vdroop I hate you.

What program are you using to detect vdroop? When I had my Lightning 7970's running afterburner and other programs weren't exactly accurate compared to my multimeter
 
Well what kind of core clocks are you able to get before Vdroop requires silly levels of desired voltage? (I have exact the same card as you, BTW.)
 
Ugh closed my tab on accident, post be gone.

I guess it's actually more like 50mv of droop at 1.2v

Still hate vdroop, but I guess it's not as bad as I was initially raging about.
 
I find that GPU-Z is not as good compared to other monitoring tools. I don't like it. Through my 680's and 7970's, I've used Afterburner, HWiNFO64, and my multimeter. Both software programs are pretty spot on to my meter readings.

That being said, there is definitely Vdroop for some cards. Not sure which though, my Lightnings for example, show on my meter the voltage that I'm giving it in Afterburner.

Already in a box heading back, I couldn't handle such a weak card Willy.

I'm no vdroop fanboy :sneaky:

:wub:

But seriously if anyone knows a mod let me know, I ain't never scared.

SO basically the card is 3 times faster than that GTX 470?

2.35, but the 470 doesn't have full speed FP16 which I think was a problem for it in that bench.
 
1.25V is what you set, but GPU-Z is reporting 1.047V? That's some pretty massive droop if that number is correct. I'd really only trust a meter at that point. I haven't played with a TF 3 7950 so I can't really say for sure.
 
No 1.25v is the stock VID, that's the stock voltage it ships with (insane as that is).

Most programs just show the VID.

MSI AB allows me to control voltage, but only if I force constant. Which if you look I'm using 1088mv there.
 
1088mV seems pretty low for 1250 core clocks. Hope my new sapphire OCs that well 😀 Should be here tommorow 😀
 
Haha, no that was just me goofing to get readings at 1GHz, boy I wish though 🙂

Setting yourself up for failure with that goal imo 😀
 
I bet there's a special hell for ppl returning their hardware because it doesn't OC like they'd like to.

Returning a card because of its Vdroop when OCed, 1st world problems at its finest.
 
I've found GPU-Z terrible at times for reporting vid; if its showing in the other programs then there might be an issue.

You getting any stablity issues?
