what do you get on heaven with the same settings @ 1680x1050? My max overclock with 570's is 110fps. Stock is 94.

Testing now.

Same settings, at 1680x1050.

Creeping up on stock 570 SLI thats for sure

Need some help please, I'm a noob when it comes to these things.

First time buying a Nvidia card and decided to get a new Windforce 3x.

I just ran the Heaven benchmark on following settings..

@ 1680x1050?
4x AA


result was

FPS:
68.3
Scores:
1720
Min FPS:
10.6
Max FPS:
135.7


Is that any good?

My other question is how do I OC the card? Do I do this in the CP under device settings or do I need to use other software? I've also noticed that there is no Windforce software when I installed the card?

The settings I have now say..

Graphics clock - 1411 mhz
memory clock - 3284 mhz
processor clock - 2822 mhz

If somebody could just give me some steps on what I need to do that would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Should be higher, what are the rest of the heaven settings? AF and Tessellation?

What is your processor?

I think at those settings a stock 670 should be getting 75fps. Try restarting heaven and run again with same settings, sometimes it can give low fps for some reason which restarting fixes.

Batman: Arkham City

Settings*:

*Physx setting is 'normal'

Stock run:

Run at 1350/7128

Its also worth noting that during the benchmarking power consumption only peaked at around 58%. I would think for the substance of this bench I could probably push 1400mhz.

I'm also getting bad drops at the start of every scene, possibly a driver issue, those drops into the 20's are not helping the average.

Ok I will do that now.

went up a bit..

damn thats a very nice stock boost
1300 must be guaranteed on that card

1300+ is still down to getting lucky. Most people will only get a chip capable of >1250 <1300 MHz on the custom cards.

KFA2 EX OC's stock boost is 1215 Mhz, and mine only OCs to 1250 MHz, along with someone else in this thread who is unable to get over 1250 on a gigabyte windforce.

My 670 @ 1250 / 7000 is matching, and beating in some tests the scores of my 1 Ghz SLI GTX 560 tis.

Make sure your cpu isn't overheating. I don't think heaven would benefit much from cpu overclocking with these settings but you could try that also.

So what tool do I use to over lock the CPU? It's running cool about 40' degrees

Your motherboards bios

Same here. Even at stock the GTX670 is better than my mildly OC 900/1800/4200 GTX560 Tis.

Yea looks like it.

my windforce is also crappy. 1260 and it crashed during unigine scene loop in ~30mins

Still havent touched memory.

 

[shadow_boxer]

Here we go:

1350/7128

...snip...

Trying to nudge it higher as power usage still isn't going any higher than 85%

Brilliant score. Seems to be very much a lottery even with the custom cards!

 

[bhavv]

I wouldn't really worry about the extra 100 MHz, 1250 is still stupidly fast on these.

But we have a windforce that's wosre than my KFA2 at last .

Without touching the men I can do 1260, for max memory ocs I have to use 1250 GPU.

Reference designs don't give you a guaranteed 1215 Mhz out of the box, and I don't think many of them will reach that high.

Is this normal for a stock 670 boosting @ 1084?

My cpu is running @ 4.4

Seems quite low to me, you guys seem to be getting 80fps, can an extra 200mhz on the core really net you that much?

I hate benchmarking, I never even get close to people online
