my gpu already clocks high because its under water, but i want to know if i can unlock the core from 2560 to 2800? 

does that memory type seem for the unlock ? if someone could let me know if its good to unlock or not?

you're using outdated diagnostic tool, the hawaii info is like from the 2013 or something, nobody remembers how to use that.

 

follow this guide, there's also a link to updated diagnostic tools:

If it's one of the the old ones then maybe but the newer ones are reported  to not be able to be unlocked anymore.

Welp, looks like you can't unlock them....

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Bruh......

A 390 IS a 290, it just as higher clocked ram and more of it. They also generally clock a little higher. But you can't get that from a bios.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

What would you call high for a 290 (and average?)

God dammit to use that tool I have to take the 750Ti out..

That and add an extra 2.5GB to the PCB, just solder a 512mb and 2gb mem stick to it.
