price is wayyyy cheaper than 480 wor..but need to buy a better psu that have 4 6pin connector..
i read somewhere that it is not advisable to use d molex to 6pin adapter for a long period of time aite??huhu

u need to try Bad Comp 2 then!!!
really awesome!!!!!!!

i7 930 coolitfied@ 4.2ghz 200x21
Rampage III extreme ekfied
Corsair Dominator GT 2000 8-9-8-24 @ 2000mhz 7-9-7-24 1.6v
Asus GTX480 ekfied @ 850,2000 1.138v ( OCCT pass 2 hours )

ignore the cpu score.. was actually testing a few physx drivers atm..
eh forgot to install it back when i ran this

I play BFBC2 using GTX480 still having FPS drop below 30 on a rare occasion when too many people spamming CG etc. It's still not enough for a maximum setting.

hmm u need to ask blizzy on this

cause he changed from 5870 to gtx480 and said there was a lot of improvement on BFBC2

just want to make sure its not a proc/bandwidth thingy.

I can't get pass 800MHz on core alone, at 825MHz 3D Mark will hang but at 815MHz my FPS will drop and 3D Mark result is lower than 800MHz core. I've tried to maximize the voltage at 1.138v but still not able to produce anything. Temperature maybe? But at 815MHz @1.138v the temp is just the same as 800MHz @ stock core voltage.

Try lower voltage, highest doesn't mean giving the most stable clock.
FPS becomes slower could be due to insufficient voltage.
In ur case, I would play with voltage at small bump.

Can i know how many watt PSU u use it to ur PC ??

As per siggy it's a Corsair HX 1000W,
and it is a bad idea to SLI a pair of OCed gtx480's with highly OCed i7 proc on a 1kW PSU.
can do better with higher wattage bro, ie. Corsair AX1200, CM 1200 Gold, Seasonic X1200 etc

I would like to build a system as below:

Intel Core i7 930 (Over Clock to 4GHZ)
Intel Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R
Kingston KVR 1333 DDR3 2G x 6
Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green (64MB)
LG 22x DVD Writer
Cooler Master Casing USP100
EVGA GTX460 1GB D5 256Bit x 2 (SLI) Over Clock



1) So how many "WATT" do i need to run above my spec?? 750 W PSU is that good enough??Can u pls help ...

750W is good enuf for ur specs.
ie. Corsair HX750W/TX750W

Do you guys force constant voltage?

Yes I do.

Try to run without physx and see your score lower by a huge amount

GPU score is slightly higher when PhysX is turned OFF.

Hmm is that PhysX on CPU or VGA?? The CPU score seems to be pretty high

The PhysX is handled by my GPU, that's why CPU score is inflated.
If PhysX on CPU, CPU score is equal to running vantage without PhysX.
PhysX on GPU is shown in GPU-Z, PhysX on CPU would be unchecked.

Well Physx off produce legit result while On don't

lol legit is because ati doesnt support

get some facts on that part.. since this is gtx400 series thread

its legit.

Like I mentioned before, we need a guideline here in this thread when posting 3D Mark Vantage score for GTX 400 series to standardize the benchmark score.

But since this is GTX 400 specific thread, I guess not to disable anything is the standard.
