Sentient6 Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I should bring the numbers on my dual GTX 580s to, could probably push 850 but i'm thinking I won't need to go over 820. Shader can probably be tweaked to 1650-1700 and memory i'm thinking 4200 or push it a bit further to 4400. Also I plan on tweaking my 1866 6Gb Corsairs Doms to probably 2000, although my experience on RAM tweaking is pretty limited, any suggestions on the other numbers? My I7 980X CPU will be running at probably around 4, but I may push it a tad bit more if it can't keep up with the GPUs Also don't really feel like touching the volts so lets just use that as a limiting factor.

Imagine Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 What are your current temps, max and idle. What are your current clocks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentient6 Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) What are your current temps, max and idle. What are your current clocks? Theory crafting here bud, still waiting on some of the pieces before this baby is up and running. Just wondering what some average numbers I should be shooting for without going too overboard, looking for some decent performance increase without compromising the system. My system is liquid cooled and I have full case fans so temperature should be pretty easy to keep in check. Gonna try and stay below 90 on full load. Also all the clocks are gonna be factory stock to start out with. Edited December 5, 2010 by Sentient6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagine Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I would say a 10 - 15% OC would be possible on the 580 but it totally depends on what your temps are like. As for RAM you could hit 2000 if you lax the timings a little and possibly feed it more juice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 You'll be limited by heat. In reviews without voltage mods, it can typically go to 925MHz on the core clock. With the ASUS voltage tweak, up to 962MHz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking just a moderate tweak so I can give my 3D performance a boost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you really need the power (crysis 2) I would say no more than 850. The memory I have little knowledge about. And The cpu has enough juice @ 4ghz to power the 580's in sli. I would say keep everything @ stock till you need the power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Stock is more than enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatedmeeting Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Unless you want to overclock for braggin rights, or to challenge people @benchmark scores ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentient6 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I am at least going to take the GPU to 800Mhz which is a just a bit over EVGAs superclocked edition of the card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentient6 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Actually think i'll just copy Inno3Ds OC edition also, with the settings and setup I am going for, stock is not enough. I want to stay at 60 fps with maximum graphics settings at 1900x1080 with Nvidia 3D Vision enabled, with the newer DX11 games I will require overclocking to achieve my goal.
