I'll try to add some structure to this thread when I get time. For now, just list which card you have, maybe add a screenshot of gpuz. Perhaps we could show our max stable oces, and maybe a Vantage run!
Let's add 3DMark11 scores as well!

First discussion I'd like to have, is what bios to use for unlocking voltage on my EVGA card. Any ideas, please throw them out!

all three of the 470s I had from EVGA were ready to go with voltage, you just had to turn on the over voltage in MSI AB.

Anyway, I'm in. Two reference GTX 480 Stock clocks Stock voltage (load): 0.987v

Most of the GTX 480 have this voltage. Some batches at launch needed a higher voltage to reach stock clocks resulting in rather hot and noisy cards (especially some EVGA) with little room for overclocking. If your card has a 0.987 voltage you can expect it to do 800mhz at minimum. The highest I reached was 921mhz with 1.138v and the fans at 100%. Don't bother with the memory, it won't overclock well and adds heat to the card preventing you from reaching a higher core clock, at least this is my experience.

I have two GTX470's folding in my spare right now. Both are at their max stock voltage stable 725MHz. One at 1.037v and the other at 0.987v.

Okay, my basemark... my sli gtx285s at stock. I'll compare to my gtx480 tomorrow:
![]() And yes, physx is on, I'll have to do a 2nd without. Edit: okay that's my 285s at max oc actually... forgot to downclock them. Sad kind of.... Edit2: I'm going to add 3dmark11 as well. Edit3: cdawall, my test at extreme shows 1920x1200 res, what is yours? Edit4: Default settings as presented by Vantage for my system:

this is my max benchable single 470, under water ofcourse-
![]() this is my 24/7 gaming settings- ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us it plays battlefield 3 just fine with high settings and 1920x1080. i had a second for sli, but i just wasnt happy with the increase i got. with vsync on, i run steady 60fps. no reason to upgrade yet, as much as i want to.

I can't wait to see what mine do under water. I'm tempted to volt mod the memory up since the Asus card sucks.

Arg, one more day for me I think. It seems Ncix is successfully clearing out stock on these... none left in BC, so they finally shipped one from Ontario. So my 480 is currently on a cross-Canada trip!

Of course! The wait is killing me.... Looks like getting a 2nd one is going to be a pain.

i did mod the bios on my gtx470 to allow higher voltage. i can max it at 1.212 volts. but i game at 1.175 and 900mhz on the core and 1076mhz on the ram. but if i push things any higher i get random crashes in bf3. temps never go above 55-58c under water. but really i have no need to go higher the game runs smooth and looks great.
