Bring on these high performance models, woohoo

u can achieve really nice clocks with the EVGA reference model the normal one aussie no need of super ubber dupper model using 3 slots...

[aussie-revhead]

Awesome,I will look into locating some but I want one with maybe more pwms and maybe less throttling and voltage limits etc, manual overrides like lightning would be mad...

Can you buy them for me because yours always clock well

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Lightning will be the way to go I am sure.

Zotac reference board at 1343Mhz core, still stock cooled fan at 85%.

Afterburner allows up to %200 power target, this is not necessary though?

really dont know i use to luv MSI aftb but now it aint show clocks on main interface so i use Precision X but from what i read its 132% max

If it provides more than 1.175V and you can keep your card under 70C then yes, but personally it don't think it's worth it unless you're on water. Can't wait to put mine under water.

I said "IF", my friend. *IF*.

By the way I'm with this guy sourtimes9. I'd also prefer having fixed clocks and voltage.

Hey sergio, what's up with the Lucid MVP i've only been using it for a couple of days and it says here my "license has expired". Any "unlocked" version you know of? Will installing a newer build over the old one work?

[aussie-revhead]

QuadDamage - how does 1058+210=1343?? Or does yours turbo clock to 1133 stock?

[QuadDamage]

I'm not sure man, something is messed up apparently... Everything adds up nicely when i apply the clocks but when i run 3D both GPU-Z and Precision X show 1343.9? I don't know maybe 132% power boosts the core clock.

Also running 3DMark with the default screen display mode "centered" checked seems to lock the framerate at 60 v-synced but when you choose "stretched" the fps goes much higher ~70+

check this out man. +100 which should be 1106Mhz now look at the actual speed.

[dnottis]

Mine, water cooled, overclocked

i can confirm that annoyance with 3dmark11, caused me a few hundred points for a while there.

for the actual overclock, dont think too much about it. as you can see even in unigene using only ~105% of the tdp your actual clocks are jumping around alot. if you max out your fan speed you should see that number stabilize near your max actual OC, which is a little over 100 over base+offset

[QuadDamage]

Cool. I only had this card for a couple of days and haven't really had time to play around with it yet. BTW, my score is with 60fps "cap".

[aussie-revhead]

Jeez anyone know when stocks of these things might pick up? A local PC store has models 5 listed but they are all out of stock, newegg has 11 models listed and all out of stock .....

Edit: OCUK has stock of some lines but look how many are still out of stock, EVGA Hydro-Copper and 4GB FTW have an of ETA: 27/04/12, so maybe things will improve in a couple of weeks.

Edit: Phantom 4GB is due ETA: 18/04/12 so that will be great too.

Prices are a killer unless we can avoid VAT.....

I just gave up waiting and pjcked up an evga GTX 580 with an EK water block and backplate for 300 plus ship.ill probably pick up a w/c 680 classified eventually

[pakitoesp]

Here I leave my results with two ASUS GTX 680 and i7 3960X to 5.1 Ghz

[Systemlord]

Is it common for a i7 3960X to reach 5.1GHz?

some trip really nice mate and on PhysX score is killer

***luvly score pakito !!!

[aussie-revhead]

Nice score mate, that is my goal too but I see I will not do it with Ivy..... 17000 CPU score is very nice

[aussie-revhead]

I see EVGA 4GB 680 ETA is now 4th of May .... can anyone confirm any real dates (and prices)?

Have you guys seen the EVGA Hydros on ebay? One is asking $1299 .....

[xarot]

Everyone is using the ROG skin for CPU-Z/GPU-Z...really hard to read anything from a resized image!
