Well after some testing , i have few ideas to share .
HD3850 OC adventure .
With the system in idle , i was testing OC modes , on my VGA.
With CCC "Catalyst Control center" looked to be an easy task .
BUT !!
Unfortunately i found that the ultimate VGA clocks ,
are very Dependant on the temperature , of the VGA cooler .
The same successful high clocks , will fail the test ,
if the VGA are warm , after some time on gaming or benchmarks.
I got extremely surprised , by noticing how delicate is the balance of heat VS high clocks.
In my Sapphire card with the stock cooler,
the combination of high clocks as :
GPU 700 Memory 830 , was always a qualified combination,
no matter how hot the cooler was .
Does it worth to get better VGA cooler ?
In my case no , at list by thinking about performance gain.
I plan to replace it , but there no rush , as the stock cooler does the job and has tolerable noise level .
HD3850 OC adventure Part 2
I run the "Crysis benchmark" at 1280x1024 medium details, Physics=Low .
Even with VGA at high clocks , i did not see gain on the fps.
Some people call this effect as CPU bottleneck .
By having in mind , that the bottleneck becomes lower on lower resolution, its all about what any one has in his mind to use his system for .
Personally i do not care , about the top place in the benchmarks score board.
Conclusion no 2 : "Crysis benchmark" are unrealistic way to judge your systems performance with the game it self.
The free run of the camera , its not on the game play .
