    Are you using the v3 vBios posted by Ziddy?
    If you are you have to know the voltages are lowered from 1.15v to 1.05v (and from 0.95v to 0.9v on battery). That means less overclocking headroom and increased possibility for those overclocks to be unstable as i pointed out before.
    Since youve got a pretty good overclock going (100mhz on both the core and memory), that just might be the problem - the gpu not getting enough juice and hence the gsods. Try stock clocks or 705/1100 and see if that works for you.

    705/1100 is just as stable if you don't want the 800.

    How come is more stable on 800/1100 clocks? Stock clocks should not have problems with new Vbios

    Im wondering if it's just mine, but 705/1100 makes mine stutter, however, it never gsods anymore... (10.10e) uninstalled powerplay.

    im currious too, whether this setting produces stuttering. At any rate, why overclock the GPU if it's already powerful enough and then some?

    are you using the 10.11?? 'cause since I made the update GSOD are become usual in my unit in both w/OC and wo/OC, even in windows with several drivers restarts.

    BTW, what 10.11 flavor are using you people? the ocl version (92.3 mb) or non-ocl version (73 mb)?

    Did you just say that the GSOD is back with your unit on the new vBIOS and when you use the 10.11? Uh oh...
