lol you beat me to announcing my own new uploads .. nice

Thanks W1z!

You realize that you are tempting me to take an early leave today at work.........

[Jupiler]

Thx for the update, W1zzard.

[Free Gordon]

the flashing utilities in our download section dont work with rv670 .. but i'm working on getting those tools

Great!!

[SKYMTL]

I am anxious to see if the tool works for anyone and how far they can push their cards.

[mattmartineau88]

Flased And Ready For Drivers :d Oh Yes

[Miwo]

I am wondering if we can change the 3D Voltages in the BIOS if someone figures out where they are addressed.

So.... who's not at work right now and has a 3870? >_<

I'll have it clocked in about 3 mins and i shall report

[SKYMTL]

With proof of oc please.

[mattmartineau88]

just putting it through auto tune at the moment and it set it to 872, but i will try another prog soon

[cefurkan]

i think ati chose the same way with nvidia

i think it wont work

but i am waiting the results too

[LowRun]

Thanks W1zzard, i can't wait to see some results now

[mattmartineau88]

Ok, catalyst auto tune just set it to:

It shows 872 / 1376 in catalyst which is pretty much max u can do on it, i reckon another program could get it quite a bit higher tho

Try Rivatuner. The newest version works with the HD3870.

Okey doke, shall i use 3dmark06 proxycon to test the clock stability?

Sure do hope 900 is possible

[SKYMTL]

Test with Proxycon for GPU and Deep Freeze for memory OCs.

[mattmartineau88]

ok right well i can get it up to 890 stable but for somereason the hardware monitor on rivatuner wont show about 877? any ideas?

And GPU-Z as well actually :S

[reflux]

Can confirm the BIOS seems to work. Just clocked to 872mhz to check. Flashed with WinTool, no problems

Thanks to W1zzard and whoever else sorted this out.

[cefurkan]

And GPU-Z as well actually :S

since its real value is 877 not 890

gpu clock not increase mhz by mhz

it increase bloks by bloks

[mattmartineau88]

OK, current situation is that it can be clocked to 885MHZ in ati overdrive, however it will only show up to 877MHZ in GPU-Z so i dont know whether this is the actual figure or if there's some hardware>software confusion. I'm trying to resolve at the moment

Are you guys using the Stock ATI Dualslot cooler? What kind of temps are you getting on load?

I will flash my card first thing I get home. I am running 41C under load, so I don't think temperature is an issue for me yet. Perhaps someone will figure out how to modify the voltage in the bios like the 2900Pro/XT, which will give us even more headroom

If you turn the fan to 90%/100% on stock its around 50C at 877MHZ

862 to 877

only increased 15 mhz ?

This is the top i can get anything to show as a core clock reading:
