4870 Overclocking Thread

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Could you tell me about the used softwares? I edited every clock with RBE but GPZ-U still show 750Hmz and my 3dMark score proof is. (Sapphire 4870) Should I uninstall CCC?

you must first flash to stock bios, the uncheck ati overdrive, then flash to the OC'ed clocks and you should be all set

Hi Sniipe Dogg. Was all this on stock volts and stock cooler? Did you change thermal paste at all? What was fan speed at? Temps for idle/load at those settings?

As well, what did you do to thoroughly test the card for stability and artifacts? Have you tried higher? How does the card respond exactly when it becomes unstable?

Sorry for the myriad of questions, just very curious is all as I have my eyes set on this card. Thank you.

Stock volts, stock cooler. MX-2 on the GPU. fan profile set through graph: low=40 high=70 minfan%=20. I am about to try higher in the next 30 mins or so. It hasnt become unstable yet so i have no idea how it responds

hopefully we wont have to wait long for some tools to come along ....used the gfx cooler fix atm to keep temps a bit lower

stock cooler gives me load temps of 50C

well, i'm really tempted to use rbe again but i dont want to have the card running with max volts in 2d.... its just not going to be healthy imo... i might be wrong....
as soon as we know which clocks effect which state, i'll be pushing my cards again....
by the way, if you've worked some of these out, let me know..... thanks in advance....

the voltage never changes evwen in stock bios and 2d clocks, all your changing is a slight amount and its not like the gpu is running at load all the time so your not getting a ton of heat
