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

[Linuxfan]

Hi everyone,

I am going to buy 2 GTX 480s. I found two different brands. One is Gigabyte and other one is Asus. Price difference between them is 56 dollars for each. Gigabytes price is the lower one. Both are brand new. Are there anything specific with Gigabyte's product quality? I never used a Gigabyte product before. Should I buy Gigabyte or just go with the Asus?

Definitely recommend whichever is cheaper, Gigabyte and Asus are both top notch brands.

Some fun with my 470's:



All on AC, they can more

good afternoon guyz (local time) ... glad to join this 3d ... let me gather some screens of my 480

awesome score, awesome clocks and awesome temps!

What's your case? Is it a Fractal? And what's the room temperature??

Congrats!

is there any possibility to raise gpu voltage over 1138 on MSI afterburner??
testing only GPU for now, 904MHz is full stable on 20° ambient

I have a MSI, it is possible to raise up to 1.5V, if not mistaken ...

Is your card water cooled? If you want more Vcore voltage you'll need to mod your BIOS to allow for up to 1.213v using Nibitor 5.7 and then use nvflash using a bootable flash drive. Then MSI's Afterburner will show the extra voltage adjustability.

no, it's stock cooling, asus vendor
i heard sth about VID voltage on nvidia inspector and this is what I found
Lov Voltage VID 1,037v
High Voltage i VID 1,087v
what does this mean??

Example --> Voltage - [0.987V]

Have a look at your Vcore voltage in Inspector where the blue highlighted voltage value is, this is your VID and it never changes! Your card will drop to idle voltage but never below unless you under clock.

sorry about that

this is my new score.... no need to get 900mhz on gpu or cpu @ 4.4 .... is a question of "good" and "correct" oc... numbers don't lie

27256 (physix on)

Thanks for fixing the picture sizes!

Nice scores and overclock with only 1.1V at 873MHz core, it took me 1.125 to get 880MHz core and 4200MHz memory. You should be able to hit 900MHz easy!

thanks i should be able to hit 900mhz? i would like to... i've tried some benchs @ 900mhz... like unigine... and it works.. but if i try 900mhz on 3dmark & co it will crash

i'm wondering wich voltage & memory settings i have to use for a full gaming use @ 900mhz ...

Forget about the memory clocks until you find your max GPU overclock, return your memory clocks back to stock and find your max GPU overclock. If it still crashes in 3DMark time to bump up the voltage.

Do any of you guys have some nice charts showing performance increase due to your overclock in a game setting, i.e. fps increase? At the moment I don't notice any game needing more frames, but if the difference is big enough, why not.

actually i think that my psu is goin to hell... it doesnt keep my 1090T @ 4.2 and 480 @ 880mhz ..... 3 years of full duty ... must change psu ....

voltage ?

thanx
