Title: Is the R9 280x Sapphire Vapor-X Voltage Locked?
Post by: blazin8s on December 03, 2013, 11:37:16 PM
Also is the Dual-X unlocked like previous models?

Also what kind of temp difference is there with Vapor-X?

Hi,

it's not. Don't use cgmiers gpu-vddc. Use Sapphire Trixx SW but you have to setup voltage on every PC restart.. To avoid setup after each restart, lower the voltage, save bios thru GPU-Z and flash it to your GPU (at your own risk).

For 1080MHz use 1089mV, for 1120MHz at lest 1130mV. You'll also save a lot of energy (up to 60W/card) of which you can donate me some ;)

The vapor-x is more sensitive to temperatures in some cases, but if set properly it can give you 780kH/s.

None of the cards I met was locked. You just must use the right software to midify it. Unlocked voltage:

280x Dual-x
280x Vapor-x
280x Gigabyte
280x Toxic

I think none of the other cards has the voltage locked.
