Posted April 7, 201114 yr INTRO Just got this card in house. Only air cooling results so far, need to use the little bits of LN2 I have left to test Lightning first. Card can do ~ 1050/1200 on air with elevated voltages. Unlike with the 6950, increasing pressure to stock cooling did not gain any more results. LN2 test will come! THE CARD THE MODIFICATIONS THE SCORES
May 13, 201114 yr Author Well that was quick ... this session took around 45 minutes before closing down again. SETUP: - Core i7 990X - SF3D Inflection Point (keep CPU temp ~ 20°C) - GIGABYTE X58A-OC - 2x 2GB ADATA "no, not hyper" XPG+ series - MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk - Ryba Fat Pot - Coolermaster 1000W PSU SETTINGS: - 1.45V Vgpu - 1.67V Vmem - 1350MHz core at -70°C - 1300MHz memory (1350 at 1.8V) - Coldslow at -73°C - "all out of slider!" [hwbot=2168176]submission[/hwbot] PICTURES AND VIDEO: Only a retarded 3DMark11 screen. Who cares running other benchmarks if there's a coldslow, right! Uploaded some video to Youtube as well, but since there are no youtube tags here you'll have to check out the HWBOT submission. More once the good BIOS arrives.
May 14, 201114 yr Author Received the coldslow BIOS, so flashed quickly and tested again. This BIOS is actually for the 560 ti Twin Frozr, but works perfectly on the Hawk too .

May 15, 201114 yr "Using Nvidia Inspector to increase the VGA clocks now instead of Afterburner." Can you tell us why ?
May 15, 201114 yr cause he doesn't know how to use afterburner But yeah, if you don't tweak afterburner there is a max freq limit. With nvidia inspector there is no max freq limit Edited May 15, 201114 yr by Christian Ney
May 15, 201114 yr Crew Amazing clocks dear pieter with lovely GTX560 hawk so, this VGA must do 1500/1600mhz 3dmark 2k3?
May 15, 201114 yr In afterburner you just have to move the slider to max settings and close afterburner then open it again to "unlock" the slider so it can go highere:) But nice scores massman and thanks for the vmod pictures.
May 16, 201114 yr Author so, this VGA must do 1500/1600mhz 3dmark 2k3? If it behaves the same like a GTX 580, then I think it should do 1600-1650 in 3DMark03. I will try to find out soon! FYI, I've added the real coldslow BIOS for Hawk too.
May 16, 201114 yr This is extreme! Now push the rest out of core, cause you clearly had to stop too early last time. Why only 1.46Vgpu? You should use 1.6v at least
May 16, 201114 yr Author No, voltage isn't really scaling so well. With 1.6V I get the color screens (temp too high) very quickly. I tested with 1.5V and it was almost ok. Maybe 1.525V will give the best result.
May 23, 201114 yr Author Needed to relax a bit, so decided to play a few hours with the MSI GTX 560 Ti again. Only objective was to run 1500 core through 3DMark11. Now, I can leave this card and bench it for HWBOT points some time in the future when I feel like benching for points . SETUP: - Core i7 990X - SF3D Inflection Point (keep CPU temp ~ 20°C) - GIGABYTE X58A-OC - 3x 2GB ADATA "no, not hyper" XPG+ series - MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk - Ryba Fat Pot - Coolermaster 1000W PSU SETTINGS: - FW 275.27 (big boost!) - 1.52V Vgpu - 1.98V Vmem - ~ -135°C - ~ 20L LN2 - too much crashes Picture: SCORE: [hwbot=2172183]submission[/hwbot] [hwbot=2172187]submission[/hwbot] [hwbot=2172188]submission[/hwbot] Edited May 23, 201114 yr by Massman
May 23, 201114 yr hahaha. lol he is forced to show his Asus keyring to proof he doesn't hate Asus. Even with sexy background music (you and me ...hohohoho you and me)
May 23, 201114 yr I'd go with that MSI and not with the ASUS DirectCU II , for some reason isn't giving me the performance that I was waiting for.
