EVGA GTX 580 Classified released

[MaadDaawg]

Not sure when they hit, but there are now 3 or 4 versions of it available on EVGA.com.

Too rich for me :ohcrap:

[rickss69]

In all my online gaming experience I just have not found any measurable difference between video cards beyond a certain point. A total waste of good money if that be your objective in my opinion. I have tried untold combinations of video cards...ATI, Nvidia, SLI, Crossfire, clocked or not and have found no real difference in game play vs just one decent mid-range card. Some may provide a prettier picture, but no advantage for game play.

[Witchdoctor]

I agree Rick,

I think it has a better power delivery for overclockers....

I think they may be shooting for the Lightning market share to pay for Vince and Tin ........ :laughing:

Time will tell if they start busting Linghtning world records or not with them

I have to think eVGA will get these in the hands of some skilled individuals

[MaadDaawg]

If i could afford one, and if I were to buy one, it would immediately be stripped down and a LN2 pot strapped to the side of it :rofl: Total waste for gaming like you say, and who knows - may be a waste for overclocking. Strange, they haven't sent me one to test yet :taunt:

This sucks :ohcrap:
Two or three years ago I would have just ordered up three on release date (no 4 way back then), now <sigh> I don't have a chance in hell of buying even 1 ... sucks being unemployed and not be able to do what you want like you used to :thumbdown:

[DrNip]

Lovin my GTX 560 Ti, lol. $600 is too much for me. I made the mistake once spending $525 on the GTX 295. Kicked myself in the ass on that purchase. The most I would be willing to pay for a GPU now is $350 with $400 being the max. If anyone has a GTX 580 they want to get rid of for one of these let me know. :D

[rickss69]

Lol...with all the cards I have sold lately I still have three GTX 295's. :taunt:

[punx223]

I dunno kinda meh TBH. will be interesting to see how it performs

[MaadDaawg]

I've got 3 evga SC 580s that I think I'm gonna put on the gamer under water. Only other cards I have is a gtx 580 lightning and a gigabyte 560ti soc. Oh, and a WC Saphhire 5870. Should sell sumptin but hate to part with right now :blink:

[MaadDaawg]

I dunno kinda meh TBH. will be interesting to see how it performs

We're countin on you Bro to pickup 4 of em and letting us know how they clock :D

[punx223]

lol not gonna happen brother :)

I have soem matrix 580's though :D

[Witchdoctor]

Let's face it guys, the MSI Lightning series is the bar, no one has played on their field for a while now, this is their first GPU entry into a card directly aimed at extreme overclocking as their past SC and FTW cards have been nice gaming cards but not nessesarily world record contenders.....

I will be putting that to the test soon as I have 2 vinnila's that will be under cold in the coming months .... just wish I was one of those modding guys as not sure how far I will get with out any hard mods .......... :ohcrap:

on vanillas you could likely get close to 925 maybe 950-975 on really good ones... Ive seen a select few breach 1000 core with highest voltage software would do.

[Witchdoctor]

that blows as they already do 950 on cool air ................ :shock:

[Neuromancer]

that blows as they already do 950 on cool air ................ :shock:

Yeah even I reached 950 :ohcrap:

[Witchdoctor]

I was hoping for like 1150 to 1200 on them with cold

Wish I had a lightning capable of 1300 to 1400,

:ohcrap: I would need a better skill set as well :laughing:

[MaadDaawg]

:ohcrap: I would need a better skill set as well :laughing:

+1 :laughing:

This weekend I'm hoping to freeze the lightning on the M4E. To bad the contest is over lol

1280/1240 on reference at MOA :)
http://hwbot.org/submission/2113441_romdominance_3dmark11___performance_geforc e_gtx_580_9213_marks

I would try that bios out if you can find it. MOA gtx-580 bios

[Witchdoctor]

Thansk bro......... I will look for it

Not ground breaking, but could scoop up some nice Boints in the 1200's

This will be the last time I mess with vinnila's

Lightnings from here on out for this kid

edit:

Found it

here ya go for all with reference cards

[HybridChiller]

i just have a Evga gtx580 superclocked and get also on air 1050 core.

I you just have a good one, you can get +1000core.

But the Classified version think it will be the new king in town

[HybridChiller]

Will post asap new and nice pics of vga

[HybridChiller]

I got my Classy in the house !!!!

[MaadDaawg]

Looking good Bro :thumbsup:

[OC Maximus]

580 Batwing Edition :)

Very Cool!

[HybridChiller]

i'm curious about the GTX285 with an Untouchable on it , what it will do.

