yep, but you cant install it, at least not for me. I always get an error. 197.41 works with no problems so I dont know if it is real.

Yupe, default at 1.038v for both gtx480s.
That was on stock cooler.
I'm still waiting for 4Slot SLI Connector to cool them with EK FC-480GTX (Ni+Acetal)



Single watercooled GTX480 + EK OCed to 900/4800/1800 @ 1.125vGPU:

It all depends on whether you want slow DirectX 11 graphics features when they are released, this is Nvidis's Ace in the whole! Nvidia has some beta drivers that increase DX11 frame rates by 30fps on one particular game and that's only the beginning! The DirectX 11 muscle in Nvidia's new architecture and is just waiting to be tapped into! The 5870 is out of gas and has shown what it's capable of with good mature drivers, the GTX 480 however hasn't shown all that it can do yet.

Overclocked 470's are beating up on 1Ghz 5870's in 06 by 3K points

guys soft vcore monitoring is incorrect

evga gtx 470 sc:
0.95 (soft) = 1.0 (multimeter)
1.012 = 1.06
1.087 = 1.145
1.162 = 1.229

Vdram=1.54 (multimeter)

measure point:

[QuadDamage]

on my GTX480 it's 1.088V in MSI AB - 1.035V real, .05V difference. I should've checked the readings with a MM before. I think i'm getting old.

edit : oh yeah and my stock vdimm is 1.49V.

[NapalmV5]

in my case 1.125vcore @ soft = 1.245vcore @ dmm

@ load not idle vcore

[cowie]

yes i'v i checked with dmm and noticed that with the 470 and 480...msi ab monitoring does pick it up in load situations.

set 1.16v = load 1.215
