From this (with my mild 24/7 OC)
To this (with stock settings)

As you can imagine, I'm pretty darn happy :) The MSI Twin Frozr IV seems to idle quieter the Direct CU II, but under gaming load, they're both pretty similar... Which is fine!



Trine 2 is immense :cool: Thanks for the tips! I'll keep an eye out for Tomb Raider, and install Crysis now :)

Ah I still need to try trine 2!! Gregster recommended it to me for 3d a while back and completely forgot about it!
 
Got a question..got my 780 sli setup running yesterday and been messing about with precision x tonight. Noticed that went my system boots up and is idling, the gpu clocks on both cards sit at 324 mhz but then ramp up to 1019 after a few mins.. 0% gpu usage though on both cards. It never returns to idle speeds though..is this normal?

Certain programmes (eg browsers like google chrome) will keep the cards running at full (non-boost) speed. If you shut down all programmes they should downclock again.
 
got my Gigabyte GHZ edition this morning, already happy going from 660ti SLI to this card. Improvement in Rome 2 by 30fps (due to rubbish sli support i guess) and also for example ive lost about 15-20 fps in sleeping dogs benchmark but the scene inside the house.... It seems smoother. Or am I just going insane?

I noticed that my bench scores dropped when running the memory too high probably due to error correction so I have lowered it. Memory oc didn't seem to do much anyway. Seems like any 780 tops out around the 1150 mhz mark give or take unless you go for the classified, hof and lightning versions. That's already a whopping overclock from stock.

That's what I keep forgetting, you can't put 150 offset on the core on a heavily pre clocked card unless it's one of the models already mentioned but you can on a vanilla card. I had more fun overclocking the Asus card but I prefer the Gigabyte.:)

Edit: Seems I had a slightly unstable core but now all games and benches are OK. Memory overclocking wasn't the reason after all so it's back up to 7ghz.

Clocks are now 1176 mhz in boost, 1.187 volts and 1752 mhz/ 7 ghz on the memory giving a better valley score than the previous overclock of 1202 mhz core boost without memory overclocking.

Pondering overclocking my GHZ card to. I noticed in one screenshot you used EVGA then later on used Afterburner, any reason for this?

Update: So after spending the last hour dabbling a bit in overclocking the GHz Edition, the GPU clock barely can handle a 2mhz increase while the memory has easily hit 500mhz. So at current my base clock is 1021mhz and the memory is 1752mhz.

about a 7fps increase over the standard ghz edition clock. any advice on my overclock from forum members would be appreciated.
