    vgpu = 1.55V; temp = -100°C

    I was running 1475MHz GPU untill halfway GT2 when either OCP or OVP was kicking in. With a bit more time (and ln2), I'm sure 1475 will be Vantage stable ... and then it's only 25MHz away from 1500 .

    Also did 105k 03 with safety clocks (1400/1250) ... ran GT4 without any LN2 left ... card warmed up to -80°C

    Get some more LN2 Pieter! Do it fast!

    That card seems to scale well, so 1500MHz is almost there. Too bad about the memory on that card.
    You are as good as your samples are!

    With the new 8.71.3 pre10.3 Vantage score should be way over 27k

    I seem to be hitting OCP hard at 1475MHz. Working on the modification for that.

    OVP: not yet.

    ha - I think George has much higher gpu clocks in his backpocket - he's probably just teasing. I want to bow to his real results!

    Is there any chance of someone with a 5870 Lightning using GPU-z to do a quick grab of the bios and make it available somewhere?

    I need it to help BAGZZlash do some testing for RBE

    1600MHz core ? Don't think it's achievable.

    Guys, do you think these will offer any higher clocks on water than a regular 5870 on water ? Or is it all about LN ?

    What do you think the asking price will be for these ?

    you guys using a special bios, or special afterburner to overclock these or hard mods because they dont respond to AB voltage setting.
    MSI says its a known problem but why are the sample cards working? I just want to know if I should return it. I know 4 other guys having the same issue. Also every card 5 out of 5 looks used, has finger prints boxes where all torn up and anti-static bags where obviously re-taped.

    IDK about everyone else, but Hipro5 does all hardmods bro. I think it's against his religion to use any softmods.
