Unlocked Asus 5770 bios for you

[SonDa5]

gpu score matters...

Thanks again. Better but similar performance.
HD5770>HD4770

[Riska]

It is because the drivers out that support the HDD5770 sucks

Wondering why my GPU scrore is a good 900 points then your 5770's are ... Maybe you dont set your mipmap to performance when you bench.

[pvhk]

not the same memory clock though!
you 1445mhz
me: 1300mhz
had improve since....

No, at 1000 / 1250, my GPU score was 16599.

At 960 / 1445 it was 16951.

So if you are running your 5770's at 1030 / 1300 on Windows 7, you shouldnt be too far off, also the difference on the ram clocked over 1300 is very small, starting off with a sharp performance decrease before it provides a tiny benefit a 1445.

Maybethe CPU is having a small impact on the GPU score, it shouldnt though.

You can see my full list of various runs at different clock frequencies here:

I got some results at last for my Xfire 5770s

The CPU is running at 3780 Mhz with turboboost, and the vga ram is at stock speed of 1200 Mhz in each run.

GPU @ 850 Mhz, P14690

GPU @ 900 Mhz, P15578

GPU @ 960 Mhz, P16124

They seem to respond really well to GPU increases, just hope I can unlock the upper limit to 1 Ghz and up soon. I'll be increasing the ram speed next.


Keeping the GPU at 960 Mhz, and increasing the ram:

Ram @ 1250 Mhz, P16797

Ram @ 1300 Mhz, P17020

Performance decrease at 1350 Mhz ram - P16773 (I tried two runs, similar result both times).

Ram @ 1445 MHz, P17215

All the ones above were Vista ones, I forget that, and they were faster in Windows 7:

1000 / 1250: P17882
960 / 1445: P18168

Maybe you dont set your mipma

How do you do that?

[Theorw]

How do you do that?

I h emeans set the mipmap,its on catalyst and it has to do with the texture quality.Its usualy on level 4 but putting it on level 3 will giva ya 100rdmark points:P
CAN SOMEONE POST A SAPPHIRE BIOS?OR XFX???

Single XFX 5770 @ 1050/1445 ..

Bios included

[SonDa5]

Single XFX 5770 @ 1050/1445 ..

45 degrees under load is sweet.

Was thinking of getting this. I will remember this thread.

thxs for reporting these discrepancies!
will check back my settings...maybe i'm cpu bound too...

[SonDa5]

It is because the drivers out that support the HDD5770 sucks

I hope that is the problem.

[Riska]

it is the problem these cards should be at least 20-25% faster than the HD4770 cards but they are not in some games they are slower and in vantage it is the same

[Dahaka]

Hi guys.

I can't flash with ATI winflash on vista64 and XP ( 32bits ). The program say is no ati graphic card :S.

regards.

[Riska]

You have to use atiflash in dos

That is exactly what I have been seeing. I have been searching and searching for the performance that this card should have but it doesn't seem to have it. I have 2 HD4770s which I have ran in Xfire and I don't see any significant performance gains with HD5770.

I hope it is just a driver issue because I really wanted to get 2 HD5770s for Xfire but the performance just doesn't seem to be there yet.

Dammit xD.

Thanks

Performance issue solved in my case!
many guys over at my french thread report "cpu overclocking pb" once hd5770 is mounted! freeze/crash...They were compelled to clock down the cpu in order to run correctly the hd5770.
Changing the psu pc p&c from a 500w to a 610w did not solved the pb for me!
Partly solved by pluging-in fdd power connectors to feed further the pcie slot (a particularity on the dfi LT x48 t2rs) but totally resolved by down-clocking the fsb from 455 to 450!

Good to see progress for HD5770.

[pvhk]

So, here it is!
A mere downclocked q9400 (fsb@450) +
CF hd5770 @1010/1275

better than my previous score with my q9400@3.64ghz & CF hd5770@1030/1300:

Great work pvhk. *770 for life!

Sonda pal i confirm that my card is steadier with the stock bios that the unlocked asus one...
In the beggining i could do 1040/1400 with the stock gpu clock/msi and then i flashed the unlocked and i could only do 1015/1400 stable
I flashed XFX no good too...Then i put yesterday stock bios bak con and i again got 1040!!!And 400+@3dmrak06!
This is specific for my card though...Other cards might still benefit from the ASUS bios so i should still try it!!!!

[pvhk]

my sapphire works great with the asus bios: up to 1075/1350 and benching up to 1100/1350 @1.35v (to much for 24/7!)

[thijs]

hmm, got a XFX 5770. just flashed it to asus bios, downloading the asus xp driver as we speak, cuzz xfx driver wont install. tried a bit, so far 960 ( so the max for xfx bios ) on 1.20, although i seem to get 1 fps more if i swap to 1.25 , must be the ECC thingy? or what ever it was called.

One thing is kind of strange, perhaps the asus bios fixes that, or it was something els ( the driver? ) but i cant even get a 1300mhz mem run completed, did everyone with 1400mhz mem vmod it or so? going to check what mem is on, perhaps a new batch with different mem or so? no idea yet, hope mine will do 1400 aswell though, i want to compete with it.

[pvhk]

running mem @1400 without artifact is one thing, performance rise another!
it is possible to bench @1400 in my case, but i experienced performance drop by 1385 for the best card...

just for bench, vgpu@1.35v:

not my best result, probably due to heat issue...
best result @1085 vgpu@1.287v
