I'm back down to 1 card again:shadedshu Hopefully not for long.

I have to RMA this ASUS now...it's just not acting right, crashing my system well below max clocks. :banghead:I think it's the memory. It got insanely hot today, too and then crashed. In GPUZ core was @ 80c+ and the memory readings were all well in excess of 100c, too hot to touch for more than a quick second.

I called up ASUS and they said send it in. They asked for the serial number, my address, and a brief description of the problem. I hope they send me a new 4890.

EDIT: good news is my CPU and Memory will be here tomorrow.

ouch, that sucks bro, i hate RMA'ing stuff, and now it happened to both your cards :banghead: kinda annoying imo
hope its overquick though and that they send you one of their high end 4890:D

Well since I have owned Crossfire setup's since the X1650 era.... I figure I should get in on this. All opinions are welcome on my rig. I apologize for the Shitty picture quality but I have an older digital camera.

GPU2: Sapphire ATI HD5850 1GB @Stock but capable of 800/1175 (Still testing)
PSU: Corsair 850HX Modular
Case: Cooler Master Sniper - Black Edition
CPU Cooling: Corsair H50 Water Cooler
HDD's: Western Digital 2x 500Gig Black Carver Raid 0

o_O very nice rig there bro, you should be able to go higher on the core, but then again, its 2 different cards, so they might attack each other when you try it haha


oh boy, im joining my own club again soon, just got a 5770 HIS card with fullcover EK block, should be getting another within a month :rockout:

sorry for the quality, celly pic

I a fairly sure I will be able to go higher as well.... although I am just trying to figure out what would be my best option for doing so.

Right now I am considering two different options.

1st one is to do a hack on MSI Afterburner and take control of a file that will allow me to by pass the CCC limit.

2nd option is Flash my reference card with an unlocked BIOS and my Sapphire non reference card with the Sapphire Toxic BIOS. I should be abel to do that because from what I understand both cards use the same PCB (The toxic and regular 1gb Sapphire cards)

While the first option Is not permanent.... I think it might be safer.

So I will probably go with that one.

Thanks for the compliment though bro. :toast:

Flash your cards man, it's sooo much easier. Just do one at a time with just one card in using AtiFlash in DOS. I love running my cards at 950/1200.

I really am considering.... I just honestly have ever flashed cards before. I just tried the Hack on MSI afterburner to take owner ship of a file so I can clock past the CCC limit.

But that way doesn't seem to like Crossfire very much. It makes my screen freeze up then and I have to reboot.

So flashing looks like my only option.

It's not that bad is it? Also you think a 1GB thumb drive is big enough to do. Otherwise the only other external drive I have right now is a 250GB WD Pocket drive. Sice that is a real Hard drive I don't trust doing it with that as much.

That's a very nice increase.... that is almost like having a couple of 5870's in your case.

You guys have talked me into to it. I think I might return the Sapphire non reference card (because still with in it's 30 days) For a reference card( That way safer to flash it) then flash the cards.

I wouldn't mind running them at 850 or 950 core clock :)

well if you have 2 of the same cards you have better chance of running higher speeds on them without hickups, but thats just imo

Well I heard that too..... The way I understand it is..... all reference cards are the same. The companies just put their stickers on it to make it theirs. Originally they are all made from ATI is that correct?

Because if that is the case..... then if I get another Reference card..... it wouldn't matter if it is Sapphire/HIS/ATI OEM/XFX/ Exc....

i think thats the case,

allthough i heard that MSI uses better components, so i reallt dont know if its all true

i just think its the design that ATI made, then the companies can use what memory chips, v chips etc they want

I didn't think of it that way. That is very plausible too. Either way though.... if they are the same PCB design.... then you flash with the same BIOS. It should make it pretty close to the same card.

***Umm not really*** After thought........ Because if MSI and other companies really use better components. Technically you should be able to clock them higher then others .... regardless of what BIOS you use. But still the same BIOS would help out some what. <----- BTW sorry was talking to myself. I tend to do that LOL

Thanks for your help bud. :toast:

if its reference its reference. its 100% the same as ATI's specs in all ways.


if its non reference it can be better or worse than reference... usually worse, at a higher price tag.

For some of you who don't like 10.6 cats. These are the best CrossFire drivers I've used for my setup. They are no longer available (I couldn't find them anyways) on AMD's site. I've uploaded them and here they are. Catalyst 10.4a http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XOOKP0NS

Also make sure to uninstall all instances of Microsoft Visual C++ from the Control Panel. For CrossFire I would use Catalyst 10.4a's, they have been great. I uploaded them here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XOOKP0NS

Once the new drivers are installed, you may want to install Microsoft Visual C++ from Microsoft, but in most cases when you launch a game (with Steam for example) it will automatically install.

Also make sure to uninstall all instances of Microsoft Visual C++ from the Control Panel. For CrossFire I would use Catalyst 10.4a's, they have been great. I uploaded them here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XOOKP0NS

Once the new drivers are installed, you may want to install Microsoft Visual C++ from Microsoft, but in most cases when you launch a game (with Steam for example) it will automatically install.

you mind me implementing that with linky's in #0?

Isn't she beautiful? Just got her today, gonna strip her down and put a sexy waterblock on. ;)

Going back to Crossfire today, for the first time on my new system. :toast:

Pictures later today.:pimp:

Still waiting for sapphire to send me an RMA# for my other sapphire :wtf: it should be instant after submitting proof of purchase. I think Tri-Fire is going to be completely unnecessary, but I'll still give it a shot.

FPS is already nuckin' futs with a single 4890 in there.
