A bit of playing with 2600K and 580SLI

Ok made a post because I thought it was interesting.

3DMark11 Basic Scenario:

1. Stock CPU as Physx dedicated - Stock GPU @ 1.1V (neede for BF3 stability).
   
   
   
   
   
2. Auto physx standard oc
   
   
   
   
   
3. 2600K at 4.8GHz - Stock [email protected]
   
   
   
   
   
4. 2600K (55oC) with GTX580 at 906MHz at 1.15V (47oC)
   
   
   

Im going to pump it to 5GHz and see if the CPU is bottling.. I doubt it.

*edit*

2600K @5GHz 1.5V 36oC 100% load (ambient 25oC) - GPU 906MHz (4.53GHz effective)@1.15V

2600K @5.2GHz 1.5V 36oC 100% load (ambient 25oC) - GPU 906MHz (4.53GHz effective)@1.15V

maybe I am missing it, but is it just program compatibility that it says 2 580s and your sig says 3? or is one physics only?

anyway, nice scores.

I removed one 580 because its air cooled only. At 1.15V and 4.53GHz you cant run air only ...

 

[wolfeking]

ah, cool. With that much power I doubt you see much difference anyway, yes?

You;re probably right, someone on 3DMark11 thread had 3 and same set up and only got 500 more. I was just interested how far i could take it on water. Pretty sure I could run it at GPU 6GHz, CPU 5.4GHz.
