Simple thread, posted here in camp red for one reason - why can't Fiji over volt the core? I'm upgrading soon and frankly, I'm disappointed Fiji looks stuck at close to 1GHz. I genuinely would have bought it if it were more flexible.
I'm putting this here so those that trawl the web for AMD info can maybe shed some light, hell maybe some AMD engineers can come along incognito and share some knowledge. Looking at how good fiji is at 1050Mhz (compared to 980ti's at 1200Mhz), you'd think Fury X would be romping home if only it would overclock properly.
So what is the issue. Is it AMD locking it down for power and heat reasons? Is it an oversight from the volt mod software tools (Afterburner etc) that they haven't figured it out yet? Is it already at it's maximum for the silicon/architecture?
How many genuine techy's with the cash to spend have gone to 980ti's because of this? How many would have stayed or swapped to team Red if it did overclock well. Remember - we're talking core here.
Thoughts and technical musings appreciated. This is for tech discussion on Fury (Fiji) only - there is NO need to mention Nvidia in any way shape or form - the topic is about Fiji and Fiji only.
