*** NVIDIA 470/480 Series Thread ***

[Sn@ke:~]

beside the score what, is this a 24/7 oc and what is the gain in fps ?

[OliverM84]

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

@ load not idle vcore

oh, ... thats heavy stuff.

[Maxforces]

I have in bios 1.063 full load= 1.145V (multimeter) clocks 830/1660/1060.
Memory@1.620V .
Furmark measured.

GTX480 SLI @ 836/4200/1672 @1.038v stock cooler

Wait a second, your memory shows 2000MHz which should equal 4000MHz and not 4200MHz! The Nvidia reads it as x 2 where GPU-Z reads the memory as 1/4 or 1050 equaling (x4) 4200MHz unless I'm reading something wrong.

[owikh84]

U're right it's 4000Mhz mem actually
Pls do not quote my pic
thanks!

Just ordered my 2 GTX 480 SUPERCLOCKED from newegg next day overnight shipping. hopefully they will scale better than my quad GTX 295 sli setup.

nice clocks
hopefully we can get some vrm temp software in the next rivaturner.
BTW you vantage hwbot benchers use the new betas for MO' better scores

[QuadDamage]

The new drivers boost Vantage scores by quite a bit. I'm scoring 28k+ and i'm not even at my top clocks yet.

[Factotum]

what about

Invalid performance level version

for Fermi bios on techPowerUp! VGA BIOS collection?

[Ghigo]

New 257.15 boost like everything

bad company 10+ fps gain on min fps.

[mk-ultra]

those drivers makes fermi even more attractive

[demo23019]

3d vantage preset performance on 197.75



and on 257.15 lower CPU because HT disabled

[owikh84]

Post your Bios and i´ll unlock it.
Its possible untill 1,213v.

Hi OliverM84
Pls mod my MSI GTX480 to max volt. TQVM!

[GanGstaOne]

Hi OliverM84
Pls mod my MSI GTX480 to max volt. TQVM!

here you go

[cowie]

from the above ss's it looks like 100% percent on the gains with sli in this game,going by my single card gains at least that what it seems to be.
...its time to go back to sli now

stock clock 480 920@3.35
197.xx




same clocks on 257.xx




nice run! mk ultra

[ell]

Whats the lastest BIOS revision for the 480? mine are 70.00.1A.00.02 and are blue screening in BC2 @ 800/1599/1848 1.025v. (on air, water blocks on the way, waiting for Skinnee results)

[H2O]

Are you sure those clocks are stable? Have you stress tested with the EVGA tools?

[demo23019]

Yea your voltages seem too low

[ell]

yeh your right, after setting it to 1.050v its 100% stable. default is 1.025v! thats low compared to some here ? dont really want to push clock further until under water, the heat from these cards without blocks on 'em is going straight into my tfc triple rad sandwich destroying my nice i7 temps! These things run ridiculously hot

[OliverM84]

GTX 480, W3520 @ 4,2

[NapalmV5]

stock cooler

[Systemlord]

NapalmV5 I would like to see a GTX 480 reach 1GHz core clock, now that would truly be an exciting achievement!

These GTX 480's overclock like champs even though they run pretty hot on air! I feel that if your going to invest in (2-3 way SLI) these hot cards one really needs water cooling to get the most out of these GTX 480's!

[NapalmV5]

alright systemlord ill give 1ghz a try @ stock cooler

[OliverM84]

NapalmV5 I would like to see a GTX 480 reach 1GHz core clock, now that would truly be an exciting achievement!

With chiller, no problem.
