I've had my Powercolor 4870 1GB that I recently got.
The bios says its from 08/19/08
Overdrive tells me the max core is 780 and max ram is only 935. With so many people saying how easy it is to reach 1100 on their ram, this is odd to me. If I set the ram to 950 and hit the Test button, I get screen artifacts and a BSOD.
I opened the bios and checked the setings.. the bios votlage table looks like this:
0: 1.083v - Boot
1: 1.143v - Power saving for notebooks in battery mode, High performance, Optimal performance.
2: 1.203v - UVD
3: 1.263v - Power saving for notebooks in battery mode, High performance, Optimal performance.
I'm reading the bios with RBE v1.17
The Clock Info list in the bios looks like this:
Clock - GPU - RAM - Voltage
00 - 750 - 900 - 1.263
01 - 500 - 900 - 1.203
02 - 500 - 900 - 1.203
03 - 750 - 900 - 1.263
04 - 500 - 500 - 1.203
05 - 500 - 500 - 1.203
06 - 500 - 500 - 1.203
07 - 500 - 900 - 1.203
08 - 500 - 900 - 1.203
09 - 750 - 900 - 1.263
What should I change or modify, obviously along with fan settings, to get my ram to the same frequency as others.
Could the fact that its 1 GB and not 512 be the real problem?
Anyone with 1GB of ram and over 1000 mhz ram clock?
Is my card just a dud and I should return it?
