The NVIDIA GTX580/570 Clubhouse

New 3Gb cards sat next to my "old" 1.5Gb

 

[Wile E]

Nice. What brand 3GB cards? Wish reference style 3GB cards were around when I bought my 580.

And how are those Koolance blocks. I keep tossing up between that and the AquagraFX block.

They are Evga ones and i love the Koolance blocks, both cards and cpu in 1 loop with 2 120.2 rads and they idle at 25 and 26c with an ambient room temp of 22c, load temps get a little higher than they did with just a single 1.5Gb card in but it's hard to tell really as it is quite a bit warmer here atm too, running Heaven 2.1 fully maxed @ 1920x1200 with 920 cores and 1.15v they hit 49 and 51c where as before the single used to hit about 46c which is to be expected with an extra heat source in the loop.

Any of you guys seen these beasts yet

What do you guys think of running a water loop for the 570 alone? would a single 120 rad work, or would I need a 120x240 rad? I really want to get it water cooled eventually so I can OC it, as of now, it runs way too hot and loud to OC. I have no need to have my cpu in the water loop, it's already happy as can be under the Corsair A70.

r the GTX 580 Classifed 3GB cards or just 1,5GB?

i see 12 blocks of memory that could indicate 256mb pr. memory block if it's 3GB on the card ^^;

 

[Krony]

No info yet on the memory or the clocks or if there will be a watercooled one

 

[Pestilence]

Whoever thought up the cooler for the 580 Classified has to be blind because its one fugly card. EVGA has gone down the crapper since Shamino left for Asus

 

[HammerON]

I will vouch for the Koolance blocks as well. They work great

 

[Zyon]

How much is that rig shown above? /drool

Hi everybody. Just got the EVGA GTX570 SC. Instalation was a breeze, I'm on 275.33. Went from GTX275 FTW from the same EVGA clocked at 732 core and first I fired up the classic Crysis 1 benchmark. At 1680x1050 the 275 gave me 30 FPS DX10 very high and 25 with 4xAA. The 570 got 57.61 FPS and with 16xQ the average was 41.71. Amazing...

 

[Shou Miko]

nice i just got my Mafia 2 Steam code for my EVGA GeForce GTX 570 ^_^

 

[Crap Daddy]

It looks like a pretty good game. My son played it but never finished it... Maybe now with PhysX on high!

I got my MSI GTX 570 a few weeks ago, it is factory OCed but needs a voltage of 1.05 to be stable! is this normal?

i dunno, but my EVGA GeForce GTX570 gets v1.013v according to MSI Afterburner 2.2.0 Beta 5 and i can do SuperClock clocks without doing any voltage so i am happy, bcs u just got a card that needs a little more than stock juice ^^;

what driver set are you using?

 

[Shou Miko]

what driver set are you using?

sry for the delay but i use Driver version 275.33 (275.33-desktop-win7-winvista-32bit-international-whql.exe)

anyone know if CoolIT will make their Omni for Nvidia's GeForce GTX570 cards or another completed cooling system for stock pcb GTX 570?

 

[burtram]

So if I want to run a water loop for just my 570, would I need a dual 120 rad, or would a single 120 rad be enough? I am just tired of the noise the stock cooler makes, and none of those air coolers out there for the 570 would fit in my case at the moment, hence my interest in getting it water cooled.

 

[HammerON]

A single would probably suffice, but I would go with a dual rad.

 

[burtram]

Alrighty. Just curious, since I am going to try am get it water cooled as cheaply as possible.

i keep getting freezes and driver crashes in some on my games, my card is stable in kombuster and 3dmark 11 it is need for speed shift and league of legends i have issues in

edit: bad company has issues too

what driver r u using? and have u tried the GPU test in OCCT?

if it also crashes with OCCT than i think u need to clean it off from dust, check temperature and maybe put on some new thermalpaste could be needed if it gets too hot.

well temps are sitting at 73-77 during gaming, doesn't fail OCCT either.... im stumped here

using 275.33

the international one i guess, but if it don't crashes there but it's only some games it could be game related or just lag off 64bit support of the games u wanna play.

Heeeey I got a 580. Can I join ? pwity pwity pweeeeeez .

I hope this club isn't dead
