MSI GTX275 Lightning is aliveeeeeee again, massman-esque like too

[dinos22]

www . holysmokes . com, seriously people i can't believe my luck in the last few days. I tested some old cards i really liked and back to life comes Asus Matrix 4870 that benches 1150 core and this awesome MSI GTX275 Lightning.

Easy 1350/2700/1400

I nearly finished 1400Mhz nature run as well. Too bad I ran out of voltage and core frequency with this Afterburner software, need MOAR please. I haven't even bothered testing if i can do more than 1400 on ram either

This has to be the best GPU ive ever tested seriously, love it

I'm really glad i bought this new Fatty pot from Vince. It seriously rocks, thanks mate!

Test system:

• GIGABYTE P67X-UD3R
• MSI GTX275 Lightning GPU
• Intel Core i5 2600K
• Corsair Dominator GT Hypers
• Kingpin Fatty pot
• Antec TP1200
• Windows Vista 32bit

Guess what I'll be benching soon

ok its working again , did a quick run to see what its like .

2500K takes a hit in LH but it is what it is, im happy to have a decent clocking chip at least heh



03 nature



There is still more in it, needed a bit of a volt bump but 1440 memory is ok, will try more next time, 133K looks doable

Nice Card!

vGPU?

[dinos22]

max 1.65 in AB tab, 1.62v idle/1.61v load

Get cracking dude

[fuzz3l]

max 1.65 in AB tab, 1.62v idle/1.61v load

Then use the Tool from madshrimps and you can set 1,75v afaik...

[dinos22]

haha Oj good one

Then use the Tool from madshrimps and you can set 1,75v afaik...

? which one

i emailed MSI to edit that AB i have as i also need more MHz on core past 1400 anyways, hopefully they can just do that.

[fuzz3l]

This one! I tested it and for me it works for a 275 Lightning. And for the freq issue, what about using rivatuner?
This should work also...

[dinos22]

oh yeah awesome will give that a shot, hoping it will keep going, i want 1500 core

[massman]

Good luck with yours. My 1400 vantage card just did this:

[dinos22]

that was an amazing card

[steponz]

I hate u.... rofl... .Thats pretty sick.. can't wait to see the results...

Mass... that just sucks.... sorry to hear that...

[GraduS]

dinos22, if this card can do this clocks in XP - its best 275))

ps after 1.65v on gpu i have degradation from 1300+ to 1200 in nature

[K404]

You brought two cards back to life??? How?!

Was there a mankini dance involved?

[dinos22]

i gave up on them and after a few months thought hell i'll see if they work just one last time

gradus thanks for advice

[Gautam]

That 900+ nature sure will have Vinbo trembling!

[dinos22]

always a party pooper j/k

vinboe is the king of 01, im just happy to play a little

[cowie]

alive again so you can kill it for good ah?

[k|ngp|n]

Lightnings that come back to life ROCK! Hella clocks Dino!
I sure had alot of fun clocking that 275 lightning. It was a great card for overclocking. Monster clocks.
Too bad gatman aka "da crusher" dropped the best one I had card side down with a Tek-9 FAT on it at the shop back home

[T_M]

Did you try the "blah" tool Dinos22?

[dinos22]

lol cowie that's the likely destiny hehe but hopefully i can do a couple of runs at least before it pops
Timbo, will do

lol bans "da crusher" from vinboe's new lab j/k

i almost killed this card when i did the vmem mod. I had it sitting on the back and didn't notice one of the solder wires coming off the VR and joined the second wire . System wasn't booting and then i saw the wires crossing FARK. Works now that ive re-soldered the point and covered the solder joints with some blutack lol.

Now let's see some 2k1 action from you dinos

[dinos22]

man i had 2L left in the tank but couldnt wait till refill, fired up the rig, 5.7GHz check, 1300/1400 check, LOL nature was still doing ~900 FPS. Warmed the card up tried lower clocks, no good. changed from XP to W7, also really low FPS

fired up a GTX295 on one core with 755/1223 and got 1K FPS in nature.

Damn, seems the card may be alive but not really working properly
will mod an SOC275 see how that goes


the setup itself is definitely humming along alright. i did a few runs in similar range to my last week's test with gtx295, system looks ok

[Leeghoofd]

Good luck with yours. My 1400 vantage card just did this...

Did Gamer touch it Sad loss there, that would have been the Aussie crusher with our 5.9 CPUs...
