No doubt when the GTX 660 gets released, you will swop again
If the 660ti doesn't come close to the 7850 overclocked speeds I see no reason to buy one. By the time it comes out anyway I hope the GTX670's would have come down in price.

quite possibly, considering watercooling the 580 tho

Just had my msi tf3 through and got it installed. Has a ASIC of 80%.
Is it too noisy compared to your previous OCed 7850? Which brand did you get?
Soldato
There all PNY afaik, as far as noise goes there bloody noisy when they spin up but I knew that.....
Spin up at initial boot? Or at gaming temps? I cant find PNY 580 reviews, but reference is reference, PNY only contributed a sticker to the card as I understand...
Is it much noisier than Oced 7850 then?

Are the msi tf3 cards supposed to do that dust spin thing on first start up as i dont think mine does. Also howd i extend the ranges in after burner?

gpu-z shows my card at 91.9% chuffed to bits with that. I have the HIS iceq x
Soldato
nice, my his iceq x was 92%, but it clocked no were near as high as my 75% msi PE

Got mine set at 1200 core, 5800 memory, not tried higher yet. Running heaven GPU is at 62 degrees with 70% fan speed which is quite loud. Not sure cooler up to the job of going higher without the noise being too much.
Soldato
bout the same as what i ran mine at but with less fan, seemed to hit a wall shortly afterwards, managed 1310mhz on the msi with 1.3v
Here are a few results from my quick play around this evening.
Stock bench under Heaven;
Downloaded Trixx and upped the core to 1079mhz. Haven't touched the memory or voltage.
This is with an Asic quality of 78.9%
I think i'll be able to get a good bit more out of it. Haven't pushed the fans really and the noise wasn't noticeable at all. Heard more of the "whine" than anything else.

Your running it windowed instead of full screen?
just tried TRIXX tonight over ASUS utility. i really like it, except the VDDC stays constant even when the card downclocks itself. with ASUS, VDDC would drop to .8v or so when there was little load. is there a setting in TRIXX to get the same result? i would think it be a bad thing to have VDDC at it's max all the time, especially if the max is more than stock for most of us.

So i have a XFX double D edition, it's not a reference card and I'm having trouble finding a tool that unlocks voltage control. Any tips?

doesnt asus gpu tweak unlock it? click on advanced then it should unlock voltage adjustment

I can't seem to find the advanced button
