580 GTX Price is up....

Pff, jealous... When you'll see tests this afternoon you'll see that my score is legit
Not at all.

Simply trying to figure out how..

because once you hit 300W the card actually throttles... Nothing anyone can do to stop it.

You must have a decent card that can do those speeds and volts without reaching 300w?
 
prob Fake clocks or he not loaded the gpu with them

Do you just hang around in the nvidia threads looking for negative things to say and add wherever possible? Does it really pain you that much to even consider that this card might just be anygood?

Really, im sure this guy is legit why wouldn't he be? You shouldn't judge other people by your own standards possibly?

Anyway, on topic, results look nice, does anyone actually know when these things will be on sale?

As Pinto points out he hit 276 watt with a massive overclock in Vantage, and Vantage is very hard on the GPU.

Indeed, I was referring to that post.

With all that extra voltage and still having room to play with in terms of wattage, I can't help but feel all this scaremongering over the tdp limit is unjustified?

You may be able to round it with a different BIOS but surely the limit is there for safety reasons.
 
920mhz is not too bad. Its look a bit better.
Still needs more testing because Vanatage doesnt make use of any tesselation so power draw wont be much.

Pinto needs to provide more stuff such as
fan profile how hot did it get, does it arftifact or not or was that a suicidal run....

edit:-
Also many rails 12V rails run above 12V.
Mine is 12.5V.
Its going to depend what kind of a core u get. You could get a real gem that might hit 1000mhz or a dog that doesnt even hit 850....
