OCCT 3.1.0 shows HD4870/4890 design flaw - they can't handle the new GPU test !

"QFT?" Even though it has been shown in some cases that reference cards don't crash with OCCT?
I believe that has been pointed out and stated a few times in the thread but both of those have to be repeated since people either choose to ignore those statements or don't read the entire thread...
Also that specific post was buried by other's trivial posts, so I don't find it surprising that people missed it plus it was never properly addressed or disputed.

There are quite a few flaws/problems with the theory that people have brought up in this thread and haven't been addressed. Just because some want to dismiss them doesn't mean they are forgotten...

That wasn't directed at just you. I should have made that clear in the post, sorry.

I haven't seen one post here with anyone with a refrence card with a 3phase vrm that didn't crash that verified that ccc was using default settings and not forcing any post processing.

People crying foul because much like Furmark Nvidia cards aren't seeing the same framerates even though the vrms are definetly getting a work out is getting old and isn't really relevent at this point. Unless there is new as to why that is I just don't see why that matters in this thread. Is this one point supposed to invalidate the test? Although, you are the only one making a point while mentioning this.

Although I do agree that no other app will draw this kind of power from your vrms. I don't even feel comfortable running this test on much lower settings than this on my GTX280 since the vrms hit 100c in seconds, no game comes anywhere near that. I also wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia was using some driver tricks since like you pointed out the difference in performance should be lower, and in most power consumption tests that I have see the GTX280 draws more than a 4870 as well and my overclocked gtx280 hits a little lower than 82A (but I may have had multisampeling enabled in the control panel) in 1920x1080 fullscreen. Lastly we don't even know where this 82A even comes from, that number dosen't make sense since it can't be each vrm and it's not all of them.
