MSI Afterburner

[kevbiss1]

Anyone else think this little tool is gr8,? simpler than rivertune ,
lets u overvolt, got my 4890 up to 980mhz,at least 1100nhz memory
an my card is a sapphire!!gr8 stuff
Best gpu o/c tool i hav used yet

run crysis at those overclocks and wait(within seconds/minute) for the bsod.
can't get hardly any overclock working on my gpu(4890) with crysis on.

sorry , slight exageration, finished both crysis and crysis warhead, and playing crysis warhead (again!) on 970/1090 no crashes bsod s quite smooth, nothin lower than 30fps on 1280 settings

MSI Afterburner isn't a complete solution. It can't get the core any higher than CCC.
If only someone could combine the functionality of MSI AF, CCC and AMD GPU Tool into one programme.

i just tried those settings @ 1280 but slightly lower overclock then yours (940 and 1020) and it worked, but when i adjust to 1920 all max'd out with 2xAA within seconds it frooze up and crashed. i could be wrong but i think the card is not as stressed at a lower res, i mean i did not play the game for long, only about 5mins but it was stable for that period at 1280.

have you tried furmark with that overclock? i think it might be my mobo letting me down, because others have reached nice OC's like your self.

i tried furmark with core set to 980ghz. it was stable with 1or2 artifacts(small dots appearing)so i guess that was max, so i backed off 10ghz and it was fine,like i said, i played crysis at 970ghz/1090ghz,for 2 hours no probs,when i checked afterburner when i had finished i had only got max temp was 70*c, that was with 1350v set,again all tested at 1280 with 2xAA

Different models oc differently. The worst overclocking 4890s are the Vapor-X models, excluding the Atomic version.

They have, it's called GPU Tool from TechPowerup forum. But the author Wizzard is taking his time updating it.....
