****OFFICIAL AMD 6000 series overclocking and benchmark results thread****

Are any games not stable at a higher speed though, this I don't get, Furmark and other benchmarks(non game ones generally) put a massively higher load on than actual games. If I went by Furmark I wouldn't run my 5850 above 1000Mhz, but not a single game has ever crashed or shown dodgey fps at aroun1 1075/1250, furmark gets upset around 1025/1200 or so.

People should be less worried about whats stable for something they never intend to use again, and more worried about what they can use with actual software they'll use.

Sometimes it will be a big difference due to temps being borderline in furmark and not in games, with great cooling the difference might be lower.

Depends on the person.
I'd rather run stock than an OC which can be caused to crash by software.

True but in this case it wasnt the temperature that was the problem, furmark was highlighting that the memory speed was being pushed too far and the fps dips were indicating the memory trying to recover from errors.

990 core & 1175 Mem & 1.2V on the GPU, and the temps not above 68 Deg C

wont do 1000 on the core with 1.2V
 
Some nice overclocks chaps > 600series..

MY 470 at 850/1700/2000 1025mv compared to antran 6870 > xF - just to keep things interesting--

470 results - max temp 51'c

Notice the difference between are min/max FPS--

Hi all,

Just got my Asus EAH6850, and thought that before I did anything with it, I'd run some benches:

So that's the card at default (790/1000), and CPU at 3.0 (9x300)

My 470 850/1700/2000 1025mv forgot to mention 24/7 stable -

I don't really dig synthetic benchmarks but I'm really impressed with this. I just did a quick comparison with my 5850 xfire set up at similar clocks. Considering the 6870 has 23% less shaders, well lets just say AMD have done a great job with improving the efficiency of the 6xxx series architecture as well as the xfire scaling.

15% faster with 23% fewer cores. Nice work.

What amazed me recently was those charts big.wayne put up showing what appears to be amazing 6850/70 CF performance. Was a little stunned TBH, as they aren't earth shattering in singular, but really shine in tandem. Would definately make me think about CF again if in the market for dual cards.
