Just testing this card. doesn't look that bad, to be honest, 1.1G memory and 650c on stock air.

Will post some pictures of the card later on

in 3D load, the default voltage is set at 0.92V for the GPU and 1.56V for the memory

Massman 11th December 2009 12:52

Load = 0,92V
Idle = 1.05V

huh???

vdroop on vGPU?

Massman 11th December 2009 13:00

no, it seems like the voltages are somehow switched: 2D mode = load, 3D mode = idle

Massman 11th December 2009 14:15

Increased Vgpu to 1.25V => 735c is now stable, seems like shaders are crapping out.

How much do you need to make a chance to win prizes? :)

Massman 11th December 2009 14:27

about 1300 probably

Massman 11th December 2009 14:29

Core was crapping out ... shaders are running 2000 now

I'm having the same slow-downs I had with the GT220. As far as I can tell, there seems to be a throttling issue, but I can't tell what's triggering this. Core frequency it's definitly not as the card locks up, not loses performance ... so it might be shader or memory frequency or a combination of the two. My best guess would be memory frequency as I've seen that increasing the shader frequency makes the 3D images go nuts, nut decrease in performance.

If it's indeed the memory again, I'll need to figure out a way to solve this.

I've attached an 06 run with stable clocks. Forgot to increase BCLK LOL.

Competition in the HWBOT category is non-existing ... I don't even have to push to get golden cups: no tweaks, no nothing.

those thumbs are quite small ;)
seems image viewing script overrides the links :(

Massman 11th December 2009 17:07

Yeah :(.

Trying to mount GPU pot right now. Sadly enough, MSI made the mounting holes way too small ...

Mounting is fixed ... card's acting up, however.

Massman 11th December 2009 20:47

Seems like the chipset pot couldn't hold the load, so I switched to Legendary Blind-Tek9.

Massman 11th December 2009 21:13

Something weird is going on. Can't even get 825MHz at -50°C.

I'll do the VMEM modification as well (tomorrow) and see if it can affect the stability

Not my best voltmod, but it's just to try :-)


jmke 12th December 2009 12:30

has a artsy fartsy look to it:)

Massman 12th December 2009 13:02

No difference. It's really strange ... hitting 875/2100 stable max is not normal.

I might change motherboards or even platforms to see if it's the PCIe power
