Newly launch always at premium price, wait another 1~2 months sure will reduced to 1.4k

yeah! okay no rush. i want the sapphire tri-x 290 so much. damn good value + beat reference 780Ti

+ a whooping rm1k difference in price!!!

but GTX 680 DirectCU still good for gaming  full 1080p

[WTS] R9 280x Toxic

After Tri-X 290x come into market

Core voltage, that mean your card is using 0.862v.
Is that stock setting? what card is that?

You can use GPU-Z for more accurate VDDC reading since other tools didn't count Vdroop.

er...i'm now overclocking to 1100 ...

I see other ppl with my card push it to 1.3v =X

Will my current voltage enough for a 1100 core overclock ?

Tested furmark.....my clock fluctuate from 1000-1100 repeatedly =X Power tune set to +20 edi

Using 750W Corsair.

i only use 1.3v for benchmarking, for gaming i usually stick with 1.2v-1.25v max.

I don't think .862v is enough for 1.1jhz clock unless you won a huge silicone lottery.

Don't use Furmark, use Valley or Heaven.

I realize both my lethal boost and normal 7970 bios is the same , that explained why there is no change when I press the Blue button =X.

Anyway to solve this ? need flash ?

Meh... just overclock your card with Afterburner. Sometime the 2nd BIOS only bring more problem than performance.

I have another issue...the VDDC stuck at 0.8 v when I run the valley benchmark, good thing is the clock is stable.

I did not alter the voltage at anyways at all...

And the quality of the cooler is indirectly confirmed by the amount of heat it has to dissipate. Run in its Sunday-best form, with the Lethal Boost switched on, the system pulls almost 100W more than a vanilla GTX 680 and, tellingly, 56W more than a Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition card. Remember the increase in GPU voltage for the TOXIC? It runs at 1.256V in standard mode and 1.281V when in Lethal Boost livery. Double-sized framebuffer, extra frequency and voltage increases don't make for attractive power-draw readings, obviously.

It seem GPU-Z can't show the correct voltage for your card.   Does MSI Afterburner showing the same value?

From Hexus review, it seem the stock volt of this card is 1.256v which is plenty.

i use Hwinfo and it shows 1.256 . Guess you are right . Thx

Any advice on oc this card ?

can i see your Benchies Score ? 3DMark Firestrike/ Valley /Heaven

Any advice on oc this card ?

You can go to the overclocking thread here. The guys there will he happy to destroyhelp you overclocking your card.
My only advise is start slowly, 1.256v is already plenty for 1150mhz-1200mhz imo. What is your card ASIC quality % btw?

lol you serious?.. I never destroy my cards before due to even an extreme overclocking...dont worry guys as long as we know what we're doing nothing will goes wrong when overclocking our GPU. just need to monitor the temperatures(core,vrms) by playing around with fan profile, A/C or watercooling.
