ur funny man... heaven and other s h i t(furmark,kombustor) can run hours on hardest settings without any crash but in a real game u will crash after minutes... heaven LOL..

super safe oc - occt tool -> gpu test - 10min without a fault is rock stable
normal safe oc - TPU gputool ctp1 -> stability test - 10min without a fault is normally rock stable

gamestable oc -> TPU gputool ctp1 -> stab test
-> just hold down the errors until clusterblobs (for my personal choice i would avoid getting more than 1000 err/sec (cluster blobs included) for stable gaming)

ram has to be super stable, so dont wank around with gpu clocks without being sure that ur ram is "ok"

dont be disappointed if ur "oh wow im so cool with mega overclock" setting in reality produces endless errors (u can use furmark in background to push the card faster to an "oc test ready" status and punish the mcu a bit more)

Do about 3-4 run of 3d mark 06 and check out for artifacts or any other bizarre stuff. If there is none, i can grantee you you will never crash a single time in a game. How i know ? My max 3d mark 06 for a hd5770 is 1075core and 1450 mem. It is now running 24/7 on collatz ( a distributed computing project in boinc) and it has never error-ed a single work unit and i can game with those clock no problem.

At Xs gpugrid and wcg grid, we have a little motto that is : Want to prove your stability come try gpugrid and wcg. You will see what stable really mean.

Also got email from newegg, should get my gtx470 sometime next week.

can you redo a vantage run bit without physx activated in vantage plz roch ?

I got a nice overclock on my EVGA GTX 480 on air 1.138v 852MHz Core, 1704MHz Shader and Memory is untouched. I plan to go further once I have my Danger Den water block with my Black Ice 4x120mm rad. Furmark is the olny program that full stresses my card so far, I don't have Windows 7 yet but I will! If anyone wants to offer suggestions about mounting my Black Ice GTX480 4x120mm rad to the rear of my Silverstone Tjo9 I would appreciate!

reply to Funcwagen;
Ser your fan speed manualy to 70-80% then you will have much better temps.It is very noisy but you can use headphones when gaming.

man i got sooo miffed at my lackluster results with dice on my 470...i put my stock lapped and modded cooler back on with some dice to cool the air
1860(915)/2040 o6 run 980x on dice


just a few clocks shy of my dice results

What is the voltages on your GTX 470? MSI Afterburner limits the voltages to a low value of 1.138v (stock is .98v), I've heard if water cooled you can go as high as 1.3v on the GTX 470/480. What OC utility are you using and what programs do you stability test for GPU/Shader/Memory errors? I find ATI Tool is showing errors before the more torcheress ones do, doesn't make sense why a more stressful test doesn't show errors and ATI Tool shows then when not fully stressing the 480 cards...?

[cowie]

i'm using 1.15v in this ss...the thing is its at no more then 40c.
as for stress testing 06 vantage and 03 is all i use....furmark and the like will send cards to an early grave.
i run stock if not benching

Anyone have 70.00.21.00.82 from an EVGA SC floating around?

What's your voltages set at on your GTX 480 WC?

This run @ 1,2v

Perhaps you might be able to help me understand overclocking tools, every overclocking tool and/or program that fully stresses my graphics card show no signs of artifacting, yet ATI Tool shows errors where all others do not. Why is this and is there something wrong with ATI Tool that would give false negative errors?

Thanks,
Systemlord.

For stability tests use 3DMark Vantage, for error scan "OCCT GPU test", it works fine with GF100 series.

So I'm guessing ATI Tool doesn't work well with GF100 series... ? I'm stuck on Windows XP for a few months longer, which is a good substitute for Windows XP other than OCCT GPU test?

Much appreciated!

nice clocks man thats real good run

Looks like Nvidia's new beta driver increased DX11 games by a wopping 30fps, I knew it was only a matter of time I wonder how he got his hands on the new beta as it's not on Nvidia's website...?

Hi

Can anyone with a GTX470 "21" instead of "A1" bios post it here plz?

/wekk

[pr@$r1g]

Mate its attached ,Bios is modded to these clocks "700/1400/1800"-70.00.21.00.03

No artifacts with my 470 & there's no need of extra volts

[pr@$r1g]

A feedback for ^ bios ... would be gr8 mates , by the way u have to set custom fan profile for the GPU !

[wekktor]

thx very much for the bios!

But when I tried it I had much lower fps in games than with the evga 470 sc bios. But that was because I had Xtreme Tuner on with the "21" bios and the bad fps was the same with the evga bios so I will try the 21 bios again and close the xtreme tuner.
