Happy 5850 owner here! Not letting it go anytime soon (not until I save some money for 79xx anyway). Still impressed how well it performs nowadays, especially after I bumped it to 840/1300 at default voltage.

AlienIsGOD · Feb 20, 2013, 08:03 PM

I must say after 2 months with my 7870, im more than impressed. Card runs quiet and handles 1080P gaming @ max settings for 90% of my games

The 7870 is indeed a great card and handles most games at 1080p well.
I am pleased with the performance of the card.

Of course it does

That card is a beast.

My HD 5770, piece by piece. (Which I now run at 900/1250, now that I've replaced the TIM with MX-4

)

Brace yourselves for lots of pics

Idles @ ~30ºC, with room temp. @ ~17.5ºC.

_JP_ · Mar 22, 2013, 11:12 PM

Higher than this and it gets a bit iffy...

I tried the CCC max values, but even at 10MHz less across the board, I was getting complete corruption. So I'm going to leave it like this. Already a very good improvement.

Same card here, I can get 1 Ghz on GPU out of it no problem, finishes all of the benches and tests I throw at it, runs very stable at about 65-70 C, I'll post some screenshots tomorrow

_JP_ · Mar 23, 2013, 09:42 PM

Cool beans, but I'm not overvolting mine. Also, my chip is seated in a custom cost-effective PCB from Sapphire, so lower OC headroom is to be expected.
Btw, the card was skipping frames every now and then with those clocks, in games. I pretty much gave up, since the performance boost wasn't all that noticeable, so now I am running at 875/1250.

GTextel/s, GPixel/s and RAM GB/s now all have xx.0 values, which is neat because my OCD was kicking in anyway....

gdallsk · Mar 23, 2013, 10:00 PM

_JP_,
not overvolting mine either btw, I can't actually overvolt mine at all, probably because it doesn't support overvolting, but yours can..... hmmm, strange...

but still, runs great, no skipping frames whatsoever, had crysis 3 running on it for quite a while...

_JP_ · Mar 23, 2013, 10:29 PM

I don't think mine supports custom voltage settings. Haven't bothered with that, but because I assume it doesn't support that.

I have 2-XFX 5770's and 2-XFX 6950's please add me to the club!

You have been added.

AlienIsGOD · Mar 24, 2013, 11:45 AM

could you please remove my 6870 and add a gigabyte 7770

i made a trade for WCG purposes

Chevalr1c · Mar 24, 2013, 12:44 PM

Consider it done.

1x Sapphire Radeon 9800
1x Asus 4870x2 Tri-Fan exchanged (2days running, broke) to 1x Sapphire Radeon HD4870x2
1x Sapphire Radeon HD6990

i will always go for sapphire

gdallsk · Mar 24, 2013, 02:54 PM

As promised

I don't see a reason to overclock the memory, and its not very overclock-able anyway...

The card itself

_JP_ · Mar 24, 2013, 03:59 PM

So you have the same SKU as I do similar SKU model. And you ran into problems with vRAM, not core.
Interesting.
Anyway, I tested mine as it currently runs (875/1250) to see the difference. As I expected, core OC on this card doesn't yield as much performance increase as vRAM OC.

If you can reach 1GHz no problems, mine should probably handle the CCC limit (960MHz), which means vRAM was holding me back.
1400MHz+ I got complete image corruption. @ 1375MHz I got skipping frames every once in a while.
So 1300MHz should be usable without problems. I have to test it 1st.
Even if you don't want to really OC the RAM on this card, at least 1250MHz is possible, since it's the speed these chips are rated to run at.

EDIT: Yours seems to have Hynix RAM chips, which are better for OC...at least, based on what I've seen. And the card isn't exactly the same. Yours has different RAM chips and lacks LEDs on the backside.

_JP_, just tried to overclock memory along with GPU core, and yeah doing good so far

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Mar 24, 2013, 05:37 PM

Add me in for another Visiontek Hd 7850 OC Edition which will be crossfired with the one I already have. . And I do crunch wcg on my gpus.

Anyone can reccomend some tuning proggie and volts for my Asus 5870 v2? I try using GPUtweak but it no work, right now using Trixx but not 100% compatible... Looking to squeeze some more life, so far 915/1275 seems Ok. Anyhing higher and driver craps out during gaming

I should be able to hit 950 on the core, just need to up tha volts

Even if you don't want to really OC the RAM on this card, at least 1250MHz is possible, since it's the speed these chips are rated to run at. EDIT: Yours seems to have Hynix RAM chips, which are better for OC...at least, based on what I've seen. And the card isn't exactly the same. Yours has different RAM chips and lacks LEDs on the backside. Last edited by _JP_; Mar 24, 2013 at 05:13 PM.
