Using afterburner I'm running at 1.015v at 880c 1450mem on my 6970

Uses 50 watts less

That's quite interesting actually. If you look at it this way, 900 for me needs about 1.10v. Now if i were to try 880 like you, i would expect it to need about... 1.05-1.07. But maybe, it might actually need less. Considering the lower core clock and the lower voltage, temps would be mighty low, allowing it to possibly need even less volts? I'm gona try it

Edit: What did you set VID3 as? 25mv less than VID4?

Also, if this works as i think it might, then i would be able to have a more conservative fan speed table (i use trixx for that). As really, even 6950 clocks is all you (I) need, considering i'm only on 1680x1050.

Edit2: well, 1.025v won't do 880, 1.05v testing... <- 1.05v did it, passed a good 15 minutes of gpu tool stability tester, now to test in games.
