1481..... shiat 670 buthurt kambing....


trying now to OC 680 to beat this... + aircond he he he

lets go for 1400 boost clock (only reachable after hacking the voltage, and fans spinning 90% to keep it at 70c)

my new rig with 680 non top will be done tomorrow!! cant wait!!!

that is a go go go

guys,i have problem with my gtx275.
when i play games like darksider 2, apb reloaded n lost planet,at first the fps is normal (60-70 fps) but then the game crash n when i restart the game back, fps become 25-30fps..
i've tried driver from 197.48, 256.98 to 301.42 but still have the same problem.(i clean the driver 1st using driver sweeper b4 installing new driver)
any idea what's the problem is?

fyi recently i changed my motherboard from asus m4a87td to gigabyte 970a-ds3 but i did not format my pc.just delete old driver n install new one..

my gc temp also going till 85c when playing games..

please help me,going crazy with this fps drop problem..

Still considering. Wanna wait and see what other think bout it first.

Just to share, not sure slowpoke or not, Gigabyte GTX680 SOC reviews:

that is quite a hardcore design i'm still prefer lightning, no offence to giga guys

next time if anybody in this thread ask the difference between reference design card & custom please give them this link and ask them to watch it:

i'm gonna bookmark this

Did you OC the card? that usually means unstable overclock or driver problem

no..cos i'm afraid it will overheat with stock cooler.
btw,does high temp will lower frame rates?

no, higher temp wont lower frames, but I would try to let the GPU run below 80c by increasing fan speed cause high temps can degrade the GPU faster

actually,that bcoz of the bios mod,these bios remove the thermal throttle refer my previous post(i not sure its true or not,but i do attach some prove of a guy said that) ...i tried to flash but failed as the bios version is still the same...no idea how to go on with the mod bios...any ideas guy??

here is it

I only modded my GPU bios twice and thats for the GTX 570 DirectCU II (to allow higher voltages) and GTX 680 Lightning (cause the first batch of bios makes my PC hard crashes instead of driver reset when OC failed)...you cant change your bios with the same one...

that the problem...there is someone tweaking the bios,make it base clock at 1200...then this guy used the bios showing his 670 reach max clock 1400...damn tempting...

there is an idea i should flash to older bios 1st then re-flash to the vmod bios...

flashing to a modded bios can void warranty if i am not mistaken. In case anything goes wrong there might be a chance they wont accept the card for RMA if they can check the bios.

yes...its gonna void warranty as the flashing is using the out source bios tweaking(voltage tweak) beyond what manufacture setting...these bios unlock/bump up until 1.21V IINM...most of gigabyte OC have these lock up...that why it could not clock high....

try la, gigabyte is very famous with their fussy and blame customers when rma, i tell u first

Dude! You just got your card issit? So fast want to OC it ar?

Really got such thing with the RMA service? Too many RMA process to do kot...
