GTX 780 Owners Club

Went from a 680 to a 780 phantom (standard), can you guys give us an idea of where to start on the clocks?

Using PX I guess we unlink temp and power, put power to max and temp to whatever you want, I'm temped to max at say 84 degrees.

Seems like you get the most from upping the core, does the mem have much impact and what's a realistic start for both?
 
Hi,
I just got the MSI 780 TF-OC but when i try to enable windows8 functions in the motherboard bios i get some GOP bios warning telling me this card isn't windows 8 certified; anyone know how to fix this?

What card you upgrading from?

Can't imagine it would matter which drivers are in there currently as long as put the right ones in after.

No it does not matter was just checking prior to installing. Its one massive card have to move some of my WC stuff about for a good fit. But its stupid fast and not even touch the OCing yet :D

On my msi ge I have +150 on clock and +100 on memory. That is moderate overclock you could start with.
Anyway, please let us now how your phantom is clocking, I am tempted to buy one.
 
Its nice to see Shadowplay is here at last, albeit only in beta right now. I was testing with it in BF3 last night on my 780 and it worked really well. Virtually no frame rate drop and really nice quality MP4 @ 1080p, decent compression as well.
 
How does a benchmark-stable overclock translate to game-stable? I assume I'll have to knock a bit off, but I can't access the internet on my rig atm so can't test it for myself. Is there any way of estimating?

Currently looping Heaven Valley at 1189/3499 without artefacts (so far). I've been up to 1202/3602 for single runs - thought I'd start a bit lower for loops.
 
Does the KFA2 GeForce GTX 780 EX OC take a full cover water block? Can't find it on ek cooling configurator. I believe it is reference, can someone confirm?
 
So current settings are full power, 84C temp target, +200 core, +100 mem. Haven't really tried to push the mem yet.

So compared to my overclocked 680:

680 (+120/+400)
Batman AO: 33/94/61 min max avg
Heaven 4: 981

780 Phantom stock
Batman AO: 48/102/71 min max avg
Heaven 4: 1347

780 Phantom +200c/+100m
Batman AO: 60/113/79 min max avg
Heaven 4: 1565

So to clarify (thanks Suarez) that means the core is 1254 and mem is 3105

I checked with PX, does that read correctly?

Yeah it's just when quoting your +100 figures etc each 780 has different start out clocks, for example a KFA HOF with +100 would probably put it in the 1150 core range whereas a reference 780 with +100 would only be around 1050 core if you get what I mean.

Nice core clock that, is that without any voltage increase?

Yes no volts, I haven't had long to test so I can't guarantee this is a gaming stable overclock, but also it could go higher as well as it hasn't crashed on me yet.

Mem I haven't touched though bar a token +100 so definitely more to come from the mem.

My Heaven score with 1254/1801 was around 1638. See if you can beat it :)

That's my utter max though. No more in the tank at those clocks even at 1.212V.
