Id hate to have another lightning 5870 fiasco go down.

I'm up for the task if you want to send it over here.

Ill believe it when i see it Hazzan ;)
Particularly in Indonesia, where they couldn't even supply me a MSI 5870 Lightning on RMA, or 480 standard in the last 5 weeks.

My 480GTX LN2 Run :D
Because LN2 was not enough, did not try 1450 Mhz.
And did not know that is limited by 1400 Mhz.(A/B) :ROTF:
Is setting method more high? :D

Vantage starting TEMP -140c (Sometimes, error happens if if screen breaks or executes vantage at 140c degrees.)
Vantage Running TEMP -155~160c

awesome! can you pm me the afterburner?
Private power for the card makes a difference?

OC difference does not become.

Thoughts? Going to burn this like vince and the REX :shakes:

I think my version of afterburner is broken, force constant voltage is checked but not true. +300 = 1.425 in 2d and 1.503 in 3d. As soon as it ramps up the voltage within the first couple seconds of vantage it freezes.
Is there a version out that actually keeps the voltage constant 2d and 3d or a 3d only bios

You tried raising the AUX?

that grey screen is many times too high vcore at high speeds, maybe your gpu likes lower vcore in GT1, you sure your GFXMem likes 1200 with high gpu from that artifact freeze ?

yeah I will try lower mem speed/volts :) thanks sham

@ hazzan very jealous man!

Just hope to make the breakthrough and make all the effort worth it :)

Anyone else having the force constant voltage issue?

I dont have any problem with AB .....

Left memory clock first...try raise Core step by step...I start from 1200 VGPU +200 - 1250 VGPU +250 - 1300 VGPU +275 - 1350 VGPU +325 - 1375 VGPU +350 -1400 VGPU +350 - 1410 VGPU +350.... after you get good core try raise Memory clock....I run Memory Clock 1225 VMEM +300 and PLL +300 PCIE Set From Bios 115.
