GTX580: 1.025VID: 950/1900/2300: stock cooler: guaranteed?!?

[NapalmV5]

Just got 2 EVGA GTX 580 Superclocks with VIDs of 1.08.




Kicking along at 900/1800/2200 so far @ 1.125 with zero issues. Damn nice scores and clocks everyone.

not bad for 1.08vid thanx!

My 885mhz SLI GTX460 was barelly keeping 30fps AVG at this res. 2 GTX580s nearly stock and WAY better.




These pics are with Xtrem Tess and 4x AA/AF.

nice! 5760x1080 monitor where art thou?

nice! what vid?

[Boulard83]

Im using 3 benQ G24 HD.

These 580 are really some beast. Waiting the EK block to be avalaible in canada.

fook 3 monitors gimmie 1 5760x1080

actually id rather prefer 2:1 as 3:1 is too wide

after a seventh look ok 3:1 will do

[NapalmV5]

Napalm, thx for the test numbers. Those 580 are total monsters!

How about some Stalker or Metro at Max settings? Besides AvP, Crysis, GTA 4 and Battlefield BC, I think those are the most taxing games for regular gpu use.

stalker cop: ssao enabled+high quality at these settings very taxing

580 vs sli 580

Thank you Napalm! I actually ended up at 910 core but these cards do not have a drop more in them even at 1.138. Pretty wild stuff

nice! what vid?

Using 1.05vid! Got a water chiller coming in december hopefully should hit 1000+ with a proper 580 block!

Just been playing metro 2033 and the frame rate where amazing averaging about 57FPS all setting max out!

[bigKr33]

I got my replacement gtx 580. I'm having an issue though, it seems when I'm pushing the card past 930-9xx+ I get a frame hit. Why would I have lower frames? I'm not artifacting at all either.

[NapalmV5]

improved sli performance

thanx!

i gotta ask what vid? hows gaming stability @ default clocks anymore issues there?

try higher vgpu or gpu temp is too high try on max fan

So far the card is solid at stock clocks. It hasn't crashed at all in gaming (crosses fingers)

I've done max fan, and my temps are good. The highest voltage I can go is 1.138v and that's what I have it set to for benching. It runs 960mhz on the core with no artifacting or stuttering of any kind, but the mem was still set to stock. My vid unfortunately is worse (1.050v). I'm still thinking of just doing a full return because I'll be honest I was really bummed out when I saw the vid.

[NapalmV5]

but you said all this vid thingy is just a myth

why be bummed out its not a bad vid its doing 960 thats good

just increase vgpu a bit more (set to 1.150 an itll drop to 1.149 after apply) via afterburner to get mem higher and your good

[bigKr33]

Yeah i know its a myth. Just remember though i think we would all be as cheery as you if we had a chip as good as yours. Still though I can't complain, I'm very fortunate to even own such a card.

How do you unlock higher volts? I would like to give 1.150v a shot with 100% fan speed, still at 85% over here.

[NapalmV5]

if it makes you feel any better nothing special about my chips they just 1.025vid thats all

look around lucky others got 1.000vid can only dream of 2x 1.000vid id be doing 1ghz on stockcooling thru all tests

but im happy and thankful with what i got

dude im still on stock bios you think someone offered or shared any special bios with me nothing

look for "afterburner 2.1 beta 4" easily attainable

Same ere same performance with 263.09 drivers!

[Nazu]

What do you guys think. Would a oc'd Q6600 be able to keep this card going?

[bro20000]

It would but be very cpu limited!
