Card on air is a POS, I had better OC's with my $370 Asus HD5870. It maxed out around 1000/1250 1.30vgpu 22oC air temp on Vantage.

Only way to make this card shine is LN2 me thinks, not even DICE will 'arouse' her... :good:

Mine is the opposite! :ohcrap:

1000/1200 first try stock volts 1.1v :cool3: Very sick

Nice man see if it scales past 1000/1300. That's where my problems kicked in.

1100/1350 seamed impossible on air for me. My Asus was breezing thru that.

I also believe I received a crappy sample: the box was opened, card was opened and used (fingerprints and vga connector scratches , plus one fan not working with a disconnected cable).

So I bought a new and received an open box from the Egg :thumbdown:

I was able to run 1100/1250 on air. Which I'm able to do with any other 5870 but on this card is indeed meant for LN2 pwnage.

Exactly, same with my sample, these are meant for LN2.

No real mystery here Honda, I use MSI Kombustor and Vantage. Small increments on core and mem speeds till card starts giving me GSOD or artifacts, followed by small bumps on stock volts when needed.

Same results with my sample: 1000/1250 stock volts but as soon as the core passes 1100 and mem 1300 :poop: so I guess I can stick with my Asus or will have to get the new fattyboy around the corner :thumbsup:

haha 1400 core or bust, Just finished erasing it up and nail polishing around the core. Going to leave the metal plates and hope it doesnt condensate alot underneath, sealed them pretty well
