very nice henry.
all of you kpablo, rouvio, eva.

i've been so busy lately with work i havent had time to really push this 5850 ive had. ive only used CCC OD for the pathetic 775/1125 max it allows. I think the last card I flashed was whan I had a 3870x2 and I don't remember how I went about it. Ive seen thread after thread about msi afterburner but I was waiting for a better solution.
today I came a across this thread about Ati releasing a bios for 5870 but maybe someone in here has successfully flashed their 5850 in this thread and I haven't seen it yet. Can anyone prove it works on a 5850?

If you mean this new ATI 5870 bios, yes, it works with HD5850. I've tried this bios, but if you want vcore above 1.35v (what is MSI Afterburner limit) you have to flash the card with Asus 5850 bios and use Smart doctor for up to 1.5vcore.

I flashed a 5850 with it, does 900/1300 perfectly stable at 1.174v

I'm using 5850 and 2 monitors and I have flickering problem:mad: I have tryed and flashed with 5870 bios (the newest one) but it did't helped:mad:. Is there any solution?

Hi I have a Sapphire 5850 I want it to flash which is flash BIOS of Asus and Msi? Some say if flashnal successfully thanks.

newes ATi 5870 bios is the best for daily use air cooled.

I didn't like Asus bios, worse OC then MSi even using 1.40v and more unstable.

I've got 1 ati saphire 5850 stock settings and an OCed AMD 965 be c3 @3838mhz. I busted through 20k on 3Dmark06.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2802/...5e5743f5_b.jpg

anyone find the 24/7 OC for the 5850 on air yet? If so please share your settings and programs you used.

I'm thinking of getting another 5850 and run them in crossfire later in the new year.

Since running that test above I finally got a hold on my 965 oc. I've got the NB voltage down to 1.3 @2800mhz and the cpu voltage is at 1.4 stable. I also managed to get my ram running correctly. So I should test it again! =P

I have an odd problem that pops up once in a while.
I have a HIS 5850 that would not overclock with Afterburner until I flashed with a MSI BIOS. It now overclocks to 1000MHz/1200MHz @ 1.237v.
But from time to time I hear the fan spin up and inside the Afterburner Monitor the GPU voltage is pegged at something crazy like 1.6v which is really odd because the voltage slider stops at 1.35v
The only way to fix is a reboot or reset to defaults and reapply overclock.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Can someone show, where is the HD5870/5850 vgpu measuring point?
Thank's!

30k broken and almost 31000 gpu points, not bad for only 2 cards :up:

So you can flash a 5870 BIOS to a 5850? Interesting... What's the point of that though? Just ordered a 5850 today and have no idea how to overclock it. CCC limits, MSI voltage tool, unlocked BIOSes, BIOSes for different video card models... WTF! What happened to Riva tuner + soldering iron? :down:

Everyone can flash a 5870 BIOS to a 5850 :) The point is that 5870 bios has a little bit higher GPU and RAM voltage, also RAM timings of 5870 allow higher frequency compare to 5850. So if you flash your 5850 with 5870 MSI unlocked or Asus bios you will have higher stable stock settings 850/1200 and higher CCC limits.
Riva tuner not support 5800 yet, but you can use MSI Afterburner, it's based on Riva tuner.

So, what options do i have to my Sapphire 5850 considering 1,5vcore from SmartDoctor, 5870 Bios with 5870 default clocks and memory timmings?

Asus HD 5870 1024 MB BIOS only?

http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/5...24.090915.html


or ATI HD 5870 1024 MB BIOS

http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/6...24.091112.html

should work with SmartDoctor and it's better?

Have, those two, same memory timmings?

Not just you, I have same behavior with a 5850 Sapphire, when adding Volts with Afterburner the 5870 MSI BIOS is more stable than the Asus.

A minha é uma Powercolor...there was no way to go higher then 1010Mhz, even using a very good CoolerMod on it @ 50C Full-Load 1.35V, 75C for VRM
