Wow now that is a sexy card...

Something Nvidia should have down with the reference design.

D,

Hahahaha, that last pic is amazing. Is that to resemble it venting out the hot gasses the card produces?

MasterOC · 18 Jun 2015 at 09:33

You appear to have too many cards there, I'll take one

It's getting recased and upgraded in next few weeks. I'm waiting for cablemods to get back to me to see if their kit will fit the Seasonic 1000w plat psu. No reply yet

GTA V using default fan profile - top card hit 83 degrees with bottom card hitting 74. Fans reached 60%.

Cards boosted to 1250 but regularly went back down to 1100.

Using 1-1 profile - top card hit 70 degrees with bottom card hitting 64.

Cards boosted to 1265.

This is with the front panel off and ambient temp quite low. Only played for half an hour and am off to bed now.

Hmm, that's odd. My cards boost to 1290Mhz at a minimum and stay there. Some games and benchmarks have them at 1303Mhz.

Temps max at 83 degrees as we know on default fan profile. Your temps look rather accurate for the cooler type in SLI I think. Do test it with the front panel on, see what happens then please.

Strange that yours aren't boosting as high. Have you tried the Witcher 3?

I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth waiting for a Classified. EVGA apparently don't bin their chips, but Gigabyte does for the G1. People are posting really nice ASIC scores on overclock.net

The Classifieds and Kingpins are binned, since they're made for lots of OC'ing under water and LN2.

What is considered a good ASIC score these days?

70+ for air cooling. Lower is better for water and LN2

Got my Pali Reference Ti at a stable +250 core + 500 mem. Giving 1467mhz boost! Custom fan curve to ramp up a bit more. Not going over 70 degrees. Really need to get another one.

Can anyone recommend me a safe overclock on a Superclocked Reference EVGA? Apologies for the noob question.

Just take your time and keep on nudging the clock speeds. You should be able to crack 1400Mhz with ease.

MasterOC · 18 Jun 2015 at 11:56

I'm banging straight into the power limit @ 1440 , dips to 1400 depending on scene , power limit only goes to an extra 6% , will have to wack a new bios on :/ these @ 100% havnt broke 65 , fsr better than my 980 SOC coolers ! That would eat 91 @ stock if temp limit and time was left . They are hair dryers above 60% however

( fired trike extreme btw )

Lower is better for h20? Why is that? I would have thought the higher the better?

GPU-z basically reads off info burned into the chip at time of testing, and for some GPUs like 79xx it seems to be more or less true. But NV GPUs are a different story, which is why you can get senseless numbers like 104% quality.

IF ACCURATE, and if the ASIC% means what TPU says it means, then the higher %, the lower your voltage needs to be to hit stock speeds, and the better it will undervolt. The lower the %, the higher your default voltage to hit stock speeds, but the better it will overvolt--but you will also need to water cool it to keep temperatures safe.

70-79% is about average for 79xx series and 78xx series apparently.

For other GPU series GPU-z gives you nonsensical % anyway, especially for NVIDIA GPUs which apparently use a different scale than AMD GPUs. They might fix this for future versions of GPU-z.

As someone said above, you can't compare percentages between different GPUs, only within the same GPU, due to different scales for different GPUs.

Straight from GPUZ. My two cards are 69% and 73%.

Huh. That's interesting. Will mean then that with overclocking on water you'll need to be able to fiddle with the volts.
