570m Overclock

Those who have overclocked their 570m, can you please post the following details:

1. What are your OC frequencies?
2. Which laptop are you using?
3. Max temperatures under load?
4. What tool are you using for OC?
5. Are you using anything apart from stock config for cooling?
6.Any Tips for fellow overclockers?

Many thanks.

 

I have a MSI G780dx-215US

I have modifed the actually GPU bios to increase the standard default's to which you can see below I have also increased the GPU voltage to .9v

To increase over the new default settings I have used nvidia inspector. I am using stock cooling setup, temps have been no higher than 74c and I have a fresh MX2 paste. I am looking to upgrade the CPU as only got the ickle i7 2630 so am looking at getting something else in place I have found an i7 2820 that i am conidering using

http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3625827

 

Only 74C inspite of such high clocks on stock cooling? Is it because of adjusting voltage? Or is the 780 that much better at cooling? I have 683DXR btw.

 

1) 750/1500/1800

2) GT683DXR

3) 82c

4) nVidia Inspector

5) Stock cooling

6) I flashed the vbios to .9v. It helps with reaching a higher overclock ceiling.

 

I'd really like to know this one as well.

Directions with helpful links would go nicely in this thread, for those of that may have missed them in other scattered topics. I'm assuming this would work on ANY 570m, whether it's in a 780 or 683DXR?

currently running 700/1400/1800 @ approx 83c max. Debating repaste with AS5, not sure if it would make much of a difference though. Would REALLY like to find a beefier fan that'll fit in the stock location for better cooling. . .

 

I used Svet's vbios mod utility. Information can be found here: Svet's VBIOS Tuner - [ver: 0.83x]

To the best of my knowledge, it currently supports any MSI 570m in any model.

 

You, sir, are a bonafide saint

 

Exactly the same tool I used

 

Are there any risks involved in using Svet's VBIOS tuner?

 

Ofcourse as with any modification done to the bios you could render your GPU useless with just one error in your bios update. This is only for those who knows what they are doing and are willing to take that risk.

 

In that case, a possible tutorial for someone who wants to try it for the first time, maybe?

 

Check the link provided by Keith1341, it redirects to another MSI forum that contains a quick guide on how to do this written by Svet himself.

 

Well yes, I saw that already, I guess I probably asked the wrong question. What I meant to ask is, is it easy enough for a newbie to do? Is it a straightforward procedure? Or are there are a lot of unknown possibilities which would deter someone to try this.

I hope that makes it clearer what I am trying to say.

 

Anyone else overclocking their 570M video card?

current setting's

 

Hi James5! Those are impressive results! What did you set on the shader value for all those benchmarks? 1700 also?

 

Yes sorry I should have said 1700 was the shader I set for all tests

 

Did you monitor your temps with these settings?

What are good/healthy settings for a gtx570m with stock cooling?

Are 76°C healthy for a gtx570m?

What Settings have to be modified to get higher fps? Core Clock? Shader Clock? Memory Clock?

 

76*c for stock paste is normal. You have nothing to worry about. You can chnage core and memory clock since shader is core doubled. Look at all the posted clocks here for reference, some like jame5's are possible due to overvolt.

 

I had a play with Svet's vbios tool, as he has released version .92a, it had an option to increase the volts to .92 so I made this change and no others and it black screens my laptop, gone back to .9v anyone else had the same with the .92v setting

I will add for pitha1337 that my temps have not exceeded 74c as yet with OE cooling.

 

Is it recommendable to change volts to 0.9v to have higher clocks with stock cooling?

What about artifacts with such high clockings? For example in Battlefield 3 ? Are they gone with 0.9v?

 

What do you mean by OE cooling? Cooling out of the box? This would be strange because with 700/1400/1600 I got 76°C in Battlefield 3 with 0.85V.

 

I am running Arctic MX-2 compound paste on my CPU and GPU now and max I have seen on temp as said is 74c.

Sorry when I say OE yes I mean standard cooling fan

 

so it wasnt stable at the said voltage? What clocks are you using now?

