Overclocked GTX 670 Card

Is it worth getting an overclocked GTX 670 card compared to the standard card? That is, will it have an significant effect with Premiere Pro, particularly with CUDA acceleration?
Thanks

Differences will be marginal, so if the price difference is marginal too, it is worth it, if there is a clear difference in price and a hardly noticeable performance gain, then no. In this short list of 670 cards, the Palit and Gainward cards @1.006 GHz look attractive.
These last two choices are hardly more expensive than some other cards @ 915 MHz.
The performance gain will be best noticeable when you do a lot of MPEG2-DVD encoding from HD material (scaling), or do FPS adjustments (frame blending) on export, since both are accelerated and when you use Maximum Render Quality.

Can I get my GTX 670 card to be compatible with Prem Pro CC and Speedgrade cc on my windows machine?

No need to hack anything in CC:
"(...) This is no longer necessary in Premiere Pro CC. As long as you have a reasonably modern card with at least 1GB of VRAM, you will still be able to enable that card in the Project Settings dialog. A warning message will appear letting you know that your card has not been certified by Adobe, but once that dialog is clicked through you can use your GPU."

AFAIK SpeedGrade uses CUDA and/or OpenCL depending on availability, so no type or model white-list, with this one limitation only for Direct Link on Mac: only NVIDIA OpenCL is supported (NVIDIA CUDA and AMD OpenCL are not currently available with Direct Link on the Mac platform).

Three displays with GTX 670 -- duplicating desktop problem

Just got a new computer with an Asus GTX 670 card.   I am running 3 displays: 1. (Main) Dell U2412M via DVI port,   2. Old Samsung LCD monitor via DVI port with VGA adapter, 3. Samsung 59" plasma TV via HDMI port. I am trying to duplicate the desktop on my TV, but the card will only allow me to extend the desktop to the TV. TV goes blank when I try to duplicate the desktop. I am able to duplicate the desktop on the TV when my third monitor is not connected. My old Samsung monitor displays an extended desktop which is what I want.
If anyone has figured out the workings of this new card, I'd like to know if it is possible to duplicate the desktop on my TV with my setup.   Thanks

Yes, as I mentioned in my post, the GTX will extend the desktop to all 3 displays, that is, I can move a window from the main monitor to either of the other two displays. I am trying to duplicate the desktop on my main monitor to the TV so they show exactly the same thing, as one would do in a presentation with a projector.   This is possible if I don't use a third monitor.

Incredibly terrible overclocks with MSI GTX 670 PE/OC

Been using my GTX 670 PE/OC for about a month now. Since the card was supposedly made with overclocking in mind, I decided to give overclocking a try. To my astonishment, the card is perhaps the worst card I've ever had for overclocking. Using MSI afterburner with voltage turned all the way up and power limit at 114%, I could barely overclock to +20 on the core and +600 on the memory. Even at that overclock, BF3 is crashing all the time, especially when I'm doing well. Its incredibly frustrating. The only reason on got the Power Edition from MSI was because it was supposedly designed with overclocking in mind. Had I known it would be so terrible at overclocking, I wouldn't have gotten it. Am I overclocking this card wrong or is this card a dud?

Overclocking is a matter of the individual sample. One might clock great while another of the same model won't. A great board design is useless if the gpu is just a bad draw. The memory doing + 600 Mhz is an absoluely astonishing clockrate only very few GTX670 or 680s would make.
Note that overvolting the GPU is locked due to Nvidia forcing MSI to and any set voltage will result in no more than 1.175v unless you have an unlocked vbios and the right Afterburner version (2.2.3 or 2.2.5 beta 1). Please read >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<
For further assistance add your system specs.

Four displays on one GTX 670 graphics card

For anyone needing or wanting four displays driven by one card, I just successfully hooked up my fourth display to an Asus GTX 670. I needed a Displayport to DVI adapter for my fourth display. The HDMI port is connected to a Plasma TV, but I'm sure I could have hooked up another monitor instead if I wanted.
By the way, I was concerned about using a long (50 feet) HDMI cable to the TV, but it works great. In reply to an earlier poster, I could edit on the plasma TV if needed, but I'm only using it for display. In my opinion, an HDMI cable is the ultimate method for getting content from a computer and/or internet to a TV.

The HDMi 1.4 cables that are heavily shielded are exactly what you want for that kind of cable run. I have a setup at my Father in Law's house with 50 Foot HDMI 1.4 cable and it runs great. It's also what I recommend to our clients since that is really far outside of DVI or Displayport's spec.

GTX 670 Overclocking itself?

MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB
I got this card 3 days ago, and I noticed the core clock will sometimes jump anywhere from 1019 to 1215 randomly.
Also the shader clock will jump up to 2430, is this normal?

