MMO-Champion GPU (video card) Overclocking Leaderboards

[DeltrusDisc]

Greetings everyone and I am happy to announce this will be the GPU overclocking leaderboards thread! Now to get started!

Do you own a gaming computer that has some sort of dedicated graphics installed? If so, have you overclocked it? If you said yes to both of these questions, then you are in the right thread!

Simply put, this is a thread to post your benchmarks and screenshots showing your OC on your graphics card(s) and get placed on a leaderboard to see how you compare to others on these forums! There will of course be some rules and requirements to be placed on the leaderboards and they are as follows...

• MSI Afterburner installed for viewing the overclock, temperatures, and voltages on your graphics card(s). You can download MSI Afterburner here. Asus, Gigabyte, etc equivalents are recommended if you do not have an MSI-branded video card. If you want to post something like Afterburner just to show temperature history but use GPU-Z to show voltages, you are more than welcome to.
• 1 full run of Unigine Heaven 2.5 will be required for everyone, screenshot of your results will be needed. You can download Unigine Heaven 2.5 here.
• 1 full run of 3DMark Vantage with link to your personal results required (for DX9/10 users.) You can download 3DMark Vantage here.
• 1 full run of 3DMark 11 with link to your personal results required (for DX11 users.) You can download 3DMark 11 here.
• An account with imgur.com to link your screenshots is highly preferred, even by the admins of mmo-champion.com, as imgur.com is easiest to see full-size pictures.

If you can buy the advanced version of either 3DMark, it will allow you to have access to even more features and only costs $20. I am planning to get the advanced version of 3DMark 11 myself. I want a true 1920x1080p test. ;p This is not, however, required, simply recommended for more extreme testing to verify that your overclock is indeed stable.

Don't worry though, these overclocks don't have to be 24/7 gaming overclocks, they can simply be the best you've been able to do, whether or not you feel like running them all the time.

The following format is REQUIRED, otherwise your post will be IGNORED and poked at until you properly follow the format. Italics not required, simply follow this list format.

If you would like to post full system specs, you are more than welcome to, however please post them after your list and separated from it, same with any benchmark results you would like to post.

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions for ways to perfect this thread more!

This should've been posted in the now closed prelim thread. But is there any particular reason why GPU-Z isn't used to list voltages and stuff? I've never had Afterburner work correctly in showing me anything on my 6970.

[DeltrusDisc]

This should make for a good example of how it should look. Here's my current GPU Overclock:

I'll add that to the allowed list. Go ahead and use it. However I'd like Afterburner for seeing temperature history.

I'm not sure I'll even try to hit this board. I got the inverse of my processors performance with this gpu. I just was curious since I'm not the only one with the ASUS branded stuff.

Speaking of which, I was just talking to Drunkenvalley about this and he was like "omg that's bs Afterburner can be used for whatever card!"

Idk if it's only an NVidia thing perhaps or if it's truly just for MSI (that's what I thought at least) but go ahead and use the Asus equivalent/GPU-Z.

Yeah, the voltage thing doesn't work on my ASUS. If he disagrees I'd love to have him fix it, I like afterburner lol. I think the meters might work , I just don't have it installed since it doesn't really do anything GPU-Z does.

MSI Afterburner is just RivaTuner... It works with pretty much everything. I use it to OC and voltage tweak my Diamond branded HD 7970.

Because your card has non-reference VRMs / power delivery, you have to use Asus SmartDoctor or GPU Tweak.

[DeltrusDisc]

I'm waiting for some posts of benchmarks and OCs.

Yeah, I've been using Smartdoctor, it's the only one that seems to actually use the voltages. GPUTweak doesn't like my card. Even with changing the voltages I can't overclock worth a shit on it, unless I'm doing something obviously wrong. Anyways, enough derailment on my own gpu issues.

Can't yet, pushed my 2600K to 4.9GHz w/HT for the CPU leaderboard. Still Priming...

[DeltrusDisc]

Well, at least the GPU tests are about a mere 10-15 minutes in total. ;p

Afterburner working fine with this one.

@Deltrus, a little shy on the voltage, don't you think?

1. DeltruDisc - 950MHz, 440MHz, 1.037v

Just wanted to point out your missing a zero for your mem clock.

[Fuzzykins]

I don't think 4400 is a viable memory clock for a GTX 560ti. Nor is 440mhz. Anyway, let's break my graphics card, shall we?
Erm, does anyone else think the requirements are REALLY elaborate?

I'm glad my gpu sucks for that reason.

[DeltrusDisc]

Oops. I'll fix that.

@Fuzzykins, it's 2200MHz listed in Afterburner of course and since we all know that doubles to come to what the memory clock actually is. I've never heard anything about that memory clock being a GPU-breaker though... elaborate?

And how the hell are the requirements "REALLY elaborate?" The tests altogether come to a whopping like 15 minutes worth of testing tops.... if that's too much then why don't you post the same in the CPU OC leaderboards thread?

In fact this GPU has the same numbers as mine. I'd like some reasoning why it's such a bad memory clock other than one poster saying "let's kill our card." Like, what? Show me where someone has said it's truly bad or whatever.

@Deltrus, a little shy on the voltage, don't you think?

Well from what I've read you really don't want to be putting 1.1v through the card. =S Back when I was seriously working with overclocking my GPU I read a lot of forums about it and everyone was unanimously agreeing that you should try to not even put 1.1v through your card, so if I can't get my 985MHz core clock stable at 1.087v I don't think I'm going to bother.

You though, have a lovely OC and I am jelly. Yes. Very very jelly.

Drunkenvalley... the gauntlet has been thrown down!! ^^^

Unigine Heaven would complete at higher core clocks and voltage, but there was obvious artifacting. TBH I didn't mess around with memory much... I will if someone posts a higher memory OC.

[DeltrusDisc]

Your stuff certainly looks maxed via MSI Afterburner. ;p
