I have had a Sapphire 7870 xt with boost for....... I dunno, two or three years. From the get go, reading reviews for clock settings and over @ overclock.net

Most people are hovering around the same clocks I am 1200/1500. Most reviews state that any mem clock past 1520 slows performance as opposed to helping. I have had no such experience. Mind you, Using Trixx, the best I seem to get is my current 1220/1560 without driver crash on upping the core, and black screen on upping the mem. Totally fine as that's better than before. Trixx custom fan, +20 power limit and Vddc left alone.
Now I did try 1200/1600 and I noticed a massive improvement in Inquisition (camera stutter gone) but it would hold for 5-10 mins and black screen on me.
So since it's review date 09/13 over at Hardware Havenhttp://www.hardwareheaven.com/conte...t-with-boost-tahiti-le-graphics-card-review/4
They were able to hold 1285/1760!!!???? It can't just be lottery? I don't even really care about the core tbh but better mem clocks(Hynix) would be nice. What did they do that I'm not? 850w psu so not that. Cool core clock at load of 69c and 80-83@1600 mem on vrm's which is no diff than 1560 or 1500 stock temps.
Any ideas? No money for new card (290x) yet but "soon". Just want to see if I can push this card a bit more before binning it.
