The first home benchmarks of GTX480

its give and take between the two os's w7 better 3d and xp all around.
drivers suck for vantage right not i'm not going to even waste my time with my w7 or vista hard drives(all full os's used 24/7)
most top benches use an img. of a stripped down os be it w7 or xp

 

My, it's been a while. Updated.

 

Somehow, i don't think you do

 

come on gurus you telling me that we dont have any 480/470 homegrown results of are own?
remember toyotas reviews were outstanding look at them now :3eyes:
seems the oposite for the 480 well worth 75usd over a 5870 :nerd:

 

still waiting for my cards to be even shipped out uke2:

 

Pretty decent score for a single gpu, especially with physX on. In unigine 2.0 my rig outscores that one for only 1 fps avg. However, max fps is much higher (look at unigine bench thread if interested). Still, it's just benches. I'm sure that games run much worse especially with ssaa on Would like to see some home benching of Metro and Crysis Warhead...

 

i did not do too much better then that guy did i ran a 23,8 at 5.2 but did not save ss

 

The run you quoted was with PhysX on. Here's one with it off:



Nice run and OC, by the way.

 

What sort of O.C can you get without modding volts? ( and without liquid cooling etc )

 

What I would love so much to see would be comparison 5870/480 and 5850/470 with maximum stable OC, maybe once with stock cooler (temp limited) and liquid (chip limited). Because for me it looks like most of the ppl buying these cards are ppl who don't care too much about stock performance and allways get anything out of their cards they can. So this would show the true performance gap like most of us should experience it.

 

thx its still slow in my book thuo...the 5xxx cards will spoil you in vantage

800/1600 core np out of the box
cool the card down alittle 850/1700(stock cooler)np

 

wait.. did a 8800 GT wiped the floor with a 480 GTX???

whoops i quoted a 480 gtx score with no physx, i tought the non physx screen was your 8800 GT OCed

 

That's about what I see - 800/1600.

As for the 5XXX cards spoiling me in vantage, well, that's about the only place they've spoiled me. My 5850 was a grey screen machine and my 5870, while not a grey screener, has its own issues (multi colored pixels at desktop on idles and hangups at startup)...

 

i never really spent much time with my 5870 a few weeks at most never pushed it but i did have some grey screens. i used it for bf2 and to add to a 5970 it was sweet.
i'll get one in a few years again ost likely.

 

What is with Soft-Voltage Tweaking? Asus has the Smart Dotcor for over volting, its downloadable for the 470/480.

I think there are no or not much ASUS 470/480 Cards out. Could someone test if the Smart Doctor works with other Vendors or is it protected and ASUS came with an special Bios?

My Palit GTX 260 doesn´t work with the Smart Doc 5.57. Maybe wrong Vendor or this Version is for 4x Cards only.

 

Hmm...I'm not into running Vantage constantly. I think a 470 will be good enough for me.

 

I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious here - I've just this evening received my PNY GTX480 from newegg. What utility can I use to overclock?

evga oc scanner is only available to registered evga gtx480 owners.
msi afterburner 1.5.1 doesn't work.
evga precision 1.9.1 doesn't work.

I know newer versions of these tools exist but it doesn't seem like they're publically available yet.

edit: yep, my bad - msi afterburner 1.6.0 beta is available from the guru3d forum . works a treat.

 

Try ASUS Smart Doctor, 5.57 is out for Fermi. You can change the Voltage, ASUS say this. But maybe you need an ASUS Bios, or the Smart D wouldn´t recognize you Card.
