I just got my 6870 yesterday (Sapphire), and to be honest I'm not really used to OC'ing VC's...

I can say that I'm really impressed with the performance and video quality though!
My 3D06 score was right on par with the 4870/4850 CF settup I was running (before oc'ing then new card).

I used CCC to overclock it and ended up with 945 core and 1135 Mem (auto OC).
I get the feeling the card actually has alot more in it because the fan speed never really even kicked up, and I'm sure CCC doesn't push the card too far.

Could someone reccommend a good bench to really push the card, so I can stress test with confidence?

Also, since TriXX isn't available yet to allow voltage adjustment, what would be the best software to let me push past 1000 core (Afterburner)?

Thanks... Dave
