Hey, just wondering what it means when that 3D cube looks like it's growing fuzz on it during the max core/memory tests in ATItool.

artifacts.. gpu or memory going too fast..

Oh, so I suppose that's not a good thing... my x850xt was gettin pretty fuzzy on core test but that was only once it started clocking above 750... hmmmm.

Wo wo wo wo. 750?? Core or memory. Also What kind of cooling you got?

Also what voltage you got it running at?

Hah core for sure. It's wierd I got it up to 750 on core and it only heated up to about 56 degrees celsius. That's with the stock cooler on the HIS video cards they call IceQ (this was IceQ II). But, once I messed with the memory at all, the temps went up a LOT faster than that. I hear that this card can overclock like mad, but I'll need a better cooler in order to get the memory up to speed with the core.

Shit, that awesome but strange as well. Yea it is EXTREMELY overclockable with the right voltage and cooling!! How long was it running on 750, and on what voltage level?

Honestly, I don't know. I just did the "find max core" test on ATItool. I don't know if that messes w/voltages automatically or not, but if not, I sure didn't change anything.

Oh, and it was running on it only for a few seconds in the test. It even went well above that, but that cube started getting pretty hairy.

It shouldn't touch it unless you have an ASUS mobo with AInos in it. But dam ur a lucky man to have a card that can overclock like that so you can problably run around 600-700 with no problems. To bad my ATI couldn't do that untill I tweaked the living daylights outta it!!

Yeah, but it runs 520/540 right now. If I were to overclock it, should I keep that 20 gap, or could I bump the core up w/out bumping the memory too much?

What games do you play that it helps to overclock that much?

Well, 520/540 are the default clocks. Right now I play F.E.A.R.
