To overclock today we are using the excellent Sapphire TriXX software tool. Catalyst Control Center is limited to specific speeds.
We managed to get a whopping 205mhz out of the core before artifacting would occur. We also were able to squeeze another 102mhz from the memory, achieving a final effective GDDR5 figure of 4808mhz.
The hefty overclock pushes this card to the top of the performance chart, adding 2796 points to the final score. At these settings, temperatures rose by 5c, which are incidentally still lower than the reference card.
Wow thats dramatic looking. Not sure I can handle the blue !
my sapphire 6870 reference can burn up to 85c in 1minute, and looks like still going up…omg
great temps, my own card hits 88c under load. (6870)
Wow that has to be the ugliest video card ive seen, ever. and it rocks. how ironic.
I enjoyed reading the testing page. I agree, none of these speakers really get it ‘all right’ its a case of finding the best sound to your personal tastes and buying a value set.
Just goes to show that most people who buy 580’s or 5970s to game on a 1080p monitor are just throwing their money away.
a new IceQ? ooooooh i want it sooooo muuuch, dammit.
glad to see that it’s still the coolest and most quite version of an ATI card. though, the difference is less noticeable than on older generations, it seems
I think it looks great. very different and the market needs it. Id like a luminous red video card from AMD with a glowing red fan.
