Since I am getting my GTX 670 SC 4gb tomarrow wanted to start a thread on OC'ing the GTX670
 
What is everyone starting at? What Card?

Post your results here...

Me? I'm getting mine tomorrow too! However I am not too much for OC'ing at present...I will wait till you all have worked out kinks and bgs and then play with it...so make mine vanilla....with some SC, Backplated sprinkles thanks.....

+77 Core and +125 Core on the other. I am on water but still working on it. I cannot finish 3d Mark when in surround mode. Even at stock I think it is a driver issue or something. I haven't had time to really mess with memory OC yet.
This Ran for 15 min and I missed the Screenshot so I restarted it. That is why the time is so Low. On Water I have never seen higher then 46C in tests or gaming.

My 670's only overclock by an additional +25Mhz offset.  nVidia's GPU boost already bumps them up to 1200Mhz most of the time though.  GPU boost does most of the overclocking for you, not leaving much additional headroom.

Stock mine hit 1150, have not attempted to push them just yet as Im waiting a few aditional days to see if any problems occur.

giving your + offset means nothing. you need to give your total/max clocks both core and mem.
 
mines 1285 and 3456

Power Target +105
Clock Offset +75
Mem Clock Offset +90
 
That's cool for me right now as any higher and I start having artifacting in 3D. I was at
+120
+125
+115
and in 2D It's all good, but 3D is another story. Driver related I believe.
 

im at 1250 with my 670 SC 4GB, added +100. Havent really tried to go any further than that. But i got no issues at 1250 so im guessing i could probably get it to 1300. Havent messed with it to much. EDIT: cant do 1300, just tried and heaven crashed like 30 seconds into it, lol. Either way 1250 isnt bad.

 exactly. it is driving me nuts to see people doing that. 
 
1285/6554 seem to be a good max for me. I can go higher on the memory but it will impact max core clock if I go too much higher. I think I will probably run around 1240/6400 for an every day oc.

those numbers mean almost nothing so list your actual clockspeeds. 

At 1265 core, 64xx memory I cracked 10K gpu score in 11. Amazing cards for the money

I can only get my 670 4 GB SC to 1187mhz core, 7010mhz mem.

yeah everyone has been doing that since the launch of gtx 680. they just post +xxx all the time. It doesn't tell us anything.

I am aware of this. I was simply trying to give the OP something to reference off of with settings in precision. The numbers I posted above are just some numbers off the top of my head as I am typing this from work on my phone and am not sitting in front of my PC at home. I think this newer way of overclocking with the 600 series cards and Precision X can be a bit to get use to with offset settings instead of absolute values.

Here is a fine read for this.

Thanks for the guide this should make things easier....although I am already using the latest Nvidia drivers for my current card (not long for this world GTX 460) will utilize this guide this evening on setting up new card....

My 670 2gb ftw arrived today
1326 and 3305 on the mem, 1025mv
116, +112, 198 leaving it there for now folding to check stability  :)

i would love to see proof of this.
as they say "proof or it didnt happen"

GTX670 FTW arrived today, 1302 MHz core / 6700 MHz memory BF3 stable so far, will push it more tomorrow...

GTX670 FTW arrived today, 1302 MHz core / 6700 MHz memory BF3 stable so far, will push it more tomorrow...

run the AvP benchmark at max settings at those clocks. I could run 1300 too until I did that benchmark. that benchmark would kick my gtx570's butt too and let me know if an oc was stable. 
 
 
just ran 3DMark 11 and AvP bench at a nice stable 1283/7012. I got 66.1 fps on all max settings in AvP and 10347 for graphics score in 3DMark 11  stretched(full screen). memory was still scaling fine but I decided not to push it any higher than 7012 for now. plus I will run a bit lower settings for 24/7 use anyway.

AvP benchmark went all the way through @ 1302/6700... max custom settings ...

so don carnage, since you got this:

please run mark 11 again withOUT virtu mvp running.
im trying to put a spreadsheet together of performance with actual clocks only. no 'tweaks/cheats/add-ons'

My 670 FTW doesn't overclock for ****e. Even with just a tiny +25 offset, it will lock up games almost immediately.
 
*edit* Out of the box GPU clock reached 1189 MHz on boost.  1225MHz on overclock.

Good results there Don
I'm able to get this:
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3619390
 
quite happy with 10K+ not running max but on a 24/7 clock  :)

curious as to why my 3dmark won't register the gtx 470? says generic card despite same drivers as others....
 
in game under load runs 1250 gpu and 3206 mem quite happily with fans at 60

Thanks John. Do you have a FTW? 

I have a 670 FTW I got a few days ago.  After spending 3 hours futzing with the settings, I got the power to 123%, the GPU clock to +117 and the memory clock to +50.  My max boost is 1292, though I have seen it break 1300.
 
3DMark 11 doesn't like these settings for some reason.  It seems to be extremely picky.  I had to lower the GPU to +110 and the memory to +0 to get it to finish.  I got a 9652 out of it, which is faster than my SLI 560 Ti SCs, which I am happy about, but I was so hoping to coax it to 10,000.  :(  Heaven is more forgiving than 3DMark.
