OC'ing my GPU for the first time.

Please need some insight on how to do this correctly. I don't want to boost all the clocks too high and not have a stable voltage. I understand the clock scaling but i'm still very ignorant about voltages to make sure the card is staying stable. Please please please help me out! xD.

Another thing I noted after I DL'ed EVGA precision X. When I first opened the program and checked the clocks, and voltage, the clocks were at their stock speeds, where as the EVGA precision X had the voltage defaulted to maximum.

Yeah I start artifacting at about 770 core clock but have it stable at 750 and 1100 mem. Getting myself a 560 TI in the mean time until the 660 is released.

A fine, fine card. But if I may ask what are you using your graphics card for? By the way, the GTX 670 is on Newegg for $399 :http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=E...

If you don't need the performance or do gaming; you could save yourself some money. Doing a dual SLI of 560 Ti or 570. That would be more then enough. The Gtx 580 may be 50% slower then a Gtx 670- but unless you truly are looking for the crazy "eye-candy" the 580 will easily run all current applications with no less then 40 fps maxed out ( 2500 x 1920).

As stated... Even the 570 and 580 are barely pushed to the limits; they are older cards. Only a handful of games truly utilize the cards entire potential.

The Gtx 570; will be an even higher bang for the buck. Which you could use SLI for- two of those would easily meet your desired performance. If you are gaming- then get the 670; if your playing Star Wars, Diablo III, or a game that may not require more GPU but rather more CPU. Then you could do a 570 or 580 and save $100-$250 dollars.

I'll be able to point you in a better direction once I know use; but the 670 is overkill for most systems. As in the wonderful world of technology will be out-dated by either end of this year or next year with another gpu release.
