This is my most stable clock, havent really tinkered with memory, might get a few more MHz which increases score, but 1343 got higher score than 1350 so I just used that
Havent tried more than 1.35 as thats what MSI Afterburner allows and I cant push Core past 1045 so I need more juice temps not high anyway wiht 100% fanspeed and extra fan at exaust and intake.
Do I need another bios to get more than 1.35 from MSI afterburner?
1045
1343
P Vantage = 23096 (Top 100 Hurray)
P Vantage GPU = 21807

1.35V is the hard limit for AfterBurner unless you know ways around it.
It was MSI's decision to limit AB to 1.35V, just to prevent a rain of rma'd cards.
And they did it for a good reason. Stock cooling don't have much headroom for overclocking in high ambient temps and a overvolted card can be easily overheated.
Unless you are living in arctic igloo voltages above 1.35V will fry your GPU. So, just to be on the safe side consider buying high performance water-cooling like Zeus did.Quote:

A little bit of CrossFireX action with the second HD5850 on air (one is on water already, the other is on air, just arrived) :p: :up: Yes, these are Furmark stable clocks on GPU and LinX stable clocks on CPU ;) No, this is not the highest that it will go. I will have higher scores once the second water block is installed on the new HD5850 in a few days.

Sadly I couldn't realize OCP/OVP and vGPU for 5850, any possible light on it my friends?
edit , lol, wrong thread ! this happens with google searches !
I have one of the cold bugged 5970's (it pukes doing anything 3d while around 30c) Any of you with experience with the 5970 think this is something a different bios might fix? If so which one? Thanks.
My card is a sapphire.

I own this version

Do I have the reference or non reference one ?
EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1 worked fine for me but theres one problem
Anyone seem to not able to unlock "Core Voltage (mV)" function ?
Switched to 1 in .cfg file still no luck
Afterburner 1.5.1

Does that mean I need to flash my 5870 or can am I not able to change my core voltage no matter what as I'm using a non-reference board..?
chiggah - I thought the Ultra Durable cards had no Voltera chip, so no voltage adjustment is available at all.
.
damnit, I was looking to push this higher :(Quote:

Quick run with a Diamond 5870 on the stock cooler at 1.4v GPU with the Catalyst 10.3s. :)
Woah very nice. ASUS bios? SD, Vmod - how did you go about > 1.35v GPU?Quote:

ygpm
Could anyone bench 5870 with latest drivers on Crysis?(not warhead):)
Settings:
1680x1050
Very high
DX10
No AA
With these settings I would get around 40-41fps in avg with 4870x2.
Cheers
I can install it and do it...Quote:

I would like to have 5870 at 1Ghz and 980x at stock? Many thanks:up:
A question to anyone regarding my consideration on buying 5870:
Does 5870 do fine at 1Ghz with autofan?
Cheers
1GHZ core isn't an issue with a 5870 and the stock fan.
Will run the tests tonight. :up:
I added my initial results. Pretty mild OC's so far.

Still tuning my rig. Just got it up a few days ago. Hope I can make 1k on the core with all of them. My primary card will do 1030 on 1.3v and I doubt all three will. My CPU is an old first rev 920 I've had a while. It's not D0.
I'll have much more detailed results later. Consider this an early report for the heck of doing so.

My Sapphire 5870 max OC on air at 1.32v.
1)I'm planning on Overclocking my future HD5870 Powercolor reference card (Haven't arrived yet) and my plan is to flash Asus bios and tweak the voltage and OC the card to 1100/1250. is it possible to do this on stock cooler?
2)But, is flashing Asus Bios is a real Hassle? Or is it just an easy task? Sorry haven't tried flashing GPU bios before.
3)I've heard of cards died by tweaking voltage and all, but is it possible to flash back the original Bios after the card died?
4)Or are there any possible situation that will fail me to flash the original Bios back?
Thanks in advance.
