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

[NapalmV5]

3D11 works now with 580 Sli

just ran again @ sli/265.90 and still the same results as yesterday

whats changed? mind sharing how you got it to work?

First:
Add an SLI profile:


Profile "3DMark11"
ShowOn GeForce
ProfileType Application
Executable "3dmark11.exe"
Executable "3dmark11cmd.exe"
Executable "3dmark11demo.exe"
Executable "3dmark11workload1.exe"
Executable "3dmark11workload2.exe"
Setting ID_0x00a06946 = 0x084000f5
Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000003
Setting ID_0x1033cec2 = 0x00000002
Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x1033dcd3 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x02c00005
Setting ID_0x209746c1 = 0x04280001
Setting ID_0x20ebd7b8 = 0x00000020
EndProfile

Second:
go to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Futuremark_Corporation\" and search for a file named:

user.config

Then open it in a text editor and search for the line:

Code:
<setting name="GpuCount" serializeAs="String">
<value>0</value>Then change that 0 to 2 (or more if you have a 3 or 4 way SLI)

Don't change any other LINE!
Save it.

Run 3dmark 2011 and have fun.

you have to go higher than 1.100v+85% fan for 900+

you have to touch memory (1100-1150mhz) if you want higher performance higher core voltage helps with that too

~1.125v 900/1800/2200 safe 24/7 stuff

then again "safe" is in the eye of the beholder

good luck!

Thanks! Will give it a go now.

You are always welcome NapalmV5
Nice to see this scores going!

i didnt get a chance to post tri-sli crysis warhead per request so here it is and will have crysis when the new drivers arrive

[miahallen]

I'm in the same boat. My vid is 1.050v, and between 925-935 is where its stable. These gpus don't like going over 75-80c at these speeds it seems (atleast for me). Water I guess is the way to go.

24/7, mine doesn't seem to be able to do more than around 850/2200....needs 1.1V for that, I tried 875MHz for a while, but I was getting artifacting even with max voltage.....(yes, my fan is locked at 85%).

I think Napalm just got REALLY lucky

[kang-China]

very good ,have a look.

Very nice result man! Can you please try Cargo Flythrough map in Warhead bench with this settings and post screenshot? It seems for me that this map is a lot heavier than others.

[Roch]

How do these look?





900/1800/2200/1125mv.

[NapalmV5]

@Roch nice

so you comfortable with 900/1800/2200/1.125v 24/7 ?

Very nice result man! Can you please try Cargo Flythrough map in Warhead bench with this settings and post screenshot? It seems for me that this map is a lot heavier than others.

thanx man! yeh this map uses about 250mb mem more than ambush but its no issue i ran it several times just to make sure and im getting these constant results

how does this map compare? i have no clue.. let me know

[NapalmV5]

this is the first time ever i benched re5.. same clocks: 4.8ghz 980x/900mhz tri-sli 580

variable/fixed @ max 1080p

Very nice FPS you can get with this one mate!

But why you tested it in 32-bit (64bit box unchecked)?
64 bit version have better textures LOD and managed memory a little better. I think you use unpatched version of Warhead without 64-bit support.
This official patch enable 64-bit support for Warhead.

For compare, this is my result on heavy overclocked 5970 and i7 930 (all air), in 64-bit mode with 4xAA. Slightly old drivers, with new average i think will be close to 50...


You can try bench one more with my settings, i cannot use 16xQAA anyway

[Gaul]

@ kimofil = allow me....compare with 6850 CF def

yes unpatched

before i patched to 64bit aa 4x vs aa 16xq same results @ 32bit

avg fps should be at least 90? but its under 70

It seems like AA level don't matter for tri-sli.
And yes, 64-bit FPS a lower for me too than 32 because of better LOD i think.
Anyway, min FPS a LOT higher

Nice one for stock 6850's, Gaul! But i think with patch in 64-bit mode FPS will be a little lower (about 35 avg i think).


Did a retest with much never drivers and CPU/GPU on stock clock.

exactly min fps is higher so should max+avg but oh well i guess theres always hope in the next drivers


this is another first ever bench for me: dmc4

4.8ghz 980x/900mhz tri-sli 580/max 1080p

Yes the drivers is always the case....
Nice looking fps in dmc4 man

miahallen..

I just had a galaxy 580GTX that was air stable @ 950/1900/2100 (almost had a stable pass @ 970 but crashed during the canyon run 3dm6)..1.142-1.150...I sold that one and have another one coming tomorrow "monday"
seems maybe you got ahold of one that wasnt up to par. this one would run solid stable @ those 950 speeds, and volts 3dm6, Unigine and gaming...

Im gonna run this new one air for one day, then water on tuesday when the EK block gets here..Im hoping to get one equal * fingers crossed*

Hi guys,

i cant belive how fast this card is!!!

on default clocks and my cpu at 4.2ghz i only managed 6100 points on 3dmark 11

here is my card pushed to the max on stock cooling ( maybe a lil headroom on the gpu clocks :P )

card is running 1.15v with NVIDIA Inspector, with more volts and better cooling 8k on a all air setup should be within reach

edit: oops forgot the link - http://3dmark.com/3dm11/168105

[NapalmV5]

shigs nice what vid?

[Shadow0001]

That's weird,i'm using the Nvidia inspector tool on my 3 GTX580's,all 3 from Gigabyte,and all 3 of them have a different base Vgpu's???


1.063 volts on GPU 0.
1.025 volts on GPU 1.
1.050 volts on GPU 2.


Anyhow,what would be the max recommended on voltage and clock speeds while keeping the fan on the cards at the auto setting and not sounding like a vacuum cleaner?....
