actually that at 27k was the best ran it a ferw times others were like 26967 tho so basicly still a big jump imo

loving them, and even more so loving them seeing that the 6870's only get 30k with a i7. going to do a full bench now.

Here you go NY looks nice if you ask me tbh!! little bit of tweaking since last time.

This is with the gpu's at stock so maybe up to 1000 core and pull a little more plus the cpu will run at 4.2 so going to try that tonight as im in the mood and re bench

I don't have vantage activated properly so it won't work, but I could run 3dmark06 with my 965 and 2x4890 easily enough. Gimme a few.;)

Fortunately they still work. Recently benched @ 998/1097 with my 1090T on LN2........it was a waste of time except 4.7 points in 3dmark03...need an Intel. I need some other cards though. 2x green would be good......I have some sli boards. No money for cards now though without selling a couple DFI LP UT nF4s. Not a huge demand for them unless they are dirt cheap.;)

thats true. when I ran my 4890s everyone said 5770's overclocked are only barely beaten by 4890s overclocked, well thats not true at all. my next gpu upgrade is going to probably be 560's.

I can't seem to overclock my cards.
When I use Afterburner it just locks or bsod.I enabled unofical ocing is when it locks.
I have one card that is unlocked and can overclock in ccc but the other is locked to 775/1125 in ccc.
Do I need to put the unlocked card on the top?

Try installing one at a time and see if it overclocks. Try swapping spots. Try only using Afterburner and leave CCC closed, no need for it once you initially set things.

They are both reference cards.
I had the xfx card to 970/1200 before I got the sapphire card.
The sapphire card has an msi unlocked bios in it and clocks very good.

So they overclock individually then, must be just picky drivers. CFX is a pain in the ass sometimes. I usually end up installing 1 card then installing the 2nd one drivers and all again.

Never had BSODs relating to this though.

Do you have "synchronize similar gpus" checked" and "unlock voltage control etc"......

we share the same problem. Also ontop of that - Once in crossfire. you can no longer use Afterburner to set fan speeds.

the only thing you can really do is test put one card in at a time, test and overclock them - and when you finally get through finding the most stable clock speed of each one - just use RBE and sync them up. it might not be the best or the quickest way to go about it but I works.

I miss changing the fan speeds though. once you're above CCC overdrive limits you cant adjust fan speed either. but if your case is well ventilated - even with the cards stock fan profile should be fairly sufficient

that is exactly what I meant, my 4890's stomped these 5770's even with the slower memory. I think its due to the 128bit interface on the 5770, if it was full 256 they would be faster much faster.

I had to edit the cfg file, where most people say to enable unoffical overclocking, I had to set it to disable, in order for my pc not to freeze while using msi afterburner
