Beauty of a card, where are the benches?

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

im getting there

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

My clocks on my 680 are 1.25ghz core, 78c max temp fan only at 30%, and I have yet to bump the voltages.

Congats on the purchase, enjoy the card.

AFAIK, you can't bump voltages. All you get is a power level slider up to 132%. I got enough out of my card to break 10k in 3dmark 11. Will be watercooling eventually but dont know how much that will help clocking as temps never went above 70c.

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

What? I can bump my voltages to 1.215

 

[hmmblah]

Do they actually change?

Do they actually change?

They do for me. And my temps get hotter.

Weird, Kepler auto adjusts the voltage up to 1.21v. That's max and from what I've read a reference card can't override this without an epower board. There was a really cool article from kingpin and the mods they did to the card.

Edit: guess what I'm getting at is there is no direct voltage control. If you up the clock and set the power level to 132%, the card will adjust voltage up to 1.21v to keep it stable. If you set the voltage manually, it is ignored.

This is all new to me too, so I could be reading this all wrong, but this was my understanding.

All i know is when I play my game I never see it hit 1.2 unless I do it manually.

Grats on the card, what games are you playing on it and how do you find the performance?

I cannot wait to get mine watercooled hopefully at the end of this month and really start clocking it.

My MSI does +175 on the core and +300 on the ram with no adjustment to the power slider in MSI Afterburner.

Nice! Max I can get is +170 core and +225 on the memory with +132% on the slider. It's weird though, if I leave the core alone I can clock the memory up to +450. Memory clocking has little effect anyway though.

... surprises me that we don't have a "Hardware Pr0n" section to the forum - emphasis being on purchases arriving and box opening etc ...

Could be anything; mice/keyboards/laptops/cards/mobos/monitors/whatever.
