i dont want to fully abuse a card i dropped 550 on though. i pretty much got the classy because its only 50 more than reference, and its a lot better.

I bought a Titan way back when they first came out and quickly dismantled it popped on a waterblock and once i realised it was crippled with a crappy bios I completely invalidated the warranty by flashing it . Never looked back. It's almost like a calling - buy expensive product - then modify it to make it, well, MOAR!!!!!

Another chappy I know from TPU runs his at 1.4v and around 1300MHz core. What's really good is that EVGA are awesome with warranty. No matter what you do to your card short of pooing on it and throwing it at a wild grizzly, they'll RMA it for you if you break it.

Once you're settled with it the overclocking Gods demand you make that card work to it's potential.

Doo EET!

why not zoidberg? at most 20% faster for $200 more. come on




firestrike bench 8900 overall at stock. my i5 isnt going to bring the overall score to its fullest potential. but i can for sure do firestrike at a good OC and see how it does.

I didn't want to abuse mine either, but I just had to know how far I could push it.

Got it to 1381MHz at 1.34v. Anything higher than that causes artifacts in Valley. Think memory is around 3200MHz. There was no change moving the voltage up to 1.35v.

At that speed and voltage temps peaked at 85c with the fans at 100% (sounded like my computer was about to take flight.)

Welcome to TPU ! Were you a long time lurker or did you just recently find TPU? Also out of curiosity, how did you first come across TPU? Oh yeah what a nice GPU you have!

Wait you dont have that card on water? I feel so bad for the vrms and pcb of that card. Probably ridiculously hot, and on the verge of popping.

Vrm temp was in the low 80s while benching. That ridiculously hot to you?

My equipment doesn't need you to feel bad for it. I appreciate you taking me for an idiot with your "verge of popping" comment.

Ah, the term is askhole. Look it up

Oh I didn't know you had the Classified card. I thought you were running a reference. I was on the android app, so you can't check system specs of users.

Its probably fine, if I had a classified card, that bitch would be on water right away.

It's a necessary ritual. Even EVGA own up to slapping a cooler on the classified card knowing full well it's going to be removed by 99% of buyers.

I want the GTX780Ti Classified, like really bad!

No i had a guy build it for me

i know someone whos a member of this forum. He keeps going on and on about it so i thought i would give it a real try. Used to be a longtime member on OCN by a different handle, but everyone that was cool up and left so...


Also, to everyone else, i will be overclocking this card to its maximum potential but not just yet

Your reply makes more sense now. I only ran it that way just to test the limits on air, not for 24/7 use.

Power to the 1%!

Every time a person runs an EVGA Classified on air, a spammer joins a tech forum.
Some people just want to watch TPU burn!

Incoming! Actually no, I do feel bad about that.

wierd seeing as my 570 has problems in far cry and skyrim, and the 5870 was clocked at about 29 fps in far cry 3 in a recent comparison. i think if you gave skyrim a high quality ENB and some actual real high resolution textures (not that stupid pack) as well as the other landscape and various flora enhancements, you'd see the 5870 really slow down. (Thats how I play skyrim, at least)

I only change graphics settings if something annoys me (e.g. bloom and blur) or it defaults to all low settings (card is not recognized). Eye candy really doesn't add anything to the game for me so I don't bother. That's probably why my HD 5870 is still okay: I don't max out settings on every game I can play. For me, the most important thing is that the gameplay is smooth with no frame rate dips and the like. At the same time, I don't feel inclined to upgrade yet because I never encountered a game where I've had to reduce settings in the name of better frame rates.

Good thing we have a raccoon with a machinegun to counter-spam them to smithereens...

You guys. Sometimes I feel like I should apologize for some of you. I won't because I also expect a woman to know crap is crap, but still....

1243 run. looks like thats all the card can do. 20mhz higher and it crashes. i5 is at 4.5 not 3.4

 

[erocker]

Would you have asked that question if this thread was started by a guy?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure not a girl. Unless they stole a different' members IP who has similar system specs. Coincidences do happen I suppose, but I don't believe in them.

You seriously have to ask?