 

No not stable @ .92v I am back to .9v but with the new svet bios modifications I have set the off turbo setting for that of a stock GTX460 768mb GeForce GTX 460
and for the P1 (turbo on) my setting's are below




http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3664301

 

Sry but I have to ask again

Is there a connection between GPU voltage, high clocks and artifacts in games?

When I set my settings above 700/800/1400 0,85V I got artifacts in Battlefield 3 and 3D Mark 11. Or is it a temp problem? Will 0,9V solve this problem? what is the disadvantage of higher volts?

 

How did you flash the vBIOS back to a safe voltage if you couldn't even see the screen?

The higher the voltage, the higher clock speeds you will be able to achieve stably, but with the increased voltage also comes an increase in temps. Also, your card might just wear out faster if you push it too hard too regularly.

 

Are you running @720/1440/1750 wih 0,9V? When I set these settings with 0,85 V (default) then I got artifacts (strange black, green lines in the picture) in BF3 and 3DMark11. What am I doing wrong?

By stability you mean no artifacts?

Maybe I have to say that I have the 15" inch barebone from Medion. But it is the same as the MSI barebone.

 

It only black screened as soon as I started to use 3d mark vantage, a reboot sorted and flashing back to stock settings and then ran the 3d mark vantage to see if it was doing it and all was fine, I then created another vbios to modify and adjusted new bios with the PO and P1 settings now available on the new svet bios

 

Did you attempt mode 2 asynchronous overlooking?

 

No not tried that yet

 

I meant overclocking. Darn iPhone autocorrect...

Have you pushed the clocks to the point of instability yet? I saw you went up to 900 MHz and I'm curious if you are experiencing artifacts.

I plan to buy Svet's tool, but I don't have the cash right now. I figured I'd make sure I know what other people have been able to do with this card, though.

 

I have run higher than I am and yes I have hit the instability limit of the .9v

I ran 950/1000/2000 and it would black screen @ this, I have not noticed or had any probs with artifacts as yet I have been playing a fair bit of BF3 (not that I am any good), dirt3, dead island, crysis 2, starcraft 2 all on max settings wiyhout fault

 

Did you run 3dmark with the clocks in your ss 900/1800/1950? it'd be interesting to see how the card run at such ridiculously high clock. Also max temp while you're at it.

 

Yep would like to see that too because I am quite surprised it could go that high on clocks and perform such high scores on 3dmark with 192bits bus width and 24 ROPS - that means it is as powerful as a 6970/6990m o/c

 

thats not gonna happen since this card will be limited by its bus width and bandwidth

 

@James5 thanks for posting those benchmark results, plus rep for you!

Is it possible to set the custom overclock in the P1 button? So when you press P1 you run on the custom overclock you made and press P1 again to disable it and return back to stock. Is this possible?

 

Yes using svet vbios tool

 

How to do this? Activate P1 and implement your overclock using Svet Vbios tool? Is this correct? I thought the vbios tool will rewrite the bios of your video card so regardless of P1 enabled or not it will always be overclocked unless you flashed back the stock bios.

 

sorry for the n00b query, but what is TDE? Is that the built-in TURBO button + MSI Nvidia Overclock tool being active?

 

TDE is the "Turbo Drive Engine" which is activated by your turbo button. Once pressed it increases the clock speed of the VGA.

 

anyone here have gtx570m with 3gb gddr5?
i need its vbios to compare the vram control code with 1.5gb one.......please help backup one for me, much appreciated!

 

Is it posible to edit the 570m p0 and p1 mode on an Medion Erazer x6891 with Svets Vbios Tool? Is there a special Button to acticate this option?

 

Yes Svet tool works on all 570m's but I am not sure how you activate the turbo feature on your Laptop, I take it you have the nivida overclock software installed?

 

Yes I have installed the OC Software from the MSI homepage and linked it to a button (FN+P1). So the software starts when I press the button combination but nothing happens

Before that I've flashed my VBIOS.

 

You can edit P1 now with Svet's tool, I got him to add it.
