Msi 770 Gtx Twin Frozr. What drivers should i use to be safe?

[litwicki24]

Hey. So a few days ago i bought Msi 770 Gtx Twin Frozr . But i dont know what drivers i must to install. We all know that 320.18 WHQL had bad opinions about damaging GPUs. Even Beta i am scary to install. What now to do? That situation with nvidia drivers are very messy now.
Maybe that drivers from CD? But they are still beta......


Finally , maybe i will try that drivers from CD what they came from with my 770 TF box? If you ( MSI ) give me that drivers on cd with card, so they must be safe i think? If card will be crashing on drivers from cd , then i can RMA GPU?
Any suggestions?
I want to be safe, and don't damage card.

Thank you.


By the way.

There is a problem. I dont have a DVD writer at that moment. I am trying download from official MSI site , but i get this:

"The requested URL /files/downloads/nb_drivers/nvidia_32008_win78_v64_vga.zip was not found on this server."

What now? Can i use they from Gigabyte site, all will be ok? They are 320.08 too the same like came from my CD?

They dont mess with my card, because i have Msi 770 Twin Frozr , while they are for Gigabyte 770 with other clocks.?

I tend to get the drivers from NVidia's website mate
http://www.nvidia.com/content/global/global.php
Don't think it'll be a problem to use GIGABYTE's drivers, but I'd still get the ones from the NVIDIA website
I'd say avoid the 320.18 WHQL for now too, get something like 320.08 (which I think are on the disk)

I am worried , why my card is boosting max 1136mhz . No matter what temps i have. Like 68 or 75 i get the same boost. With fan like 44% and 1250 RPM. Is this normal or not?

I know peoples with that card and they just got higher boost.

Here are temps:
When i hit 78C on Crysis 3 i have :67 TDP
When 71C on BF3 i have : 57 TDP



Here is:

Max boost 1162mhz max. I have 1136mhz76C max in Crysis 3 with auto fan on 44% , not too high?

Those temps are fine dude, GPUs tend to get hot. And they can handle heat quite well.
And it all comes down to sillicon lottery. Not every chip will get the same clockspeeds.

Anyway i am worried. I know 3 ( examples ) peoples with the same card, and they had the same boost on 770 TF - 1162mhz.


I am only had 1136mhz. Maybe something wrong is? Maybe because of drivers? I had 320.080 installed.

 

[howies]

34mhz will make no difference in performance i assure you

 

[litwicki24]

Today i played Metro Last Light with SSAA 4x and get maxed 79C .With 47-49 % fans and RPMS: 1350-1410

Its not too high?

Ok guys, i have now really last question and i dont disturb you ok? Please answer, and we just can close topic.

I want to know about only one thing now and that's all.



My stock boost sometimes lowering to 1084 mhz when dips 80C . Its not bad? Default BOOST CLOCK in GPUZ are : 1110mhz.

In Metro LL sometimes i am getting lower boost ( reason - temps ), than guaranteed in GPUZ .Should i expect always that minimum boost from GPUZ ( 1110mhz )?
.What you think? Something is really wrong if sometimes i dont have that "minimum" 1110mhz boost like GPU-Z said? This BOOST clock 1110mhz should be always guaranteed or not? OK but i must have some expectations on new bought card, yes? Card must get some clocks, that newer goes down. I pay money for that speed what say specification yes? Please explain me last time.
Gpu default is : 1059 mhz ( i had always higher than this values in games )

But my framerates are always stable.


Cheers.
