Unleash the Gladiator (RV670): 862MHz GPU Clock Limit Fixed

[Astennu]

HD3870 - 16 texture Units @ 775Mhz
8800x - 24 texture Units @1.2Ghz

Where did you get the 1.2 Ghz for the texture units ? as far as i know the texture units have the clockspeeds of the ROB's. So if you have a 8800 GT they would run @ 600 MHz. Shader speeds are seperated and operate @ 1500 MHz for the GT.

comeon guys keep on topic.. go post in 3870 vs 8800 GT

How to enable the GPU Utilization @ Rivatuner ?

[jedimindtriks]

I made measurement with a numerical voltmetre (I afflict use a Français/Anglais translator)
Vgdr4


Vvpu

does this mean anything for us modding noobs?

[Sage]

looks like we know where to take measurements to see if volts are going up by BIOS or other methods

[Wirelessfender]

I agree with you! Please keep this thread on topic and working towards the goal of getting these cards OCed higher!

But seriously dude, calm down.

[Wirelessfender]

Can we get a compiled thread with ONLY the info on developments for getting these cards OCed higher? like a guide or something? 15 pages is kinda long...

[tbone8ty]

i agree

like the 2900pro thread

[Astennu]

Have other people also tested the new Beta 3 of ATi tool ? I have seen people that say they can clock there HD3870 with it and chance fan speed. But non of them mentioned the Voltage control. And that is the most interesting part

I also tried some BIOS edit tools but non of them could edit the HD3870 bios. But it was worth the try,

[cstkl1]

the new ati tool buggy

so has anybody has the gecube HD3870 OC bios...really want them..

[PhilDoc]

There's a new ATI Tool beta 4. It works better for overclocking then the beta 3, but doesn't have a voltage option. Hopefully, there'll be a hardware mod soon.

[Jupiler]

Let's stay on topic, please.
Some posts have been edited/removed, so let's keep it calm and civilized.
This is about the RV670 and NOT about the 8800GT.
There are other topics concerning the 8800GT. You can post your opinions, questions etc... there.

[malik22]

Hope to get mine soon.

i just sold my 8800gt and bought 2x 3870.. am i the only one to do so?

act i planned to grab the new g92 8800gts, since it is secretly available already in my place.. but then i just need to add around RM300 (roughly around $80) to get 2x 3870.. so i bought this 3870 coz i know these 2cards will perform better than 1 gts plus it offers me better picture in HD playback

[ryanmartini]

how exactly do I flash my card to the fixed mem divider BIOS? I downloaded the ATi flash utility and BIOS from techpowerup.

My card dies EXACTLY @ 863 >.>

one estonian Hd3870 @ 918/1395 with stock cooling and not modded bios + warm air.
there is potential.. all we need is vmods and 1000-1100 mhz gpu is possible with air..

I don't have the time right now to read all 15 pages of the thread right now.

For the Vmod, is it posible to do it via a BIOS flash?

I read in earlier posts about that being done but I think I read that it also didn't work...

Or do you have to solder on the board it self? Or is it posible to do it via a pencil type mod?

Thanks

Also, I'm supposed to be getting a HIS 3870, what're the chances of it having a "fixed" BIOS that won't top out at 860~?

Thanks again.

Sapphire had released a HD3870 ES Bios:

1. fixed the 862MHz limit.
2. fixed bugs of the fan speed from always 25%-25% to 35%-50%.

No pen mods and no bios mods right now.
It should eventually be controllable by software.

Right now you have to hard mod, i.e. solder. (in the 8800gt vmod a member said that conductive ink/super glue works though some members disagreed)

[aiya]

which bios are you guys using? the one in the first post or the one from techpowerup? also do any of these new bios fix the fan?

Where to find that particular bios?
