Hell folks, does anyone know what is the max overclock rates achievables through utilities like Sapphire Trixx, MSI Afterburner ..etc ?
I have seen some screenshots with 1030~1060 Mhz core clocks on HD6850 cards, but I find the max you can achieve with those utilities is 1000Mhz (no option to increase beyond that).
I do not currently own an HD6850 but I am ordering an ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU card, and their SmartDoctor utility is also maxxed at 1000Mhz core clock... even though temps and voltages seem to indicate you can go further.
Here at 2 reviews of this card:

And this image show core clock and temperature scalings with voltage increase (from techpowerup review)
So how do you go about to reach higher than 1000Mhz core clocks?
PS: I am extremely new to overclocking, so I hope I am not asking questions that seem too stupid to most..
Thanks guys!
