485m overclocking results?

[hizzaah]

First time OC'er dude, still learning .. I just ran furmark at the 1080p benchmark a few times before running the other benchmarks..

What settings should I be doin exactly??

Thanks man

thats alright, just that ur temps seem almost too good to be true!

let furmark run for 10 minutes at the following settings:

full screen checked
resolution 1920x1080
anti-aliasing at 8xMSAA
dynamic background checked
dynamic camera unchecked
burn-in checked
Xtreme burn-in checked
Post FX checked

then start the whole thing with the button "Burn-In Test"

what program are u using to overclock?

thanks in advance!

cheers

I get ya I re-ran w/ 8x AA for ten mins. Had to drop shader/core down a little. Hit 81c that time

It won't let me check all those options at the same time??

pretty awesome temps u got going there! what kinda thermal paste are u using? IC diamond? it lets u check all options as long as u leave "dynamic camera" unchecked!

cheers

I'll re run tests in a few mins. With those options checked. Then I'll rerun all the benchmarks and add PCMark vantage, and 3Dmark 11.

Yeah, ICD7 prolly will run the test another time with Fn+1, then again with Fn+1 and my notebook cooler on hi. Just to compare

good stuff, looking forward to the results so u ARE using a notebook cooler then?

no, i'm not.. everything done so far is with it just sitting on my desk


AND. idk what's goin on, but the few times i've just tried to run furmark after adjusting the clocks, the gpu is running it's clocks really low.
core: 73mhz
mem: 324mhz
and i see now that its only running at .85v. wonder why, i'm plugged in

edit: fixed it. installed Atmosk's newest drivers. apparently this happens when your drivers fail and dont revert?

edit2: i give up for now lol.. i was doin the mem and the core/shader clocks separately, and i get the max for the memory clocks at 1760mhz before furmark freaks. for the core/shader i can't go past 625/1250mhz (?) before i get a system freeze and i have to do a hard restart. (it runs fine at 625/1250 though).

when i try to do 625/1250/1760 i freeze, and i have to hold down the power button.

other times furmark just crashes. it's random..? make i have a bad install of furmark? gpu temps got up to a max of 87c before something would freeze/crash, so i know temps are good.

aaah okay, that sounds more like it i can get my card up to 640 / 1280 / 1640 stable, but not more without gettin a freeze. its not a bad install of furmark, but u finally got both the clocks and the settings straight. try lowering ur memory clocks, that should do the trick! now i understand why ur clocks were stable and ur temps low even at those high OC settings, since u only ran the furmark benchmark without burn-in modes. and adding to that the downclocking of the card to its high 2D state @73/324 Mhz it makes sense that ur temps wouldnt go past 80C

and yeah, the card has a total of three different clock states: low 2D/idle at like 50/100 Mhz, high 2D/active idle at around 75/325 Mhz and 3D mode at full clocks. in the first two states it automatically undervolts to .85V to save power and only goes up to 1V when in 3D mode, not matter if ure plugged in or not.

good to know. kinda disappointing though.

going to have to work on those numbers more sometime in the future.

well what did u expect with a 100W graphics card thats maxxing out the PSU with 215W!!! (peak wattage i measured under furmark & Prime95) when OCed just 10%?

cheers
