GTX 570 overclocking thread - Page 66

Sorry, had to switch to 1440x900 because my good monitor went 'missing' this morning. I will test it out at 1680x1080 and 1920x1080 later when I get it back. For now here are the 1440x900 runs.

Stock run


OC'd run



EDIT-------------

Finally tested with 1680x1050 and 1920x1080, I posed the results in the metro bench thread

Well, tried oc'ing my Asus this weekend but couldn't get it stable at 900/1800/2020 with 1.1v. What's the max safe voltage for the Asus DCII?

I was looking for a good gpu oc guide but with company this weekend I wasn't able to spend much time searching. Any suggestions?

I would say the voltage is fine if temperatures are below 80. It's the settings you can achieve stability at that are what you should watch, because I guess parts that don't have a temp sensor on them, even though the temp in Afterburner or whatever isn't too hot, components inside the card can still be overworked. I was stable at 950/1900/2270 with 1.1v, and temp was max 79C. But after a while I started seeing blue polygons and toned it down to 920/1840/2200 at 1.063v and it's been fine ever since. Basically, whatever will give you safe temps (below 80/85) and allow for no artifacts after playing a while. I don't know about Asus's warranty specifics, but if it's under warranty then as long as you don't flash a different BIOS version then they'll replace the card no problem. I have an EVGA and when I called them for something else, I asked about overclocking and they said there's no way to tell what the settings were at when the card burns out, so, I'm just staying high as I can at 920/1840/2200@1.063 because even if it's doing damage, I'll upgrade long before the warranty is up.
There's no special guide really, they're pretty much all the same. Adjust one setting at a time, once the game freezes turn that setting down one notch and move on to the next setting. Do that for the core/shader and then memory. And each time, either be satisfied with the speeds, or up the voltage one notch and start all over with the core/shader and memory. Watch for temperatures above 80 or artifacts. I'd probably stay around where you are right now if you don't have the card under warranty. Best of luck.

Just signed up on Overclock.net to add my results to this thread

EVGA GTX 570:

OCed to: 865 Core, 2000 Memory @ 1.075

P6637 in 3dmark11

Did a burn-in test in Furmark for 30 minutes, also ran crysis, metro 2033 benchmarks for 2+ hours, and finally played both games for a week 2-3 hours per day each without a hiccup. I tried lowering my voltage, and although I didnt have any issues in benchmarking, I had minor video glitches in crysis. All of which went away with a voltage bump.

Why aren't they selling the 570 Twin Frozr 3 on Newegg, anymore?

Picked up an MSI 570 - reference design

Are new reference cards any better then the first batch?Or should i stay away from the voltage slider

New reference cards are exactly the same as the old ones. They still use 4 phase VRMs for the GPU.

Okay, so no voltage tweaking for me!

Cant wait for my cpu/motherboard to arrive! Ill update once i get it up and running

Currently have 900/1100 memory at 1.08 volts, I have a TF3 PE so I could go higher but I honestly have no need to, this card destroys games at my resolution to the point of being bottlenecked by my CPU in some games. Though out of curiosity, what's the max voltage you guys would recommend on a Twin Frozr 3 GTX 570?

I'm seriously considering messing around with my TFIII; can everything be done in afterburner?
