Hi Folks,
I recently bought a PowerColor MYST 7870 with the Tahiti LE chip:
http://www.microcenter.com/product/...8MB_GDDR5_PCIe_30_x16_MYST_Edition_Video_Card
I've been getting some strange results using GPU-z with this card while overclocking...
The "Sensors" tab show's the right clocks (OC'd value) until temps hit ~47c. After that the clocks drop back down to stock (according to sensors).
Is the card throttling or is GPU-z just a little confused?
Benchmarks seem to suggest that the cards clocks are staying where I set them with Trixx, but GPU-z says different...
I'm still in the early stages of testing, but if the card is actually throttling is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks,
Dave
