On my Gigabyte 5850, Afterburner for voltage + Gpu Clock for clocks is working and the Afterburner readings show the changes.

I did not bench but another user has.

Original bios no flashing etc involved.

thx, worked as a charm for me.

It is in the /program files/msi afterburner/profiles/ folder, make sur you paste the whole thing inside the file with the long filename referring to the actual gfx card.

Does Afterburner + GPU clock require the MSI 5850 bios? And does anyone have an opinion on whether it's preferable to the Asus bios (I know the Asus 5850 bios isn't out, but perhaps some have experience with their 5870 bios)?

My XFX 5850 is arriving tomorrow.

Good news and bad news

Heres the Asus 5850 bios for those who might want it

My idle temps are way to high :( They are sitting around 56c and when I run furmark the fan isn't kicking up. Hopefully my frustration will be someone elses boon.

Quick story, when i turn on OCCT or Furmark the fan goes retarded and drops to about ~900rpm causing the card to overheat. The second I close either of those the fan ramps to full 4000rpm. Games run fine so far. Dreading RMA since Newegg is dry out of them and jacked the price up.

If it's reference design, yes.
