Guys, I don't think FurMark/OCCT is a good test for these cards....at low settings they'll almost definitely run unthrottled and have the really high temperatures. But at high settings they'll throttle (VRM's OCP, not GPU instability) and run at lower temps/amperage.

Maybe something like 3DMark with GPUz running in the background would be a good solid point? Or AtiTool? FurMark/OCCT are just too brutal

FWIW, the hardware OCP is a new feature implemented because of OCCT/FurMark
