With one card i get a score of 19xxx in Vantage, but after i install the second card i only get 18K in vantage and 82K in 3DMark03...wth....
Im trying to resolve the problem for the past two days with no luck, i also tried drivers from CD, Ati site and 9.10 beta...?
Both cards run fine when not in CF.
Anybody else got any clue to what to try more?

if start something put load on the VGA's, the system reboot and get this error:
HyperTransport Sync Flood Error

Phenom II X4 965 BE @ 3400
ASUS M4A79T dlx -

Hopefully the official release's soon.
They are not usless. Crossfire with 2x Asus 5870 works flawless for me. ;)Quote:

Overclocking with crossfire is no good for me then Can not get 1000mhz on core with crossfire on air. 1 card i get 1030mhz easy.
f*&% me sideways these 5800 series cards are powerful this is a single 5850 running at default voltys which on the 5850 is only 1.087 volts, wheras on 5870 its generally 1.16,running 820 core 1200 mem at 4600mhz ish on i7,

5870 is 850 mhz core, 1.125v, 1200 mhz ram. At least thats what mine was.Quote:

ah, I actually had to bump mine to 1.16v to get stability @ 1Ghz ;)Quote:

So this was done just for benching purpose. Temps were under 70 with fan speed of 63%.
Idle : I didnt check, will be trying to go more today or tomorrow, will report back.
Are you guys using a modded BIOS or the ASUS Bios for the other card to get past the 900 mhz core clock and the 1300mhz memor clock limtis. I have tried to use MSI afterburner and it will not let me overclock past 900 and 1300, I have also tried the AMD GPU clock tool and it has been sucking for me, anything over 900 crashes even with a good voltage increase. I see some using ATI's overdrive and having much higher clock limits something like 1300 core and 1500 memory, can anyone enlighten me on how to do such.
I had to flash to ASUS bios.Quote:

Flashed asus bios and card has been flying ever since. It didnt even need voltage bump till 940Mhz, but I had same experience as you before I flashed. AMD GPU clock utility will crash when i set the card at anything over 900/1300.
where can i get this asus bios

msi afterburner isnt working for me, I set the clocks and they automatically got back to what they are in CCC. Any clue what im doing wrong?
You have to flash to the Asus bios first to remove the overclock caps.Quote:
