April 29, 201312 yr Author Does anyone has contacts in Nvidia to ask about it? Cause if it's purpose action, it's not good for community. Why is it not good for the community? Fermi is out of production. Who *REALLY* cares about people who overclock old cards? This bug/feature limits OC (good for nVidia) and makes Kepler look better (good for nVidia)
April 29, 201312 yr Author hehe, saw it only last week when testing some GTX 5xx cards I have been talking about this for 4 months and asked people to test things to validate/dispel my theory. Only I.nfraR.ed and Wellingthon posted. *rolls eyes*
April 29, 201312 yr Why is it not good for the community? Fermi is out of production. Who *REALLY* cares about people who overclock old cards? This bug/feature limits OC (good for nVidia) and makes Kepler look better (good for nVidia) I mean it's bad for OC community, I don't bench mostly old hardware, but a lot of ocers does Sometimes new drivers are a bit better than old ones...
April 29, 201312 yr Author If it affects all users and all cards equally, there is not a problem It levels the playing field better than any rule that HWB can come up with and it shows that it IS possible to have a fixed MHz challenge that people cannot cheat I see the positives sometimes
May 1, 201312 yr nVidia Tech Team just replied, they are investigating what's going on, looks like it's a bug atm. Expect more info shortly.
May 3, 201312 yr is there any driver that works it's very important for the B class to MOA For older Fermi card GTX 460 the only drivers that have no overclock limits are only this set of old drivers , ForceWare 290.53 W7 x64bit , as per my limited testing ,but since the GTX 560 448SP is newer me thinks only 300.xx drivers work on them meaning limited overclock 999mhz maximum and limited/cap performance at this low clocks, someone correct me if im wrong , I hope you guys can sort this out for those willing to use GTX560 448 for MOA class B , if not HD7790 will absolutly rule this class B . http://hwbot.org/submission/2373326_chispy_3dmark_vantage___performance_geforce_gtx_460_(256bit)_24363_marks
May 3, 201312 yr the GTX560 448 can also run with 290.xx driver http://img.HWBOT.org/u24304/image_id_743593.jpeg
May 3, 201312 yr the GTX560 448 can also run with 290.xx driver http://img.HWBOT.org/u24304/image_id_743593.jpeg Thanks for the info I did not know that , I wonder how all this old drivers will score in new 3DMark nvidia ? against new polished ati performance drivers ? gtx560 448 old drivers versus hd7790 with new drivers
May 3, 201312 yr Author Mh, i used GTX580 yesterday with 314.22, and had no 999 Core limit;) Still waiting for info on this......
May 3, 201312 yr Still waiting for info on this...... What infos to you need:) There was no clock limit, and clocks above 1000 Core have been set without Problems;) http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2377948_moose83_aquamark_geforce_gtx_580_509541_marks
May 3, 201312 yr Ok, havent realized this:D I only set 1050 and run Aquamark and 3DM01, havent tested other benches;)
May 3, 201312 yr Author Booooooo! *throws popcorn* Have you read all of this thread for "all" the info?
May 3, 201312 yr nVidia managed to reproduce the problem in-house. It is not a feature it is a bug. They are in process of figuring out the issue and fix it soon. I will keep you updated in this thread.

I will keep you updated in this thread. I have a hard time believing this... but really, if they fix it it would be wonderful! 300 and newer drivers gives boost in 3dmark 11.
May 3, 201312 yr Author ....and Vantage I've not figured out the best LOD settings for 3D11 yet though
May 10, 201312 yr They have isolated the problem. Now working on the fix and will be rolling into an upcoming driver soon. Older drivers won't be patched.
