I use for the MSI frozr. This is as loud as I care for my vidcard to be... 945mhz is the 24/7 limit for my card at these preferred noise levels. After this, it turns into a total voltage sucking hose-beast.
@bhavv, U having any sucess jumping up the voltage on the 2nd card running @ 950 Mhz @1025 mV ?? Does it help jumping it up to say 1.1 ?
No it doesnt and thats what I find strange. 950 Mhz @ 1025 mV on one card, 1000 Mhz @ 1100 mV on the other are their stable max speeds.Quote:

Whats the max voltage on the 2nd 560??? Have you tryed setting it max and booting up higher? If you did i guess wait for a modded bios..
Im going to wait for the SOC bios for the 950 Mhz versions of these cards and flash using that since 950 is stable.
Do you think I might have a problem with voltage regulation on my second card? Im going to send MSI support a few emails about it to try my luck at getting it replaced, but its fine at stock so I doubt anything will be done about it.
Highly doubt it mate, just wait it out.. im sure a new Vbios will do the fix :)
I got 980 Mhz stable, just with 100% fanspeed:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2662/560980.png
It must be the temps causing the instability then, one card is crapping out at a lower max temp than the other since the temperatures on both are identical.
thats odd cause your first gpu hits 1000 np with 1.1mv but 2nd struggles with 1.1 @ 1000 and runs better with fan speed of 100%... whats your load temps ?
Here's a version of nvflash which works on the GTX560 Ti for the guys who are interested.
http://www.ziddu.com/download/13613217/nvflash.rar.html
For those with MSI cards, we also have to keep in mind that MSI will also be releasing a card in the future at 950core. I would say those like bhavv and myself that run into core limiations at the 940-950ish level are simply recipients of binned cards.
I was doing some more testing today, and I can confirm that adding extra vcore really skyrockets overall power comsumption (even at stock speeds). With this in mind, I have resolved to be happy at 940core @ 1.037v. Not my greatest overclock ever, but I cant justify a waterblock on a $250 card and it is still wicked fast for my gaming res (1920x1080).
Nice bhavv:DQuote:

When MSI release the 950 Mhz version, I'll want that bios to try on my cards to see if it improves them.
I was thinking of selling my weaker one and getting another, but thats rather excessive over just 20 Mhz lol.
980 is fine. They are also stable at 990 Mhz and 1125 mV but I dont really get and gain from that. They crash at 995+ (well, one card does).
I'll just end up flogging these on Ebay when 28 nm comes out anyway.
@sam- I have a kill-a-watt that I will take some scientific readings from tonight. I will post overall system power measured at the wall, while running Kombustor while the GPU has volts of 1.01 thru 1.15. My initial observations were just by watching the output from a power conditioner I run my PC thru. Definite variations in the amperage. I will post more scientific numbers tonight.
@bhavv- flashing a bios really wont gain you anything. All you will find is different stock clocks along with a different vGpu. Unless you wanted to eliminate the "hassle" of running Afterburner/Rivatuner to OC your GPUS. A different bios could also change memory timings, but with the proliferation of cheap GDDR5, I am guessing every gtx560 made will use the 5gbps Samsung chips, thus no changes in mem timings from board to board.
I thought about trying another card as well, but pretty much all manufacturers are wise to the OC ability of the 460/560 and will bin their cards accordingly. I think unless you got lucky, you are going to have to pay up for a guarenteed 1ghz+ OC.
I think that these would all excell at low temps/high volts. Fermi loves watercooling. Not a path I am willing to explore at the 40nm/$250 node however.
Yea I wouldnt watercool these, they arent even hot enough to require it. The temps are fine on air, you just need to get really lucky.
Have you tried setting your fan speeds to 100% just to test if it increases your OC headroom?
Flash bios to MSI SOC 950 Mhz cards. Buy a pair of brand new MSI SOCs @ 950 Mhz. Change the stickers, put old standard OC 880 Mhz cards with the SOC bios into the new cards boxes, Ebay as brand new unused =DQuote:

Yes. I can run single benches at 1ghz no problem with the fan at %100. There is just no way, no how I would run my cards day to day at anything higher than %60 fan speed (under full load). I watercool the rest of my PC so it is very nearly silent. The MSI 560 is already quite a bit louder than my old GTX260.Quote:

I wouldnt ever bother with selling and upgrading to the same thing just for better overclocks, I havnt done it with my volt hungry I7 chip as I'd rather just wait until the next gen and sell and upgrade then.
So your card actually is capable of 1 Ghz, but you run the fan slower than its stock profile, hence your overclocks will be reduced with the higher temps :)Quote:

Looks to perform very well, on par with some of the 570's in some tests, or just a few frames under.
Definately not a reference design. Power circuitry/layout seems to vary widely among OEMS. A GPU only block would be your best bet with an additional fan over the rest of the card.Quote:

hey gaul can you clock them to atleast 900+ and post 3dm11 scores?? Also are these the 2gb editions? If so can you post some some game benches running a 3way monitor setup??
I just noticed something weird about my cards while overclocking the ram.
The good one overclocks and runs stable with no problems at 1000 / 2400 clocks. The bad one occasionally crashes when trying to manually set the ram clock over 2275 Mhz, but if I manage to set it to 2400 without crashing, it still runs completely stable in every benchmark without any problems or crashes.
I tried rotating the cards around again and I noticed that the good card has a default voltage of 1025 mV, and the bad one has a default voltage of 1012 mV, indicating that they have different bioses on them?
Do you think its worth a shot extracting the bios off the good card and flashing it onto the bad one? How would I go about doing this?
as u wish, this only 1 gb versionQuote:

i am hoping it is 9.5 long as i would like to have it in this computer. the current video card i have even though its 9.5 it has connectors at back of card so i cant use it. while gigabyte has it on top of the card this i could use easily if length isnt beyond 9 3/4 lengthQuote:

I have to look at pics on the web, compare with known cards, then hope it fits. Reviewers seem to ignore this issue as well, they must think everyone runs on a open bench.:shrug:
