Massman Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 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 Quote
Massman Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 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. Quote
Massman Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) 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 .

Christian Ney Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 you finally got time to use your tank/ln2/hardware Nice testing btw Quote
MACY overclocking Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 "Using Nvidia Inspector to increase the VGA clocks now instead of Afterburner." Can you tell us why ? Quote
Massman Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Because Afterburner only went to 1320/1365 MHz Quote
Christian Ney Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) 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, 2011 by Christian Ney Quote
Gamer Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Can't you use rivatuner ? I can set coreclocks to 2000mhz Quote
Crew Olesius Posted May 15, 2011 Crew Posted May 15, 2011 Amazing clocks dear pieter with lovely GTX560 hawk so, this VGA must do 1500/1600mhz 3dmark 2k3? Quote
Rasmus66 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 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. Quote
Massman Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 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. Quote
SF3D Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 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 Quote
Massman Posted May 16, 2011 Author Posted May 16, 2011 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. Quote
Massman Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) 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, 2011 by Massman Quote
Massman Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Here are the rest of the vids. Need to remove them from my phone . Quote
Christian Ney Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 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) Quote
Massman Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 That music is actually a pretty good Belgian singer, Milow. Quote
Christian Ney Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 So it was really ''I like Asus'' planned Nice music btw, I like Quote
Crew Vivi Posted May 23, 2011 Crew Posted May 23, 2011 SICK one massman. Damn thats a potent card . Welldone man Quote
saint19 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 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. Quote
Christian Ney Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Direct CU II arent that good on air, its under cold that it shows power Quote
