Hi, I've got the same card, the non OC version and i used that video to overclock my card too.

Just wondering what you were able to achieve?

I was really thrown off by the default clock speeds as they were basically the same as the reference cards?

I guess you only get the overclocked out of the box strix if you get the OC version of the card. I did turn on the OC mode in GPU Tweak 2 but it still was nowhere near as the OC clock.

So I used the video and overclocked it manually. What I was getting confused was other people saying they managed to get like 9.2ghz on the memory clock but mine appears as 4000mhz which basically means 8ghz obviously. But that's WAY lower than what other people are getting?

My current overclock is +150 on the boost so its about 2000mhz now and a +500 on the memory so near the 9ghz that everyone else has been saying.

But i feel that it's really excessive. The card is running stable and very cool to. mid 50's temperature. but it seems to be hitting the power limit all the time and drawing around 100%-105% constantly. I didn't raise the voltage limit too much as I'm scared might blow it up.

Is this ok to be running it like that and what did you manage to get on yours?
