AMD Radeon HD 6850 OverClocked to 1 Ghz !!!

[ashis_lakra]

Nice work Topgear I am also planning to overclock my MSI N560TiGTX TFII/OC to 950Mhz-1000MHZ.

Hey, I'm looking for your Benchmark success.. Cuz i would overclock to see how far it goes

Nice Work!!
So you have the card from MSI, well yours is already clocked higher than mine. I have one from Sapphire with GPU clocked at 775 MHz and memory at 1000 MHz.
All the games I play are good at High settings but still I was dissatisfied with this card performance and Sapphire overall.
Now after I saw your post I think I will overclock it at least to reach post 800 level. Thanks for sharing this and any cautions, tips & help would be great and welcomed.
My computer specs are in my sig.

^^ your spec is enough to handle the OC and for upto 900-925 Mhz speed you won't even have to increase gpu volt though it depends on the gpu.

While OCing keep an close eye on temps ( don't let it cross over 75c ) and if possible avoid using apps like furmark - there's no practical use of it IMO while OCing - for gpu clock speed testing use Metro 2033 and BFBC2/BF3 game and for memory speed testing you can try Rage.

keep HWmonitor running at the background to know about gpu temps and volt levels and create a custom fan speed setting to keep the gpu cool

Thanks for the warning mate, already OCed to 880 MHz GPU clock and 1100 MHz Memory. Load temp was 50 - 55 C and idle temp was 37 -38 c though from past experience I wouldn't let it pass 70 C but as you said winter season has its perks and one is good overclocking on low temp.
Today I try to get past 900.

and if possible avoid using apps like furmark - there's no practical use of it IMO while OCing - for gpu clock speed testing use Metro 2033 and BFBC2/BF3 game and for memory speed testing you can try Rage.

I don't have BFBC2 or Metro2033 or Rage. I just have BF3, L4D2and Lost Planet2 so I will test on these. Thanks again. If it weren't for your thread I wouldn't have tried it.

^^ Thanks for the praise

Great Info and analysis

TFS

 

[topgear]

^^ Thanks .. new benches are in progress ... stay tuned

 

[rajnusker]

^Will be waiting for new benchmarks..

The GHZ edition GPU ,..Waw.!!!

wow great review TG

 

[topgear]

^^ thanks guys .... with stock volts this card runs at 930/1165 ( 155 / 165 Mhz increment ) which is very nice IMO .. benches coming soon.

Hey mate, its' already 4 months since you promised for benches

How does it fare against the new games and at what stock settings ? Would love to tally scores with yours

 

[topgear]

yep, and in these 3 months 3 mobos of my bench rig gone for a ride and had some other business but once I sort everything out I'll try hard to live up to my post.
