    i was in rivatuner/ati tool doing 1100MHz core and i think i even managed to do some '01 nature at 1050 or 1100 but i could not repeat it later as i didn't make notes on voltage used

    i could run nature '01 at 1Ghz core but lobby will crash almost instantly

    the setup is perfectly stable at 4.8GHz so that wasn't giving me issues. It was the card.......

    i could for example start off with lower clocks and increase the volts a lot just for the sake of seeing if it could handle higher volts................... >> 1.9v loaded no probs...evap temp stays at around -48C and if there is a 20C delta i should be in a safe zone...i had a ~15C delta at stock clocks and volts

    but if i try to use 1.9v volts with slightly higher clocks...say 800Mhz linked.....it bombs out instantly. i get a black screen most of the time....the pc seems to be running as i have FF codes and it doesn't reboot...just black screen....the volts on GPU change to idle volts (so 1.85v roughly)...........i would also get freezes occasionally too
