*** Official Radeon HD5800 Series Overclocking Thread ***

watercooled, 900/1300 now. was 900/1200 in the screenshot.

Here is a run on a AMD platform w/XFX5870@900/1300@1.16v.

Havent had any heat issues or lock-up's during gaming.
Wish I got the ASUS instead, didnt feel like waiting lol.

Are you able to do an extreme preset run? If not could you do a custom extreme run at your displays highest resolution? I want to see how processor bottlenecked the performance preset on these cards is.

I am curious as there is roughly a 5000 gpu score discrepancy between your Phenom II and my I7. That just seems like way too large of a gap to me

@ dnottis: nice!!

i just wonder why i get way higher frames, more power consumption and higher temps when using same settings... could you try renaming the .exe to see if its throttled?

Dunno, Im using the MSI beta 91.0 RC7 driver. I definitely dont have any framerate issues. Are you using AA in Furmark? I think I was using 4x.

[flopper]

seems the card I use dont work with the afterburner properly, the voltage dont stick,
I belived I was upping the voltage but after the night and tiredness was cured with sleep,
I check the window on the msi hardware monitor and the voltage is 1.087 no matter what I try to adjust using msi afterburner.
(any ideas?)

so, the card does, 850mhz core on 1.087v.

no i didnt use AA, so that might be the case...

Thank you, will test again for comparison when i come home

[Monstru]

come on MONSTRU lets see some overvolted overclock action on the 5850, its been 14 hours , and we want pics , you know computer guys have no patience,thanks mate

Jeus, you guys really are hard-core. i leave for a week-end and when I come back this thread is huge.

Working on 5850 review ATM, overclocking will have to wait for a little bit

[Gaul]

Little OC @ 925/1250

Nice GPU score though. :p

THANX.......

[Mech0z]

dnottis You havent tried higher gpu clock?

[jaredpace]

Well Kingpin & Shamino just scored P52500 Vantage with a 6.2g i9 + 1300/1250 5870 quadfire. Their Extreme score was X33,000 LOL wtf

OMFG!! does this prove that with i9 we will have alot higher fps/better scaling with more then 2x5870?

[GLENBOY]

now that frikkin awesome will have my 5850's tomorrow, luvvly jubbly

[dnottis]

950 failed @ stock volts in Vantage. Havent played with voltage yet as Im not sure AfterBurner is really applying voltage. Dont really want to flash the card, its really fast in games right now and I had multiple 4870s die on me. I'm just enjoying gaming right now and the low temps. The PCB doesnt even get warm, VRMs either. This thing is running so cool. Maxed CCC 900/1300 for now, games are screaming!

Unless devs learn how to code games, nope...

they put a new afterburner on yesterday it says the 5850 is supported

uisng afterburner solo, voltage apply works, with amd gpu tool, buggs out.

[GLENBOY]

i wonder if its because of the ccc low max clocks , come on lets get an asustop bios or at least one with much higher ccc limits

I bet it is,
waitin for asus or someone elses unlocked 5850 bios

[Mech0z]

Seems so unfair that they are using I9 to break records before the cpu is released :S

[Sh1tyMcGee]

Anyone know how much the i9 is going to be?

[Theorw]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Really cant wait to get my 5850 and start the OC marathon for this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But i have to wait for a week at least till it hits the selves here....
I ll put a MUSASHI on it so be ready for some serious clocks soon!!!!

there are some benefits for being xtreme

Hi

HIS5870 flashed with modified bios
Using msi Afterbunrner
Clocks
gpu 925
men 1250
V 1.29
3D mark Vantage 18133
water cooling next on vid card

[GLENBOY]

thanks for posting up beast sounds a lot of volts for 925 core , really 1.29 is only really needed for 1000ish going off what other people have used,unless yours just needs higher volts as all these gpu's seem to vary, have your tried lower volts or a higher gpu clock

[strange|ife]

im still waiting for a 5850 to come in stock at egg.

so let me get this straight, with afterburner you can change voltage via software?

interesting.
