1. Max voltage is 1.175v (the silicon could go way higher),
2. The card seems to be thermally throttling itself at 55C,
3. and I can't even give it +80mhz core in EVGA PrecisionX without artifacting and the display driver crashing.
Mainly #2. I plan to get around #1 with a DIP switch hard mod, which should fix #1.
I'm routinely dropping below 60fps in Tribes: Ascend all settings on high, AA off, and 4xAF. Guess I was expecting a lot more from my upgrade. Coming from a 4890.
It feels like the card is being artificially limited. The Windforce cooler could dissipate gobs more heat, why am I thermally restricted? I want to max out this bad boy to 80C at 1.3v.
