KFA2 GTX 570

Have had this running at stock now for 12 months. Given that OCUK now stock this I think it might be time to dip my toe in the overclocking waters. Anyone else got this card and what have they achieved with it?

Is MSIAfterburner still the best tool to use?

Yes use afterburner.
Expect 780-850 core and around 4000 memory, should give a nice FPS boost.

Great cheers Gibbo. Do I need to up the voltages are leave them alone?

Schizo · 5 Apr 2012 at 07:41

ive had this card 6 months and love it,runs very very quiet and plays games without breaking a sweat

might dibble at overclocking it a bit.

Let me know how you get on schizo. I am a touch nervous about it as I have a coolermaster silencio 550 which is acting like an oven. May strip the sound dampening foam out..........

i was going to ask the same question lol.

bit nervous myself but my case is huge so air flow isnt a problem for me.

Hi there

Any results?

Yes increasing voltage shall help to obtain higher speeds.

Schizo · 5 Apr 2012 at 10:23

how long should i leave kombuster running after a overlock ?

Schizo · 5 Apr 2012 at 10:32

5 mins in

Schizo · 5 Apr 2012 at 10:37

10 mins in.

all good so far

Masterdeadly · 5 Apr 2012 at 10:50

Temperatures are pretty high.

Might want to up the fan speed just a little more. Go into settings and create a custom fan profile.

subbytna · 5 Apr 2012 at 11:05

Try and keep the fan temps below 80 - change your afterburner fan profile to increase the fan speed to get rid of heat faster. Also check your voltages.

Volts 1100 > 900core / 1800 shaders / 2071mem
Had to lower mem clock to keep in stable, kombuster test 4hours with fan set @ 70% Max temp 78c.

Clocks also stable in BF3 with a gd cpu ect ect ..

Also have a profile for volts 1063 . core > 855 /1710 /1998.
All works a dream on my Gainward

Now wondering should I go sli or 6***

Same beef no gravy dude :cool:

also put the same clocks on zotac

welshdragon · 6 Apr 2012 at 10:39

That's looking good schizo. What have you managed to get stable? Any chance you can post you volts/clocks for me as I can't see them on the picture clearly.
