4870 Overclocking Thread

[pH(x)]

It starts getting nasty at 1250, but it does 1245 for 10 loops on crysis. I just backed it down to 1200 since there is no noticeable gains whatsoever from 1200 to 1245, and i like 1200 better anyways.

Now i need to vmod that core and hope for 900+ mhz!

And yes, this is all on air. My rig is shoved in my closet, and it gets quite toasty in there after a while. About 26-28ºC ambients generally.

This card is doing well, but it still gets poor 3DM06 scores. I was doing 18k+ easy on my G92 in the sig, now im at 16kish... No cheats or tweaks, i broke 20k cheating on the G92.

This shows just that one takes synthetic benchmark test better than the other does, it highlights the uselessness of synth benchmarks; except in specific version:version synth test comparisons... even then it struggles to find use.

Ultimately the 4870 1GB overclocked has an order of magnitude more power potential and memory bandwidth, and also a later version of DX10 (???)
