Sweet clocks mate!

You're running your pic-e x8 mode man...
bump up the pci-e freq a bit to hit x16 and your scores will be just fine...

hmmm...it can very well be vrm related, I was told a hot vrm would lead to ....., hmmm, whats the word, aah, I am missing the word, basically the card will downclock automatically...

Epic find thanks man. Im in the 4th slot, guess I should move up to the third what a relief!
Thanks for all the help everyone!


and banik I heard about that error correction as well when you clock too high it doesnt crash but gives you worse scores weird stuff. I would rather it freeze up!

error detection is on the memory brother, not the gpu so those clocks and volts shouldn't activate it.

EDIT: Just looking into it a bit more, some interesting stuff came up. I need to read a bit more, but this is the jist.

GDDR5 supports a function call "Interface training". Upon power up, the controller and memory train each other for bandwidth and frequency.

Just a 5 second theory of mine, but could you try setting your clocks to boot at the intended bench speed? Maybe the interface training will make some adjustments on a fresh power up that wouldn't happen otherwise?

[Splave]

interesting indeed

What OS you using? Try Vista 32 if your not.

[Splave]

using win 7 x32, vista x32 faster?

I absolutely hate Vista 32b for benching. Kills my cpu score by 1000 points in 06.
