Sometimes,also, with a lower overclock setting and lower hashrate you will get a higher Utility.

Care to explain how that works?

No,I can't explain how that works, but, ckolivas posted a suggestion a while back.

He said that once you find your max GPU Engine clock that your card runs stable at try to drop your GPU clock 5Mhz at a time to see if there's a sweet spot where your Utility increases.  I tried that and I did find a spot where my Utility went up a little at a lower GPU Clock.

Maybe ckolivas could elaborate on that?
YMMV,
Sam

And you verified this over a 24-48 hour period to negate any U variances, right?

After I found the clock that produced a higher Utility I ran it there for a while.  So yes.  Right now I'm back to running stock clocks since I'm running the AC.
