I know this is OCN, but you're really focusing on non-stock clocks aren't you? I used to run my gpu at oc'd clocks as well when playing gw2, but tbh, it's not a huge difference at all. The only time I had better fps (around 2-4 more) was in WvW when there's a battle with about 100 people involved. It didn't really matter for story mode etc tongue.gif If it's out of pure interest/fun, sure thing to oc then thumb.gif

OCing for better performance? wth? tongue.gif haha, i hear you. I do it for both performance gain(even if it's 0.001%) and for fun/experience.

I have received it, it's awesome. I wont paint it but since i have a 7970 pcb i will try to flash a 7970 bios. Does one of you know any good tuto on how to do this?

Also, can someone explain me the details of the dual bios on my card? is it the same bios twice and one is unwritable or there is one bios better for oc and the second is just standard bios?

Thx everyone!

so I flashed my gpu with 7970 bios. the msi bios were giving me endless reboot(right before entering desktop) so i tried the gigabyte 7970 ge (1100/1500) and it worked perfectly vrm gets at 100degree and gpu stays under 70 so i think i'm good.

I did a 3dmark 11 test ... frown.gif my score seem very low
P7060

anyway, i'll probably try to oc it a bit more biggrin.gif

EDIT:
oced to 1200/1500, got P7312 biggrin.gif same temps after a couple of minutes under kombustor. Didn't play though so maybe it's not stable.

is 1.256v too much for my gpu?
