The HD 5970 Clubhouse

[Black Panther]

I just installed the 10.10e and the Open CL driver.

However when I open GPU-Z the Open CL box is still unticked......

What gives?

Install this from the Packages_apps folder. ATIStreamSDK_Dev_win764a
sorry I think I mixed up on the item to install... If that works then go un-install the ATIStreamSDK_Profiler

I'm late to the party but dayum I want to play

I love your setup! It's clean and kinda... bloody Humour apart, it's neato!

Are you running the 5970 @ 900/1100 at stock voltages?

 

[Grnfinger]

Thanks, I wish I had of sprayed the interior black, and I need to sleeve all my cables but I have most hidden well.
I'm running 1.175v VDDC 1.15v VDDCI for 900/1200
going to try 1.2v VDDC 1.15v VDDCI and shoot for 1000/1300
Spritedandy did it with the same bios profile so I'm hopeful it will work for me

I figured your volts to be about that. Nice rig by the way

My Sapphire runs 1000-1300 just by using Afterburner and on air
Well, sense the update bios straight from Sapphire

Thanks for the voltage info, for my standards your cabling is awesome. I did spray part of the inside of my case black, basically only the drive-cage though...

from this:

to this:

which made everything look a tiny bit better...

Yes, the black makes thinks more suttle with the side on. Looks better for sure!

My thanks to you for bringing the BIOS information this way, it has made my 5970 a killer card now. Before I had hard locks with no overclock now I blaze through everything with nice card clocks.

That 5970 looks HUGE in your mATX board
I love your case, you might have inspired me to get the interior done on mine

Im just glad it helped out so many ppl... My gpu was a tottal slacker before I did the flash.

Doing the inside does make a difference. For more inspiration, check out my work in progress:

Silverstone TJ07 build - t_ski style

I alwys wanted a TJ07, there hard to find in Canada
nice build btw /sub to that

11.1a ccc Hot fix, anybody get it working on our beastly gpu's?

I hear the 5870's are having good luck atm

 

[Deleted member 74752]

In need of a little assistance. My first encounter with dual gpu cards...I recently bought a used Saaphire 5970 2GB with an Accelro cooler already attached.

First off is a question about the fans. It seems I have no control over fan speed either in CCC or with Afterburner no matter what I tick in either utility. Next is the card does not want to accept hardly any overclock without crashing, and I can only do so in CCC. If I try in Afterburner it locks up instantly. Using 10.12 driver Win7 64 atm. Also have zero capability of using fan control in Afterburner.

Guess I need a little input before contacting the seller thru ebay. Kind of stumped here.

I noticed in the drop down tab one of the gpu's is not showing the driver correctly...how do I make this right? Possibility this is the evil culprit?

 

[Deleted member 74752]

This is horrible. Went backwards on the driver to 10.10 and 1.60 for Afterburner without much effect. I can do better with my 5870...

 

[Grnfinger]

Tough call on the fan issue... I ran mine on the stock cooling for a day and couldn't set the fans.
it was either at 50% or full blast so I blamed the drivers for the nonsense.

I too could not overclock worth a crap.. 800/1000 would hard lock and reboot the computer and my temps were decent for a stock cooler, even watching a movie with stock clocks I would hard lock or the screen would go black. So after much debate I took the plunge and flashed my card to the 900/1200 profile.. its stable all the way to 975/1300 b4 a voltage adjustment is required.
Screen flicker is gone, I hit over 250FPS in Lost Planet 2 ( bench test) and score just short of 40K in 3D05. I would back up your bios and flash the card you wont regret it, damn simple process and I'm not sure why I was so hesitant to do it, I flash motherboards without a second thought.
If the card still has issues after the flash I would contact the seller and start asking some questions.. how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

The updated Sapphire OC BIOS seems to cure a lot problems people are having with these cards so that might be fix to the problem. As far as drivers go I've had better over all perfomance with the 10.9.
I just picked up an XFX black edition 5970 to go along with my Asus 5970 and they are pretty much on par with each other.

 

[Grnfinger]

how come everyone has a 980X and I dont

Nice score btw, whats kinda volts are needed for a stable 1000MHz?

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Fact is I have another identical card enroute sans the aftermarket cooler, so I really want to resolve the issues. Perhaps when I see what the other card will do will answer some of my questions as well.

What about the Afterburner issue? Is it common with these cards to be unable to overclock with it and it not show/allow fan speeds?

I have flashed single gpu cards before...I believe there is a thread about doing so for these card here as well. I should be able to google the OC version bios, correct?

Thanks so much to all for the replies!

 

[Grnfinger]

there are 3 overclocked bios's in the thread for download
800/1100
900/1200
950/1200
and he has included the original Sapphire bios with no overclock iirc

 

[t_ski]

Nice score btw

I don't see a score, all I see is Denise staring at me...

I'm running @1.3 volts, I haven't tried 1000MHz at anything lower yet.

Both of my cards overclock well with Afterburner and the fan speed is also adjustable, CCC manual fan control also works well.
