R6870 Lightning

[maxzuk]

Sorry for the confusion mate i work old school number Afterburner changed it all to Mv so 1.25V core is = to 1250 Mv

so core would be 1250Mv
and MEM would be +40
Forget i mentioned AUX voltage i forgot it's already pre bumped to 1149Mv
Did you set the switch to the middle(most people don't know about the extra powertune it gives)

Do you mind if i ask why you bought the 6970 lightning over the asus direct Cu


oh and some good reads

try to ignore the reviewers who just seem to bang the cards at max voltages.
For the longevity of the card try to keep it below 1300Mv on the core

Thanks so much for your help as im a bit rusty on this.

All tests ran and runs fine, but have to say moving slider to middle setting gave best boost.

Cheers again Nigel

Just need to sort out why afterburner wont boot on startup and real happy bunny, have tried the tip as running as admin but still no joy.

BF£3 now runs everything optimum except AA which still at 2x but may try wacking it up.

No probs mate sorry i didn't catch your post sooner, So the middle setting definitely improved performance, lots of morons out there don't know about it and even a lot of MSi staff don't either.

I can help you make it start at start up but first are u using windows 7 , sound stupid i know but i was using a DX 11 card with windows XP for a while

I'll just tell you for windows 7.

Goto you afterburner stored location usually C drive
open program files x86
open msi afterburner
right click msi after burner (says application next to it)
goto send to and scroll to send to desktop(create shortcut)
this will put a shortcut on your desktop
left click your start icon
click all programs
scroll to startup folder
right click and open all users
Drag the shortcut you placed on your desktop earlier into the new window/folder it opened
Exit all programs and then restart
Voila afterburner will now stat on startup
