"Rbby258 tool does work. +150 = 1.32volts."

Can do 1.325v on any ncp4206 based card, like reference 780's.

Will wait and see how tomorrow go's down but so far I'm far from blown away.

Have a horrible feeling this is going to be 7970 lightning all over again.
 
Again I'm not really blown away, 1241mhz isn't exactly unheard of on a 780. That elpida memory can't be great if they can only manage 6.6ghz, though both could be down to the overclocker and not the card.

Will wait to hear from owners rather then reviewers.

Clocks are quite poor, I have seen Khemist and whyscotty running their Titans at much better clocks.
 
We won't really know until the card is underwater with a full-cover block, we have LN2 and Air results. The LN2 results are 'the best', the air results are 'meh'.

1.4GHZ is where my interest lies, if these cards are capable of it under warm water then I am going to have a tough time ignoring them.

Regardless, I would not fancy running one of these puppies at 1.32v on air.

If you get a lightning, don't forget to post in one of the benching threads.:D
 
Even the 1.4ghz bar has been raised again, many are getting titans on water well north of 1300mhz with the recent developments, for us mere mortals that means clocks in excess of 1500mhz are going to be required to keep up the pace.

Overclocked
Core Clock: 1178 MHz
Boost Clock: ~1333MHz
Memory Clock: 6840 MHz

Now then, overclocking did get more complicated as increasing the Boost functionality has an effect on voltage and thus power consumption which effects the maximum allowed board power and so on. So really it is a matter of trial and error and finding your preferred or maximum balance in terms of extra performance versus noise levels.

We found a very sweet tweak that will bring your boost frequency towards 1320~1333 MHz stable, it will fluctuate depending on power draw / limits. Feel free to try our settings yourself. We applied:

Put the card BIOS in LN2 mode (clock freqeuncy will be reference, but offers slighgtly better OC results)
Power Target 110%
Priority set to temperature
GPU clock +315 MHz
Memory clock +425 MHz
Voltage +100 mV
Fan control RPM 75% (becomes a little noisy)

Should be good beyond 1400mhz on water with some cards surely? Depends whether the reviewers got the best cards or not.
 
God I hope it's not 'too' cheap. Otherwise I'll have to return the one that arrived today (thanks OCUK). I'm calling £570.
