Looking forward to seeing what they've got up their sleeves next week although I might not be about either. Ours is due anytime now also so we're on pins waiting.

Good luck with everything, hope all goes smoothly.
 
Question for you guys

I normally run a Overclock of 1100/1500 with an increase in voltage of 1.138 from stock 1.031v
Now am starting to think I dont even need this Overclock for games I can run on stock 1000/1250

I dont bench so I wondering how much of a frame rate increase am I really gaining from the voltage and is it really worth it?
Is there a bench that shows the increase going from 1000 to 1100? plus I been told memory makes no real change if not running high amount of AA witch I dont I use SMAA anyway.

thanks

Best way to find out is to bench some games and test the difference yourself using an in game consistent benchmark.
 
From 1005/1250 1.038 to 1100/1500 1.138 is an increase of 10c :eek: playing Rising storm with my overclock last nigh I had 74c with stock voltage and increase on the core its 64c :D

And the best of all my games seem to be performing just the same, looks like I had my card working harder than it needs to be.

Increasing the core clock will generate extra heat, even if you leave the voltage the same.
