Hey,
I wondered what are the best results people have got out of this card and best overclock settings?
Also in Macs Fan Control are people using the same settings for both fans?
Thanks!

For me it's +6.5% for GPU and the max the slider can reach with GPU memory, using AMD wattman (you can enable it by installing MSI afterburner, enabling "extend overclocking settings" from the options and then uninstalling it; wattman will show up in AMD settings). From my testing I saw the GPU doesn't get more than 2-3°C hotter than stock and it handles that fine with stock cooling, I haven't experienced any thermal throttling or had a need to install the fan program. Your mileage may wary. This thing just runs super cool.
Remember that to go back to stock cooling you need to uninstall the fan program, boot to macOS and then back to windows to reconfigure the SMC.

Oh great, thanks for the reply. I've just been using Afterburner but will uninstall it and try Wattman. I'm also very keen to get rid of fancontrol and try the stock cooling!

I've tried using Wattman to overclock, but I've noticed that the core clocks don't ramp up... Like, maybe they're staying on the lower "steps" of the OC graph shown in Wattman, know what I mean? Conversely, I've been able to overclock to 950/1500 core/memory clocks with Afterburner and noticed an immediate improvement in FPS, and the speeds actually stay up
