EVGA GTX 470 Stock Vs. Overclocked

[thebiker3]

My gtx 470 is ruuing at 750 core, linked shader, stock voltage and stock memory, and it has not crashed once!

[SwetlaTG]

I'm looking for game benchmarks but I found only call of pripyat.My vga is asus gtx470 and I'm doing some overklocking and it will be good to test it  with more benchmarks.

[nunoleite46]

Memory 1850mhz???

Tweaking on memory even the slightest bit ended up in the card clocking down real fast when stressed (NV safe sentinel kicks in). The GPU itself with some extra voltage could be taken from roughly 600 MHz towards ~775 MHz, and that's a very decent 175 MHz overclock. Anything higher would either create instability after a while or again that NV SAFE sentinel kicking in and downclocking the card to 400 MHz.

[RonnieB5555]

@nunoleite46 Every card is different and can be clocked to different speeds, yours might not be able to be clocked that high.

[julianpropaMD83]

hi! what about Zotac GTX 570? is better than GTX 470 OCed? with i5 2500K 3.3 for BF3!

[RonnieB5555]

@julianpropaMD83 I'm not sure, have a look at some videos on youtube I'm sure someone will have that CPU and the 570, check their performance and see if you can find the same CPU with a 470, if not look at some reviews and compare teh stock scores and add a few points onto the 470 score.

[TheSimon253]

@julianpropaMD83 my 470 from zotac has quite the same performance as a 560

[MrBigDicked]

What is the max voltaje recommended to use?

[RonnieB5555]

@MrBigDicked Just keep raising it by a couple at a time until the fps in a game stops going up or drops.

[Pedroxpvista]

Rank :D

[Valcgo]

are the OCed settings with stock voltage?

[RonnieB5555]

@Valcgo No, the overclocked settings where done with a voltage of 1037mV

[Valcgo]

@Valcgo oh ok, that what my voltage is set at too. i was just curious, thanks.

[velozes3]

Percebi muita diferença com overclock foram no :Dirt 2,GTAIV,CRYSIS,agora mafia II foi o jogo que rendeu menos FPS.

ja no 3d mark voçe ganhou 3 mil pontos a mais na pt total.

Qual cooler voçe esta usando com o I7?

Na proxima vez faz um video do cinebench 11.5 e do 3d mark 11

@DProductions2011 Have you tried reinstalling your drivers using driver sweeper to clean them out then install the newest driver? If not try and contact your manufacturer as they may be able to replace it and I think (maybe wrong) that they have stopped producing those cards now so if they where to give you a replacement they would have to give you something of the same performance which maybe a gtx 470/460. If not then upgrade when you can.

[RonnieB5555]

@DProductions2011 I'm not sure if it would be worth it for you. it all depends on what you do? If all of the games you play run smooth then I would recommend waiting until your card starts to not perform well in games, but if you want an upgrade for the DX11, etc... Then the GTX 470 is a great card in my opinion, if you have the extra money for the GTX 570/580 go for that, if you can wait till they drop then wait. It all depends on what you use your pc for.

[bigfroggy3000]

my system always crashs if i overclock it like this... why?!

[RonnieB5555]

@bigfroggy3000 Every card has a limit, you just have to start from stock and go until it stops crashing or gets too hot.

[Magowin]

@bigfroggy3000 Set your fan manually the auto fan settings suck when you overclock the temps get too high for auto fan setting to compensate. I run my 470's at 740 MHZ core linked shader with no voltage change with fan's manually set at 75% and temps stay below 85C when gaming which is well below the 105C limit of the card. Setting the fan higher will yield lower temps but it's really loud.

[Brt667]

Knights of Cydonia! Muse rocks :D Cool video by the way, gonna build a PC with this card, do you think it will perform well with a i5 760? ;]

[RonnieB5555]

@Brt667 It should, check some reviews online.

[hadhunar]

Nice video :) Just bought this card.

Now i just wish i knew anything about overclocking! ^_^

[RonnieB5555]

@hadhunar There will be some tutorials on youtube somewhere or on a fourm.

[shalomyo]

wats the temp when oc?

[RonnieB5555]

@shalomyo Check my temperature comparison video

[rja12]

A+ for presentation and music. I usually don't like to view slideshows on YouTube when I'm searching for videos, but you made this one very watchable.

