    I just ran some tests with Furmark and the tests really confused me to say the least.

    I ran the tests at different resolutions and had the same results but only posting 1080p tests.

    870M Core throttles at anything below 8X MSAA. If it's at 8X MSAA it NEVER throttles and actually stays at 966MHz the WHOLE time regardless of the temps. I actually Esc'd the test switched to 8X really quick and launched it and watched the core go up fast again. If it's possible to stay at full core speed, WHY is it throttling? I don't understand.
