9.12 seems to be an improvement.

[kpablo]

So... ATI already released a Hotfix... :O

LOL

[jaredpace]

yah

9.12 is NOV 24th (8.861-091124a) 092500C (Sapphire) and 092499C (Official)



and

9.12 hotfix is DEC 14th (8.682.2-091214a)

indeed it does

Still on leaked 9.12 8.14.10.0716 beta drivers. Tried higher cpu clock but W3570 seems to hang in CPU tests at 4723Mhz for Vantage but fine for 4753Mhz 3dmark05 at least (max 3dmark05 benched on W3570 HT On H20 is 4803Mhz).

My first bench with GPU clocked at 1000Mhz @1000/1275

System:

• Intel Xeon W3570 3847A696
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
• Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD
• 3x Sapphire HD5870 CF flashed Asus bios 9.12 (8.14.10.0716 (3x hd5870))
• 750GB Samsung SATA
• Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
• Corsair HX1000 PSU
• Dual Boot - WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme & Win7 Ultimate 64bit RTM

• 3D Vantage @1000/1275 = 36,703 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1696745
• 3DMark05 @1000/1275 = 42,414 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=5088120

Hey guys, how can i overclock both cores of the 5970?
I'm using MSI Afterburner or ATI GPU Tool. both only clock the first core.

Thanks

Afterburner does clock both cores. Use GPU-Z to verify each gpu is overclocked.

thanks Chad

This is my best shot with the Official 9.12 (not Sapphire one nor Hotfix one)... i can't go higher...

Intel i7 950@4.6GHz HT On, Evga X58 Classified E759, CFX HD5870 1000/1350. Catalyst 9.12, Windows 7 64bits 30456 / 28139 / P29842



Soooo close to 30k...

BTW... The 9.12 Hotfix, i have an issue... seems like my clock and temps in 2D mode of one of the vcard, the second one, just not work, it shows 0 in all (temp, gpu and mem clocks) only start detecting when change to 3D mode, then go back to 0 when return to 2D. weird :/ Same happened to me with 9.11 Beta 5...

@kPablo great Vantage score

How safe do you say it will be to overvolt the 5970?
My environment is very cold mostly -1 to -10.

When I did 1000/1220 @ 1.25V at heavy load, temps of the GPU never got above 60c.

Thanks.

*honest to God I did not wrote the same thing.. twice!

I just set at max voltage allowed in MSI Afterburner, which is 1350mV.

[Gaul]

MORE update.......

[ChaosAD]

Yesterday managed to break 20k vantage. But i ll post a screen when i find the max clocks for stock voltage

[nickless]

Someone who can modify Asus Smart doctor to recognize HD5850 flashed with Asus HD5870 bios?!
When I flash my Sapphire 5850 with Asus 5850 bios everything is ok, but with Asus HD5870 bios Smart doctor gives me an error "Can't find video cards information"
I need more vcore above the MSI Afterburner 1.35v limit.
Now with Asus 5850 bios and 1.4v I can get 1123MHz GPU, but RAM works better with 5870 bios:

What is the Xcode thing that Saphhire have in their DL page? The name is:
"Catalyst 9.12 Windows 7 Xcode (64-bit) for Windows 7 64-bit Edition" 29.16MB - Release date: December 21

Also they have a set of 9.12 dated December 21.

[LedHed]

are the drivers improving Crossfire performance much? I know the first reports of 5870 Crossfire setups was disappointing.

WITH 9.12 my xfire 5870s have improved

Stable in FurMark, and Games.

LOL at 82% fan speed. For benchmarks is fine but i cant even think about gaming with a Hoover next to my left ear. Max i got with 1.162v is 980/1300. I ll test 990 today.
