Max temp under load was 84c with the fan inaudible. Love the cooling on this card.

This is an AWESOME graphics card. Nvidia have really pulled it out of the hat this time. I'm just going through all my installed games right now turning all the settings up to max! Just had a blast on CoD2 @ 1920x1200 4xAA 16AF. Game is smooth as silk and image quality is better than i've ever seen. Default AF quality is fantastic.

This card overclocks really well so everyone will have fun with it. Lets see some comparison benchies :D

Worth every penny in my opinion.

I was a bit conservative on the memory o/c. Had it up to 2100 before stopping the run and setting it to 2000. Might try to find the max mem clock later. Some reports have it going all the way up to 2200 without problems. There's a lot of headroom in the memory for sure. 21000 in 3DMark05 will be coming later. :D

Additionally some people are reporting max core @ the 630 mark. This card does 660 stable but the temps start going over 85c under load at that point. I've seen a few bechies around the web with others getting 650, even on the GTS :eek: 650 is a comfortable clock for me running 24/7. Average temps under load are in the high 70s when running that speed.

Wow. Great results m8. Can't wait to give mine a try later today on the 680i

Will you do a full benchie suite on that mobo? It'll be interesting to see the results. Keen to see your GTX benchies when you have 'em too. Go nuts :D

Is there a reason for using ATI Tool 0.25 Beta 10 and not Beta 15? Im just assuming that Beta 15 will work?

No reason, just clicked on the link which said latest version. Probably a cached page. It works fine though. Now that it supports nvidia cards the software could do with a change of name. :p

ok, how did you get those results in 06 ? :)


Heres mine with exactly the same rig except for the ram timings which shouldn't make that much difference...
