I'd like to see what the rest of the people with this BIOS come up with for STABLE overclocks. I used this BIOS as far as I can recall and while I'm getting 885, it's not quite 894. I think you just got a great card because I don't see many people making it to the speeds me and you are running. Your card being one of the best non-volt modded I've seen and mine close behind.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that I don't think it's the BIOS that is making these OC's possible, but the sample of the cards instead.

BTW, did you ever figure out that pencil mod? I really don't understand how they explained it over on extreme systems so I figured it wasn't worth it for a bit more. The card's already fast and I don't want to muck it up with a volt mod gone bad.

Welcome, new members! Once I make the spreadsheet, we can see average overclocks by brand and such. It will be awesome.

Good stuff mct, thanks again for making the club. Glad you thought of it and can't believe no one else beat us to it.

Looking forward to seeing that chart too!

I've got a Sapphire HD3850 in my tower, but I'm on my laptop right now, in bed cause Im sick, xD. I'll get the GPU-Z in a bit. I've got a question though, anyone else have a problem with the 7.12 drivers? Whenever I use them, everything thats deep blue, goes red, i.e. the shadow for the word 'Welcome' when you log in is red using the 7.12s, but fine with the 7.11's. Is that something I should be concerned about/RMA for? It's at stock clocks, so it's nothing I did.
