Hah. Yeah, those are SC clocks for sure. I believe the BIOS version for the SC cards are different from the vanilla versions. That's how they factory overclock the cards, they modify the BIOS. I'll see if I can find a GPU-Z screen capture of a vanilla clocked 260 and see if the BIOS version is different from yours.

Here is my GPU-Z shot of a 260GTX Super Clock Edition...different BIOS versions but same clock speeds. He also has the 55nm version.

Interesting...

 

[PabloTeK]

Is yours a 65nm version ScOuT? Mine's a 55nm which may explain the revision differences.

Yeah, he's got the 65nm version.

 

[PabloTeK]

Actually that version of GPU-Z reads every GTX 260 as a 65nm, this version shows it correctly: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=83299

My only guess is that you received a card with a SC BIOS, since both Precision and GPUZ are reporting the same clock speeds.

Seems so, not complaining mind.

Sure, as long as the stock cooling is adequate, and it seems to be, I don't see anything wrong with it. There may be another reason, I just don't know of any.

Yes mine is the 65nm version eVGA card. I am sure that is the reason for the different BIOS between the two. You most definitely have Super Clock speeds on your card though.

 

[PabloTeK]

Yeah, sweet! My aim is to overtake ScOUT & Hyper , no offence, just you're the only active folder near meh!

I can't fold but just a couple hours a day...I work from 0530 to about 1800 at night...long days. My wife uses the computer here and there throughout the day but that's it. My rig with 6 x Sycthe 133 cfm fans is LOUD. Can't run it at night...you can hear it all throughout my house

You'll catch me in a couple days or so.

I am going to OC and let it run all weekend...the race is on pal! LOL I am looking to get up around 20,000 this weekend...catch me if you can!

There... just turned my PS3 on after a few days of having it off.
FOLD YOU. FOLD. SAVE LIVES.

Best thing about my TV is that is has three HDMI cable slots... so I can have my PS3 folding while I'm off on another HDMI channel playing a game on my 360.

For those of you that run Vista, download the F@H Gadget. Enter 44358 for the team number, your user ID, and you can monitor your personal and team points in the sidebar. It's a handy tool.

Doesn't work with Windows 7, not yet anyway. I'm sure a compatible version will be released this year.

 

[ScOuT]

The gadget you recommended does not display right on my computer...all the words are smashed together and you can't read anything. It would be a cool gadget though

I did it, broke 20,000 this weekend...where you at PabloTek...I'm looking in my rear view mirror but I can't see you

 

[PabloTeK]

Had to re-install Vista because Punkbuster doesn't support 7, annoying if nothing else!

 

[zer0_c00l]

i just started folding today doing my little part to help

 

[mep916]

Awesome guys and gals!

Earlier today, I shipped off my 9800 GTX+ for a 55nm GTX 260 using the EVGA step up program. Hopefully power consumption is lower with the smaller die, and I'll be up to ~8,000 PPD.

 

[PabloTeK]

It is a stonkingly powerful card, plus it plays games very well mep
