Asus GTX 470/480 to increase performance by 50% via Voltage Tweaking!

EDITED- Well I'm not sure. Does anyone know if you still get CUDA when the Nvidia card is only in there for PhysX? I've never tried an ATI card with Nvidia PhysX, but I will give it a try. I'm getting a 5770 today, so I'll throw my 8800gts in there for physX and let you know if I can get it to work.

I've always belived that fermi would use a new physix engine for the sled demo, hair demo etc..

So 5970 and a dedicated physix card could run the sled demo exactly like nvidia did it?

I have no idea about the cuda.. need some experts here!
 
Edited my post there...I will give it a try and let you know later on today. If it works for me, it should for you too as these two cards are just on a smaller scale.

Oh thanks a buch man :D !! If it works on you, and i'm not pleased with 480 then i'll go with 5970 and 275 as dedicated Physix/cuda :)
 
OK I FINALLY got it to work, after hours and hours of trying. Using this ''patch'' that I found did not work....so I had to resort to using old drivers with new physX drivers.

Follow these instructions to the T, and it will work-

However, sorry to say but this ONLY enables PhysX, not CUDA. So I don't think this will give you the results you are looking for.
But for me, PhysX is what I wanted to boost my Vantage score VIA the cpu score being 3x as high as without PhysX. Total score without the PhysX was 9700, now it's 11k+ with NO other changes just PhysX-

Note, I'm only clocked to 4ghz right now because I'm running the stock CPU cooler.

Next step, overclocking the 5770 WOOT!

dude you overclocked to 4.6Ghz on a stock cooler? whats the temps like?

I said I was running 4.0ghz because I had the stock cooler in ATM. I normally run a TRUE.

But I have tried 4.6ghz with the stock cooler, gets up to around 103c with prime :eek:
 
I don't see why PhysX/CUDA is so important. ATI Stream is a counterpart to CUDA, and PhysX seems like it's nearly useless....look at the games that support it:

Most people will never play 4/5 of those.

PhysX is all but dead, and will likely go the way of the 8-track once Havok integrates GPGPU tech...

Overclocked the 5770 to the max 960 core clock in the CCC. Also overclocked the 8800gts just to see, and was surprised to see over 1k increase in the CPU score thanks to the increased PhysX output!

PhysX isnt dead, alot of games are coming out with PhysX support. Also, CUDA is by far the best implemented GPGPU sort of tech out there at the moment.
 
^yup, in fact thats the main reason i bought nvidia instead of ati this time around, i spent 30 bucks more basically comparying it to ati's gpu prices, but ti was worth it, cause cuda can do much more..

ATi can't do this now.. not tomorrow, nor in the future without Physix.. Cuda is the real bang for the buck..

Thanks though.. i'll keep that in mind. :) Shame about the cuda.. Whish there was some sort of hacked MOBO who could do all sorts of card in sli+crossfire togheter lol.. that would have been nice...

Damn that cards goig to be impressive!!!!

Im looking farward to tesselation and all the other goodies DX11 has to offer,but at this moment i dont think its worth it....not until DX11 comes into more games!

Every single upcoming game after this month is going do have integrated DX11. Metro 2033 being one of them.

No wonder why most developers start with DX11 after nvidia release 470/480.. Becouse They use Nvidia software/hardware to develop.. or at least 98%..

you should try increasing the voltage on the hd 5770. get that core up to 1000+ :)
