Graphics 2 x EVGA GTX 580 Classified 3GB HC's arrived this morning :D

Neither is the one you currently have Doesn't have to be the EVGA version. Other brands are available

 

ya but EVGA are the standard to be beat

 

I will only buy EVGA in the future

 

I buy based on price, performance and warranty.

In that order. No brand loyality here, only avoid if have a bad experience.

 

Im Jelly of this guy

 

All that for a 1080p screen...

 

haha I noticed and a $130 case.

 

Plus all that noise and mess

 

Yeah. I thought that a big part of water cooling was about keeping noise down when going for big overclocks.

1. He did not overclock

and

2. it was noisy as hell

But he could just say I'm jealous... and he'd be right

 

The rate you guys buy this stuff makes me forget how much it's costing... :-(

I just thought, maybe i'll ramp up my attempts and get a cheeky finance with a xigametic elysium and 580 buy now pay later. Think again. No. No. No. You're all mad. (but I'm jealous of your mad ;( )

 

Right I've finally had time to do a Heaven run

pics of the rig



and heaven run OC @ 1Ghz core

 

Cool, how many volts did you chuck through it, and what was your CPU OC?

 

You need v2.5 mate.

 

Yes, I just noticed he was running v2.1.

 

Yeah, wasn't there a bug fix in 2.5v? My frame rate dropped massively when it went into the dark section, will update and run again in a minute

*checks vcore*

1.18vcore or NV VDD

FB VDD is 1.59

PEX VDD is 1v dead

and CPU was at 4.5Ghz

 

Unfortunately that problem still seems to persist.

 

Yep, you will see your GPU usage just drop to nothing in that section, and that's where it knocks your min FPS.

 

I'm gonna have to try this again tomorrow as I'm absolutely shattered now, and heaven is now giving me a lower score, despite same clocks for CPU and GPU's, that doesn't sound normal does it?

 

How much lower are the scores?

Your min FPS does seem particularly low.

 

about 600 points I think, but the mini FPS are alot higher, up into the high 60's
