Sweet! I hope you can push them further with the fix, would be cool to see how far you can get. Will you be adding the fix to the original post? I doubt I'll ever need like 1.8 VGPU, especially since I'll most likely be sticking to dry ice. But it would be nice to know in case I ever use Ln2.

Testing the waters maybe lol

Thanks for help XA, just watercooled the card and it's doing pretty good. Can't wait to test on DICE. Guide & BIOS helped a lot, appreciate it a lot. Here is what I just did on my crappy 24/7 OS

Idk I tried two different volt meter, same reading from both. Yeah the card is in 8x because my 480 with my universal block is in the 16x slot right now. I'd move the 480 but i cant plug it in anywhere else because the tubes aren't long enough lol. I have a tek 9 fat that should be arriving Monday or so next week, I will try to test it on DICE as soon as I can!

Ahh it's actually helping, maybe I did something different than before, but with Ln2 BIOS card seems to scale a tiny bit more. I will try and put my universal waterblock on maybe tomorrow or Friday, and see what it does on water. 1526|2200 this time, no problem. Mem may not need that many volts, just did a quick test.

Yeah my settings are: 1407 core (1520 actual) 1.213v in GPUTweak 8600 mem 1.63v mem in GPUtweak fan speed 100% pex_vdd 1.06v power target 200% loadline calibration 100% vrm clock 1000 KHz It passes firestrike no problem with your BIOS, before I could only do like 1513 mhz on core, it would fail 1520. On stock BIOS without Ln2 switch enable, it was 1.231-1.233v stock under load voltage on GPU, on Ln2 bios + Ln2 switch enable, under load 1.241v-1.242v under load on GPU.

73.8%, around 1520|2150-2200 is fairly easy on air, depends on benchmark though. I will be testing on DICE soon, will see where I get with that. Haven't tried your BIOS from original post yet, I will try and see if it helps any.

Any idea why my load VGPU volts are so high? 1.231v under load @ stock?

Good, I have stuff for my GPU now thanks

Here is one example, I bought a 980 ti recently because my 980 couldn't handle what games I was playing at 1440p. My primary goal for my PC is gaming + browsing internet music etc. But my hobby is benching. I don't have a secondary rig for benchmarking or anything, and I am not crazy rich so I can't go out and buy a 5960x and x99 stuff for top 3d scores. So even though I have a very very good 4790k (5+ ghz ambient in physics tests) I get absolutely creamed by guys with 6 cores and 8 cores, and get almost no points whatsoever. For instance, my top FS score right now without really spending a lot of time is 18.2k or so. But people with 5960x and 980 ti at less clocks will absolutely demolish me and get like 20k+ score. Mine: http://hwbot.org/submission/3065758_lays_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_980_ti_18264_marks Guy with much lower video card clocks: http://hwbot.org/submission/2982834_metallicgr_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_980_ti_18998_marks I would really like to be able to compete in a different type of 3D rankings, like maybe quad core firestrike, six core firestrike, like how 2D is set up. Then I could actually gain points. I know I can do legacy benchmarks, but being secluded from only doing half of the 3D benchmarks just because I don't have $2000 for x99 setup sucks!!

Don't worry buddy, no rush. Thanks for the quote, I'm sure that is close to how much it would cost with DHL. I'll share this thread with some friends and see if anyone is interested. Thank you very much and goodluck with sale

How much would shipping be to zip code 97301, United States? Just curious how much it'd cost me to buy it.

I'd really like different categories for this, like "4 core firestrike madness" etc. Stuff where people can tweak and tune to get best scores for each platform perhaps. I think it'd be loads of fun for people that may now have 5960x, or other high end stuff, but may have a 4790k or something.

testing a card I bought off ebay, first time doing fermi stuff. I like it so far!

Payment sent for 5850, thanks Splave

pm about 5850

goodjob buddybro

The things I'd do for a 5960x! Happy new years everyone

yes, my friend bought it from me to help me buy my 980 ti Matrix. Do you want me to get you in contact with him?

Woot! I can't seem to get much more out of the GPU, I will wait for DICE or for my friend to send me the mounting hardware for my universal waterblock.

ROFL

Still learning about this bench, feeling pretty good about it

great work

pls
