nice benches.. I would have loved to see some overclocking done though =.=

well, actually I did some overclocking :)

This is comparison of 5750 / 5770 / 5850 in 3DMark06 running at the same casual 965 C3 frequency, 4115MHz

5850 have bios lock for gpu and memory frequency at 775/1125 and AMD GPU Tool can't override it, I changed bios with modded one from Guru3D and I myself unlocked original bios but in both cases when windows boots card is not recognized in windows, 640*480 and I can't install ati driver so I give up...

I flashed my 5850 with an msi bios, and it worked well

This "unlocked" 5850 can become really interesting.

How close would the max OC of an "unlocked" 5850 be to the max OC of a 5870 for 24/7 use? Do you have any benches/numbers to give some ideas about this relation?

I ran it at 950mhz/1100 I was gonna go higher , then I notice the fan doesnt spin up during gaming. it spins after gaming is done. So I RMA it.

I did a few benches while I had it http://superclock.mysmf.com/index.php/topic,79.0.html that was on the first day. Sorry I didnt run benches at 950 on core, I was too busy gaming.
