GTX 470 Overclocks

I'm getting 850/2000 @ 1.212v using the stock reference cooler. My temps max out at 75c, although it could have something to do with 15c ambients.
 
Only got mine a week ago, gigabyte 470 640mhz oc version. Clocked straight in at 751/1502/1684, stock voltage and cooling.

Woah! :) nice, though you'll probably kill that card at that voltage.
 
so current settings
1037 volts
750 core clock
1500 shader clock
1850 memory clock
In starcraft my GPU locks at 99% for most part of the game... why?
i have a 470 and using msi burner
 
so using OCCT i hit 102c on the video card
1062v
800core clock
1600 shader clock
1850 memory
fan speed custom profile but it was @ 100% when it hit 85

does that mean i should bring my OC down or voltage?
 
When deal with hot cards, you want the fan to increase on a curve, instead of stepping or jumping up speeds. Here's my fan profile:

The fan will rise and fall gradually during gameplay keeping the temps steady without any spikes.
 
What the hell is wrong with my stuff than? lol i run 60c idle.. i have a PCI fan blowing on the card fans as well too..
1037volt
750core clock
1500 shader clock
1850 memory
AND I STILL get 99% GPU in Starcraft 2... WHY?! ... Theres no errors in OCCT.. card just hits 102c after 20-35mins

everything else has no issues on Temps.. hell my cpu is at 72c and ive been stress testing it for the last 2 hours

Why is the videocard messing up as far as temps as well as the 99% gpu in some videogames?
 
as per Nvidia the 60c idle is normal with two monitors... and im over clocking so my temps are good

but i'm still wondering why my gpu load is at 99% in sc2

anyone?
 
GPU load in SC2 could just be because SC2 is made to work the GPU? My mates GTX 260 and 280 are 96 and 99 % in SC2. I couldn't tell you mine, i dont play the game.

Running at 870 / 1900 @1,137 here. Maxed out at 68 after 40 min in furmark.

360 rad with 6 120 push 'n' pull.

Im gonna hit 900 soon!

Is that a single dedicated loop for only the single GTX470?
 
The STarcraft GPU % is a leak they have with the nvidia cards after the last patch
there are some fixes.. to bad none work for me..

Try just turing on Vsync? Vsync has little to no drawbacks in strategy games anyway. Its only really problematic in FPS's.

Nah. SC2 is very low GPU load. They use a lot of pre-rendered objects to make the game tun on very low end hardware.

The problem is that it suffers from runaway frame rates.

If you have a high end GPU it will chug away at 100% load giving you frame rates much higher than you ever need, especially on low complexity screens.

Some have reported several thousand FPS during menu screens :p

Just turn on Vsync and you should see an improvement.

Good advice, thanks i will tell them that and keep that in mind :)
 
i have my sli 470s at max oc 830 core and 1900mem with 1.024v for benches. at everyday speeds i keep them at 700core 1800 memory. these cards are beast and i love them. very nice upgrade from my crossfire 5850 for a whole 30 bucks
 
Had to increase core voltage to 1.050v for 755/1510/1800 as TDU2 didn't like it after about 40minutes of gameplay, also had a few errors in OCCT Error Check. All ok now though.
