6850 overclocking

[9_breaker]

ive got the Gigabyte GV-R685OC-1GD
its a great card ive overclocked it to :

core clock : 930 mhz

memory clock : 1220 mhz

on stock voltage . i was going to tweak the voltage but its locked. i wanted to know your clocks on this card or any other 6850's to compare my results.

if you want to change voltage i use msi afterburner and under settings you have to enable voltage changes.

my voltage is locked I used Mai after burner and tried to unlock it but it stayed grey. I've heard my card has an unsupported voltage regulator.

try flashing it to a 6870 using winflash.

I downloaded easy boost from gigabyte and it has the option to flash so I'll use that. I've have some questions.

1 will flashing make my card get recognized as a 6870
2 will. I reach 6870 clocks
3 are you sure it will unlock the voltage

 

[nagol567]

mine is still recognized as a 6850 on benchmarks and such. all it does is unlock the voltage and set it at stock 6870 speeds. 950/1250 i think
