Speaking of 290X's. My lightning was horrible when it came to overclocking

My Lightning would do 1310 on a stretch under water, too bad MSI wont give me the MSI AB extreme to properly overvolt it.

For AMD reference really is superior in every way as a PCB, UNLESS there's proper overvolt support on custom cards which i have yet to see (Matrix MIGHT be one of them, not entirely sure).

All my reference cards have done 1300 at one point, my fastest 290x did 1345/1775 (That hynix doe...) and 290 did 1400/1620.
 
Is that down to MSI or unwinder being his usual charming self. Great program he created, but he's not the most civil of persons.

I have no idea to be honest, but it ****ed me off to no end that i couldnt fully utilize all those extra phases i PAID for, rather just have them light up with blue leds to look nice.

Not buying anything MSI again to say the least, when i get straight up scammed like that.

Ran this just a few minutes ago, known stable clocks on the cards and cpu. Black screen after the demo, no crash, no bsod. Only thing changed is the gpu drivers. Iirc i hit just over 16000 on the spec in sig last time i ran this.

Even with almost 1.4v my lightning wouldn't even do 1300 Core. Was very disappointed
 
Is there a bug on fs whereby you get a blank screen after the demo? My ab osd was still showing when I ran this and I think there was an error. There was a message saying fs needs updating, but as I was a bit drunk I ignored it.:o will try it again later.
