    Early OC'ing wall with ASUS HD6850?

    I couldn't find any direct wattage measurements but the +12v fluctuates between 12.334v and 12.398v.

    *Update Tested Kombuster at 1.2v with 860/1075. Fails after 3 minutes (better than 1 minute 30 seconds), but shouldn't upping the voltage by that much allow full stability at a 10mhz core increase?

    Upgrading from 4870 to ???

    If you want absolute performance go after an HD5850; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-386-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-370-_-Product Otherwise an HD6850 is perfectly fine for an upgrade.

    Early OC'ing wall with ASUS HD6850?

    Unfortunately 5% IS on the verge of playable. COD : Black Ops will have between 45-55FPS; another 5% would help the low end. BF : Bad Company 2 hovers around 40FPS, 5% more would help. Which is what I did; I can game absolutely fine on 875/1100mhz, but the problem is that increasing voltage...

    I also read the Guru3d review stating "We were able to get all of our cards too 900mhz on stock voltage and 940mhz @ 1.168 (HD6870 stock voltage), with 960mhz @ 1.224v. Here's my PSU; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817159108 VL-600B

    So in your best guess, is it a bad chip that doesn't OC well or is it my PSU?

    Early OC'ing wall with ASUS HD6850?

    It was $60 ($20 after a $40 MIR (which I never got..)), and it seems pretty decent. Bad brand name? Interesting facts: I ran 900/1100 on 1.18v playing COD:Black Ops for a couple hours flawlessly. Played Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for 30 minutes, my screen freezes for a minute then computer...

    Early OC'ing wall with ASUS HD6850?

    I recently got a DirectCU HD6850 and was pretty eager to OC it. These are my results so far. In order from top-to-bottom; Stock, 825/1025, 850/1050, 850/1075. These graphs are a 5minute run in Furmark, 1280x1024, no AA. Problem: Increasing the core any further results in a crash (tested...
