Need your GTX 580 OC settings

Theocnoob · 03-02-11, 03:31 PM

Sorry for making 3 threads about 1 card. Anyways,

I'm having trouble getting 950Mhz on the core stably without having to increase voltage significantly. About 1.09 or 1.1 vs 1.025. 900Mhz is stable @ about 1.04 to 1.05

Any ideas? The extra 50Mhz really makes Metro 2033 run better but it crashes after a few minutes. It isn't a temp issue I checked that already temps are quite low. GTX580DCUII (Asus)

RAM @ 4008 (stock) while I find stable core speed/voltage

EarthDog · 03-02-11, 03:37 PM

My man, what settings would help you? This isnt a CPU with several variables to change. its a GPU. raise clocks... stable? No, Add volts, Yes, push forward. Although the similarities with a CPU are that not every one is the same so what someone can pull on their 580 doesnt mean yours will. take the training wheels off n00b!!!

MattNo5ss · 03-02-11, 04:04 PM

If your temps are in check, I'd keep raising the voltage.

Marshmallow64 · 03-02-11, 04:14 PM

I don't know if the problem occurs on the 580, but over at overclock.net there were many people that highly recommend not going past 1.1 volts, or there 570 would die. Here's a link to a thread on another forum that has a ton of numbers you can compare to with voltage. Hope it helps!

This is not a problem on the 580. The 580 has different (more?) VRM's.

Good find on that link for his voltage!

The 570 only has 4 VRM's opposed to the 580's 6, which is why the 570 can be killed from voltage but the 580 will be fine. Like someone else said, if your temps are ok keep pushing the volts.

Overclocking the 4xx series is tricky though, idk if the 5xx is the same, but for me with my 480, the clocks I run at right now are 850/2002@1.1 . If I dial the volts up any further, the card will crash even though GPU temps are fine, and I can only speculate its because either the VRM's or ram modules are getting too warm. So theres a sweet spot when overclocking these things, sometimes too much voltage can cause just as much instability (dangerous instability at that) as high clocks.

It may just be OCP kicking in.

Come on dude. $500 GPU. If I kill it, that's $500. It's not like it's a budget card.

EarthDog · 03-02-11, 05:11 PM

I hear you screaming, I do. I guess I was confused then. The OP, as written, appeared to be asking for cookie cutter settings or average clocks. But now judging from your reply above it seems like you are worried about that voltage killing it?

Sorry if I misunderstood...

MattNo5ss · 03-02-11, 05:12 PM

Here's how I look at it... If the card comes with a BIOS with voltage control up to 1.212v or whatever it is, then Asus must think that's safe enough for the everyday user. If they didn't think that, then they would have lowered the max to prevent RMAs. If you do happen to kill it with 1.212v, which I doubt will happen, then just RMA the card. I see it as being Asus's fault since they gave you the ability to use that much. However, if you would have modded that BIOS to get more voltage and killed it, then I think it would be unethical to RMA.

Sorry if I misunderstood...

Well vcore and clock speed go hand in hand. The max ubersafe vcore will determine the max stable clock after which I will determine the max stable RAM. I learned the step by step approach at this website www.overclockers.com

Since this thing is right next to me fan speed is also a consideration. WSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH drowning out games kinda sucks.

EarthDog · 03-02-11, 05:15 PM

Ok......

I guess bottom line is what Mattno said, but 1.1v from a stock 1.025 is not going to kill the card and its under warranty. Enjoy your 950c/1900/???? clocks!

noob, grab some headphones and let-er rip.

I can hear it though the headphones with the fan over 80. The fans on this thing do like warp 9.

Earthdog- The warranty explicitly mentions that USING smartdoctor to OC your card VOIDS your warranty... even though smartdoctor comes with the card. That's what my software told me.
With this in mind if I do pull a VRM fry by accident I'd like it to be a less obvious one than a more obvious one

, given that I am "not overclocking this card".

freeagent · 03-02-11, 08:25 PM

My Asus does go a bit past 1.2v, I havent takein it over 1.1 yet heh.. It must be safe right? This card is the coolest running card I have ever had the pleasure of owning btw

Edit:

But my 465 wont go past 1.08 so I dont know..

Just got 7118 in 3dmark 11. Apparently that's not too bad.

Had to do 1.1v to do it... ...

Trying to find something that's happy and above 900Mhz but below 1.1v ran this at 950 4044

mxthunder · 03-03-11, 10:46 AM

Shoulda gone with a reference cooler! From what you say, it 'sounds' like it would have been quieter than the direct CU II.

IDK if it helps or not but I have a vanilla reference card, clocked at 880/1760/2020 with 1.063 Volts on the core.
If I increase Vcore to 1.075 I can go over 900, but I only do this for benching purposes.
Temps stay under 75C at all times.

I got 6203 with some beta drivers, Ill have to re run it later

Im on whatever driver Nvidia had up as the latest non beta about five days ago.

Is your 580 in your gulftown machine? You should be able to out score me. I benched w/bloomfield @ 200x20

According to a review I read most 580s will do up to 880 on stock voltage.

I really like the extra performance and my temps are very low but I can't help but wonder if 1.1v is over the top... .075 extra volts is pretty significant...

(Earthdog, your line about me worrying to much goes here)

freeagent · 03-03-11, 12:57 PM

No I have a 570, sorry
