Cant seem to find a sweet spot for this card , i set the settings to 822 / 1644 with a boost of voltage to 1.025 and it just doesnt wanna feel stable even at 797 core it just wouldnt hold in crysis 2 ... i reverted back to stock settings and played crysis 2 ran fine but wondering if the pros could help me out

For starters:
1) what type of PSU do you have? what is the wattage?
2) You don't touch the voltage of the gpu unless you are planning to pass above 950 and more.
3) Manually set the fan profile to 90% to make sure your GPU runs cool
I am running my GTX 580 3GB a little higher than yours and I haven't given a boost voltage for it.

There is your problem dude. You are better off buying a new PSU and you won't encounter any problems. That PSU is holding your OCing.

I'll go with the corsair one, they are pretty good, so I heard.

You don't need a new PSU unless the one you have is faulty. OCing a GPU is the luck of the draw. I can tell you right now, that the odds of reaching even 900 (nevermind 950) on stock volts is near zero. It would help to know what your stock voltage is as 1.025 is within the range of stock voltage for your card. For stability on my GPU's I need 1.063 for Crysis 2 at 850mhz. More than likely you just need to bump up the voltage a bit. As long as your temps are good, you'll be fine.

If going to go with Corsair. The V2 enthusiast is a nice one. Pro series is nice too if want to spend the extra $$,but not really a need. V2 has some longer cables like the 8 prong one for the motherboard. The one that is a pain to run cause of the video card(s). I have the 850 version and am very pleased. Got it for a killer deal. Think only ended up paying around $80 for it.
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply <<< There is the new version and old version. Make sure you get the V2.

Glad to hear you got that PSU. You are going to see the difference once the PSU is in your rig. Believe it or not, these GTX 580s are power hungry.

You dint need a PSU unless that one was faulty. And you need voltage I'd say in 90% of cards if you want to go beyond 830/850Hz, 950 is actually where only a handful of cards will reach, one my old gtx couldn't do 950 even at 1.213v.

Didn't need a PSU? are you guys serious? Have you bother even taking a look at his signature? I am pretty sure his rig is OCed.
We shall see tomorrow.

Go to any PSU calculator and check out his configuration, unless he is extensively overclocking his card he should be fine. I have no idea why people start overstating psu's.

He's got a medium system with a couple of hard drives. He's got a moderate OC on his CPU. The Earthwatts is a solid PSU and more than enough to run his system, period. You might get lucky and the PSU is faulty. Your reasoning he needs more power, is wrong.

It is not a matter of calculating the wattage of the parts. PSU units deteriotate as the time passes. It is not guaranteed that the PSU will run 100% all the time. Having the extra wattage helps.

Did you even ask him how old his PSU was? You jumped straight to the conclusion that its the PSU. And it absolutely is a matter of checking how much headroom he has, and has a bit unless he is seriously overvolting his card, which he was not.

Tomorrow we will find out what the problem is. If it is not the PSU, might be the OC you are running on your rig that is not stable enough, but then again if you had the same issue with the GTX 570 and 580. It is always, IMO, to have extra wattage on your rig.

What's with all the random posts concerning his psu? Anyway, you'll need more voltage for a higher Overclock, the stock vid for 580's go all the way up to 1075mv(mines 1063mv stock at 772MHz) I needed to add quite a bit more voltage for 850MHz stable in Crysis 2.

Cant seem to find a sweet spot for this card , i set the settings to 822 / 1644 with a boost of voltage to 1.025 and it just doesnt wanna feel stable even at 797 core
I am not running above 949, I am running above 822/1644
