What a pair of 5770's and a 920 can do ...

[Nicckko]

Hello people,

 

I just bought another 5770, it was the XFX HD 5770 XXX Edition. I Crossfire it with my existing Sapphire HD 5770 and this is what I got.

 

Here is a picture of how the system looks like:

 

 

My 920 was running at 3.8 GHz HT On, with a Vcore of 1.18 v.

 

These are the results:

 

 

Uhm ... ... with one card I was scoring about 19 k, seems to be the CPU is bottlenecking my Crossfire setup.

 

 

Now it's time to see what this baby can do. I overclocked the 920 to 4.4 GHz with a Vcore of 1.35 v and the 5770's to 1020 / 1445 MHz ... this is what I got:

 

 

I'm pretty impressed with the results.

that's a pretty nice OC for that voltage

that's a pretty nice OC for that voltage

 

Thanks ... but its not fully stable, just used it like that to run the benchmark ...

 

 

I will run some 3dMark Vantage later on, see what I manage to score.

Crossfire loooovveesss CPU clockspeed. The more the better.

 

Nice results

Very nice dude! I wanted to see a real world comparison vs the Review comparison on those in Crossfire. Also, Like how you used the stock Intel HS fan. :thumbs-up:

I dont get much of the overclocking Idea. Is just about scores?

 

Because.. I ask myself. With a 920 stock and a 5770 can't you play any todays games at any resolution and high settings at good fps? lets say 30+ (30 is pretty fine for me).. you see movies at 30fps so is smooth enough.

 

Anyway your pc is amazing =)

wow, @ stock settings with crossfire, those 5770's still don't beat an oc'd 5870. i would've thought the opposite

 

I'm curious to see your OC results... but the end result is more heat and power consumption than a 5870

:thumbs-up:

 

New runs at higher Core Clock ...

Outperforming a 5870, I really wasn't expecting that ...

Lol !! I ripped it a part but it cools NB pretty well.

You are right, overclocking is pretty much of scores, see how high you can go.

 

24 / 7 I am currently running the Cpu at 3.8 GHz 1.18 Vcore and the 5770's at 875 / 1300 MHz.

 

I really don't play much, but in most games I usually get 60 - 80 fps playing on 1680 x 1050 monitor.

 

Thanks :thumbs-up:

[WarWeeny]

how did you got those overclock results on your 5770?

i can only get to 940 / 1350 at max >.> also how do i activate voltagetweak on my card?

 

njice scores btw

Just one MSI 5970. I sure it can do more easily.
