GTX580: 1.025VID: 950/1900/2300: stock cooler: guaranteed?!?

[NapalmV5]

*** please overclock/overvolt at your own risk ***

so far 2x 580 1.025vid one green pcb one orange pcb are proving to be fully stable @ 950/1900/2300 stock cooled/1.138vgpu/max fan

its no secret/mystery lower vid ~ higher clocks so please post your 580 1.025vid and/or better vid results here as well for the benefit of everyone

thank you good luck! you can use nvidia inspector to check on vid where you see my [1.025v]

Great !

Fantastic! I just got my gtx 580 this morning. Card is showing 1.013v. Looks like I have to try those 262.99 drivers, the 260.99 aren't so great so far.

EDIT: 262.99 keep failing installation. I've uninstalled the old drivers before installation and still no go.

[cowie]

jeez i cant even get my card much passed 990 on dice 1.13v vid 1.08v

[NapalmV5]

@Boulard83 when you guys get your 580s you know where your @

@bigKr33 nice vid should be nice clocker 262.99 went flawless over 260.99 here on win7-32

@cowie 1.08v ouch! ya thats what dice is for

wellcome back my friend amazing results as always

Sorry guys, but how do i check the stock vid on my card ?
NV Inspector or AB ?

[NapalmV5]

yes bito nv inspector

wellcome back my friend amazing results as always

thank you my friend

[bigKr33]

I'll post some pics in a little bit, but so far I've ran 900mhz on the core with only 1.1v with mem set to 2100mhz and it ran flawlessly. It can probably run the speed at a lower voltage, I just so happen to set it to the 1.1v to be on the safe side.

EDIT: This card is okay. Couldn't even do one pass through of crysis benchmark with max 1.138v (950/1900/2150). So I guess the whole lower the VID isn't always true. in some ways I think its the drivers because the 262.99 never really did install properly.

@cowie 1.08v ouch! ya thats what dice is for

It gets worse I have two with the same vid

Good luck with your card,I'm sure will see some more great clocks from you

[bigKr33]

I fixed the problem. The drivers defiantly didn't install right. Now they are working awesome, and my frames improved tremendously. Heres a quick test result, note the huge frame improvement over my last run with just a 20mhz difference.

slide vgpu all the way 1.138v also set fan @ max

your on the right path gotta push more

gotta download crysis benchmark and will post result later tonight

I did try pushing the voltage max, but I still can't get it to pass 950mhz on the core. Is there any other settings I need to tweak in the control panel? Will setting the fan max help results? My guess is; is that when these cards pass over a certain temp they're more sensitive at these speeds.

[bigKr33]

Just out of curiosity, have any of you guys experienced any crashing issues with games? My card is not even overclocked right now, but bad company 2 and crysis warhead crash after playing them for not very long. Its weird because I didn't have this issue earlier today. I wonder if the 262.99's are just crap. The game basically freezes, and I have to do the o'l ctrl + alt + del thing to get back to the desktop.

[NapalmV5]

updated 1st post to include crysis.. heaven @ default settings.. stalker cop coming up

when running these clocks+1.138vgpu always set fan @ max

my 5870 can do that :S is there any one with a 580 that can surpass my 5870 score ??

Weirdest thing, I don't think my gtx 580 is fully stable stock. That error I posted always happens with the stock volts, but as soon as I bump it up to 1.025v it runs fine. I wonder if it has something to do with the card breaking in

It first crashed playing bc2 after 30-45mins. Once that happened for the first time it would never go for more than 10-15mins before it would crash again with that same error. Bumped up the volts to 1.025v and no problems playing over 30mins. Turned it back down to 1.013v, and it crashed again after 10-15mins. So now I'm just leaving it at 1.025v because it seems to run better.

yes bito nv inspector



thank you my friend

Excellent, thank you NapalmV5.....in that case, my new EVGA GTX580 Vanilla card is 1.000v stock !
The Zotac GTX580 i have here is 1.062v stock.

[vern]

Very nice
can run 975 on stock

[andressergio]

yes bito nv inspector



thank you my friend

btw my pair of Palit Sonic Platinum 800/4000 GTX460 are both same batch and 0,962 vid love them

cheers

great, your extremely OC'd 5870 can match the 580 in the least optimized game in the world. Want a cookie?

I guarantee cowie can easily beat your runs

also you aren't even running the same Warhead build as the 580 run posted in the OP.

I wasn't trying to be a ignorant in my previous post i was legitly asking if someone could, also it doesn't matter if it is the least optimized game if it was the case why the hell is everyone still using it.
thanks.

BTW its not warhead its crysis, and the optimization of the game wouldn't matter the benchmark would still define the greater card regardless of the game code. The 580 was also overclocked in the OP, Want a cookie ?????.

Chill down guys, maybe someone is reading the thread with a mug of coffee with him in this moments

BTW, Im considering upgrading my GTX460 to a 580, should I take an EVGA?

every chance you get!!! thier customer service is second to none!

i'm surprised by how well the 580 overclocks, i was totally expecting the oc headroom to disappear as nvidia have focused on cutting down the leakage.

Me too... I bought 2 480's 6 weeks ago... I do regret it a little lol... ah well, guess I'll sit this one out and see what the 6xx series will bring
