AMD - How To Overclock The Official Way Using Afterburner + Step By Step Overclocking Guide + Comple

Hmm, no idea then tbh unless that 7850 owner comes forward and shares his oats.
I think all 7xxx cards have a limit of 0.125mv which you can add before over current protection kicks in and the gpu shuts down requiring a restart.
I know this is the case with 7970's as i can make it kick in when using OCCT GPU 4.3.
Uisng this calculation my stock volts are 1.112. Plus 0.125mv = 1.234. So, if i exceed that voltage in afterburner then there is a chance of OCP kicking in.
Find out your stock voltage, add 0.125mv and you should be good up to that. Maybe leave a little bit of leeway.
I can trigger OCP in my 7970 @ 1.2volts which is a fair bit under my limit but these power virus software really push the cards beyond normal levels.
Exact same problem, followed all the steps as outlined as well. Ah well
Its because afterburner voltage control is not supported in your card yet. Try the latest beta version of afterburner, if that doesn't work then you need to wait for it to be updated.
Yeah, I am just using the CCC Overdrive now. It seems to be cruising along happily at 1100 core, 1300 Memory. This will do just fine for now
Yep it seems as if most 7xxx cards max out ccc overclocks without touching vcore, its very impressive compared to previous gen amd cards.
Probably not but if its the only thing you haven't tried then it might be worth a shot. These 12.8 drivers are insane in membrane.
I just noticed you have the MSI 7850. I don't think afterburner supports voltage control on your card yet, which is most odd considering its an msi card.
You could use trixxx i believe to change the voltage in the meantime.
I've never used GPU tweak but trixxx seems ok. Its no afterburner but it does the basics well and thats all that matters.
Not sure about about using them both at the same time, you might find as you click apply on one it changes the settings on the other.
If you use trixx though you will be on the un official overclock method. However if its that or no overclocking at all then id just go with it.
Thats a higher than average asic you have there, might well be a good clocker.
I'm a member of the msi forum, ill start a thread and ask if they know why afterburner isnt working with their own card and report back here.
Once you've played Bf3 on full ultra with 4xaa there's no going back.
Yep downloaded the patch 30+ minutes ago, battlelog is still down for the update though. Ready to get the server going as soon as it goes live again.
Good stuff never used aa in BF3 as i thought it might be a killer on my 7850 but hopfully if i can get it up to 1100+ are throw in 4xaa
4xaa might be pushing it, but 2x is possible and there is hardly any difference between the two apart from the performance hit.
this +1
other games look a bit pants now though
Yeah its true, the graphics are so beautiful i find it hard to play older favorite games like l4d2 simply as the graphics look so poor in comparison.
Great fun online. A load of us from ocuk play on my server. If you feel like joining us you can visit us here. http://cq247.co.uk/
No it does not, but until afterburner supports your card its the best you can do.
Liam ive had a thought. I'm pretty sure your card will have been shipped with an MSI driver install cd, on that cd will be a copy of afterburner. You could try using that version, maybe that version will let you use voltage control. Its a long shot but worth a try.
Alf you haven't lived. Try out battlefield 3 asap!
Sleeping dogs on extreme makes metro 2033 seem like a cakewalk on the gpu, visually sleeping dogs looks superb as well.
Good idea mate i'll try and dig it out! Just cranked up the core to 1080 on stock volts and played BF3 just fine
Yeah thats pretty good. Let me know how you get on once you push it as far as it'll go without a voltage bump. Run it at x2 then try x4.
Thanks for that mal, i have managed to get mine to 1100/1200 on stock volts but still having no luck at all unlocking voltage with AB

They seem to think it should work. Maybe try the superb 12.8 driver liam.
I don't know Mal, im really not experienced with trixxx. In my eyes its still a poor mans afterburner.
I use 1.175 @1200 Core. Stock for me is 1.112 and thats good up to about 1120.
