rourkchris Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 they may claim it'll out perform the 5870but what about the 5870x2 Nvidia plans an x2 version of their next cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rourkchris Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 core/memory 1500/1500 in CCC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E.A Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 core/memory 1500/1500 in CCC? i did not notice that , the temp is 127c :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 i did not notice that , the temp is 127c :lol: He explains that in the comments. It's an error when it's sub-zero temps. Fan speed isn't correct either-no fan on the card. I'd really like to know how he got CCC to allow such high overclocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Found this and set the core to 950 so far http://downloads.guru3d.com/AMD-GPU-Clock-...nload-2383.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownuser200 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 awesome dude! best of luck getting over that magical 1ghz barrier! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Looks like it locks CCC overdrive out when it's running. I'll have to set the fan speed to 100% in CCC first, close it out then use AMD's overclock tool to set the core and memory to where I want it. Still it does work. I'll try some 3DMark Vantage runs tonight to see what I can score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
molotovdaskwerl Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Nvidia plans an x2 version of their next cards. well they don't know about the 5870x3 -_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rourkchris Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Not sure there could be a 5870x3 . I set the core/memory to 1000/1250(didn't try any higher) in AMD GPU Clock Tool. Had to set the fan speed in MSI Afterburner and also bumped the voltage a touch. Overclocking my processor to 4.2Ghz and found my 3DMark Vantage score significantly worse. I scored a little over 21000 where I had scored 24000 previously with 900/1300. I'm a little stumped. I may try setting it to 1000/1300 later and try again. 3DMark 2001SE was also significantly lower. I'm not real concerned over the 2001SE scores but would rather focus on the 2006 and Vantage scores. Setting the fan speed in CCC does no good. As soon as I exit out it goes to default. MSI afterburner was the fix for the fan speed setting. I think flashing the cards BIOS is how they are getting CCC to allow higher overclocks. I've never flashed a video card BIOS before and have no idea what that entails or the risks involved. The whole idea of flashing a video card's BIOS scares me a bit. I'd hate to brick $800 worth of video cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
