Are your results single 580 GTX or 580 SLI? Your first post is not clear in only stating 2x 580's but the results do not say SLI or not. Great numbers in anycase.
thanx ma bad let me rephrase
1st post updated ^so far 2x 580 1.025v one green pcb one orange pcb are proving to be fully stable @ 950/1900/2300 stock cooled/1.138vgpu/max fan
following results are @ single 580 - no soft/hard mods other than the vgpu increase via nvidia inspector

I'm now running 1.063v, 870mhz core, 4300mhz on the RAM... fan speed still auto. I'll probably be able to push a little further on these clocks but thus far they have been rock-solid through lengthy Just Cause 2 & BFBC2 multiplayer sessions.
I tried going to 1.138v but my card does NOT like to run that, it crashes on the desktop quickly even with clocks that ran fine at lower voltages, let alone trying to overclock... 1.125v works, but I'm probably going to stick to whatever I can do on 1.063v for temps and the low noise profile. I'm not going to trade the silence for an extra 50mhz on the core . Now, if I could reach 1ghz... mmmmm.
My card's stock VID is 1.025v (eVGA normal, black PCB).

My GTX 480 behaves exactly the same, if you underclock my 480 and set Vcore to 1.138 it crashes! It's fine at any clock as long as I don't go above 1.125V, I ran OCCT for 4 hours with only 5 errors at 900MHz core with 1.125V. Are these stress testing programs (OCCT, FurMark) representing real world games loads or are they greatly exaggerating things?

yeah I'm gonna return my gtx580. It has a low vid, but it overclocks like crap. Even though I can hit up 950-960, its not even close to being stable. I think the lower vid thing is a myth, or I just have a bad card.

was i going to sell you into slavery if not?? sheeesh
and btw they all black pcb the edges are best seen as green or orange anyways dont worry about
so you ran crysis @ 958 and its still a myth thanx!
the problems your having i doubt are the 580 at all you had issues right from the start tried to help ya sorry i bothered
i guess some people would rather just post rubbish as they see fit
fyi 480 is not 580 quite different beasts
and fyi ive experienced a number of different 480 and 580 vids
anywho.. tried to keep thread upbeat but i guess some people are born downers and always will be downers
damn xs used to be fun place to hang around
so you ran crysis @ 958 and its still a myth thanx!

I wasn't trying to be ignorant or anything. If you read the first page of this forum, I actually did finally get the drivers installed properly. I even explained how I fixed it. Still my card keeps crashing in games after 30-45mins of gameplay. Having to increase volts on stock clocks to keep stable is an issue to me. Believe me I've been trouble shooting the card practically the whole weekend so far. I've done every piece of advice here on the forums and my best friend google.
Although I completed crysis benchmark at 950 it was artifacting. I would actually say the card was legitimately stable at 930mhz on the core though with max volts.

look like i said you got a good vid there if you quickly rma it you may end with a much higher vid and still having the same issues make sure you rule out everything your whole system unless you are sure its card
can you try a beefier psu? another motherboard? another system
card clocks up to 960 in crysis and yet you cant game at default clocks ??
reset motherboard bios.. reinstall windows.. something somewhere down the chain is the cause
then again maybe its the 580 just rma it
good luck!

The card runs crysis at 960, but it was only 3 passes and artifacts and stuttering were defiantly apparent. I don't even think it would run the game legitimately for 5-10mins.
I would like to try it with a different system, but the one I'm using is the only one I have right now. I sold my other board and chip. However i do have an extra power supply, and that's the only thing I haven't tried. Personally i think the psu is fine considering it ran my gtx480 perfectly even overclocked. Hopefully some new drivers come out soon. Maybe I'll get better results.
