How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

What's everyone's ASIC Quality reading? You can find this by opening GPU-Z and right clicking on the green icon in the top left corner, next to where it says "TechPowerUP GPU-Z". After right click, select "Read ASIC Quality".
It will be interesting to see whether good clockers have higher numbers and poorer clockers have lower.
Mine is 84.9%
heres mine..
might have something to do with the volts being passed through at the time, as the 1st card reads 84% and has 1.176v where as this one (2nd card) is stock @1075 and is 82%..

Hey guys, could someone help me out here please?
I have really low heaven benchmark scores with my sapphire radeon 7850...
Here are stock scores:
And here are with 1190/5900 @ 1.120 voltage

Well, the 1st bench seems to be at 1920*1200 instead of 1080...
What driver version are you running?
What driver version are you running?
Those scores are low. You should be hitting about 40fps @ stock @ 1920x1200.
I suggest downloading and installing Driver Sweeper, then unistall the AMD drivers and CCC. Next reboot into Windows Safe Mode and run Driver Sweeper to clean out any old AMD and Nvidia driver leftovers.
After that, reinstall the latest AMD 12.4 drivers and see how it goes.

Still a way to go but thought I would post up my results so far...Temps are staying nice and cool at 59c...So far, So good..
Thats a really good score there, how are you managing to get just over 51fps @ 1080 core?
Dont know? I am using the latest drivers, not sure if that helps, Actually that heaven score is wrong, It is more than that, The 1080 core was not applied at that time here is the heaven score for 1080 core.

What settings have you got in CCC? I ask that as I'm at 1175/ 5300 @ 1.185v and the most I can get is 51.2 fps in heaven. You haven't got that lucid virtu thingy turned on or anything? I've seen that can bump up benchy scores, also what do you get in the Crysis 2 time demo bench? I get somewhere around 47fps in that

1080 core and 52fps in heaven 
I have not touched ccc, just left everything as per install. I only run asus tweak and on p67 mobo so no lucid virtu. I dont have crysis 2 as yet so no benchy on that...all i have done is just bump the mem and core by 0.20 increments...no voltage bump yet.

Thnx i just did that and it really helped!
1900 x 1200 resolution:
stock 860/4800:
FPS: 38.5, score: 970
OC: 1200/5800:
FPS: 51.3, score: 1293
1900 x 1080 resolution:
OC: 1200/5800:
FPS: 56.2, score: 1416
I guess these scores are normal now right?

1080 core and 52fps in heaven
I have to clock to 1175 core to get anywhere near those figures
Your scores are now spot-on.
Try following the process I listed for tomekalmighty within this post. It seemed to do the trick for himI have to clock to 1175 core to get anywhere near those figures
*Always run Driver Sweeper between removing and replacing an AMD card (even when the change is between same series AMD cards). AMD's driver unistall package is completely pants, leaving tons of registry junk lurking about. Same old story for AMD. Good cards, buggy drivers.

Bump the volts up. You should be safe using up to 1,225v so long as temos stay below 80'ish.

Can anyone confirm Asus Tweak letting them unlock voltage adjustment in version 1.2.1.4 when not having an Asus card?
Well I bumped up the volts and managed to get through a pass of heaven, But now all of a sudden my scores and fps have dropped off dramatically, Even though I am pushing a higher overclock..
In the screenie below, The left heaven bench shows the result for the higher clock of 1120 and the voltage bump of 0.02 and yet a worse result!!
On the right, Shows the bench result at 1100 on the core clock and no voltage bump....What is happening here..
Not to worry, I didn't bump up enough volts, I am now showing FPS:
53.2
Scores:
1341
Min FPS:
26.0
Max FPS:
109.8

2124 is no good for me. It severly restricts clocks and voltages when running my ASUS TOP BIOS flashed Powercolor card. 2.0.6 or 2.0.83 seem the most reliable versions for most cards.
