Yes. The cap has been a characteristic of the bench since the beginning and it makes sense to keep it (even though you're basically limiting the stock performance).

Okay, let's go with: - No ramdisk or MFT software allowed - 220MB/s XP startup cap - Benchmark must run on default web browser (Internet Explorer, any version) and default audio/video codec - Browser enhancement tweaks such as disabling/removing features, plugins, make-up etc are allowed - Audio and video codec tweaks are allowed. Powertoy is, as GUI for the registry, allowed Also, let's make an agreement that we come back to this thread in 3 months (9th of November) and evaluate if these new rules work. If turns out the benchmark is pretty much 'unsaveable', we can still remove it after a couple of months. Given the outcome of the POLL, I'd say these are the two only options we have.

10k flat, awesome!

Yeah, the variety of hardware used in the comps is crazy. But I like it!

Short Intro As promised, the OC report from the second new GeIL memory kit: Evo Corsa. The most high-end flavour of the Corsa series comes in the following packages (PR copy-paste): - 1866MHz CL9-11-9-28, 2GBx2 Dual Channel Kit | GOC34GB1866C9DC - 1866MHz CL9-11-9-28, 4GBx2 Dual Channel Kit | GOC38GB1866C9DC - 2133MHz CL9-11-9-28, 2GBx2 Dual Channel Kit | GOC34GB2133C9DC - 2133MHz CL9-11-9-28, 4GBx2 Dual Channel Kit | GOC38GB2133C9DC - 1866MHz CL9-11-9-28, 2GBx4 Quad Channel Kit | GOC38GB1866C9QC - 1866MHz CL9-11-9-28, 4GBx4 Quad Channel Kit | GOC316GB1866C9QC - 2133MHz CL9-11-9-28, 2GBx4 Quad Channel Kit | GOC38GB2133C9QC - 2133MHz CL9-11-9-28, 4GBx4 Quad Channel Kit | GOC316GB2133C9QC Pictures of Box and Kit Test Setup Nothing special about the test setup. Just a normal Sandy Bridge build. - Core i7 2600k - GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD5-B3(*) - Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W - WD Raptor - Windows 7 64-bit SP0 - Y-Cruncher - SuperPI 32M (*) overvolts 0.02-0.03V on Vdimm from BIOS. OC Overview Chart Overview of OC test results. Stability was tested with full SuperPI-32M run at ~ 4.8GHz and then verified with a round of Y-Cruncher (0,1,6). Same findings as with the Enhance Corsa kit: there's not that much difference between both benchmarks: it either worked or it didn't. As for voltage affecting this kit's overclocking capabilities, it seems that this kit can handle higher voltages a bit better than the Enhance version with the sweetspot being around 1.7-1.75V. All in all a decent kit.

I fully agree with Hyperhorn. Similar spots, but minor differences indicate that these are completely different results.

I think BIOS versions are different, but I'm not entirely sure.

They will be removed from the competition. Now.

That's coldslow. Are you sure you flashed the right bios?

SOF! Ehr, I mean, FAIL! Did you test the different FW versions? Any change between 1.8V Vmem and higher? That 1400 card seems quite solid ...

Correcto. New runs, fresh scores.

They shouldn't be prohibited. What kind of error do you get?

Okay, think I found the bug. Test again please

That tool is the GPUTweakIt and I'm not using it. I prefer the simplicity of Inspector over the colorblast of Tweakit. 3-Way ... maybe. Need moar LN2.

Heaven bug fixed !!

I updated the first post. There are loads of new BIOSes

3D11 is so addictive.

