Amd Volcanic Islands details

Where does it reach 1200+ with ease? I haven't seen a single website get to those clocks?

Wizards the only one who overvolted and he stopped short at 1190mhz, while the card was spinning at 100% and consuming somewhere around 550 watts.

To give you another idea how poor this power scaling is, a gtx 780 lightning while being overvolted a similar amount consumed "only" 300 watts, while achieving a base clock of 1180mhz but a likely boosting with in game clock of 1300+.

With ease, would imply that all the website could do it, without drastic and generally non-game ruining attributes with it. 100% fan and 550 watts is experience ruining.

And the fact he didn't even reach 1200 with those extreme settings, generally just makes you a liar.

Lol, we are on xsystem m8.. nobody is using stock cooler, its like overclock an Intel CPu with their own stock cooler... with the scaling of overclocking anyway, this card dont need match the overclocked mhz of Titan, like the 7970 before, this card scale really well with clock.. really, really well in term of performance .. like for the 680 vs 7970,,, 50mhz on the 7970, you need 75mhz on the 680 for obtain the same scaling. ( with the 290 it seems it is more 100mhz vs 50mhz ).

No overclockers care to know if the cooler is good or not for overclocking, all we want to know is if it is good for overclocking, not the cooler... the core, the gpu, we absolutely dont care if you can reach 1100 or not with this reference cooler, what i want to know, is what you can reach in term of frequencies and performance with H2o, Chilled watter, Phase change, Dice, or LN2... The first records on Quad CFX have been fall the first day.. maybe they scale not so well in dual and tri, who know

Sometimes i ask me if we are still on Xs... Someone is crying loud about overclocking on stock cooler. what next ? This guy is a noob, he cant push 6ghz on an 3960x with the stock Intel cooler ?
