MMO-Champion GPU (video card) Overclocking Leaderboards

[Shiromar]

Yay \o/


Very nice score Shiro!

Thanks! I REALLY want to snag a second card since the prices are dropping so fast, and it looks like my card won't be around for much longer although it's the top performing 570. Already deactivated on newegg. Not really worth the extra money though, considering I already play bf3 ultra 1080p >60 fps.

I would like to sell my Classified 570 to help pay for a 680 but I'm going to put my money towards replacing my Phenom II with Ivy Bridge first.

Meh as usual with any overclocking, it's not about the clocks you run on a daily basis - just the highest clocks you can push with a benchmark to post results...and even then you can get away with artifacts i.e. unstability.
I'll see if I can push my 580 to 975mhz core because the voltage can't be pushed any further than 1.150v (unless I do some kind of modding). Once I get home that is -_-

Every program just refused to show me the voltage so I'll just believe the AMD GPU Clock Tool for now.

EDIT: Going to try make afterburner work and see if there's some room for upping the voltages, will report if it works for other AMD users.

EDIT2: Yeah turns out my 5870 is on sapphires pcb that doesn't allow for overvolting without physical modification. My subconcious is saying "do it" in the hopes I break it and have to get a 680 instead. [LINK] to a pencil mod for the pcb in question

EDIT3: And I got the voltage problem solved with the help of a multimeter and a regular pencil. Can't go too much higher without some proper cooling.
If you're interested in how to tweak voltages via hardware changes check out THIS and THIS link to a couple overclock.net posts about it they were very helpful in my case.

I honestly don't see the point of Unigine scores because everyone is running different settings and even different resolutions, no standard was established.

[kidsafe]

The scores are only there to confirm the status of the overclock and that the GPU was properly stressed. They don't affect the rankings in any way.

Time to see how high I can go with the cards in CFX.

[Xuvial]

Curse you guys averaging 100fps+ in Heaven. Argh.

*shakes fist angrily*

[kidsafe]

Wow nice job on the watercooled OC.

7970 owners need to stick together. Also high five for the red Afterburner skin/theme.

[Milkshake86]

Need I remind you how long it takes to successfully tweak a CPU's OC not on auto? And then the testing of it is considerably longer, typically, than the testing of a GPU. :P

As true as that is more of the tooling around with your cpu is dropping the voltage as low as possible, but lets be realistic if i put 1.38vcore and 4500Mhz it will probably prime just fine, this will not affect your overall performance but what if you could push 4.5@1.3 and really prime and hours of stress testing suck so bad.

[DeltrusDisc]

I shall be updating this tonight. Sorry for the delay!! Also - glad to see you finally join Xuvial! ^_<

[DeltrusDisc]

Drakoes none of your links are saying you have a 1316MHz core clock, so I don't know if that was a typo or something on your part, but if you can explain/fix it, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt with the name since it is there in the URL for your picture of Heaven.

[Drakoes]

GPU-Z does report it correctly at the top left there (max core clock), as far as 3dmark 11 is concerned, it will never state the right core speeds since the 680 will automatically downthrottle once the benchmark is complete - this happens to every single 670/680 atm

[DeltrusDisc]

Ah yeah, I see it now. Adding.

Hooray! Our first 600 series NVidia OC!! Finally... >_>

[Gouca]

The way the ranking works is invalid. Different chipset GPUs work differently. For example the GTX 570 results:

#1: 975 MHz, 4600 MHz - 6535 GPU score
#3: 918 MHz, 4510 MHz - 6577 GPU score

The ranking should be re-arranged by the combined score of test results or something. It's simply impossible to achieve one's core speeds in a GPU that has different chipset / VRM technology.

[DeltrusDisc]

Two 570s are essentially the same cards/chips. Also, newer drivers are pulling more out of GPUs, so I'm sure if that person ran his benchies again, he'd get a higher score.

Also not to mention, those scores are within margin of error, anyways.
