GTX580m vs GTX485m

Does anyone have temperature data on the 580m?

I'm just wondering how the two cards compare. My 485m hits all of 65 degrees after an hour of multiplayer Black Ops (lol) and 82-84 degrees after 5 minutes of Furmark.

 

According to Soviet Sunrise, at the same clocks, his 580M ran 5 degrees celcius cooler than his old 485M. I don't know exact temps, but that's the facts. The card appears to be cooler and more optimized.

 

Interesting. I suppose it's academic in a 485m vs 580m argument though since the 485m already runs plenty cool. Dropping a few extra degrees off already safe temps, even with the extra % of performance doesn't seem worth the added cost to me. *shrugs and goes off to play on his 485m*

 

Did soviet ever posted that ?

I never see him around here lately lol

 

what idle temps does soviet get for his 580m, cause on my 485m i get around 33-34 depending on room temp which is usually around 26 or 27. i used to overclock on my d820, but the 485m is completely different, is there a guide somewhere specifically for over clocking the 485m?

 

I talk to him on Steam, he got his card yesterday and was telling me about it last night. He also mentioned that his card used 2-3 more watts under load than his 485M, and he was wondering where the extra power went. After suggesting that the 5xxM series was supposed to be more optimized for tesselation and DX11 (meaning that matching clocks 485M v 580M or 460M v 560M etc, you'd get better DX11 performance with the 5xxM series), which is what I read here more than once, we figured the slightly higher power consumption was attested to that. But again, that's the only real-world experience we've had with the 580M. I don't know what battery life is like, but I suppose the resellers will be able to give us an accurate description of that.

As for that, it seems the card is worth more than a simple clock boost. This makes me happy.

 

That was under load though, and his 485M was overclocked, so the 580M was slightly overclocked too, just matching his old card's temps for testing purposes. I believe they probably idle at the same speed. The 485M isn't anything to sneeze at either though, so enjoy!

 

its fairly easy actually, 485m owners here usually OC with either MSI afterburner or Nvidia Inspector, both of which are pretty self-explanatory i myself use the latter since its possible to implement under/overclocked settings right at windows startup without much hassle. for stability testing i guess its the classic pair, namely furmark and prime95. let run both for 20 minutes, if the OC settings dont show any sign of a hickup / crash / driver restart then u can be sure theyre 110% stable. tests with 3DMark / Heaven / benchmark progs in general arent as reliable for testing stability, since ud still get issues, especially when gaming for more than an hour at a stretch. admittedly, i "only" got a 9% total OC on my 485m, but at least i can be absolutely sure these settings are rockstable, no matter what

cheers

 

How are your temps with the overclock? Stable 13% OC here using MSI Afterburner and I only get a 1-2 degree increase over normal temps.

 

good job! same here temp-wise, 1-2 degrees more, thus barely noticeable

 

Thanks! These things just don't heat up. I've never had a gpu that runs this cool before.

 

well, i guess a substantial part of that is thanks to clevos ingenuity in designing compact 15" laptops that are able to handle a 100W (!!!) gpu as far as i know, there isnt any other barebone / chassis that is able to do that (but correct me if im wrong )

cheers
