makes me wanna do the bios thing, but i don't wanna risk killing my card.

nice results!

that bios thing enable CCC oc to 900mhz for core and 1400mhz for mem...

[boblemagnifique]

that bios thing enable CCC oc to 900mhz for core and 1400mhz for mem...

what is the bios use please ? are you a link at give ? thank

[quake6]

What did you tweak in 3D Mark 06? 1400 more points? That is awsome,I got max 200 points from tweaking

Same question
pretty gfx, nice results!

[hecktic]

can you run CF with HD4870 or even Quad CF ??

[CraptacularOne]

can you run CF with HD4870 or even Quad CF ??

Why wouldn't he be able to run CF? All he or anyone needs is multiple HD4870's and it will work fine.


Nice scores Denny It's too bad you killed your new toy so soon, as I would have loved to see what you were getting in 05 and 03 at those speeds

[keninishna]

damn I didn't even think you could kill a card from just clocking the memory too high. No voltmod?

[BooStFeD]

that bios thing enable CCC oc to 900mhz for core and 1400mhz for mem...

Nice scores and results. Sorry about the card.

Tell us more about this bios plz

[guess2098]

for 3Dmark06 tweak, you need to change the setting of CCC and also the LOD

i hope i have 2 cards so i can do CF.. now i don't even have 1 lol

no vmod, it just died, 1200 x4 = 4800. maybe i really overclock too high.. becareful on those GDDR5


for bios question, i am sorry i can talk about any detail of that in here

Can you be more precise,~2k points is a lot

[overcrash]

Can you be more precise,~2k points is a lot

I would like to know the tweaks as well

[guess2098]

no problem. show you guys later tonight

[keiths]

Thought I'd ask; Looking for those with 4870s to bench something at 625 GPU and stock memory for 4850/4870 GPU vs memory comparison: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=192690 Been using games and settings used by the 4870 reviews in order to compare.

[Sav]

guess2098, the 4870 is very nice
What's your fsb on cpu?

[Mad Maverick]

Hey Guys,

My good friend will get a pair of cards on Tuesday. So don't feel too bad. For all you curious guys out there that have a burning sensation to push your HD 4870 cards just a little faster, here is a custom bios from my engineering team.

COPY THIS URL TO WEB BROWSER

http://www.letbuyonline.com/HD487051...BootableCD.iso

to download bootable ISO file…



1) Burn the ISO "HD4870512MBOC765-915MhzBootableCD.iso” with your favorite burner software

2) Restart your PC and make sure the “boot sequence” for the bios setting set correctly in order for CD-Rom to boot

3) After booted to MS-DOS mode at command prompt change directory to your CD-Rom Letter Drive “cd d:”

4) Type flash

1) Wait for a confirmation message then restart your PC but don’t forget to send us an e-mail for the result. Thanks!

3dmark tweaks? wtf?

[dragonavenger]

4800Mhz

Wow, great card , although I wanted to see more benchmarks
I'm sorry about your 4870 m8, but don't worry, I'm sure that next one is going to be even better

3dmark tweaks? wtf?

Don't tell me you didn't know they existed ... Every 3D Mark has some tweaks, that's about drivers, specific LOD values, windows tweaking etc, etc

[dinos22]

wow 2000 points by tweaking '06
what did you do lol

[Lightman]

wow 2000 points by tweaking '06
what did you do lol

He sign a pact with DEVIL

Back on topic:

I'm getting HD4870 but I'm waiting for 1GB version this round
Looking at 4850 volt-mod results it looks like >1GHz core on 4870 with Air/Water should be easy and hopefully 1.2-1.4GHz on something colder in proper hands .

@guess2098: When you're getting next cards?? Can't wait to see some more action!!

Press Release Diamond Releases Radeon HD 4870 XOC Unlocked Black Edition
Diamond Multimedia (www.diamondmm.com), a leading manufacturer of PC graphics cards, sound cards and communications products, launched today along with boutique system builder Smoothcreations, and Water cooling mavens, Danger Den the ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 XOC Black Edition graphics card. This card offers exquisite gaming capabilities combined with state of the art efficiency.

The HD 4870 is a smoking gun dual slot card, PCIE 2.0, with 512MB of DDR5 memory and a clock speed of 800 MHz. The memory speed is 1100 MHz and is designed with 800 stream processors. The HD 4870 provides plug-and-play ATI CrossFireX™ upgradeability with up to quad-GPU support. Continuing with ATI’s Power Play and 55nm processing technology, this card is the fastest and efficient. “The Diamond Radeon HD 4870 XOC Black Edition was clocked to kick some ass”. We didn’t just want a fast card out in the market, we wanted the fastest card that could kick the living daylights and bust some performance records, say Mario Gastelum, Director of Product Development & Engineering. “we wanted a card that kicked the competitions teeth into the curb”, and that’s exactly what our engineers accomplished”. “The firmware was custom designed to enable end users to go beyond the normal over clocked speeds and allow them to push their cards for higher performance via the catalyst control center.” The GPU’s custom firmware has been unlocked to push cards to GPU settings of up to 950 MHz and Memory of up 1200 MHz.

Diamond Teamed up with Premier Boutique system builder, SmoothCreations, to offer these powerful graphics cards to Smoothcreations legendary beauty and performance pc system platforms. “We wanted to complement beauty, artisan craftsmanship, and performance power to a gaming system, and Diamond helped us accomplish that”, says Jim Saling, CEO of SmoothCreations. In collaboration with Danger Den, Smoothcreations will be offering a water cooled edition as well.

All Diamond video cards carry the Diamond guarantee of quality assurance. Unlike many cards that are simply first to market, Diamond carefully tests and retests every new model for its ratio of performance to reliability. Diamond is legendary in the PC video card business for its less than 1 percent return rate. Diamond cards use superior connectors, cables and components, as well as undergo more thorough testing for heat susceptibility and durability.

Availability
Diamond Multimedia’s ATI Radeon HD 4870 XOC Black Edition will be available for purchase starting July 01, 2008 and will be available Exclusively at Premier Boutique System Builder Smoothcreations.
