Problems with Gigabyte 560Ti OC version

This card is supposed to be factory clocked at 900MHz but it hasn't been able to run at that speed since the day I got it. I need to downclock to 850MHz for it to not crash in BF3.

If I up the voltage, would that help it run at 900? I have MSI Afterburner but the voltage doesn't go above 1.012V even if I set it higher. Do I need to flash the BIOS, which is version 70.24.21.00.02?

I'm using 2.2.0 Beta 9 of Afterburner.
 
Yes upping the voltage should allow you to run at 900mhz, is voltage control unlocked in afterburner and are you saving the new profile correctly I only ask because I had a similar issue when I was first using afterburner.
 
Did you try forcing constant voltage in Afterburner's settings?

My 560Tis (Twin Frozr II) are stable @1.012v, 925, 1850 and 2200. Staying here for now to keep the temperatures reasonable, until I get the build into a bigger case.

Yes I did, but I would have thought constant meant a constant 1.012, but in Windows it's 0.950. It will feed 1.012 in BF3, and I can't get it higher than that.

The Gigabyte 560Ti seems to have lots of problems :thumbsdown:😡 http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1639211

I put the core voltage in OSD and was watching it during a game of SS3 -- it dipped down to 0.950v once or twice while booting up the game, but once it was playing, it stayed fairly stable at 1.012v. So I may actually be having the same results as you are with that.

One thing I noticed, though -- what increment above 1.012v are you trying to set? With mine, if I don't go to at least 1.025v it will revert back to 1.012v after I hit Apply.

I'm running 2.1.0 here.

Ah, you may be on to something here! I just tried as suggested and the graph did go up to 1.025v - first time I've seen it that high. Silly mistake on my part. I'll try again after I reinstall Vista on this new Intel SSD 🙂
 
My Gigabyte 560 Ti OC that I just recieved the other day shows VDDC at 1.037 as the stock voltage. With a bit of testing I got it to 930ish on the core with stock voltage.

You using Afterburner for voltage monitoring?

I wonder if the reason is that voltage monitoring is good down to the thousandths of a volt, but adjustment granularity in the software or hardware (or both) is only down to roughly the tenths? Good to hear that you got it working, in any event.
 
Finally! I got it up to the intended speed of 900MHz with 1.05V. In Metro just now, my GPU's max temp was 74C.

Thanks stahlhart. :thumbsup:

Do you guys use RivaTuner to read the logs generated by AfterBurner?

GPU-Z actually. MSI Afterburner shows nothing for voltage for me. I've only check MSI afterburner RDPing into my computer from my in-laws (I'm away on vacation) so I don't know if it would display differently sitting in front of it.

I'm going to, now that you've mentioned it -- I have concerns about the bottom of my two 560s running a little hotter than the top one, and I'd like to keep a closer eye on it.

Just enabled the logging... thanks for the tip!
 
Only reason I asked was that the version of rivatuner I found was from 2009. Has it stoppe development? I checked out gpuz and I think it output its log in a Csv format which is friendlier IMHO. Real temp can also track / log your gpu temps but not much else.
