MSI Twin Frozr III OC

How is this looking Ladies and Gents?

1200Mhz on the core

1210mV (drivers crashed @ 1200mV), 5500 Mhz memory clock

63'C under load, 27'C idle

77% Asic

All on auto fan profile, any suggestions for setting one up??

Pretty impressed by this card, first day on the red team.

Wow, >195,000 thread views and I only asked how to overclock past 1050MHz. More people have viewed this than have read the 6950/70 flashing sticky at the top of the section.

The 7850's are without doubt the best card this round, now with them being £139 makes them amazing value when a reasonable overclock sees them battling with overclocked 580's.

^^ don't be silly now, we all know 660ti is the best value

Yup this thread needs a sticky spot also.

..or maybe it is just time to un-sticky the 6950/70 thread?

Twirlywoos · 28 Aug 2012 at 16:26

has anyone bought one of those 7850's which uses the ref 7870 board yet?

I am thinking of getting a 7950 but with my overclocked 7850 at 1200/5800 I dunno if it's worth the "upgrade"

Just ran this benchmark! same settings on a 580 with a modest overclock for comparison and scored 1638. Frames avg! 65, what are you classing as a reasonable overclock on a 7850?

My xfx 7850 uses a 7870 pcb with two 6 pins, highest clock so far are 1280/1520mhz

here's my 3D mark 11 score http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4146024

OK what comes first:
Heat Issues?
or
Graphical tearing/glitches etc?

Got a Sapphire 7850 and overclocked it to 1050MHz & 1300Mem @ standard 1.08v, underload temps barely get into the low 60s if that. Gonna try and get more juice from it but worried about glitches and/or heating issues and wondered which one generally comes first!
Thanks

Is it still better to get 7850 instead of 7870 ?

Yes. Both cards will overclock to similar levels, and clock for clock there is only 5-10 real performance difference between them. Given that the proce difference is ~£40, the 7850 is still the better card.

I also think that the 7870 and 7950 are too closely priced to choose the 7870. There is a much wider performance gap between the 7870 and 7950, but the price difference there is also £40-£50.

So, forget the 7870 unless you can find a real bargain and choose between the 7850 @ ~£150 or a 7950 @ ~£240.

Is it me or did the 12.8 driver update lower the results of your Unigine benchmark points?

I cant get asus to give more than 1050 on the core...should i just download an eariler asus gputweak?

There is also no box to tick to *Overclocking range enhancement"
