thanks for the info and advice, much appreciated
![]() so you need 1.1 volts for 882, that's not too bad i'd imagine. i've heard that asus don't bin their cards, but to be honest i don't think i will push my card too far for 24/7 use, not anytime soon anyway, might just clock it at 850 for a while and go from there i guess. surely 850 should be relatively hassle free right? i sure hope so ![]() |

dont just take my settings and apply them wont work. some cards can OC farther on stock settings. Ex Card A can get to 850Mhz with stock Vcore yet card B can only get upto 830Mhz with stock Vcore. not every card is gonna OC well but the chances are good as its ment for OC'ing just keep bumping up your Core clocks untill your as far as you can go without messing with volts and then just keep that OC and you should be good.
Good luck With the OC'ing though. make sure you get MSI After Burner to helo with your OC |
