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

[p3gaz_001]

that's sound strange.. :| well... i'll start to talk about "sli" very soon

[Punisher!]

Guys, how to be sure that all the RAM chips are stable?

I am currently testing with CUDA GPU Memtest but it does test just about 1/3 of the memory size. Will it test always the "same" 512MB?

How to test all the 1536MB together?

Thanks, goodbye.

Do you want to stress your cards mates?

Then try 3 instances of CUDA GPU Memtest = 1200MB of GDDR5 tested!

Talking about my case:
4500Mhz @1.075V one instance would fail
4400Mhz @1.075V two instances would fail (but one would pass!)
4300Mhz @1.075V three instances would fail (but even two would pass!)

just set it @ 2200 and forget it.. stable @ any cooling given enough vgpu

900/2200 @ 1.1vgpu and you dont have to worry about ram chips/stability/anything

theres no sli profile for acb yet renaming the game exe to bioshock.exe or metro2033.exe or any sli profiled game enables sli

used to stutter like a mofo @ original exe

Napalm just wanted to keep discussion here on topic which was about VID vs clocks. Kinda obscure thread title for a general OC thread too so I made one specifically for general GTX580 discussion.

so what would you like me to rename it to ? general gtx580 topics ?

[NapalmV5]

[p3gaz_001]

i'll try it right now.

[p3gaz_001]

the only map working is Alien Vessel .... is the same for you Napalm?

No it was fine for the initial content. Then people being lazy just started posting general OC stuff in here as it was the only thread related to GTX580's.

I made a general GTX580 OC thread so no need to rename this one plus if you did it would just confuse things now.

thanks for the screenshot and youtube vids NapalmV5. After seeing your youtube vid, I added 3 580s to my wish list and removed 2 560s. If you dont mind me asking, what brand monitor are you using and is it 120Hz?

all the other maps seem to work

last night i removed the 3rd 580.. back to 2way sli.. unlike the 5ghz/tri sli above this @ default 980x and sli

sure your welcome.. unfortunately only metro 2033 and some apps truly take advantage of tri sli

the samsung hdtv plasma is almost 4 years old now.. 60hz model fp-t5084

may your wish list come true

from the beginning the thread was about gtx580 oc stuff.. just a bit more specific if you havent noticed the zillion posts/benchmarks/oc clocks from the lowest vid to the highest/single/sli/tri sli/everything posted and this wasnt just about diff vids or "vid investigation" as you put it

i know you made thread all the peeps that got beef with me dont like me whatever.. can post in your thread it works out perfectly everybody should be happy and dont worry title shall remain such

CryptiK really whats up? whats the problem? what is it? i cant figure out..

Nothing's up mate, and people round here respect you a lot, I know I do. You are often the first guy to grab new hardware and push it with mods on air and water beyond what most people will. Your threads are always interesting.

I just thought it was specific to VID vs clock investigation (1.025 VID specifically), and I could see people were starting to post normal OC and unrelated stuff in here. To tell the truth I questioned whether or not I should post in there when I got my GTX580, and after posting one or two screens decided against it and made a general OC thread titled as such. That's it, nothing more. My intention was not to offend you by doing so, so I'm sorry if you feel like I took over your thread by making the other one or something. Just from the title and initial content, it doesn't seem like a general thread, which every other forum has, and I myself questioned posting in it, and if I have, I bet others have too. You gotta admit it sounds pretty specific doesn't it!

last night had really low liquid flow so ill be getting another 3 water pumps by tomorrow

you guys know of more powerful yet quite pumps like the eheim 1250 ?

http://i54.tinypic.com/19phtj.png

Very nice score, 3 cards are a powerful combination. My new larger LCD actually gave me some stuttering with a single card last night in BFBC2, so with some games at full candy settings at least 2 cards are certainly needed for smooth game play.

[NapalmV5]

@CryptiK

thanks thats just 2 580s not 3.. i removed 1 because i had really bad flow a few days ago.. once ill have enough/proper liquid flow in my system ill try again @ 3 580s

definitely go for another one

-

well thanks for the kind words

when the card got released back in nov all the review sites had low oc clocks 800 just over 800 the most was like 850 860.. i was like the card should do way more than that..

after a short time with diff vids i started this thread to show anyone interested in gtx580 what a low vid gtx580 can do.. at first post ive asked that you guys post your vids and oc clocks personally i didnt need confirmation on diff vids oc clocks

as for the title itself mainly to push you push your gtx580.. like i said 950 is avg for this vid as for the 2300 memory unfortunately nvidia back in nov revised the reference gtx580 pcb and by december already the new revision got into retail

because of that the only thing id change in the title is 2300 to 2200 but then again now we got custom cards like the msi lightning asus dcuII and soon gigabyte oc that can do more than 2300 mem thats why i didnt bother to change

just because the thread is vid related doesnt meant it has nothing to do with oc clocks.. oc clocks right there in the title

i dont feel you took over my thread at all im not offended like i said i got no problem with anyone starting another gtx580 oc thread

you guys have kept the thread alive and i appreciate it and thank you to all that have contributed

if you guys want to let the thread die stop posting i will stop aswell its all good



edit: matter of fact everyone please post all your gtx580 oc clocks in CryptiKs thread.. posting mine now

this thread has become too big has too many posts to sift thru just for oc clocks since it contains a wide variety of gtx580 topics

please let this thread go down and continue @ CryptiKs thread

thanks!

I might get laughed at but here it goes: with 1.025 vid and 850mhz I get a driver error when I run Vantage in P mode.(I used afterburner for the OC) I tried the same setting with the latest Nvidia inspector and then I launced Skyrim(with lots of mods heavy on the GPU) and it worked fine. My GPU is an Asus DirectyCU 2 so I don`t quite know at what lvl. shpuld I keep the fans at. I`m gearing up for 900mhz gpu and 1300mem. Every help wpuld be much appreciated. Thank you!

[NapalmV5]

what vgpu you at ?

either load spike/s require more vgpu or the vgpu is not enough to sustain the load

fans always as high as you sustain

[badboy18187]

A pic to show that in Unigine my new settings actually worked:



P.S. Although I do think the vgpu is a tad high for these clocks but with the fan at 75-80% temperatures never got higher than 65 degrees celsius.

[NapalmV5]

probably the vgpu.. very likely it needs higher than 1150.. i think 1150 on the dcu2 580s is equivalent to 1050 on the reference 580s at least as far as soft goes.. so it definitely needs more like 1250

ASIC quality? (You can read it with GPU-Z).

[xEnergie]

i have a gtx 580 hydrocopper2 just sitting here waiting until i water cool it with the rest of my system. what kind of clocks do you guys think i can get 24/7 with it?

[Punisher!]

Hi guys. I am searching for an Asus EN GTX580 reference/voltage tweak like the one I already have for my new rig..

Where can I find it? No shop has it available.
