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

[p3gaz_001]

I'm using EVGA Eleet to adjust the voltages and that only goes up to 1.14375V.

So far I've got 962core |1200 mem @ 1.1375V.

Even at max voltage I can't seem to get 1000MHz core...

1ghz on the core is not "usefull" ..... are u lc your vga?

This is what I've got so far at MAX voltage 1.1475

if u are on stock cooling, i suggest you to lower that voltage.

this is what i get, not so far from you, 985<989mhz http://3dmark.com/3dm11/959068

Man I was happy with 990 at 1.213v , yours is mad.

not bad. but i do not like running my gpu with full voltage. i get the same speed with less voltage.

Are you sure the reference PCB VRMs can handle 1.2V? I thought 1.15V was max for those. That's what EVGA's Fan Unlocker bios opened them up to.

DCII's 10 VRMs should be able to handle 1.2V though.


MSI's 580 Lightnings 12 GPU VRMs can handle 1.3V with their TFIII air cooler.

I noticed that your driver is different from mine, 8.17.12.6760 NOT FM Approved. The difference between our scores is way to high to attribute to 4MHz

As of now my card is stock cooled, I'm not running the card at these settings 24/7, its just for the benches.

Is 1.1475V really dangerous?

well at the same time i do not really think that the difference between our scores is only because i'm using 267.60 drivers, it doesn't make sense!

1.1475 ? i personally don't even use that voltage for my 580 water cooled at 990mhz, the max voltage for my 580 is 1.150, as i said , i did not tried even once.. so i suggest to use that voltage carefully..

well can you do a ride of 3dm11 with 267.60 drivers with the same speed to see if something changes? (my rig is offline, so i can't bench to proof this drivers question)

Finally found the driver and as expected my score is on par, I even OC'd a bit more to match the Core speeds.



While p3gaz_001 has an overall higher score if we look at just the GPU scores mine is 7297 Vs p3gaz_001 7302 well within reason.
