Ok prelimenary testing with the
GTX 680 SC.
i7 950 4.0Ghz OC
Base
Core 1134 maxed
1237.5 Mhz
Base
Memory N/A - had not saved maxed - I'm showing min stats in GPU-Z screen shot.
Max Temp 69C with 85% Fan Speed.
3DMark11 1920x1080 P9617
Now some "off set" observations:
With my previous GTX 680 I scored
3DMark11 P9456 with higher off sets +125 / +110 / +200.
Funny how with less off sets on the GTX 680SC I scored higher
3DMark11 score 9617 at +110 / +75 / +100.
It seems that the 'off sets' for every card can vary and doesn't necessarily dictate how well your card will dynamically over clock itself. So we really shouldn't be stating our 'off sets' when we report to the club our scores but rather - Core & Memory min/max stats instead.
I will agree this is something we need to stop stating as it's causing much confusion for those newer to the over clocking that come to the club thread to learn.
If we stay consistent in stating minimum and maximum Core & Memory Mhz we will eventually figure out what kind of dynamic over clocking is going on behind the scenes.
Lastly, we will acheive higher Core clocks when EVGA releases the BIOS Fan Unlocker for the cards. Right now reaching 85% is limiting us from true potential.
Well I'm off to Frag in BF3 and go maximum settings in Crysis 2 testing. Poor me.
