GTX 680 OC - Result-Thread --- Post your results here

[cole2109]

Hey guys

I'm very unhappy with my 680 SLI
My results are very low compared to others.

For example:
andressergio has a very similar system.

He scored 17772 with CPU@5000MHz and GPU@1275MHz
I scored 16500 with CPU@5000 and GPU@1324MHz and 1200MHz (max for second card)
If i sync cards to 1200MHz, i get little lower score. This is almost 1300 points difference.

Another example:
giorgioprimo scored with one 680 11095. CPU@4500MHz and GPU@1235MHz. I tried with CPU@5000Mhz and GPU@1324MHz and scored 10800.

Stability is not an issue. If i lower the clock, i get lower score.
I already reinstalled WIN and no success.

WTF? Where is the problem?

One more thing. I'm still on P67 UD7 B3.
I have not tried my new Z77 yet.

cole

u dont have to sync cards i tested thats not good for OC, i just use as this

this is with chip at 5400HT



if i put sync wont do that

i will test what u asked when i recover im sick this days
btw im still on same as you P67 B3

cheers
Sergio

nice and sweet bios for a daily on air...

during bf3 1200mhz... semifix..

whats special about it other than clock rates

are you graphing clocks while the benchmark run? perhaps it is for some reason downclocking or running lower than you think it is

Guys I want to use a gpu only block on my 680 while retaining the factory backing plate for component cooling (as I did on my 580). With my 580 I had to file the corners of the base to fit into the opening o the backing plate but it seems that 680 has a smaller opening again so does anyone know of a universal gpu block that has a smaller base than an EK VGA supreme HF ?? Or will I need a shim?

Thanks guys.

[aussie-revhead]

No go huh?

Ok has anyone worked out a way to get a bit more vcore without soldering ?

[cole2109]

Backplate and screws will be painted in matt black.

BTW:
Where are you all? So many 680 users and this topic is "dead"

[Manicdan]

the overclocking is just to simple and boring i guess

Hi did you note any improve in OC with the waterblock?

While I was fleshing out all of my GTX 680's to find which was the best over-clocker I found out I have a beast card. I always wondered why this card all the way at the end in my 4-way SLI config operated so much cooler than the others. It is crazy efficient.

1328 MHz core, 3580 MHz memory at stock voltage! Also EVGA Scanner X and OCCT stable at these frequencies. My other three GTX 680's would top out around 1240-1260 MHz core when used on their own.

This core is so efficient it idles at 18 C! Anyone else see clocks like these? It will make a nice single GPU for my new mini-build.

Any advice on getting these things to boost right. I have a offset set in EVGA Precission X (3.02) yet the cards aren't boosting... at all. Both trucking along at 1006 regardless of 3D load. Using the 301.24 betas,
haven't tried the launch driver or the developer one.

My 670 in my other system is working just fine though... but I did have the same issue and a restart fixed it. Not the case with the 680s. The memory clock changes work though. Its not like I need to overclock
them as I'm happy enough with the performance but if I can, I will

[cole2109]

Can someone try this? My UD5 is on RMA

http://www.obr-hardware.com/2012/05/...sable-gpu.html

[Chickenfeed]

Don't feel to bad, I can't even raise the offset more than about 50 without getting a driver stoped responding error in either 3d11 or heaven

[aussie-revhead]

Yeah this thread is very quiet ....

Guys when you set vcore with precision X it slides to 1.215v but sets lower, do any cards allow you to set vcore higher ?

What's taking so long to get the good models out eg Lightning ??

[Splave]

^nope thats the max without vmods

[aussie-revhead]

Are there any non-permanent mods ? Or get the soldering iron out ? I'm hoping Lightning will have some nice mods built in

[Manicdan]

there was a theory that someone could mod the bios to change the voltage IDs to use a valid and also higher value than the current max. no clue how thats going right now. but im sure its a dead idea.

So no one is interested in this?

Add a third card to my sli, for now it's sync:



Tried eleven cards to find three which clocks above 1300mhz... Tried one 670 =>1346mhz aircooled pfff...

[aussie-revhead]

What does 2 way SLI score at those clocks?

Has anyone found that one brand clocks better than any other?

[Chickenfeed]

I'm not sure if its a driver issue or what but I can set an offset of 120 and games are just fine but in the few benchs I've tried, anything over 20 or so results in a driver stoped responding error. I'm not sure if I could individually clock the cards and see if one is a stinker or if there is something else going on here... I'll have to toy with the new whql drivers.

Looks like you all have good chips, unlike me

I can't get over approx. P9000 in 3DMark11.

This is done by either +160 core and +575 mem with a power limit of 132 or +170 core and +200 mem, with 132 power limit.

I also have a i5-2500K with the standard clock because I'm waiting for some watercooling.

whats your graphics score? thats a better way to compare one gpu to another where your cpu dosnt affect score as much. my 2500k at a little under 5ghz was good for P10600

[HrCookie]

My results are:

3DMark ScoreP9080
Graphics Score10515
Physics Score6471
Combined Score6403
GraphicsTest151.41 FPS
GraphicsTest248.81 FPS
GraphicsTest363.44 FPS
GraphicsTest431.46 FPS
PhysicsTest20.55 FPS
CombinedTest29.78 FPS

Normaly i can get my 2500k to 5.2GHz when benching, but for now there is only Intels own stock cooling on the CPU.
