MSI Twin Frozr II R6950
No matter how much or little I overclock the core or memory I get absolutely no performance gain, in fact I seem to lose a couple FPS. I'm only going up 10mhz at a time and testing (takes a while like this). I got up to as high as stock 6970 settings (880mhz core/ 1375memory) to no avail. I'm testing with Furmark, BF3, and Skyrim. The ONLY thing that has made any difference is turning the power up 20% in CCC. Seemed to pick up an obvious few fps.
I've tried oc'ing with just the CCC, I've tried Afterburner, Trixx, etc... I've turned off the CCC completely and tried afterburner (with the .cfg fix to full unlock) etc.. NOTHING.
Also noticed in Afterburner if I mess with the voltage at all, even a little bit I'll get kicked out of my games.
Performance is great at stock clocks, I'm not complaining but damn everyone talking about oc'ing theirs to over 6970 stats and unlocking shaders etc... why can't I?
Thanks
