680 massive OC on air

Kingpin earlier today giving the announcement:

Cherry picked.

Anyone can overclock high, it's just how high the hardware is willing to go.
 
But power target is locked to max 132%

He got his showing 200%

Also he has his fan speed on 95% where Precision X will only go to 85%
 
My guess I'd he edited the bios with a hex editor. Some pretty hardcore stuff, let's hope he shares his secrets so lesser mortals can clock their 680's to full potential :-)
 
Kingpin does a lot of custom modifying. I believe this was a means of demonstrating what is possible on the gpu. So hopefully we'll see a new version of precision x soon ;)
 
I think the aftermarket cards come with allowable higher settings - I saw the overclocking page on I think it was the Asus 680 and that had something like 160% as the max instead of 132%... even then it only managed about 1250 on the OC so still kinda pointless

He's running@1260MHz last I saw.

Fantastic scores, but how many 680's did they try @evga labs to find a fantastic clocking cherry picked core?

Remember AMD's high clocking BD publicity stunts anyone?

How many folks get one of the 'used' ones then?:eek:

It's the same old story, it's a lottery with oc'ing.
 
erm, 1058 is stock clocks, so 1058 x 1.28 (28% increase) is 1354
so his OC is more like 37% (37.8 to be precise)

this is the kind of OC I would expect the Hall of Fame / Zotac epeen cards to be able to get, but then is an extra 10% over a reference card OC really worth an extra 20-25% cost?
