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

[LedHed]

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 ?????.

Still weren't running the same build (version) of the game, want a cookie?

This is my max clock I was able to reach. I tried 970mhz, but it crashed.

anyone see a correlation to pcb color and vid

[ragejg]

Is the old crysis demo anyhting even close to the retail game any more in terms of rendering capability?

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

2x 580 1.025v 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 1.025v and/or better vid results here as well for the benefit of everyone

thank you good luck!

note: you can use nvidiainspector to check on vid where you see my [1.025v]

awsome numbers ....

it's scary that unigine score on single gpu .... WTF!!!!

Yep i only got 33.665 fps on his build, thanks for letting me know about the build version i didn't realise i patched mine but next time don't be a about it i can accept i made a mistake when taking the bench but you rather just be a big kid and still point fingers good work man :P.

@ ts = any WARHEAD score ?

I think my 580 is slowly dying

It seems I have to keep bumping up the volts slowly on stock clocks just to keep it from freezing with some minor artifacting. Stock vid is 1.013v, then I bumped it to 1.025v which eventually wasn't enough, and now I'm at 1.038v to keep it running. I guess it might be time to RMA.

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.

sure.. 1.000v noice!! should clock real nice

[NapalmV5]

Very nice
can run 975 on stock

thanx.. watercooled 1.025vid and lower should clock @ 1025-1050

[NapalmV5]

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

cheers
Sergio

nice!

lord gimmie 0962vid 2x 580

cheers

[NapalmV5]

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?

lol

dont matter what brand as long as its low vid

good luck

[NapalmV5]

anyone see a correlation to pcb color and vid

one 1.025v green and one 1.025v orange both do the same clocks but the green has the edge and ill use it as main

greens are just as good as the orange.. oranges are just as bad as the greens

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.

I was having similar issues and ended up reinstalling Windows. Too many Cats and Nvidia drivers had previously be installed and there was no salvaging that old Windows install.

nice not bad

reinstall the drivers as that has been the issue from the getgo and dont use any oc app and see how it does

if that doesnt do anything try another psu if you got another

or what trn said above ^

my 580 still going strong

@ ts = any WARHEAD score ? not crysis score....

i wonder did single 580 oc can kick def 6870 CF on WARHEAD ?

[NapalmV5]

@ ts = any WARHEAD score ?

ill do crysis warhead/redo everything monday on a new system

till then heres stalker cop @ ultra default settings to give you an idea where its at

[Gaul]

ill do crysis warhead/redo everything monday on a new system

OK still wait for WARHEAD SCORE 4 compare

[NapalmV5]

let me see if i got warhead if i have it will post result tonight

If you looked at one of my previous post I actually fixed the driver issue. I installed it in a slightly different way. I used device manager to uninstall, and ran a driver cleaner in safe mode. Then I reboot and install the drivers. Well on top of that I used the clean install function that nvidia provides when you install their drivers. Long story short my frames improved after a proper install and things ran smooth.

Now when you say don't use any overclocking app what do you mean? Not have any app installed at all when testing?

I was having similar issues and ended up reinstalling Windows. Too many Cats and Nvidia drivers had previously be installed and there was no salvaging that old Windows install.

I may try it if worse comes to worse, but as of now I'm just about convinced the card is no good. Hopefully I can figure out the problem if possible.

[NapalmV5]

ya game at default clocks without using any oc app

[NapalmV5]

awsome numbers ....

thanx.. sli 1.025v coming monday

[Gaul]

let me see if i got warhead if i have it will post result tonight

yup, hope can beat 6870 CF on warhead

msi 580 vid 1.00
950 stock voltage for 03, 2am so tryed trolls at 1000 and passed with 1.13v

Well to eliminate the problem I proceeded to just uninstalling all gpu related overclocking programs. And to my surprise it helped a little. It didn't crash as fast at stock voltage, but it still crashed which still bums me out.

I think I'm gonna just reinstall the drivers just one last time. If that doesn't work, then I'm getting a replacement.
