Just a quick question.
If you edit the clocks for the 3D mode in BIOS using RBE, and these clocks are going to be ABOVE the CC lmits, then flash this BIOS, will it work fine?

Hey guys, how can i overclock both cores of the 5970?
I'm using MSI Afterburner or ATI GPU Tool. both only clock the first core.
Thanks :)
Afterburner does clock both cores. Use GPU-Z to verify each gpu is overclocked.Quote:

BTW... The 9.12 Hotfix, i have an issue... seems like my clock and temps in 2D mode of one of the vcard, the second one, just not work, it shows 0 in all (temp, gpu and mem clocks) only start detecting when change to 3D mode, then go back to 0 when return to 2D. weird :/ Same :banana::banana::banana::banana: happened to me with 9.11 Beta 5...
@kPablo great Vantage score :)
How safe do you say it will be to overvolt the 5970?
My environment is very cold mostly -1 to -10.
When I did 1000/1220 @ 1.25V at heavy load, temps of the GPU never got above 60c.

Someone who can modify Asus Smart doctor to recognize HD5850 flashed with Asus HD5870 bios?!
When I flash my Sapphire 5850 with Asus 5850 bios everything is ok, but with Asus HD5870 bios Smart doctor gives me an error "Can't find video cards information" :mad:
I need more vcore above the MSI Afterburner 1.35v limit.
Now with Asus 5850 bios and 1.4v I can get 1123MHz GPU, but RAM works better with 5870 bios:

What is the Xcode thing that Saphhire have in their DL page? The name is:
"Catalyst 9.12 Windows 7 Xcode (64-bit) for Windows 7 64-bit Edition" 29.16MB - Release date: December 21
Also they have a set of 9.12 dated December 21.
are the drivers improving Crossfire performance much? I know the first reports of 5870 Crossfire setups was disappointing.
WITH 9.12 my xfire 5870s have improvedQuote:

Hi, folks ive just installed my sapphire 5850 im not at all familar with ati because ive always been with Nvidia anyone help me how do i turn my fans up on ati overdrive cuz its greyed out ? i think overclocking is not possible for me is it ? lol cheers in advance.
You need to unlock the little padlock icon.Quote:

I think i need better cooling for my card before i try to go higher. Also my gpu score are about 10258 in vantage which it seem to me to be low to what i have seen from others.
@Dan7777 if you use msi afterburner you can go in the config file and change the value of enableunofficialoverclocking from 0 to 1 and it will let you go for more than the 960 core 1445 1175v limit of your bios and it with work with every card.
Anyone tried the driver in Sapphire webpage?
They have one released @ December 21... also an Xcode something with 30Mb... also from dec,21.
You have to make bootable usb in this way and format the USB in FAT32, not in FAT. Also you have to select USB like first bootable device.Quote:

Cheers!
Ordered this card yesterday. Anyone disapointed with similar card ?
Brand ASUS
Model EAH5870/2DIS/1GD5/A
There hasn't really been any major problems with the 5000 Series that has been discovered yet, but with more time something may become apparent. The only thing even remotely wrong is the VRM bottleneck on the 5970, but that is only when OCing.
Thx Led.
I think that Asus card come with an unlocked Bios already and they waranty the OC with the Volt range they give.
according to your sig this is your 2nd 5870? That is going to be a GPU beast.Quote:

yea I agree it will either be late Q1 or early Q2, but I am in no rush to upgrade. There isn't one game out that the 295 can't run full maxed out at my native resolution (1920x1200).Quote:

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.Quote:

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:Quote:
Originally Posted by nickless

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?
Did you mean 5850 or 5870 bios?Quote:

i am sure you can get your card running @ 1ghz, you mught just need more vcore but most 5850 and 5870 can do it. Maybe also a suicide(depending on what voltage it need for 4.5ghz) run at 4.5ghz for your 920 could help also.

Mine Sapphire HD5850 works very well up to 1000-1200 @ 1,2v with Asus 5850 Bios watercooled and catalyst 9.11, 9.12 and 9.12 hotfix.
When i try 1050-1200 even with 1,4v or 1,45v it completes all Vantage tests: GPU, CPU and Features, but in the end when it should show the score the PC hangs in a black screen and only reset solve it, this happens every time.
Strange thing is that it completes all tests without a problem, the problem is to show the score with a hanging black screen.
Can anyone help me?
Could you please link me to the stabliest and more overclocker bios?
Some say MSI bios is better, but in my case i think it's worse.
My goal is to reach at least 1050-1200 vantage tests completing score, once it runs all.

You can read this post and if you make everything right there will be any problems.
Regards.
Wanted to clarify something real quick, I have flashed bios's before...just want to be sure I have it right.
I'm running crossfire 5870 cards, SO:
Uninstall video card driver & CCC before all of this?
Ok, Use GPUZ to make a backup copy of your current BIOS & SAVE IT.
FLASHING:
Plug in a USB drive to use, install & run HP USB disk Storage Format tool.
Select the USB drive, in the "file system" drop down box, pick FAT32.
Click "Quick Format". Click "Create a DOS startup Disk, using DOS system files
located at and click the "...." and direct it to the BOOTFILES folder (Boot Files
HP).
Click START.
Once done, copy the ATI Flash & ASUS BIOS onto the USB Flash Drive.
Restart the PC & Boot from the Flash Drive.
Once Booted,
Since I'm running crossfire, type in:
atiflash -i
This will tell ID# for each card.
one being 0 and the other being 1 (depends on slot number or just amount of cards installed?)
THEN, type:
atiflash -p -f 0 bios.rom
Reboot at this point with only the 1st card flashed? and then flash the next card?? or flash both at same time??
ALSO, I noticed in a NON-CROSSFIRE post (First link to flashing) that instead of -p -f it is -f -p ..... does this make a difference?
IS the -p -f order important? Is the -p -f the correct order for crossfire?
(Sorry for all the questions....don't want to fubar it)
You got everything right! :up:
And the order of parameters does not matter afaik.
Also some people flash their cards in CF one by one removing them from the system, but it is not necessary.
SWEEET. now if I can just do it right....LOL.
So flash one card, reboot back into the USB stick, flash the other, reboot into windows & re-install everything?
Pretty much. :yepp:
I think this is the most i can get out of this card...I really wanted a 20000 GPU score!! :shrug:
