The card is a Sapphire dirt3 edition 6950, unlocked to 6970 thru the bios switch:
I seem to be stable at 940/1400 at 1.175v after a few runs through 3dmark vantage, 15-20 minutes of stability testing on furmark with max temp of 82c.
However, playing battlefield 3 for a few minutes - the game freezes then ctd's or i get a BSOD. Some other times I can play for hours without issues.
I tried lowering to 900/1400 and will not experience any crashes. I've heard of battlefield 3 having issues with locking up and crashing though.. How else can I truly tell my OC is stable?
also would like to add - what is the max safe voltage for the 6950? I am considering getting a universal EK block for it to add to my loop, but if I am already near the voltage limit I won't bother.
