I seem to be running into all sorts of issues trying to overclock this card. I believe its possible that it may be voltage locked, no confirmation. However, I am able to get some stable OC @ ~1020/1400 but when I run any bechmark I get much worst performance than I do w/o the OC.
To me this feels like throttling, so I first went into Afterburner and increased the power +20%. This seemed to help and my results were about the same as no overclock instead of drastically lower. Thing is, stable like this.. my OC results near identical as stock (which is already OC @ 900/1250). So.. up the voltage right? I can't. In Afterburner its locked/greyed out. In Trixx is there, but I dont think its working correctly. I feel a glass ceiling anytime I attempt to OC higher than the 1020/1400. The problem is, at that OC my benchmarks show 0 performance increases so I'm trying to push a bit further to see what kind of legs this card has.
Any advice? Anyone had this card or luck getting around the barriers? If 1020/1400 is good, then why no performance increases? Never seen that in all my years.
