Even with overdrive on it never goes beyond 775 on the core. I have no idea how to resolve this issue. I also have msi afterburner and set the speed to default for this card but still no go.

Any help getting this card to run like it should would be appreciated. Thanks

Starting to feel at this point I should have stuck with sapphire.

Actually the card has reached 900/1050 while running my game. However it is not remaining consistent. The core speed keeps bouncing around from 300, 775 then 900. The corespeed will remain at 900 for a short period of time then drop to 300 again. In game I am using fraps and I see this is making my fps completely inconsistent. Is there a way to lock the core down to have consistent fps?
