My 3D06 score was right on par with the 4870/4850 CF settup I was running (before oc'ing then new card).
I used CCC to overclock it and ended up with 945 core and 1135 Mem (auto OC).
I get the feeling the card actually has alot more in it because the fan speed never really even kicked up, and I'm sure CCC doesn't push the card too far.
Could someone reccommend a good bench to really push the card, so I can stress test with confidence?
Also, since TriXX isn't available yet to allow voltage adjustment, what would be the best software to let me push past 1000 core (Afterburner)?
Thanks... Dave
do manual oc, not auto i'm sure easy touch 1 GH with CCCQuote:

I am not sure if other HD6850s will go as fast as the one that I have. I might have just got lucky and picked up a fast one.
With voltage control I think it will go faster.
Gaul I don't know what AB version I have.
The core limit on his card might be higher because of the XFX bios.
Anyway, here is the maxed out core and memory ( cant go over these limits because of the CCC limits ).
This Asus DirectCU 6850 is running nice and cool. Under 65C even at this speed. Rock stable.
Those who are getting low scores in vantage, update to 10.10c hotfix. I found my card was not getting loaded properly. the log showed the GPU load was dropping to 70% for fraction of a second causing stutter i was seeing on the screen.
10.10c hotfix fixed it.
Here is run at 1000/1250.

10.10c hotfix fixed that.
It was not related to kombuster only. In some games too the gpu was not getting loaded to 99/100% with 10.10. hotfix seems to have cured it.
Running Cat. 10.10c
Not sure why gpu load wasn't at 100% with the MSI kombuster.
It had some nice benches on 3dMark06 and Vantage.
@ cobraxp = which brand 6870 u have ?
My gigabyte 6870 does 990 core before freezing in kombustor at 100% fan and ~22C ambient benchtop setup.
Using AB 2.1b2 i can easily get higher than 1000 core clock by setting >900, applying and then closing and reopening AB ;)
Tried a Sapphire HD 6850 in my AMD rig for the heck of doing so. My nephew's getting the card when I'm done playing with it. It's doing 945|1150 stock voltage.
One hour of Kombustor.
http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/1968/6850oc.jpg
AvP 1920x default = 47.1FPS
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/552/avp16850.jpg
I'm testing 990|1150 1.250 mV with Afterburner/Kombustor now.
Hmmm, since 6870 voltage control is not currently available but 6850 is - do you think its possible to flash a 6870 to a 6850?
For anyone who might be interested:
Changing the config file in MSI Afterburner 2.1.0 b2 will allow you to take the CPU and Mem clocks much higher (1265/1495).
It still doesn't give voltage control though...
These changes work on my Sapphire 6870. It didn't really help for me, the best my card can do stable @ stock V's is 950/1150.
Go to the MSI Afterburner folder (should be in C:Users/username).
Open the file "MSIAfterburner.cfg" using notepad.
Edit the following 2 items:
unlockvoltagecontrol = 1
enableunofficialoverclocking = 1
Then use the "save as" option with File Type "All Files" and select Save.
This should let you run higher clocks than what CCC allows.
Hope this helps....... Dave
Thanks for the help dave :D
Found the download for After Burner 2.1.0 B2.zip
Looks like 1k is all i'm getting out of my core clock, Kombustor fails at 1005 lol
is there any benefit from using furmark over kombuster?
I'm testing the 6850 in my old 940 rig. That's the one I'm passing on to my nephew. I tried Heaven v2.1 default @ 1920x 945|1150. So far it seems like a solid little card for the asking price.
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2117/hevv216850.jpg
Little question for the people with an 68XX. Is the Accelero S1 rev2 compatible for mounting on the core with these new cards?
What about VRM temps? Are they high?
Awesome, tried this out last night but my Sapphire 6870 called it quits at 1050MHz (stock memory), hard lock ups after 1045MHz. I really hope we can see 1150MHz out of the core once we get voltage control. But I doubt I'll be able to live with myself using the stock leafblower "about to take off into space" cooling solution :p: Hell anything over 40% is unbearable!Quote:

Now if there is a way to get a key that is legal and within the EULA of Vantage, it is fine, just be careful. We cannot allow pirating in any shape way or form.
i.e. we gotta be dicks or the site gets toasted...
So please be careful with this sort of discussion.
Bump for waiting on a 6870 voltage tool!
actually i thought about online promotions as i remember several vantage giveaways with different hardwaresites or manufacturers...Quote:

That would be me also. I used TX-4. I setup the user defined fan. 37% is was at 43c before. Now 37c. I rarely go past 58c with fan going to 66% on benchmarks. Before I was past 70c with fan kicking up to 80%.Quote:

Well I've maxed out the volts in Sapphire's Trixx program and got some nice results. I know a Vantage run would have been nice, but I need to purchase a key! This is max clocks btw @ 1.299v & 88% fanspeed. Card maxed out at 70*C in Kombustor with those settings (1680x1050 8xAA in kombustor). I guess my memory can't run at 1200MHz stable, 1150 is the highest it'll go before I get artifacts.