Yes it is

Unable to overclock GeForce 670

NVIDIA driver: 310.19
This card is factory clocked at 1000Mhz.
In linux, it is stuck at 705Mhz (under load, max performance).
I am unable to overclock this.
Is there a work around here?
Any input is appriciated.

I think that information that the nvidia driver is reporting is incorrect... I get better performance on Team Fortress 2 on Linux than Windows yet the driver shows on "Performance Level" 2 and 3 the "Graphics Clock" is 705 MHz and memory at 3004 MHz but on Windows I see higher "Graphics Clock" 1019MHz - 1228 MHz
While I think "Performance Level" 2 is correct... 3 isn't

Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
-Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
-8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
-1TB 7200RPM HDD
-nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
-Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.

MSI Afterburner 2.2.4 - Voltage oc nerf for GTX 670 PE / GTX 680 Lightning

Looks like Nvidia has given MSI a bashing for allowing voltage adjustments with these cards.
Disappointing as the actual box states:
Quote from: mikeo, OcUK Forums
Yet another new version just released:
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm#
MSI Afterburner Version 2.2.4 (2012/9/18)
- Added new graphics cards support
- Change the NVIDIA Kepler series voltage control mode
And it's the 2nd item that is maybe of interest to those of us with Kepler based GPU's! Basically the GPU core voltage has been now locked for all cards (including the 680 Lightening and the 670 PE) to 1.175v. This by all accounts was by the direction of Nvidia/MSI themselves.
Suggested reading is the last few posts on this thread at Guru3D (post #67 onwards):
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=364858
One quote from Unwinder:
it will be standard 1175mV, similar to all other 680 on the market. Advanced core voltage control of Lightning will be totally disabled, so it won't be different comparing to any other 680.
Though there are still two ways round this.
1) Continue to use version 2.2.3
2) Use 2.2.4 (or later when it becomes available) but use the work around that Unwinder gives in a later post.
Looks like Nvidia is continuing to put the pressure on to prevent any sort of meaningful voltage adjustment.

Sadly Nvidia really dictated this cut down. MSI had to follow. I keep on using 2.2.3 which keeps everything as it should. Poor 660ti users have no choice as only 2.2.4 supports this model. Right now there is no workaround for that gpu.
It's a shame really, I already have a GTX 670 that does 1340/7406, but on Thursday I decided to buy the MSI GTX 670 OC PE, having read this:
Quote from: HardwareCanucks - MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC Review
MSI’s cards have continually impressed us with their willingness to overclock to impressive levels. With a bit of coaxing via MSI’s AfterBurner software to maximize the Power Limit and add 100mV to the core and memory voltage (PLL was also increased by 50mV) the GPU hit an impressive 1388MHz while the memory petered out at 6524MHz. Both of those clock speeds are personal bests but we have a feeling like there’s more in the tank should MSI decide to release a GTX 670 Lightning.
For those of you wondering, at these speeds, the actual Boost clock we typically observed in games was between 1450MHz and 1465MHz.

I got my MSI GTX 670 OC PE on Friday, will see what it can do tomorrow, even at factory clocks it should be on par with a reference GTX 680, I only game at 1920x1200 anyway, so it will be great.

Msi gtx 670 PE throttling

Hi!
I have a weird issue with my card. During for example 3dmark 11, this card throttles down gpu mhz. Even with stock clocks.
Power target never goes over 103%, even if i put it to the max 114%. Temperature never goes over 65ºC so that doesn't cause this.
Gpu mhz jumps all over the place :(
I don't understand what holds this card back??
Thanks, hopefully somebody understands my bad english!
Immppa from finland

Hello,
I have the same issue with my GTX 670 PE/OC.
The GPU is throttling everytime when the power reach ~100% (my temp are very low, like ~57° maximum with aggresive profil fan)
If the power is less than ~100%, the GPU is not throttling.
The problem is that on mostly all game, the power is above 100% with all details maxed out @ 1920*1080 (Guild Wars 2 / Crysis 2 / Far Cry 3 / Borderlands 2 ...)
On 3dmark 11, the card doesn't throttle only on the 4th bench !
Tested on Kombustor and it's worse, throttling on all test with a power of ~103-105% except two of them who the power are ~80-95% !
It's a real problem with a card who is designed for overclocking and max performance ... :/
I have the latest nvidia driver (310.70 WHQL) and it's a fresh install of windows 8 pro)

MSI GTX 670 PE power throttling

Hello guys
I had this GPU for a month, it hasn`t been running very stable when playing BF3 and Shogun 2. SO after trying few things, different BIOS I downclocked it by 40 Mhz and it runs fine. Downclocked it boosts at 1124 Mhz.
0After playing BF3 for a while I noticed couple of times that my FPS went from 70s to 55-60. That is 20 fps loss. When this happens I check core clocks for throttling and what I see everytime is that clocks are the same however power consumption goes from 90% to 80% and I think this is why I get this big loss of performance as every other factor stays the same but the power draw. The GPU is overclocked only on memory by 600 Mhz as every OC on core I have done, no matter how mild just wasn`t stable.
Could someone advice me what to do to keep the power draw more or less the same as 20 fps means 25-30% loss of performance and this irritates me.
Thanks for any input.

