[un]official GTX580 Overclocking Thread

[sniper_sung]

HTPC? Hmm... I don't know... I doesn't seem powerful enough for HD movies.

Yes it's my HTPC I wish it could serve me until Ivy Bridge.



Sadly I still suffer from lag spikes / stuttering while playing Minesweeper I think I'll have to overclock it more to see if it improves... If not, I better off upgrade some parts with it... But now I'm short of cash seriously

Here is my first try with my reference GTX580 @ Dry Ice... Vcore 1.20

I don't mean to laugh but that is hilarious! Tri-sli and 1FPS in minesweeper NVIDIA drivers FTW

Waiting on 3 of these

[glide 1]

Inno3D GTX 580
960 core
2200 memclock
1.15v bios max in afterburner
2600k @ 5.2ghz

3dmark11


3dmark Vantage


not bad for probably 1 of the cheapest 580's around.

[i_max2k2]

Got Zotac Amp Edition cards, one card with vid 1.0v and another with 1.038v, and both cards can do 3d Mark 11 @ 950/4200 @ 1.15v (completely stable @ 1.175v), and came for $860 after Mir

the card is a zotac reference.... pretty better than my previous evga reference ....

Thats a sweet overclock, are u on water? My evga reference was also trash, couldn't even get to 950 on core with 1.213v, even their hydro coppers aren't hitting good clocks from what I have heard, and their classified's aren't binned either, wonder what has changed, the evga 280 SSC's I had both seemed like they could do better then most vanilla's.

[p3gaz_001]

yes i'm on water, the first good evga i got was able to close any bench with 1.002mhz 1.150v ..... the second one, was faulty, sent back to evga, they sent me back the same one. OK... (long and sad story.... ) hardly disappointed , i bought another one, was a nice crap 940mhz with 1.125, and even by pushing the voltage to 1.138v wasn't usefull to pass 940mhz .. finally got tired of evga and i bought this zotac wich does 990mhz with 1.125v. and 1012 mhz with 1.150v

[NapalmV5]

^^^ nice

3x gigabyte/reference 3gb 580s liquid cooled

these being vanilla efficiency sucks so over the next days i will perform a few hard mods to increase efficiency

Was thinking of buying some but then thought I should just wait for next series to come out instead. Hopefully it doesn't take to long

sweet setup, I have almost everything similar, and I dint know that you were running your cards on air, I'm planning to put the cards under water, but right now I dont need overclocking, most games play fine even with both cards running around 700mhz, I'm actually trying to undervolt the cards a bit, still waiting for games that will push the setup

[m4gg0t]

i recently got the MSI GTX 580 lightning extreme and i was able to run the core at 925/1850/4500, but now i no longer can run havean, 3dmark 11 with those settings. even with volts up to 1.15v. but i can run them at 900/1800/4500 with 1.065v no problems. going to be getting another lightning extreme for SLI soon.

thanks man

i run them at 900/4400 at 1.075 and i play downsampled to 2560x1440 so they are always pushed

[lowfat]

Anyone w/ a Lightning ever mess w/ the overclocking switches on the card?

[m4gg0t]

i thought those setting are for DICE and LN2. they overvolt, remove the cold bug, and over current protection. im scared to mess with them.

[cole2109]

3SLI power

2x EVGA, 1x Gigabyte OC
-Evga @ 1030/2330Mhz 1.2V
-Gigabyte @ 970/2265MHz 1.2V

Vantage...
GPU score





3DM11...



SLI score and some bench picture later

[Demo]

So far I still have the crappiest card LOL

1.125 just for 900Mhz core and 1.155 for just 920Mhz

thank you my friend! nice setup you got there! cheers!

well after output capacitance modded/increased now its running at 975/2400 at the same voltage and avg fps increased to 180 in heaven v2.5 per above ^ but min and max fps is still disappointing.. will have to recap the whole input capacitance per my 1.5gig 580s.. not done yet ill keep shootin for higher

[Asmola]

Max with these 24c "summer temps".. (CPU @ 24/7)
