Gtx 560

[lagittaja]

Long time since I last visited here.
Now that I found this thread I thought I could participate.
I currently have MSI 560Ti TFII/OC card.
Came with a stock 3D VID of 0,975 which is awesome or awesome?
However, I couldn't up the voltage about at all without the card softlocking.
I had thinking for a couple weeks and last week I decided to order AXP and Enzotech BMR-C1 copper heatsinks.
I'll be installing them next weeks, the Enzotechs are going to the vrms.
Long story short, I got my card, stock clocks and gaming temps rocket over 80*C gpu fan manually 100% with case side open and 30cm table fan blowing directly at the card, swapped TIM to MX-4, now I run gpugrid 24/7 with stock clocks and 73*C with gpu fan at 52% manually.
Can you guys tell me about the stock vids you have had with your cards?
Would be interested in them.
Reading this thread now, starting now page 6/10

IMO 73c is still hot especially for a 560. Could just be because the VRMs don't have a heatsink on why temps are higher than normal still though. I would say 0.975v is normal for your card, OC edition 460s mostly came with 0.975v default VID as well, I would expect your card to get to 950MHz - 1GHz GPU speed fairly comfortably.

On a side note, what happen to everybody in this thread? While I think 560s are overpriced for what they are, I was still enjoying seeing what other people were getting

Nice looking card, but why such a measly OC on the GPU?

We didn't all get good cards. My OC version from EVGA wasn't tested and they gave me a 1.062 VID. It's crap and they wouldn't even admit they didn't really test it, but just jacked the VID. It needs .962 to hit the 900Mhz speed it shipped with. Bullocks! ;D

I was having an argument elsewhere with one of those clowns that think that the GTX 560 ti is a rubbish card for games like Metro because it only has 1 Gb Vram.

He kept posting loads of useless graphs and benchmark results showing a maximum of a 3 FPS difference with more Vram at 2560 resolution, but still wanted to conclude that 1 Gb cards arent enough for the latest games at 1200p.

I kind of did this, and he still thinks that the 1 Gb cards are worse than the 2 Gb ones:



Apparantly he had discovered the use of paint to draw blue arrows where the FPS dipped as proof of 'lag spikes due to Vram shortage', ignoring the fact that the Vram usage was only around 980 Mb on the 1 Gb cards, and 1.3 Gb on the 2 Gb cards, I actually couldnt see any 'lag spikes' while watching the benchmark, and both the 1 Gb and 2 Gb cards experience the same dips on the graphs. It appeared to me that the 1 Gb MSI cards (clocked to 1025 / 2500 and able to complete a triple loop without crashing) were managing better, but apparantly it isnt and this benchmark comparison is somehow irrefutable proof that 1 Gb Vram isnt enough on a GTX 560 :x
