I purchased one a few days ago and installed it to start up my new system. I found it to have a r430 core which I was a little dissapointed at (after hearing stories of r480's). However I want to know what kind of OC will give me the best performance benefit. I can push the memory further or the core further.... (or a little of both), but does one specifically provide better performance? Right now I have the core set to 540mhz and the memory to 510mhz, suggestions? If I lower the core speed, the memory can be pushed up higher, and vice versa... I was surprised I could push the core so far (considering default clock is 400) with no artifacts.. and so far no instability issues.
Also, I purchased the VIVO one, are the 16 pipes unlocked by default, or how would I go about flashing the bios to unlock the 4 extra pipes?
Edit: nm, ATI Tool shows 16 active pipelines.
