Unfair how? I see many people bench at 1375~1400MHz core?

 

Unfair because its not retail card yet)

Most of retail cards are 1370 core and below 1300mhz memory

You know that max core clock depends directly on max memory speed

For example when we tested first XFX retail cards all of them could pass 1360-1280 on LN...

And when I try to increase Core clock we can't pass 1360mhz on GPU core and then we go next way 1370-1260/1380-1250/1390-1240

I saw some Asus cards that can't do 1100-1380 on air and can't pass 1350-1300 on LN

 

I think Lightings can change this situation because they have classified chips and powerful PWM

Cant't wait to receive this card)

very nice Smoke. Huge congrats:D

 

Love seeing the reference cards pwning the big boys in vantage

 

Thanks a lot.

I think it's dishonest to use MSI 5870 lighting before offisial release or they are on sale!!!

next run will be on Gulftown

Clear run and good karma)
