Gigabyte 580 GTX OC special edition ... problem!

Hi was yours running with the higher vid when you bought it? or did you have to flash it using the BIOS off MSI's WEB site?

indeed
If that's the case. Then I may be giving the 580 a body swerve altogether!
I think it's just the pre oc'd cards that suffer - te standard ones are fine

Mine came with a newer bios already installed when I recieved mine: NV255MS.122 default mV 1.025, 800/1600/2048 stock clocks.chaparral said:
0.962 is power saving clocks, check the actual clocks on the card, then use kombuster or some other intesive utility the voltage will jump to 1.025, mine is the same.

I have the same BIOS as you

Post a link to your GPUZ . . . . .
Yours is a Gigabyte GTX 580 SOC right? will most likely have higher stock clocks, so can't be the same bios, mine is an MSI anyway.

Mine's running at 1025 by default (msi twinfrozr), at 800mhz. It came like that out of the box.
GPU-Z says its at 1005, MSI afterburner says its at 1025 (under-load).. I assume its at 1025..?

GPU-Z giving out wrong reading, I reckon MSI Afterburner is correct, mine is the same.StonedPenguin said:Mine's running at 1025 by default (msi twinfrozr), at 800mhz. It came like that out of the box.

O'well... looking like the MSI 580 twin frozr is at least running with a half decent vid. Think that will be on the shopping list once it comes back in stock.
PS. Re-installed my MSI 460 HAWK and that's running fine, Crysis2 for an hour and no issues.

Welll... decided in the end to get an MSI 580GTX Twin Frozr. Came today and it appears to have passed three runs of Heaven bench mark, which the Gigabyte would not at stock volts (usually fell over during the 2nd run). Early days testing wise, I'll give it a good thrash over the next few days and see how it goes.
The MSI card appears to have come with a stock vid of 1.038v
Now I wonder if the GPU voltage varies from batch to batch? or have they taken note of the number of complaints when the card was first released (where a lot of folks had a vid of 1v and the card was not stable)!?
Does not appear to run quite as cool as the Gigabyte card.
MSI card 36C idle and 68/70C under load. But quite a bit warmer up here at the moment than when I was testing the Gigabyte card.
I can't help noticing as well, that the default fan profile does not appear to be as aggressive as on the MSI 460 Hawk that it replaces.
PS. Guess which is the 580 in the picture below!

Tough one, but I'm going to say the one that doesn't say 'hawk' on it
Nice card, now see if you can get a decent OC on it.
