Vanilla EVGA GTX 670 Testing Anyone?

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Guys i figured it out. It was my freakin overclock. I dropped everything down to 4.5Ghz and it runs great in games now.

oh you jerk! i re-thought about my card :hmm:

nice

Running very good right now. Bf3 is so silky smooth.

so, you must have degraded "some" your cpu instead. Interesting.

I went back to air on the cpu and didn't adjust my overclock. Mistake thankfully i caught.

Nah,think hes learning how to overclock this chip,not hard Don.Jokes and jests .not much to do tbh.

 

[realjetavenger]

um how can a bone stock gtx670 possibly get a graphics score like that?

I think he has a "TOP"

Yep, asus top version where they overclock it. Mine kepler boosts to 1267 out of the box.

Wheew! That's good to hear :whiste:

BF3/BC2 is all i care about :biggrin:

Card itself

Do you have any airflow over the RAM chips and pwm circuitry heatsink? Those RAM chips is burning hot when under load. And the pwm's also get very hot on these cards

I have two fans about an inch from the PCB blowing on the card itself. I moved them to take the pic :biggrin:

Have any coil whine from your reference card?

Mine has it, but not too bad. But still annoying. Hope it will be gone over time

I can't hear it if there is any.

I have not noticed any either.

Just figured i would post my stock score.

So fellow 670 owners. I'm getting the details and a walk through of a hard mod for more voltage for us as we speak.

Nice score. What model?

says Galaxy GTX 670 OC in his sig

Card in the sig? Every high-end (about 3 from different gens) Gigabyte cards I've had, has coil whined under heavy load. Most power-hungry (100w+) cards do however, depending on materials used and your acoustics.

Yeah, it's the card from the sig - MSI GTX 670.

My dead Gigabyte GTX 570 (Reference did not have coil whine) as far as I can remember

Edit: Corrected. It should have said, my dead Gigabyte GTX 570 instead of 670

My dead Gigabyte GTX 670 (Reference did now have coil whine) as far as I can remember

what exactly happened with the Gigabyte card?

 

[Don Karnage]

Yeah what happened?

 

[The_Golden_Man]

Sorry guys, typo.. It was my Gigabyte GTX 570 and not Gigabyte GTX 670.

It was a reference Gigabyte GTX 570. It was mildly overclocked to 850/1700/2000 and 1.050v. However, it plunged after about 1.5 years. Stripping off the cooler revealed that at least one of the pvm's was burnt. GTX 570 reference design was known to have a weak pvm circuitry when compared to GTX 480 and GTX 580, so no surprises there.

When it happened, I ordered my current MSI GTX 670 reference

Thanks, it's the Galaxy Dual fan @ 1006/3004. Boost to 1202Mhz @ stock

I got 10,300 for my graphics score in this one.

1280/7050

 

[Don Karnage]

hehe I beat your graphics score with a 9998 at 1300 core 6418 memory.

http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3562768

anything over 1300 will crash so that's it for me. I am just going to leave the card stock for now anyway.

Gotcha beat bitch :biggrin: Reference cooling too

lol, I am not going to fight it for 2 points out of 10 thousand so you win. what were your exact boost speed and memory clocks for that?

and your overall score should be much higher if you used the cpu in your sig.

I'm still playing with both rigs tonight but i'm just happy i hit 10K. +160 core, +200 Mem, 115% power, Stock reference cooling which is shocking. It hated the low temps from the water. Must be a bios thing