[Kal-EL]

I am curious as well, that 580C looks capable enough don't it.

[HybridChiller]

the GTX580 runs very cool with his new cooler.

But only no Voltage regulator in the house.

Evbot is dead, and Eleet, msi afterburner or else doesn't work for adjusting voltages.
Hope tomorrow i get a beta version for voltage adjust

[HybridChiller]

Today normally comes my new EVbot at home.
and second one next week.

Did some 3dmark11 and must say where my GTX580 superclocked did @ +1000core did P7800,
does the Classified @ 940 core P8063 (http://hwbot.org/submission/2212591_).

so the extra memory does pay of.

all other benchmarks i have the same scores with Classy @ 940core as my normal one did at 1050core.

[badeendje]

I love those card mate.

Gimme one hahahah

[HybridChiller]

i don't think i bring one tomorrow to show you, otherwise i loose one :ohcrap:

[badeendje]

i don't think i bring one tomorrow to show you, otherwise i loose one :ohcrap:

No mate.

I won't steel one :rofl

We are going to drink a couple of liters red bull and this is gonna happen :party:

The right one is you.

If you wake up , you will be in the gutter and the door will be closed and locked whuahahahaha

[HybridChiller]

Hell no, you're a naughty boy, you're wife needs to put you over the knee :taunt:

[kikicoco1334]

holy balls mate! those are some mean lookin cards!

just wondering like EVGA stuff got life time warranty but if you add the untouchable wouldn't that kill the warranty? but at the same time it's also made by evga so?

[HybridChiller]

no no kiki, when you start soldering, i don't think you still get waranty lol

[kikicoco1334]

that sux!
i use the hell out of 99% of the warranty tho

[HybridChiller]

everybody can see what the Classifed's will do on stock cooler on my profile, did some benching.

Waiting still for my EVbots to arrive, eleet tuner beta with triple voltage adjust is little buggy

[kikicoco1334]

how big of a jump is it between the 1.5GB 580 and 3.0GB 580 at the same clock?

[HybridChiller]

i would take the 3Gb for good 3dmark11 scores etc

1.5Gb is goed for fast old benchmarks, like aqua, 3d01, 3d03

[kikicoco1334]

damn i was hoppin just one would be good enough for all benches :P
i just got fucked over $320 so no more 580 upgrade anytime too soon

[HybridChiller]

you can see my benches,

with the GTx580 superclocked 1.5Gb model i have my best scores in the older 3dmarks.
and i can't break them with the classified 3Gb model.

But the newer benchmarks i crushed them hahahaha

[kikicoco1334]

ahhh!!!!!

how's the new beta eleet?

[HybridChiller]

The voltages are a little off from Eleet and what's real.
But besides that it works very good.

Here's the list of voltage settings in Eleet 1.09.5 beta on the left, and on the right the real voltage you can measure of the points of vga :

NV VDD = vGPU
1.29375--1.30-1.31
1.28750--1.30
1.28125--1.29
1.27500--1.28
1.26875--1.28
1.25000--1.26
1.24375--1.25
1.23750--1.24
1.22500--1.23
1.20625--1.21

FB VDD = vMEM
1.70500--1.78
1.67500--1.73-1.74
1.64500--1.72
1.61500--1.69
1.60500--1.68
1.59500--1.64-1.65

I run vga stable 3dmark11,stress vantage and all at settings on stock cooler :

GPU 975 @ Eleet:1.24375-- real voltage:1.25
MEM 2140 @ Eleet:1.59500-- real voltage:1.64-1.65

GPU 990 @ Eleet:1.26875-- real volatge 1.28

[HybridChiller]

but i'm waiting for the new beta version where you can set NV VDD = vGPU to 1.8v max for ln²

[kikicoco1334]

damn i wish i got my big boy rig up and running

[HybridChiller]

Some new firmware not official for Evga GTX580 Classifed to use EVbot max 1.8vGPU and some nice features :

Menu :

NV VDD max voltage 1.8vGPU

GPU PWM untill 1000Khz

http://i54.tinypic.com/rcrb06.jpg

Disable OCP

[Kal-EL]

noice :)

[MaadDaawg]

looks like I'm gonna have to update the firmware on mine :)

[HybridChiller]

This firmware is only for Classified, as for option one the motherboard changes also in vga.

So control for 4 vga's.

Normally is 1 motherboard and 2, 3, 4 for vga

[HybridChiller]

Next week on ln² one of my Classified's, hope it will go good
