I have had my 6950 running at 850/1325 and stock volts (1.1v) for some time now. Now that BF3 is out, I was somewhat tempted to try and run it at "ultra" settings.
However, when I increased my overclock from 850/1325 to 875/1350, I didn't really notice an increase in fps - maybe 1 or 2 frames max. If I keep the settings on high (+2x AA MSAA), I get about 30-34 fps. I'm thinking of just leaving it at 850/1325 because it has been stable at those speeds since day 1, but will consider 875/1375 if that is a noticeable improvement.
Any reason why increasing the overclock did not yield extra fps? What are you guys using as your overclock?
