if you can then try that sapphire card by itself, if it still fucks up then i think there is something wrong with it

simple get a flash drive get ati flash use the *random brand here* bios both cards will appear to be the same blah blah blah then use afterburner blah blah problem solved i had a metric shit ton of trouble overclocking my 5850s but... after flashing the same bios to both cards i can now happily overclock without issue

do not do this, I repeat do not do this!! his xfx is non refrence that will kill the sapphire because it will not be able to read the voltage registers therefore will get no vltage or incorrect voltage at least. I have found the problem and will post some screenshots in a second to what it is.

overclocking101 · Apr 24, 2010

here its all in the screenshots. click on them this to me at least, explains his artifacts when not using afterburner because afterburner overides things at a bios level. and now powerplay is gone, and the clocks should sync together niceley.

ny_driver · Apr 25, 2010

well, I tried it with the sapphire in slot 1 again and although I had to reinstall the drivers now both cards are clocking up to 850 together when I run 3d mark06. I haven't seen any flickering, but I know I will when I overclock.

(FIH) The Don · Apr 25, 2010

are you still using one cf bridge?

if so then try again when you get the ones i send you, might be because problems with the cf bridges

ny_driver · Apr 25, 2010

yup, just the one bridge. maybe using 2 will improve things, I'll definitely experiment once I have the 2 bridges. hey thanks again, too. :toast:

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 25, 2010

amd / ati state themselves to always use 2 crossfire bridges 2 wont hurt anything and usually they help

i had problems with my 2 5770s when i used 2 bridges, but i guess that its different from setup to setup.

lets hope its just that then

hope you get them in a few days, and np, glad to help a little

Ever since I got my first 5770 I have had lines going up my screen horizontally. Not very visible, but if you look carefully you can see it. have no idea what it can be

i thought i read that was fixed in drivers?

I thought I did somewhere too, but I just installed fresh drivers today when I received my 2nd 5770. I've tried different cards one at a time, same thing. Never had that issue with previous cards like my GX2, c/f 4850's. Only since I got my first 5770.

ny_driver · Apr 26, 2010

Well, I've got my 2x4890s working good now with the sapphire reference version in slot 1. I just overclocked them to 901/1000 from 850/975 and ran 3dmark 2 times and both times my score was slightly lower(~100 points) than my best scores @ 850/975. This seems pretty strange to me. What do you guys think? I'm sure crossfire is enabled and I have no other programs running. :confused:

EDIT: I can't believe I gain nothing from overclocking my cards

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 26, 2010

its your CPU trust me my 940be at 3.4ghz cant feed my 5850s in certain games example crysis i max at 45fps no matter what and even at 1920x1200 4xAA gpu usage only hits 55-60% each when overclocked and 65-70% each not overclocked. if i drop my cpu to stock 3ghz gpu load drops again my quad just cant feed them fast enough in apps that dont use all 4 cores.

ny_driver · Apr 26, 2010

Do you suppose I'd actually get lower FPS in games overclocked, along with the lower 3dmark score? That's kinda shitty. What about newer games even like Dirt2?
EDIT: I tried running the cards overclocked with amd fusion going and the score went up.....a little. 12,472 now, but I know my cards will go higher than 901/1000 although it may only make very small if any difference. I'll try

ny_driver · Apr 26, 2010

Yeah hey sorry for double posting, but this is important. I can't get the GPU Tool installation to run. GPU Clock tool does not run either and ATI tray tool will not change the clocks.

Would someone whos running xp pro please zip up their GPU Tool installation folder and send it to me at klingerd@twcny.rr.com. I think copying it in to my computer may work. Thanks....I know no one is running xp anymore.

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 26, 2010

ah your on xp....... that might kinda explain a bit..... sorry :banghead:

ny_driver · Apr 26, 2010

Afterburner should have the ability to test the card, not just overclock it.

ny_driver · Apr 26, 2010

More troubled waters...............Now I can't get catalyst control center to install.....and have no way to enable crossfire. The display drivers install, but no CCC. And when I tried to manually launch CCC it was telling me it couldn't find CLI.exe, so I located it and now it tells me some dependency is missing or something. What a mess. I think I'm going to put the xp cd in there and try to do a repair. The system has been acting up, and by that I mean booting very slow, since I tried the "auto-tune' option in CCC and the system locked up when core got too high. I don't like it. I just can't get GPU-Tool to install, or anything that tests video cards so I was trying that. I expected it would lock up when it got too high. :banghead:

BUMP....on the gpu-tool installation folder.

sounds like you need to get off XP.

crazyeyesreaper · Apr 26, 2010

100% agree there is no longer any reason to hang onto xp anymore this isnt the 8800 / 2900 days where dx10 performance was 100% unplayable today things are different and XP at 10 years old is old as dirt and needs to be taken out to pasture and shot :roll:

its time to put the bloated thing to rest just .... dont ask me to do it just look at those eyes to the left you dont want me trying to aim and do the job :roll:

ny_driver · Apr 26, 2010

Yeah, real helpful thanks. I am currently considering a different OS, but that is not going to happen right away. I need to get this thing working correctly.....man I had it working well until I used that stupid "auto-tune". If I have to reformat my HD today I will. :pimp:

when you format... install 7.

You know you want to.

lol.....I do, too! I don't have it though, how cheap can I get it?

EDIT:

$220 for 7 Ultimate Upgrade. I am tempted, but I just bought the Swiftech H20-220 Ultima XT liquid cooling kit this morning. EDIT: and then if I did that I'd really have to get a new LCD monitor.

Is it even worth the extra $100 to have Ultimate over Home Premium?

cadaveca · Apr 26, 2010

You need .net framework software.

there are otherways of getting Win7 ultimate & not having to pay a single penny to obtain it - of course you'd have to wear an eye patch afterwards & have a humble deckhand by the name of Smee. but if your willing to walk that path - then its awesome. mines still working great.
