GTX 680 OC - Result-Thread --- Post your results here

Second block installed, all back in the case leak testing:

http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/w...dslibridge.jpg

Up and running :D

http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/w...darksideon.jpg


Temps are real nice, both cards mem/vrm almost identical, second cards core ~2*C hotter but its running slightly more voltage too. ~42-44*C core. 44*C mem, 50*C VRM after extended gaming.

The mem or mem controller on my new card was sensitive to heat, but I've now got both cards at +900 MHz (3911 MHz / 7822 MHz effective) running stable in games. 250 GB/s bandwidth, don't think they'll be bandwidth starved with that :)


** Apologies for that awful exposed cabling, I'll be sleeving it soon!

looking good guys nice rigs!

I dont mate, can I run it as a standalone bench? Anything else you want me to run? Has to be small, I just installed Crysis2, Crysis3 beta and Farcry 3 so HDD space is running low!

pick/post up some reference points then we can all compare as close as possible.. good way to compare without benchmark

btw you guys have assassins creed 3 ?

Very clean build Cryptik.

Thanks for the kind words. Its not finished yet, when it is I'll throw another pic up.

Yep, well ive just started Crysis2, and the 3 beta, im not the best person to pick points etc.

Sorry no, don't have AC III.


Edit - new crysis 3 beta is very cold and unengaging. Not sure I'll stick with it but I can do various MP rounds etc and log.

so first touch with this generation, not sure if I am doing it right.. . .

all I did was add 20mv to core and raise core +100 and memory +100

very nice l0ud_sil3nc3!

now lets see some crysis 3 beta sss :D

Nice one Loud_silence, killer CPU clocks there :D

Napalm - I was trying to get some screen caps today but it was just all black........not sure whats up with that. I was taking closer note of FPS and all maxed/2xMSAA/2560x1600 its between 58-65 FPS and that's with the CPU at 4GHz and cards underclocked to 1202 core with mem @ 7400 MHz (does 7822 easy). Was just playing around with low clocks and it's still good FPS.

On another note was asked to take some more shots of my (still unfinished) rig so thought I might post a couple here too.

I can still see so many things to do - re-do tubing, new low profile aluminium clamps, sleeve cabling, redo all bolts with black anodized items etc, and parts are on there way now (smoked plexi serpentine top window, MM front plate in matte black, MM midplate in matte black etc) but it's getting there.

Some games pics runing my Galaxy SOC GTX680@ 1306core +700mem for 24/7

all games maxed except for Crysis 3, Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution rest of games barely use 1202+

Dead Space 3 ULTRA SETTINGS from config file

never saw such consume on each card 94% of each at 1306 core to 1320 lol

thanks guys !!!

It's interesting that you can get that level of detail and playability with just 1202mhz core and +700 mem offset only.
Very nice indeed.

Thanks Ivan but cards are at 1306 +700 some games dont need such power so they stay lower

Do you think V-Sync has something to do with that? Im thinking it does. My cards go full speed in everything I play but I do not use V-sync, games *should* load them hard enough to go full speed, but if they are limited to only 60 FPS then that's probably why they aren't.
