if you're getting too hot it may be a case ventilation problem, I have the same card and get 865khs at 84degrees using

--scrypt -g1 -w 512 -I 19 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-fan auto --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95 --lookup-gap2 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20


and of course don't forget to start your .bat with:

del scrypt*.bin
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

found out, i have the refence fan installed, just played a game and its still runnig hot, like 85c :/

in idle its 60-62 :/

del scrypt*.bin
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
--scrypt -g1 -w 512 -I 19  --gpu-fan auto --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95 --lookup-gap2 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20

running this, but the auto fan, is really bad, havent seen it go above 38% and i had to quit the mining after it reached 92 degrees, but iam using 51% fan cooling and getting 810 out of it
this "--thread-concurrency 32765" did not help, it cut the kh/s in half and was running 400-450.

Try these settings... whenever my card pushed past 85c, the settings below would bring it down to 81-83c right away.  Be advised, this card runs very hot and needs good ventilation

--scrypt -g 1 -w 256 -I 20 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-fan auto --temp-target 80 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 940 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20

These settings get me a stable 835KH/s
