Quite a good card, nice PWM. Hope arrives a 6870 Hawk also

what an OC beast!!!
my sapphire 6850 does 1050 / 1200...
all you need is voltage control (supported by Trixx); if treated properly pretyy much every 6850 out there is able to reach thos clockspeeds if you take care of the cooling (sapphire has one of the best 6850 coolers) ;)
Every?Not so sure about that
64c under furmark
thats really awesome temps
hmmm 1000 would be normal?
I can run 975 on Furmark/Bad Company 2 with the Asus card (2100 on the rams tested) , this with no voltage adjustments. For 3D benching though it locks up in nature with 3Dmark03...needing a bit more volts there.
Thinking most cards will do 1000/2100 daily with 1.2-1.25 and good cooling... (Asus card it soo noisy over 50% fan speed)
How high does the MSI go with VGPU Subzero with Afterburner ? (Smartdoctor allows up to 1.35Vgpu)
EDIT : I was able to run all benchmarks (03/05/06) at 1000/1200 with 1.225vGPU
furmark isn't much of an indicator when i can run 820mhz core on the 4850 with furmark, but only 750mhz crysis bench. actual games stress the chip way more realistically.
Yeah, seriously...Quote:

The drivers limit the card when they're running Furmark. Try renaming the executable and see what happens*.Quote:

Um, yeah. I did 1030/1275 with a reference XFX HD 6850. MSI's Cyclone coolers are quite nice though.

can't wait to push this thing even further :D
I did some googling. Since the HD5870 there has been a VRM monitoring portion in the GPU itself, which throttles the card back a powerstate before the VRM gets overloaded. Also since Cat9.8 renaming furmark.exe doesn't do the trick anymore (apparently, I haven't checked this) because now the texture-to-ALU instructions ratio is checked to prevent tools like furmark and OCCT from overloading the card.Quote:

wow thats interesting, weird how i dont remember this at all. i knew about the heat throttling though, and like that idea.Quote:

to prove that there is something like this working, the framerate between a 4870x2 and 5870 should be way different, with the 5870 loosing.
Very nice. It's become my cooler of choice now for mid range cards, I'll definitely want the cyclone coolers on whatever I get next.Quote:

With how much noise + temps though? The cyclone coolers still remain silent and provide much lower temps than the reference blower coolers do.Quote:
