matrix vs top

[MOOGLEYS]

for similar price - would people recommend the Matrix or the Gigabyte GHz edition (Windforce)

Matrix is better but is also huge and 3 slots which could make adding another difficult.

Now I have mine up and running I could not be happier. With the core at 1300Mhz I get a slight hum from the fans under load and it sits at around 62.c.

I had 900 on the core and 1.186v this is as low as GPU tweak will go. It indicated this on the meter although it was quite eratic for some reason.

Ok cool

Have you gave any of the benchmarks a run to see what you can get out of it?

ooh I'm so tempted to take a punt on one of these on Monday

only thing really putting me off is touted lengths of warranty returns with this manufacturer vs say the Gigabyte (even if a bit slower)

will have a think tonight - at least at £250 odd its not really much of a gamble

How many volts for 1300 core?

What about the artefacts at stock you mentioned?

I need around 1.325v for 1300MHz on the core.

Driver or Bios issue all is good since re-installing and flashing latest bios.

I need around 1.325v for 1300MHz on the core.

Mine is set to 1.3v for 1300mhz, I max at 1375 with 1.365v I cannot get any higher without crashes.

So it's all working fine? 1375MHz is pretty amazing on air.

That is indeed an amazing clock.

I only managed 1135MHz on my voltage locked top.

I have run it at 1400Mhz but the fans need to be at %100 which is silly loud I only ran through heaven valley once so unsure how stable this really was. Tbh at 1375Mhz they ramp up a fair bit. I have settled with 1200Mhz and 1.256v as it performs nice and is quite. I see no visable difference in game between 1200 & 1375 so will stick with that for now.

The only real downside is the size of the card. There is no way I could run a pair of these in crossfire as they would sit on top of each other and I imagine the top card would melt.
