Pretty nuts if true, able to hit such high clock frequencies, while being stable and only consuming a smidge more than the designed power envelope.
It seems unlikely that AMD would leave so much performance on the table, that would be an odd situation nowadays if 2.5GHz or even 2.4GHz was reliably hit.
Or they've learnt from their past mistakes of showing the product in announcements at its absolute best (Polaris etc) and having to sandbag.Quote:

Got to create a distinct margin between this and the XT model somehow!Quote:

the more noise they can make the more market share they will grab .. and what a better way than leave a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish tonne of o/c room ..
Not gonna touch Nvidia, before I know for sure what Radeon can give me, that is for sure....
I'm looking to buy the 6800XT, not optimistic about the supply though. Hoping to get it in time for Christmas though.Quote:

The crazy thing is Polaris really wasn't too bad at OCing with the right cooling. My launch day 480 Nitro+ is currently clocking up above 580 levels and all through one click in AMD's driver. It really was a luck of the draw on how good/bad your chip was and poor cooling solutions that caused issues at launch. With the 580's they had just dialled in the chip production and put better coolers on.Quote:
