No worries mate, cheers for replying in the first place.
Yeah, i'll just wait and see, it's being shipped, so too late to change order anyway. Got a good deal off o'clockers, £226 delivered with some free games thrown in. Cheers to Phil in the shop!

Hey there, came across this thread and decided to run the benchmark
My system is stock, Just build (haven't got new monitor yet so can get the res to go higher)
Its a i5 @ 3.30Ghz
Gainward 570 phantom @ stock
Was just wondering, is this score normal ?

GPU 840mhz
Shader 1680mhz
Memory 2000mhz
Volts 1075mv
I have noticed others mentioned 1050mv stock but the POV reports 1013mv stock.
Hardest card I have had to get stable overclocks from. Not too keen on the brand but it was a bargain for £180. Must be an early GTX 570 or has poor components. Fitted a Zalman V3000F so runs pretty cool now too.

Gainward GTX 570 : standard clocks out of the box but have been having a tweak with afterburner.
Currently at 920/1840/1930, vcore : 1.075. I think my cpu is causing a slight bottleneck judging by the Sandybridge scores.

what are the best settings for OCing a msi 570 frozer III and what program shouldi use for the settings
Not much difference when i bump my evga 2560mb 570gtx up by 100mhz 
stock clock
OC
Stock clock benchmark
OC benchmark
I just realised max temp was 55c during stock and oc benchmark :O anymore than 830 i had minor artifact. Cant change the voltage

yeah - its faster
but reaches VRAM buffer more often - at which point you get a noticeable stutter
noticeable in games and in benchmarks like Valley (even though it doesn't seem to effect the score)- suddenly get a "jarring effect" then back to smooth - I don't remember this with the 480
horses for courses - but raw processing grunt wise its quicker - overall experience less smooth than the 480
MUCH cooler than the 480 though - in games 65C or so even at max overclocks - vs 85s-90s on the 480
I still prefer the 480 - but this will do for now till I decide to do what next
its annoying - as if this particular card had 1.5gb like the 480 - or even better 2gb - I think it'd stay current for quite a bit longer yet

I'd not tried FXAA - thats a good idea - tanks
idles at 37-38C -so lower than the 480 did
thing is that although temps seem a lot lower in games than the 480 -its more than that - as the fan % speed is also not at 100% - so we're talking 65-70C games at max overclocks but fans only at say 55-60%
wheras the 480 used to ramp almost immediately up to very noticeable speeds

I use FXAA more often than any other type of AA, and I find it very good. The performance hit is almost zero.
I think you were a little unlucky with your 480. My temps seem to be better, and although noise is subjective, I can't say I've found it a noisey card at all. Maybe there wasn't a healthy contact between the heatsink and gpu?
Anyway, those temps on the 570 are excellent. Should do you well for a while, and with FXAA, maybe for a while longer?

one thing I did note - I think anyway - on my 480 SOC the "thermal pads" between heatsink and chips were very very thick
they are much much less noticeable on the 570 - in fact I can't really tell whether pads have been used or not
I wonder if its perhaps a refurb- and on refurbs they don't use thermal pads
that said - I couldn't find a mark on the card, even on the PCI-E connectors etc - so it didn't look like it had been used
it still draws a lot of power from the wall ! - although quite cool - it likes to drink electricity at load ! I was >400W in furmark, vs my PC normal idle is about 110W
I'm wondering if I can make 1k core ...

I was seeing earlier almost 500W being drawn from the wall in Furmark !! - max temp in Furmark after 15 mins or so was 83C
I found that the clocks above 980 or so were not quite stable in Far Cry 3 etc - was getting the odd random crash
I also found > 950 that mem seemed more important than core (perhaps a bottleneck) - so actually got best - and so far more stable results of:
960 (core), 2300 (mem) - which gave Valley of 1515
