Thanks W1z! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

You realize that you are tempting me to take an early leave today at work......... ;)

Thx for the update, W1zzard. :up:

Great!! :up:

I am anxious to see if the tool works for anyone and how far they can push their cards. :D

Flased And Ready For Drivers :d Oh Yes

I am wondering if we can change the 3D Voltages in the BIOS if someone figures out where they are addressed.

So.... who's not at work right now and has a 3870? >_<

I'll have it clocked in about 3 mins and i shall report :)

With proof of oc please. ;)

just putting it through auto tune at the moment and it set it to 872, but i will try another prog soon

i think ati chose the same way with nvidia

i think it wont work

but i am waiting the results too :D

Thanks W1zzard, i can't wait to see some results now :slobber:

Ok, catalyst auto tune just set it to:

It shows 872 / 1376 in catalyst which is pretty much max u can do on it, i reckon another program could get it quite a bit higher tho

Try Rivatuner. The newest version works with the HD3870.

Okey doke, shall i use 3dmark06 proxycon to test the clock stability?

Sure do hope 900 is possible :D:D

Test with Proxycon for GPU and Deep Freeze for memory OCs.

ok right well i can get it up to 890 stable but for somereason the hardware monitor on rivatuner wont show about 877? any ideas?

And GPU-Z as well actually :S

Can confirm the BIOS seems to work. Just clocked to 872mhz to check. Flashed with WinTool, no problems :)

Thanks to W1zzard and whoever else sorted this out.

since its real value is 877 not 890

gpu clock not increase mhz by mhz

it increase bloks by bloks

OK, current situation is that it can be clocked to 885MHZ in ati overdrive, however it will only show up to 877MHZ in GPU-Z so i dont know whether this is the actual figure or if there's some hardware>software confusion. I'm trying to resolve at the moment

Are you guys using the Stock ATI Dualslot cooler? What kind of temps are you getting on load?

I will flash my card first thing I get home. I am running 41C under load, so I don't think temperature is an issue for me yet. Perhaps someone will figure out how to modify the voltage in the bios like the 2900Pro/XT, which will give us even more headroom

If you turn the fan to 90%/100% on stock its around 50C at 877MHZ

862 to 877

only increased 15 mhz ?

This is the top i can get anything to show as a core clock reading:
