Hey there!
just got my 6850 andi t already runs at the CCC limits furmark stable (850/1200mhz) but i can't find a tool with support for voltage regulation....
i know that the newest sapphire trixx tool supports this card but i can't find a download site...
this is tweaktown showing off the trixx tool:
http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/36...ked/index.html
Trixx is NOT publically available even though Sapphire advertises it on their packaging. However, thanks to Riska for posting the beta build. ;)
I should also note that the version of Trixx you have linked isn't the updated version with HD 6800 series support.Quote:

Even if I can't adjust the V's, adjusting the clocks higher than what CCC offers may be an advantage. ;)
Guess I'll have to try for myself, but I thought SKYMTL might have some insight.
In this moment , only ASUS HD6870 can overvolt
But you must use the ASUS Smart Doctor to overvolt
Afterburner works for additional overclocking using the "Force Unsupported GPU" modifier in the config file but not for voltage tuning.Quote:

Can anyone share their Asus HD 6850 BIOS dump using ATIWinflash20112 (the latest I can find) ?Quote:

Seems Asus SmartDoctor strictly needs the Asus BIOS for it to work, thanks in advance.
Just wait till MSI afterburner updates in about a week, it's not worth the risk of bricking your card.
Also waiting for some oc-utility for the 6850...
Bricked cards due to wrong firmware flash can easily be fixed by a backup pci card.Quote:

Sometimes you have to love MS-DOS lol.
flashing 6850 with 6870 is no problem :)
Really, which program do you use for that?Quote:

Just flash it in DOS using latest atiflash
See attachment, look at shaders and stock speeds (915/1050)
Maybe somebody can test this.

Voltage adjust should work.
downloaded and testingQuote:

@ ^ = hmm nice, cat 10.10c and what AB version ? 2.1 beta 2 ?
little test with 1, oc with cfx I get bsod's

Thanks for the link, unfortunately voltage control is still greyed on my Sapphire 6870...Quote:

Monitoring seems to be working fine!
For some wierd reason my wireless is trashed again, but it gives me fits all the time so I'm not gonna blame it on AfterBurner.... :p:
A wireless connection on an OC rig seems to be asking for problems, I just hate
having this cord running down the steps and across the floor... :cool:
Same here Daveburt714, running a Sapphire 6870 but can't get any higher than CCC limits. Can't wait to see what this thing will do once we get some working programs to unlock voltage!
Just curious OCX, how well does your Memory do?
Of course all the V's are at stock, but I've been pushing Mem a little,
running Heaven bench and watching for tearing....
I've got the core set @ 945 (for now) and the mem @ 1150.
Temps stay well under control (<60c @ 40% fan speed), but anything over that starts causing corruption... :(
Maybe I need to adjust the fan profile. :p:
I'm planning to get a 6850, deciding between sapphire and msi, which company has the better overvolt software?
are non refference oc design made with voltage limit usually ????
Honestly somiao,
If I had it to do over again, I'd probably spend the extra $$$'s and go for the MSI... Afterburner is killer software, and since it's supported by MSI it will probably offer the best features earlier.... :yepp:
I'm not really dissapointed with this Sapphire 6870, it's a nice card, but the whole TriXX software thing is a little is a little disappointing.
Theres no voltage control for the Sapphire 6870's yet, even though the box touts TriXX... :shakes:
This will probably change pretty quickly, the hardware is there, but the whole deal with the advertising V control and the software not being there is a little aggrevating....
Either way, Unless you have a 58xx card already, the 68xx's would be a good choice, reguardless of the manufacturer... ;)
Yeah i'm more interested in the msi, since it has better support in my country, it looks cooler too, but was worried since earlier versions of ab has no overvolt features
Daveburt - I've only benched it at 1000/1150 for the moment, i'll try and up it to 1250 and see what happens. Will report back!
Edit: Seems to be running fine at 1000/1200, havent pushed further. One thing I did notice when I started pushing higher was I first went from 1100 to 1150, then 1150 to 1170, then 1185 and it the screen started tearing. Then I backed off to 1160 and increased by 5MHz each time. Now running fine at 1200 passing Heaven & 3DMark06.
Thanks for the link._. very niceQuote:

OK newest Afterburner Beta with "EnableUnofficialOverclocking=1" in config.cfg enabled me to go above 850mhz and voltage regulation up to 1.25V!
running 1000/1200 right now; more tests will follow once i get the 1055T overclocked again and a musashi onto the 6850!

Just wanted to say THANKS!
awesomeness.
Well done sapphire for being the first
hello there i got a problem, i got 2xsapphire 6850 installed msi afterburner and when i put on config enableunofficialoverclocking = 1 i take bsod. if i close catalyst overdrive afterburner open but when i try change frequency what ever i put it goes on default the same for memory clocks.
edit: As i see i ll need to wait until go home to try trixx.
Are the max. clocks with TriXX limited? or unlimited?
@strategos
Problem is ulps with crossfire, when u config enableunofficialoverclocking = 1, u get bsods ,so put it back on 0 or disable ulps...I didn't get to work it yet to disable ulps :(
...with HD6850 are "limited" to 1100/6000 (core/mem)...with HD6870 1300/6000... :)Quote:

I was a little bored tonight and decided to try OC'ing my 6870 again.
I can't guartantee this will work for anyone else, but it seemed to help with my card... :yepp:
My idea was to keep the ratio between the GPU and memory as close as possible to stock proportions. On the 6870 this resulted in a ratio of 1:1.167 (GPU/Mem, (900/1050))...
FWIW, it actually got me a little more on the clocks and managed to run for 5 minutes of Furmark torture test without any problems (I shut it down).
My clocks using this method were 1010/1180 (roughly 1010 x 1.167 for the mem), voltage was set to 1.27 using TRIXX.
If anyone else wants to try this method, I'd be interested to see if it gets you a little more on your clocks...
It helped me! :up:
Can someone upload the program to tinyupload.com? I can't download from MU, RS etc
I got my Sapphire 6870 up to 1000Mhz clock speed BUT needed to run roughly 1.225 volts. Temps went up to 91-92 (stable Furmark 10 mins) though and I didn't like that. For now running 950/1150 stock volts, Temps sticking around 86-88.
I'm not sure why my idle temps are so high, still investigating. Any tips on that would help. I read people idle at 55ish, I've re applied some Noctula paste and it helped 1-3 degrees, not much.
I've registered my sapphire and got the latest version of TriXX uploaded to tinyupload.com below, enjoy:

Thanks for uploading it for me, much appreciated.
Do you have your fan speed set to 100%? The results reported by others could be due to their fan running at max speed. Also remember that bypassing the limit in CCC disables powerplay so that's another contributing factor.
More details on the bypass? Not sure what that is...Quote:

Anyone else having issues with Trixx and crossfire? It's only applying the clocks to one card here even with the sync checkbox ticked
hell yeah !
this tool works on my 5850 2gb toxic cards that use a non reference pcb !
people used to say this card's vrms weren't possible to mod !
damn, gotta love the free 10%~ speed boost :D
oh, and about the crossfire crash I had that too, seems to be a problem with the ultra low power state on the second card, had to go in the registry and disable it:
taken from other techpowerup:
"Originally Posted by un-nefer View Post
Post a screenshot of GPU-Z for each gpu to show if ULPS is active on your rig/cards.
If it is active, you need to disable it in the registry:
1. open start/orb menu and enter "regedit" in the search box and press enter
2. if prompted, click "yes" to open the registry editor
3. when the registry editor opens, select/highlight "Computer" at the top of the left column and then when it is selected/highlighted, click "Edit" in the top menu and then click "Find" - or just press "Ctrl + f"
4. When the "Find" window opens, make sure all three "look at" options are selected, and in the "Find what:" box, enter:
enableulps
5. click the "Find Next" button to search the registry
6. If it is found, change the value from 1 to 0 to disable ULPS, then click "Find Next" again to continue searching the registry
7. Repeat the last step until no more matches are found in the registry, then close the registry editor and reboot your PC
8. Done - open GPU-Z and notice that ULPS will no longer be active
Basically ULPS, ultra low power state, can cause the second card to idle down into ULPS (ie. pretty much turn off) and that then causes problems when in crossfire configuration when windows tries to use that second card - which then ends with a BSOD/crash."
Disabling ULPS will ensure both cards are enabled and running as they should when in crossfire configuration.
Does anyone knows a program to unlock voltage control on the GIGABYTE GV-R685OC-1GD? I've tried everything and I can't find the solution (if there's any).
I have same GPU and voltage dont work at all. If i buy ordinery 6850 from GB - oc will be working, aaaah!!! OC version have different voltage regulator then nonOC - so its very tricky :-(
Yeah, GB is very intelligent.Quote:

That's ridiculous.
I try to get back money with 30day waranty... So i can get non OC version, tomorrow i will phone store
I have the crossfire freeze trying to clock with either Trixxx or AB and ULPS is disabled as far as I can determine. Posted about it at TPU as well (W1zzard wrote Trixxx for Sapphire btw) but no one has responded as yet.
