I have a random XFX 3rd party PCB and BIOS here... scores are terrible and GPU-Z tells me that the GPU core and memory controller are both loading at 50%, which kinda makes sense, given the scores i'm getting.

 

It's just this card, so I think BIOS. Platform, OS and drivers make no difference.

 

Has anyone got experience of this and/or ideas on how to solve it? Nibitor doesn't have a "disable bollocks" option :(

 

Oh... card also has "Turbocache", which i'm not used to and I can't see any obvious options for messing with that.

Well, XFX have no record of the card ("somewhere between end-of-life," files deleted and "WTF even was this?")

 

So... time for the enthusiast community :P

Hmmmmm

 

How is load assigned? 50% is very "neat"

 

Could the PCB or some components be damaged? Reballing needed on the die?

I would check memory first - I have fx5200 with damaged circuit of one memory chip - and it is still operational except being 32mb/32bit instead of 64/64. Probably RivaTuner diagnostic report should be a start point for checking if all specs meet factory settings.