Quote from: flobelix on 10-January-13, 03:31:32
What should that mean? Decreasing power limit means donwnclocking and preventing boost . That has nothing to do with the decreased power consumption you reported of. Lower real power consuption does not decrease boost clockrates but enable full boost.
I don`t know...But have you tried it? As I said, my clocks are the same, GPU boosts to 1124 Mhz and stays there.
It hasn`t been happening now for a couple of days after I flashed an older official BIOS. I have come across someone with similar problem with EVGA card, have a look:

New gtx 670 PE: need help oc'ing while maintaining longevitiy

Hey everyone,
so i recently picked up a GTX 670 Power edition, and have tinkered around with overclocking it.
so far, i have it at:
+40 Core voltage
114% power limit
+91 Core Clock
+635 Memory clock
I am currently stable running heaven benchmark and playing battlefield 3, with temperatures topping at 67c
now my question is, how safe is it to run +40mv on the corevoltage for everyday use and how far can voltage be pushed before hurting the card's lifespan. I wish to keep this card running at top shape for atleast 3 years, so im a bit worried about pumping excessive voltage through it.
I'm pretty new to GPU overclocking, but have some experience with cpu overclocking so i know that voltage and electromigration are a concern with cpu overclocking and its lifespan, thus im worried about pushing that core voltage slider too far. Can anyone give some advice?
Thanks!

You are absolutely safe. You can't set dangerous voltages with Afterburner as long as gpu does not overheat. Your 67°C are very fine. You are 30°C from the max temp of 97°C (http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-670/specifications) so that's brilliant. Right now there is no problem with shortened lifespan in your case.

Will there be a Twin Frozr version of the GTX 670?

So i'm looking to build a new PC soon, and was wanting to get a Kepler graphics card. I can't quite afford a GTX 680, but i've always liked the Twin Frozr series of cards/coolers that MSI do. Given that the GTX 670 they've already released looks mostly stock but is already factory-overclocked, and given the slightly odd form factor of the 670 reference card (the base PCB being much shorter than most cards, with the fan actually sitting behind the PCB and making the card seem 'normal' length) are we likely to see a Twin Frozr version of the 670, or is the current version MSI produce likely to be the only one we get? If we were looking at similar timescales from reference card release to Twin Frozr release as the 680 i'd have hoped to have seen the 670 version by now.

Cool, ta. I googled for 'MSI forum' and somehow managed to miss the 'Users-to-Users' part of the title. Fail on my part. I actually already have a query open with MSI Support but didn't seem to be getting a reply. Theoretically they're ignoring me as they can't answer my question for whatever reason, or they're just really busy.

MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC max temperature?

I've had a MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC working great since October 2012, no problems even with the most demanding games.
But now the summer heat has come (it's 40°C in the shade) and I've been getting crashes (classic TDR, no video signal, windows reboots) when the temperature of the GPU gets to about 80°C. If I leave the case open, it never reaches that temperature and works great.
I can't find the temperature specs for this card, but the reference GTX 670 should run up to 97°C.
Is this normal? What is your maximum stable temperature?
P.S. I don't overclock, anything.
Thank you

Hi there,
the only think I could suggest is that ...
1st. do you have adequate cooling in your system..i.e. case fans etc,etc, and to ensure theres no obstruction to cooling fan on vga card, always an alternative is to install what they call an exhaust blower fan place that directly underneath your card and that will extract heat away, I had the same issue with my MSI 6570 card and as soon as I added an exhaust blower mine runs at 33oC and i'm pushing my card to the extreme and temp still stays the same... if that fail then your gpu cooling issnt running fast enough to supply adequate cool air...
I hope that will help you

MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670

Hello
Having a slight problem with my gpu, maybe it is not a problem though.
My MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670 is idling at a great temp of 28 Celsius.
When I play battlefield 3 or future soldier my card temps hit 80 degrees, I also hit 82 degrees in fur mark.
Is this high temps for this card
thanks

Well I guess your card is a GTX 670 Power Edition because that uses Twin Frozr 4. 80 or 82°C is by far no problem especially not in Furmark. Besides the Twin Frozr 4 has more potential and gets my (much overclocked) GTX 680 Lightning to stay at 60°C under load but I have a very decent ventilation in my bigtower case. So with better airflow you'd have better temps but none the less the current temps are still far from problematic.
