[un]official GTX580 Overclocking Thread

[OC Nub]

VERY impressive cooler, Best single card I have ever owned. I have an itch for something red though. TR

Red is strong now! We will see how red drivers go, I was done with them after 5800's but.... just installed a Koolance full cover block on the new red card.

LOL, I'm gonna stick to the green team for now, BF3 is all I play and it's just better on the green side for now.

My result on AMD:

This all sounds like "The Swamp Things" comic. Green vs Red.

currently my leadtek 580 3g could run 960mhz@1.138v, bf3 all ultra msaax4 motion blur on multi@1920 x 1200 b2k avg 58 fps. 2500k@5g 1.35v. no rush to move to red side!

1080/4850
7325 graphics

If you wonder why my score a bit low for 1080mhz, it's because I'm running the 580 off a laptop. Stupid CPU only runs at around 2.8ghz in quad core mode. Feel free to give me $1000 for the 300mhz faster 2960xm.

Vantage at 1070:
25778 graphics

Vantage seems particularly low. I think it's mostly CPU, but I think the PCI-E bottleneck may be around 10% penalty here.

No table of results?

bf3 2 hour

Some benches I did with an Asus GTX 580 DC II, using chilled liquid.
(hardware modded to add 0.4V).
AB monitoring may show little changes in voltage & frequencies, due to the using of RC TweakIt remote control during the bench.

Nice result mate.

Thanks.

anyone able to help out with an afterburner extreme compatible with a 580 lightning extreme?

[Olivon]

Hi guyz,

Somebody knows how to put more than 1.21v on GTX 580 DCUII ?
Thanks !

[jimba86]

great results!

I also wonder the above question for all 580's in general.

I seen that before posting but all the links are dead

Thanks 4 answering Sauron_Vie though

I assume this is just for watercooling, right?

[Olivon]

Almost

I've made a combo with an H50 cooler and that's quite efficient, I'm @985MHz with 1.21v (temps don't seem to be a problem, 74° during 3DM11 session) and want to go 1GHz for fun.
H24, I don't go this high, don't worry

I'm going to assume its a bad idea to install that on a lightning extreme card right?

[jimba86]

I install it with my reference gigabyte 460..No issues..untill i did a heaven run.

So no i wouldn't do it..just stick with AB.

[Olivon]

For those who want to go more than 1.21v :

Be cautious !

[kikicoco1334]

just wondering what is the difference between the evga 580 superclock vs the 580 classified?

other than the fact that classified has 3gb

but what about the overclock wise

[gpvecchi]

Sorry, I don't know if this has been threated before: what's the maximum safe voltage for a GTX 580 with DCII cooler?
I hit 960 Mhz on 1.163 at about 80°...

[IndianScout]

I was being lazy I didn't feel like clocking...

My GTX590 mutated with bios of the Mars II, now has no PDL, greetings.
