I give you (drums... ...) the-
HD5850 that requires 1.16 Volts for 1Ghz\1.2Ghz
ta-dam!

And also got a sexy cooler.

...And it costs only 0.00$ more then a reference HD5850!
guys, the reference HD5850 blue pcb is the best HD5850 out there, peroid.

Imagine 1.3V

Question. What did you use to up the volts?

I think it will. Visiontek makes great cards. They are WAY under rated.

i would have to agree withyou there my friend. i owned a Vision Tek 4870 with its custom cooler.

man i miss that board!

VGA OC TOOL (BETA) Its one of Wizzards own programs hes working on or something. aparently this tool has some sort of codes that allows you to change the voltage on a non-ref cards

Anyone seen a 5870 only artifact when playing a game in DX11?

Only does it in Heaven 2.1 and on ultra settings in Dirt 2. If you turn down the settings to high in Dirt 2 in barely does it. BC2 I don't have any problems.

Has absolutely no problems in DX10 or less DX version. Only DX11 and only sometimes.

Only thing is that it has an older bios 012.011.000.006. Its an XFX card and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that they had bios problems early on. This isn't a XXX card.

Unfortunately this one doesn't have a warranty but my other one that works fine does.

Use DXDIAG, check DX DDI version...on display tab...is it 11, or 10.1?

Mine says 10.1, why is that Dave? I'm using the 10.8 drivers :confused:

Why? Just yet another reason for AMD to piss me off is all, I guess.

:shadedshu

:laugh:

See this thread:

Dxdiag incorrectly reports DirectX 11 devices as ...

Windows Update should detect the card, and push the hotfix, but doesn't, because AMD sucks at communicating problems to thier partners.

I tell ya, really, I have a LONG LONG list of problems with the 5-series, and here's yet another. I really beleive AMD staff is incapable and should be fired. I want nVidia to take over the programming side of AMD, as I've said before, but AMD can't buy nVidia, and nVidia would loose AMD's x86 liscence if they bought AMD.

6-series? :laugh:

NO THANK YOU.

:laugh:

AMD needs to prove all these issues have been addressed. Been a year now...

On the AMD system that has Vista x64 it says 11. Idk about 7 but since it exibits the same problems there too I'm sure it says 11.

I was flipping through the XFX bios on TPU and I think the one on this card is the launch bios. Dates about 2 weeks before the launch date that GPUz shows for the card.

Got my second 5870 now and now going crossfire

yay i'm in

i bet in a few years we'll need one of these to power our systems

You should be able to tell by stock voltages for 3D. Most recent has 1.174v. If DX DDI is ok, then bios update is a must.

mastrdrver · Sep 6, 2010

So is ATIflash still the preferred way? Is so are the steps still the same?

Never done this before. Tried to do some searching but all the threads are a little old.

cadaveca · Sep 6, 2010

Yeah, I use ATiFlash via bootable USB. You may also want to check teh XFX website to see if there is an easy bios update hosted there..nearly every reference 5-series got a bios update, AFAIK, by March of this year.

mastrdrver · Sep 6, 2010

Found a tool on their site that just auto flashes the card and replaced the bin file with the one from my other card. Still does the same thing though.

On a good note, the broken card now looks exactly like my good card.

Do you know if its possible to modify the CCC limits on these cards with RBE?

cadaveca · Sep 6, 2010

Yes, you can, very easily, using "no hash" method.

Also, if your cards will do 900/1250, I suggest using the XXX bios.

mastrdrver · Sep 6, 2010

Using their files all you have to do is run a .bat and it does the rest. Extremely easy just don't know if it works still if say I flash to Asus bios for higher CCC limits.

I know my working card does 900/1250 no problem. It even does 1300 on memory no problem. Tested using Furmark.

Whats different about XXX bios?

cadaveca · Sep 6, 2010

It's just newer, well ,the 900.1250 one, anyway. Newest for reference cards, AFAIK. Get the bios, edit it in RBE for higher limits, and you're all set. If you've changed cooling, up the volts too...1.225 is fine if you have good cooling.

mastrdrver · Sep 11, 2010

Quick question that I didn't think abut to ask but have you ran across any XFX bios that is better for overclocking? Mine seems to scale pretty poorly with voltage (the one that works right). Needs something like 1.3v to do ~1ghz core.

edit: Just in case anyone was looking for an aftermarket cooler.....

Newegg now lists the VF3000A for ~$45 after shipping.

Alot of people seem to like the ASUS bios the best, but this is probably due to the high CCC limits.

I think temps might be a limiting factor if that's the case. Don't forget silicon is a semi-conductor, and it's electrical properties change with temperature.
