@sandwichamwin - Well, you don't HAVE TO. But perhaps it helps.. And for those that aren't aiming THAT high as you do, and perhaps using stock cooler, it's a worthy find.. Anyway, it can't do much harm having more info at your disposal

EDIT: @dejanh - you're too quick for me I just editted my previous post a minute ago
More at your XOC card.. I've noticed that before running Furmark you could go to 870/1200. SInce a lot of people are warning NOT to use furmark, as it can kill your card, have you thought about perhaps Furmark being the guilty part of low-OC equasion on these cards?
I've noticed in ncix thread that other guy tried with his Crossfire setup, but he was following your advice to first OC to 850/1100, than "BURN IN" (or I'd say burn-out ) the cards with Furmark, and only than to try lower clocks... Maybe the cards would be working fine if it wasn't for Furmark "burns"? I have to say that I have never used Furmark longer than a minute, and that was on non-oced X1950, so I can't really say if this could be it or not. But way too many people sc**wed their cards with Furmark, so I'm just wondering...