Heyo all, Thanks to the boys at ASUS Benelux, Rogier and Milan, I was able to pick up a Matrix GTX580 from the ASUS office the day before I left for Assembly. Upon SF3D's request, I brought the card with me to test under liquid nitrogen. Oh, before I continue I would also like to thank the boys from Jimm's for making the event possible as well as Marcus from ASUS Nordic for providing plenty of hardwares allowing us to do our thing! After a first session, I must say that I've got mixed feelings about this card. For sure, this card has great potential and some of the features of the card are very, very handy and should be adopted by other vendors, but the lack of software support can make it quite difficult for people who are not connected to get the card running at high speeds. After seeing Stummerwinter's 1625MHz result, I found new hope that it will be able to match the Lightning (although there are much more higher clocking Lightnings). SF3D tried to convince me over MSN that the Matrix card is one of the easiest cards to bench under LN2. Of course, I'm so stubborn that I didn't want to believe him. But, after my first session I was quite amazed that he was indeed correct! You just need the right tools and software to get it to run so easily. So, here's what you do: 1. Solder on the back of the PCB to disable OCP and enable higher PWM frequency The picture is pretty much self-explanatory. You can do the soldering without removing the backplate of the card! 2. Flash the card to the 580 coldslow BIOS Next, you have to flash the card with the coldslow bios for the GTX580 Matrix, which can be found in the coldslow/coldbug bios thread here at hwbot Link: Coldslow and Coldbug VGA BIOS collection - HWBOT forum 3. Prepare the card for extreme overclocking This is quite important. Before you flash the firmware of the card, you must prepare the card for extreme overclocking and make sure you have LN2 available. The firmware updates so it will give you 1.5V Vgpu and for sure you don't want that to be pushed through your air cooled card. If you update the firmware on your air-cooled card, you are just stupid and absolutely don't deserve to get any replacement card. So, if it happens to you, I hope you get a refusal and head-smack when applying for RMA ... if you catch my drift. As for insulation, this card is again quite well designed. You can use the backplate as pressure tool to push the insulation to the back of the PCB. At Assembly, I just used 3 double layers of paper towel in between PCB and backplate. It worked perfectly. Just remember to remove the paper towel when you're done, as the condensation water will enter the paper after you're done. 4. Update the firmware of the card to 1.5V/1.3V/1.8V Vgpu/Vpex_vdd/Vmem This fourth step is what I perhaps hate the most about this card. To have a really easy bench session, you need to update the firmware to one that has elevated/unlocked voltage, but the firmware seems to be distributed only to those-who-know where to get it. It took me a long time to find the right file (and someone who was okay for this to be updated), but in the spirit of Hipro5-open-sharing, here it is. As I mentioned in the previous section (but doing it again because it's so important): "If you update the firmware on your air-cooled card, you are just stupid and absolutely don't deserve to get any replacement card. So, if it happens to you, I hope you get a refusal and head-smack when applying for RMA." https://hwbotdownloads.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/tools/matrix_xoc.rar - run soft.bat to update your gputweakit software to allow higher voltage - run stock.bat to return the firmware to original setting - run fwup1.bat to update firmware to higher voltage settings Once you run the fwup1.bat, on the next reboot the voltages will be fixed to: - vgpu = 1.5V - pex_vdd = 1.3V - vmem = 1.8V There are other firmware files floating around, but those come with higher Vmem (1.9V or 2.0V). Unfortunately, I only had the 2.0V for the event and it gave me quite a lot of problems to push the memory beyond 1250 MHz. I was told the 1.8V version would allow for better clocks ... I'll try later this week. With this firmware update, though, overclocking the Matrix is pretty much reduced to temperature and frequency control. Easy benching for sure ! 5. Use Nvidia Inspector to finetune voltage and frequency. The last step is start to overclock. ASUS have their own GPUTweakIT software to push this vga, but I would recommend to use Nvidia Inspector. First of all, because it's a lot less Taiwan-ish (colors, colors, colors!), secondly because I'm used to Inspector and I'm a conservative overclocker so I like to use what I know. Thirdly, because I don't understand 5200MHz memory (you will understand when opening the software) and fourthly because it's a lot easier (imho) to finetune the Vgpu in Inspector. Basically, I update the firmware and then set the voltage in Inspector to 0.963V. This way, I still had finetuning possibilities to 1.15V if necessary, which would yield me 1.6V+ on the core. For me it worked quite well, but I can believe others would prefer other software. 6. Break records (or die trying) like a pro My result: Massman`s 3DMark11 - Performance score: 11049 marks with a GeForce GTX 580 Stummerwinter's result: stummerwinter`s 3DMark11 - Performance score: 12488 marks with a GeForce GTX 580 Clearly I have some work to do. I will order some new pro-skills online; hopefuly I have enough funds so I can update my pro-level to something like Stummer's level. I think it will be difficult More coming soon! //edit: in conclusion: Loving the ... - soldering pads which are accessible without having to remove anything - pwm heatsink is not connected to any other heatsink -> usable for ln2 - firmware = super-relaxed overlocking - backplate is perfect to use for insulation pressure Hating the ... - firmware not public? are they scared people would show good results ??? - gputweakit memory shows ddr speeds x4. I don't know what 4800MHz memory is. I do know what 1200 MHz memory is ... - so far, it doesn't seem to match lightning speeds (which is hitting 1600+ even on retail cards)

I'm uploading a bunch of BIOSes later today. Beta's aren't as openly available as on lga1155 :-/

1450 would've been possible too. I'm sure with the right mounting or thermal paste, this card will do 1500+.

Looking into it.
