Owners, can you control the power limit in wattman? If so, what is the max setting?

+50%.

Disappointing that the asus one isnt higher than that for clocks. I guess 1400 was a bit hard to reach afterall with aftermarket cooling and extra stuff on the pcb.

The Nitro/Devil preorder is looking pretty good right about now
hehe aye if i was still looking for a new gpu id be all over the preorder price or looking at a 390x
i was thinking of getting a 390 or a 480 then hit the trigger on the 480 20 mins after they launched, regretted it slightly with power gate but that is sorted now and im more than happy with it and it seems to out perform and trade blows with my friends 390 nitro in the next room while sucking a lot less power
would not be buying a reference one at current prices though as the main goal in me buying one was 390 or better performance for the low 200 quid range now their reaching 300 quid ouch

Could have been one of the very lucky few to get one for £175 or £179 too (flashing 4GB to 8GB).

Glad it worked out for you, I'm personally looking to use this as a stop gap to maybe small vega, cos I'd like to move to 1440p in the near future, but whether I stick with the 480 @ 1080p or move up depends on my wallet at the time
hehe aye but that was unknown 20 mins after the cards launched, they are very lucky peeps
cannot fault the card at my 1200p soon to be 1080 monitor

Excellent. I found that my 380 wasn't even being used to it's full potential until 40% power limit, with no overclocks applied. To me, that just says the card isn't really rated for it's own clocks.
But anywho..... it's good you can go to 50%
Thanks! Sick of afterburner causing instant system reboot when trying to overclock AT ALL on Crimson drivers, and OC Guru II not allowing an voltage or power limit control.
a whole night of gaming in scotland resulted in this result
played some doom and hard reset redux the latter was going over 300 fps lol and that is all the max stuff i got on my reference card, must have been doom that used over 4 gig vram

Nice ^. You should try undervolting, you have a high leakage card like me. Try 1.050v and see if it is stable, you'll drop 5c off your temperatures and you can run the fun fan slower. You can also undervolt the memory to at least .900v if you don't overclock the memory.

Nothing could be uglier that that 390X

ice x on the 390 might be ugly but its a hell of a cooler the ice x series of coolers

You know what I think the REF cooler looks miles better than all these after market coolers. Those HIS coolers are soooo ugly, and most of the rest ain't much better. Too much going on sometimes less is more.
