    5xxx series and PCMARK05

    Hi guys

    I recently got 5770 CF and when I ran PCMARK05 I got a terrible score compared to with my old 9600 GT. I think it has something to do with the bad 2d clocks on the 5xxx series. I saw AndreYang got nice results in the GPU tests in PCmark05 with a 5870 but I don't know how to get my cards to perform properly for the benchmark.

    Thanks.

    You need to raise the 2D clocks.
    Make sure you run it on Windows Vista with the Aero theme enabled.

    Yeah but how do I raise the 2d clocks then? I'm using MSI afterburner.

    Also why Vista? 7 is working fine?

    I don't remember if there's a tool to raise the 2D clocks of the HD5xxx series in realtime, but I do know for sure that you can do it with a BIOS edit with RBE ( Radeon BIOS Editor )

    Make sure you up the 2d voltages as well then. Running 3d clocks at 2d voltage will instantly crash your card :p
