guess people like to waste their money on decent monitors and not play in 1080...

Has anyone managed to crack 850mhz core ? Without running into the Fermi power monitoring wall of fail ?

Do you not bother reading past your own posts, a guy on the first page hit 920 core...

I would take a quality 1680 monitor over a cheap 1080p TN panel any day.

1680 on a GTX480 is insulting to the good people of Nvidia. Get a nice Dell U2711 and stretch its legs a bit.

Wow not much overclocking going on guys. This is getting worrying.

You are trolling, suggest you stop.

Why are you getting arsey Raven ?

How is that trolling ? I'm looking for overclocking numbers and I'm posting in the ****Official GTX580 user reviews/benchmarking/overclocking thread**** and wading through your spam.

FF14 bench @ 1920

RavenXXX2 · 11 Nov 2010 at 23:35

Great benchmark, does it not even give an FPS average?

Rroff · 11 Nov 2010 at 23:38

Give it a rest jigger.

Thank u r5gtt nice bench @ a relevant resolution!

R5GTT · 11 Nov 2010 at 23:47

Yes stock in the one above now here we go again with a sneaky overclock. Core clock increased to 826mhz and shader 1652mhz

Temp is now up from max of 78 degrees to max of 81 degrees

jigger · 11 Nov 2010 at 23:53

You have to crack 6k.

R5GTT · 12 Nov 2010 at 00:57

Yeah It would do it easily

but for now I'm back to stock speeds to keep things simple. Some more benchies for everyone

Stone Giant 1920x1200, default settings (high tessalation)

Street Fighter 4 bench

Resident Evil 5 Bench (Highest AA Setting)

Just cause 2 "Dark Tower"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a comparison here is my GTX 295's results with streetfighter at a lower res and lower AA setting

The 580 at these lower settings averaged 259FPS

Palit Sonic at 782/4008 downclocked.

FFXIV Benchmark @ 1920

Sorry can't supply screeny, I clicked on the screen at the end and it closed down.. Too late for another run..

I did notice a score of 5999 (I'm about 99% sure of this) and a load time of about 13200 or so..

During the run I noticed my temps hit a max of 80 deg, fan speed @ 59%.

Omega · 12 Nov 2010 at 01:46

Nice benchmark results R5GTT. On a decent res too

Seems like a worthy upgrade from a 5870.../ponders...

Soya · 12 Nov 2010 at 01:58

Hmm pondering about my Xmas upgrade, get another GTX480 and go SLI with my current GTX480 or sell it and get 2 GTX580s? Seems from reviews that 2 GTX580 hits the CPU bottleneck.

{SAS}TB · 12 Nov 2010 at 06:33

460 SLI (875/2010) for comparison

Hmm, the eye cannot see above around 30FPS so why does one need to go into the 100s? Just curious.

Not sure if serious...........Or stupid?

snip.

That's a good result.

One thing that still suprises me with the card is just how quiet it is. At idle with the side panel off I couldn't even hear it. Under load it doesn't whine like any other card I've owned. This is quieter than my 295, 280 OC, 5870. The other thing is at stock speed, max temps of 78 seem quite good and the temp soon drops back to the 36 degree idle when returning to the desktop.
