Title: Memory Speed & Underclocking Post by: Intention on July 16, 2011, 12:52:52 PM Currently I have 2x Sapphire Radeon HD6950's (2GB versions). I used to be able to underclock the memory to around 300Mhz for mining purposes but now since I had a card die due to unforeseen circumstances I replaced one with a Sapphire Radeon HD6950 DIRT3 edition. I have no idea if its the new card or if I had updated the drivers to 11.7 (.6b) that my computer now locks up every time I attempt to under-clock the memory to the 300-400Mhz range.
Any ideas why? Also on an unrelated note Sapphire has terrible, terrible RMA support. eVGA ftw.

I'll have to fiddle with it until I find a spot that's low and won't lock up, thanks! |