The ending needs a bit of work, sudden, but besides that well done mate

[rcarkk]

Nice. The increase of the clocks gives a good 19% to 23% faster across all the games. Dawn of War 2 give the same scores maybe becuse its CPU dependant. Tell me the max temps you saw in your GPU, fan speed for that specific temp, room and PC case temps. If you can of course. Enjoy your GTX 470. Its more card than the majority of people think. Specialy the ATI fans.

[MultiKidTrunks]

can you make a gameplay (or benchmark but i like gameplays more^^) of far cry 2, mafia 2 or (if you have the game) just cause 2?

Thanks and go on with your videos :D

[RonnieB5555]

@MultiKidTrunks I have a mafia 2 gameplay up and I have the benchmark results for farcry 2 in this video.

[MultiKidTrunks]

@RonnieB5555 yes sry i have write before i look your other videos^^ but a far cry 2 GAMEPLAY will be cool :D

[feli151]

Just wondering, how hot does the card run when its overclocked, did you use special cooling ?

[RonnieB5555]

@feli151 I am using stock cooling and I have a video showing the temps, it is an annotation at the end of this video.

[gixxerich]

to anyone considering a gtx 470 or 480 dont do it, get yourselfs a gtx460 sli setup, ebuyer item number 232853, £320 for two of them and you get 30k on 3d vantage, those cards are really quiet and very overclockable, got mine running at 1087/915/2150

[RonnieB5555]

@gixxerich The 470 is a very good card, also if you get 2 GTX 460's then you cannot add another later down the line too increase performance where as with a 470 you can add another 2. Also it depends on people budgets, they may not have £320 to splash out on a GPU, I paid £250 for my 470 and that is a lot of money for a GPU in my opinion, but it preforms very good.

[sing572717]

hi again .... I bought it really is a wonderful display resolution is a wonderful little cheaper hd 8570 . A GTX 470 Overclocked Really wonderful .

[sing572717]

I think a gtx 470 overclocked is better than ati hd 5870  Is there a comparison ?

[RonnieB5555]

@sing572717 Try googling it or search youtube for 5870 benchmarks then compare them to my video.

[sing572717]

a gtx 470 oc is the best

[4thdimenze]

i want to ask you... can you do benchmarks on assassins creed 1/2 and modern warfare? and how big is difference between one gtx 470 and two gtx 470 ( SLI ) ( FPS difference please...) and can you tip a FPS with nvidia 3d vision... thank you...

[RonnieB5555]

@4thdimenze There is no benchmarks built into Assassins Creed 1/2 or Call of Duty, I only have 1 470 so I wouldn't know the improvement and I don't have 3d so i cant help

[MetalPower86]

thats an impressive overclock man, ill definitely have to overclock my gtx 470 a bit once i buy it

[RonnieB5555]

@MetalPower86 Yeah and I am still not at max volts yet.

[WowVideosbyVessel]

How much fps would I lose from using a Q8300 cpu (quad 2.5ghz) rather than an i7?

[RonnieB5555]

@WowVideosbyVessel It depends on the game, if it uses more GPU than CPU you might not loose much, but if the game uses more CPU than GPU then probably quite a bit.

[kabbedi1]

gtx 470 oc is much faster than gtx 480 ;D ,what cooler do you have on the card?,

[RonnieB5555]

@kabbedi1 I have the stock cooler with the EVGA backplate and high flow bracket.

[peeeete]

I like! Quality video man, well thought out good stuff. can't wait to get my Asus GTX 470 tomorrow, then under water next month, would really like 800mhz core but will take 900:D

[RonnieB5555]

@peeeete Yeah, they are really good cards and you should have no problem with 900 core after raising the volts a bit.

[mrfragger87]

Hey what temperatures do you get (overclocked & stock) in Idle and load? Maybe you can make a comparison video of the temperature difference between stock and oc? I really like your videos :)

[RonnieB5555]

@mrfragger87 Will do, it will be up in a day or two.

[hao9i6]

if you set your voltage to 1.087 you can do 2000mhz on the memory and on gpu z it will show as 1000mhz

[lukilladog]

Physx + 3 billion transistor power hungry overclocked nvidia card = not optimal performance please lower your settings, pity.

[evilcrow1001]

Great comparison.

[muzens]

Brilliant, thank you, very informative.

Are you happy with this card? What GPU did you have previously? How does it compare?

Thanks

[RonnieB5555]

@muzens I'm very happy with the card, I upgraded from 9600gt in SLi and it beats them by miles in every game so far.

[killerkarl93]

@RonnieB5555 I much better than brian

[muzens]

@RonnieB5555 Thanks
