4870 ASUS TOP BIOS (upto 900MHz in CCC)

[Blkout]

when my cards (both HIS) arrived the gddr5 worked flawlessly @max clocks and i was even able to run furmark(i dont recommend using this bench with 4870 by the way)...

a few days later and the ram on both cards had degraded... i could no longer run at those clocks unless i lowered the mem to roughly 1000mhz... i'm wondering if everyone running high mem clocks will see this same degradation...

sorry to hear about the duff card xMrBunglex... lets hope the card you replace it with, is a winner...

The memory won't degrade unless you've increased the voltage excessively. If you haven't volt modded your memory then your memory was probably never stable at that speed to begin with or you have another issue causing your instability. My 4870 has been overclocked to 1100MHz since I got it 2 weeks ago and I've had no problems with memory degradation, nor will I since I'm not increasing the voltage.

This 4870 memory degradation is blown out of proportion about as much as the "faulty" stock cooling.

My honeymoon w/ this bios is over I think. Games are crashing a few seconds in and the comp reboots (this is with setting my clocks back to what was previously stable on my stock bios). Switching to original bios to see if problems still exist.
