I was asking who's been trying to overclock there Fiji chipped cards with Sapphire's Trix software which now has voltage control for them.
I tried it and the results were negligible at best. I can run Firestrike at 1100 mhz on stock voltage and with voltage control it wouldn't even do 1128 mhz.
I've found that using Afterburner makes quite a difference compared to Trix for voltage overclocking.
With Trixx my memory was untouchable, even going 1 mhz over the 500 mhz base memory clock resulted in blue screens.
Although I don't run an overclock 24/7 I tried this with Afterburner recently and found my memory overclocks okay with that. I only say okay because I don't try and push to it's limit instead I simply tested up to 550 mhz and it was fine unlike with Trixx which resulted in instant blue screens. The core clock seems to run without artifacting at 1130 with voltage in Firestrike but something seemed wrong with the results which matched 4 month old 1040 clock results. I had all the usual settings up like power limit and temps were fine but I'm sure there was something wrong with how I was doing it, I just didn't know what and like I said I was only tinkering so I simply put it back to stock clocks to as it usually is.
I'm glad too see the memory isn't the lemon it appeared to be using Trixx.
My overall experience with the Sapphire Fury Tri-x has been excellent. Apart from a brief driver hitch when Crimson released the drivers have been faultless and the card itself is both silent and cool.
The only disappointment has been the overclocking but seeing as I am a stock clock user on a day to day basis the day to day experience is excellent.
