    Hi guys,

    So recently with the newer drivers, TRIXX produces flickering when I am overclocking, so I read up about it and others are also having the issue and they recommend using MSI Afterburner's /xcl option. So I added it and everything is smooth except that the limit is still too low. On TRIXX it could make the core go up to over 1000 but with AB it still only goes up to 910 instead of 860... Does anyone know if this is normal behaviour?

    I should point out that if I use unofficial mode, the flickering comes back...

    Thanks

    You have a 5870M. Why are you running it 1000? I don't think that is even possible. I ran mine at 815, and after than has issues. You're saying you can run yours at 910?

    Yeah I ran mine at 915.

    The MSI version of the cards can get high core clocks but I don't think the mem clocks can go as high as Asus ones (mine tops out at around 1085, basically what's in my sig).
