[un]official GTX580 Overclocking Thread

[p3gaz_001]

this is my 580 "new" score, not so far from the previous, but ... check the voltage :P

and this is my second build, some minutes after the second 560TI died.








holy crap. none of this screen is big enough to read! v.v

Nice one

HT on or off? Vcore?

[NapalmV5]

thanx!

ht on always (check out the 3dmark links)
4715mhz (205x23)
ram @ 820mhz/6-6-6-18
1.60vcpu
1.21vgpu
1.65vram (default)

clocks+everything you see above ^^ 24/7 not the highest it can go

Man that's awesome congrats

You run a 980X at 1.60v on water 24/7? Man you have a pair lol

he is most definitely not scared of the volts

lol i just dont listen to the myths out there concerning cpu deaths/voltages/etc

he is most definitely not scared of the volts

why be scared voltage is our friend not our foe

3SLI power

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

3DM11...


SLI score and some bench picture later

for comparison cole2109's 2600k @ 5.7 and 3way sli 580

and heres bf3 at the same cpu/gpu clocks

[Asmola]

Asus 580 DirectCu II with EK-FC580 DCII 1GHz 1.15v stable. My new 24/7 clocks!



.. And here max clocks to Vantage:

[Zipelgas]

Sorry for the offtopic, but what do you guys use to test the stability of your cards OC mem / gpu ? I have been runnin the OCCT tests for mem and GPU not sure if its the best thing to test the stability with or not , it sure gets the card super hot and stuff and is handy with its error report, so anyways any ideas would be helpful

[aussie-revhead]

So guys which brand/model 580 clocks the best? Do any 3GB ones clock well?Im on water if that helps.

[NapalmV5]

^the gigabyte reference (blue pcb) can clock just as well as the 1.5gigers^


anyone out there willing to share a voltage unlocked afterburner or voltage unlocked 3gb reference bios ?

im sick and tired of this 1.213v limit

anyone ?

what u mean friend ? last time i tried that on one of my vid 1.0 cards mem wont go anymore above 2200...artifacted and guess that went wrong now i sold it and get another 1.0vid and both cards do easy 981/4600 at 1.163. but wont take them above too scared that happens the same

im on air, never passed 66C on them

cheers !

congrats on those clocks man

doubt you can game at them but for what i see maybe you can do it at 980@ same vgpu wich is amazing

cheers !

Have you got any examples to share??

As Andres said I have a ref 580 that I bench above 1.213 on water but its not happy for gaming any more with some artifacting and crashing, so beware. Mine is on water, never been above 45 degrees cranked and loaded.

glad it worked out

i need more voltage being on liquid cooling 1.213 is not all that much.. no artifacts here just not enough voltage

next week ill be getting a bigger radiator/an extra pump so temps will be around 40-45C at full load as is so ill be able to push even further

examples? i got results of 3 of them in 3way sli @ post # 377.. bf3 @ post # 383

[aussie-revhead]

Cool, what volts for 975mhz? You reckon maybe benchable at 1ghz with more volts?

from your other post Im guessing they are maxed at 1.213 right?

a true cards on water act total diff even mines at 66C wich i dont dig that temp for me is more...with waterblock will be amazing but cant afford them each WB for each will cost me 200 dollars put here

[andressergio]

i play at 900/4600 @ 1.075 on air and temps playing BF3 all ultra 1920x1080 never goes up 60C playing for hours and ambient its 25C

cheers to all

Your GPU fans must be at 85% or 100% for sure !

24/7 stable already been doing some benching @ 1ghz.. when i clock @ 1000/2300 i get much better performance than what you guys see above @ bf3 ^^ but in order to sustain 1ghz and that kind of performance it needs more juice

1.213v @ 975mhz.. i hope you guys take into consideration that this is a 3way sli.. each card can do 1ghz easy by themselves.. even 2way sli

the extra waterblock.. bunch more 90s.. and the radiator into the loop ive lost much (2/3 if not more) of the pressure and flow i used to have @ 1.5gb 2way sli

thats why im getting another rd30 pump for the radiator to separate into their own loop.. still contemplating whether to get a bigger rad but if i do ill be able to do even greater loads/clocks

that sux for less than 400$ you can get 3x wb shipped next day here in the us

i can only suggest.. come to america!!

well looks like ill have to do the hard vmod.. i only asked cause i didnt want to remove the cards and go thru all the painstaking steps but ill have to once again

@NapalmV5
With your 3-way 580 SLI and a 2560x1440 resolution, you can run everything ULTRA or even 2x MSAA. Why are you having it on HIGH?

[NapalmV5]

high? you mean post aa ? yeh looks like i forgot to turn it off.. oh well that probably takes a couple/few fps here and there

i prefer higher rez i hate aa.. ever since its infancy its been crap
