well u got lucky with one yes thats the protection im saying mines at more than 1,244 goes crazy

Thanks mate!

So I stay with the stock bios (1,175v) at both cards!

Also i am thinking about selling them and buying two gtx 680's lighting...

Do you thinκ that i should sell the cards that i own and buy two gtx 680 lighting? Is it worthy?

How many mhz can a gtx 680 lighting do at core full stable for daily use with stock cooling??

inmo u alredy have very good cards that you can play a lot of games unless you run 2560x1440 native but even so i use my games downsampled to that resolution and my SLI pumps a lot of FPS

i would stay like that and run +500 on mem and 1280 core daily wich is plenty and MANY cards CANT do that stable

just my 2 cents

Good luck mate !!!

Stock voltage 1300+ and 1280 are both very good GPUs.

I dont think that its worth selling your reference cards for two lightnings, you could actually get a Titan instead for the same cash. The gain from the reference cards to the lightnings wont be much, the lightnings are still dependent on getting a good GPU, and may or may not reach 1350+ Mhz (really not going to matter much over 1280 Mhz).

I was thinking of picking up a KFA2 / Galaxy SOC and selling the reference one I got, but I decided it wasnt worth it for something like 70-100 GBP loss. Not worth getting a second for SLI either as I could just get a titan and sell my 680 instead, but that still costs too much (would have done it right away if the Titan was 200 GBP less).

Thank you guys!

I decided to keep my cards, i am pretty happy with them!
I am playing at 1920x1080 and even one of the gtx680's @1300mhz oce'd is enough for solid 60fps at that resolution with maxed out settings, let alone both of them!

Basically, the second gtx 680 was needed only for CRYSIS 3, where only one card was not enough for solid 60 fps!

Also,i am not going to sell my cards and spend additional money to buy one GTX TITAN, because 2 gtx680's oce'd in SLI are way faster than 1 gtx titan!

good decision mate !!!

[Demo]

Recently used the kepler unlock and I have my boost voltage at 1.20v and the fan target is to keep the GPU under 68c when gaming. Would 1.20v be safe enough? Using a reference design card.

Thanks! BTW how are you guys getting huge scores on the physics and combined scores? I only get about 9k on those and I see everyone getting like 11-13k

the IVY at 5GHz is killer maybe is that ? what are you runing ?

Ok, so the scores I get is pretty normal with my 4.5Ghz ?

was looking at the result browser at futuremark and I see a lot of people getting 11k with a 2600K @ 4.8Ghz while I dont get even 10k.. probably my CPU has degraded?

Dangerous - Lightnings are awesome if you bench, but for gaming I'd stick with your cards as they are really nice clockers. Overclocking mine to the max from stock (when I had lightnings) didnt change my FPS that much so youre better saving your cash

You have right mate!
I stay with my cards, and i am going to spend money when nvidia released the 7xx series graphic cards..
For now I am pretty happy with my cads!

At what clocks mate dont getting even 10k points on 3d mark 11's physic score?

At 3dmark11 with my 2600k oc'ed 4,9ghz for daily use, i am getting ~12100 points!
Here a run with my system, with 2600k and p67 mobo!
The cards works pretty well at 1280mhz 24/7!
Ι am waiting now for new cpu's "haswell" from intel , and buy a mobo with pci-e 3.0

4.8Ghz giving me about 9.2k in Physics score.. dunno whats wrong...

What other apps can I use to check for CPU performance, maybe my CPU has become faulty ?

Reverted back to 3.4Ghz and I get 6,800 from Physics test. Dunno if thats normal values or what.

Has anyone noticed the EVGA precison overclocking program version 4.0, doesn't hold the overclock settings when you exit the program or is that normal?

guys i having a nightmare with my GALAXY SOC GTX680...i bought the Maximus Extreme 5 and cards get SO SO sticked togheter that fans touches the PCB, of course i have a coolermaster haf X tower case and its not the same as a torture rack, when you put the cards horizontal they tend to bend down so when i put the HARD SLI BRIDGE happens this

http://imgur.com/PHJ6ADJ

as you can see the HARD SLI BRIDGE TIGHTENS them and the upper fans touch the other cards PCB wich sux, so im forced to use Flex SLI...but as NOONE tought on a flex 3 way PCIe bridge i have to do a twist to connect the three...

**EDIT

after testing 3 hard bridges 3 sli the ASUS one i inserted slowly and where the connectors that touched the edges of the fan...so the final product will look like this



and yeah first cards runing 1306core 1.244 load +700

gamming in SLI top card reaches 78C to 80C max when loads 88%, i guess when i have the third card the charge distributes and i have less temp if not i will run the 3 at stock boost wich is 1287

cheers !!!
