Blue-KnightMSi, you've just failed one more time. :shadedshu:

Devon68The yellow decoration on the card spell's OC. I wonder if that was intentional or just a design fluke..

wow that lightning hit the aircraft

pechei hope that does not announces a upcoming fail ....
the weird thing ... no vents on that backplate.... WTF MSI

rtwjunkieNo vents on the back of the reference 980 either. Backplates are rarely needed to cool. They have two main uses: 1)Looks, because everyone seems to like them and want them, and 2) to provide SOME extra rigidity, althouugh the merits of this are debatable to how effective it is, especially if backplate is thin plastic.

Original---------------------------This sample-----------------------Overclocked
Core Clock: 1002 MHz------------Core Clock: 1203 MHz-------------Core Clock 1268 MHz
Boost Clock: 1076 MHz-----------Boost Clock: 1304 MHz------------Boost Clock: 1480~1500 MHz
Memory Clock: 7012 MHz--------Memory Clock: 7096 MHz---------Memory Clock: 8694 MHz

terroralphai have doubts that the memory is stable at those speeds. when i try going over 7800 MHz on any of my cards, i start getting artifacts, graphics glitches like random shit flashing here and there. it'll run without crashing in excess of 8000MHz but it's not pretty.

rtwjunkieBut don't forget, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that they selectively bin and test for the highest quality chips for something like this.

EarthDogIs that ACTUAL boost clocks or what gpuz says?
