Quite small improvements overall except some cases like Rage i.e. where users claim an evident performance loss even in cf
Try downloading them here:

I've never tried taking overclocking seriously with my 6850s until now. I took out one of them and got this on stock voltage, 100% stable using MSI Kombustor's benchmark with every setting possible enabled (except force PhysX -> CPU). Any good? I can bump up voltage but I don't want to. Catalyst 12.6.

I think that's a nice oc freq for your 6850's
If you're stable at default voltage, even better thumb.gif
Trying anything more than this, with the gpu overvolt will not bring you better performance IMHO
you won't fuel the combustion even more will you? smile.gif

frown.gif I may have to overvolt because although the Kombustor benchy is stable starting games instantly makes my comp freeze up, unfortunately. Well, no nice OC for me lol.

Why would a benchmark stay stable, but games wouldn't? I'm confuz.

Hey guys here's another update on my rig "Letha' Threat" I started a build log this morning. My storage drive died so I lost most of my pics. But I will be posting the ones I still have on the camera and my phone later on tonight to show as much of the process as possible. This is still an ongoing build. I would say it's about 50% where I want it to be. thumb.gif

Soo with the 12.8 I can overclock stable to....... wait for it.... wait for it............ 915MHz! lol

What program you guys recomend for testing memory overclock? Im looking for a slowdown rather then errors when overclocking the memory on this card correct?

I have the same issue. Was told is a lack of voltage.

I'd always try a short run (at least 15') of the OCCT's gpu tool v.0.70 to finally test my stability, leave everything at the default values, only enable the error check option
Try to keep your gpu temp as lowest as possible cool.gif
