Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Kinda odd, though. It's my understanding that both programs were made by the RivaTuner people so you'd think the functionality would be pretty much the same. I'll have to try it out when my replacement card comes from NewEgg..
Well that's the problem -- the board started to get unstable over 25mV. My Precision-X actually offers up to 63mV, but that trips something and the card flat out rejects it. FWIW, I tested Civ-V, and the card was running at 992 -- not boosting at all, in spite of the modest OC I had set...
And it looks like that 1241 that was stable during SWTOR causes CIV V to go blackscreen after a few minutes. That's at +25mv with 115% power target. Any more voltage than that gets increasingly unstable.
Precision-X actually lets me add +63mv, but the card can't hold a stable overclock at that. Even at +38mv, things get a little dicey and I tend to get stuck at 1201 in games, At +25mv, and tweaking the fan curve a little, I was able to hold at 1241. That makes me wonder if I got a limited...
Already switched to the LN2 bios. I might give it a try, but I'm not sure I want to mess around with flashing a new BIOS yet. OOB, I was only boosting to 1110, which seems low compared to what many others have gotten. The majority of the reviews for the Classified that I've read seem to get...
In games, it hasn't even been doing that much. I'm lucky if it holds at 1201 stable while playing SWTOR. Maybe it's the 67.7% ASIC, which I understand is iffy quality (at best) for an air OC. I'm seriously disappointed and thinking of RMAing it; given the extra cost a good OC is expected...
Sadly it isn't fully stable at 1293 :(
After extended running of the OC Scanner it'll drop down to between 1254 and 1241. When gaming, it reverted to stock (1110 boost), so I must have been pulling too much juice. I maxed power (115%) and temp (95) targets, and use the max allowable...
After re-installing Precision-X and shrinking the display size OC Scanner so I could see both programs on-screen at the same time, I was able to get more accurate results for GPU speed. It looks like I'm capped at an offset of +168 for the GPU, anything more brings a crash of the OC Scanner in...
Here's the strange thing: running the Valley benchmark shows the GPU at 1333, but the memory still at 3000 in spite of the memory offset being set at +395.
Update:
It seems Precison-X was showing settings on boot but not actually applying them. After hitting apply, it shows the GPU at 1663...
Thanks for the reply :)
What increment do you go up by when you bump the core and memory? And is there a reliable way to see what the card is boosting to?
After much deliberation, I finally settled on the EVGA 780 GTX Classified to replace my old GTX 580. The thing is that while I've dealt with overclocking CPUs quite a bit, I never really tweaked GPUs -- and this one is clearly made for it. Does anyone have any advice or perhaps a link to a...
