Clocking for 6950.

[CBrooksC]

I got my new 6950 today and installed it and everything but when I went onto CCC and looked at the graphics overdrive. It allowed me to improve it a bit I will show below.

GPU clock settings 800 - 840

Memory Clock Settings 1250 - 1325

power control I could either make this -20% or 20% (not sure what this does though)

Now when I put the first two up to max and played bf3 I for about a 20 fps improvement with no increase to temperature. Now just wondering if anyone else has done this and if it's ok, should I put them too max?

I dunno why but i'm just a little hesitant to do it. seeing as I just got this one as and upgrade LOL.

Anyway

Thanks ^^^

Dont over clock via the CCC Connor, as for the power control, set it to 20% this will help voltages

Do most of the clocking via Afterburner tbh, you should be able to get at least 900 core and 1300 memory if memory serves

As above , clock with Afterburner, i have a HIS 6950 clocked to 950 core & 1420 memory 1.174 volts no noticeable rise in temps ( this card does have a fantastic cooler) been running stable since november.

Can I Run afterburner for GPu and will have CCC for my CPU?

The CCC has nothing to do with your CPU.

You can run the CCC and AfterBurner at the same time, in fact I think you have to if you need to adjust the power settings in the CCC for your overclock.

My ASUS DirectCUII is running 950/1275 @ 1.175v.

It does if you've got an AMD cpu

D'oh

I'll re-phrase that then.

The CCC is a poor way of overclocking your AMD CPU so you shouldn't be using it for that.

thats got to be a typo, card would have popped by now, if not, it's a poor clocker indeed lol

I thought 1.2v was a bit on the high side
