tell them when you got it from rma thats how it was

ny_driver · Sep 11, 2010

I've had it like a week, maybe more though, but I didn't tell them I got it or anything. I could try that, but that would be 2 cards in a row they sent me that were bad out of the box. WTF?

Mindweaver · Sep 11, 2010

hey guys I'm having a hell of a time overclocking my 5850 toxic's... I can over clock the 1st card no problem.. but when i try the second card it says, "SetClock failed! Please check device configuration.".

Do I need to pull one card and find it's overclock. Then use rbe to flash the bio's then do the same for the other card?

EDIT: Using AMD GPU Clock Tool.

ny_driver · Sep 11, 2010

Try MSI Afterburner.

crazyeyesreaper · Sep 11, 2010

use afterburner instead it will sync the clocks for both gpus much easier to overclock that way

Hey guys i would love to use afterburner. It's just like EVGA's precision, but every time I try to set/apply the new clocks.. It resets back to 765 default clocks... The amd gpu clock tool lets me change the 1st cards settings great.. just not the 2nd card... i'm about ready to pencil mod the hell out of this 2nd card with a no2 pencil spiked through the center of it's GPU... :banghead:

EDIT: Oh and I've also tried changing the setting "EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 0" in the MSIAfterburner.cfg file to 1, but after restarting when ever afterburner loads my system freezes.. and i have to restart into safemode and change it back to 0..

ny_driver · Sep 11, 2010

Usually when it changes the clocks back it's because crossfire is not enabled either because the drivers didn't take on one card or not enabled in CCC, at least for me.

Mindweaver · Sep 12, 2010

Nope, Crossfire is enabled and drivers are installed. CFX works, Afterburner shows both cards being used.

UGGGGHHHHH>>>>the flucking fricking fracking insanity these 4890s are causing me!!!!!!!!!

I decided to sell off the ASUS card so I could by an LN2 pot for the cpu, which is another story altogether , but anyways I have 2x 4890 OC Editions by Sapphire left and I'm very happy .............I think.............until I shut down for a half hour last night..............now the card that was in #1 slot won't put anything to the screen regardless of what slot I stick it in.

Listen to this though....if I hook the monitor to the bad card the computer boots right up to my desktop, judging by the sound and stuff,....but nothing to the screen. And when i try CFX with the bad card as #2 windows/gpuz/afterburner only sees 1 card installed.

I can't believe this shit...Sapphire is going to be questioning me and I didn't do shit to it......it worked fine, so I thought, in tri-fire and then again in CFX with the air cooler re-installed.....and now it's dead....any suggestions?

maybe its for the best you just dont use those cards lol

there seem to be a curse over you and 4890s lol :banghead:

what version of afterburner are you using?

ny_driver · Sep 12, 2010

If only I didn't bend the one I bought from overclocking101 I wouldn't be having any of these problems. I got 1 bad replacement out of the box and this one dies after a week of underclocked use.

1 card is just as good or BETTER than 2 or 3 anyways except in benchmarks. I'm only speaking from the experience of a couple racing games though, I'm sure CFX improves some games.

Now I just have the 1 Sapphire OC Edition with the EK FC4890CF Special Edition block on it with the loop making 1 pass through my chiller. The card idles @ ~ 25C and the MVDDC phase temps are 47/50C. This block rocks :rockout:

With 1 card I can put it in the bottom 16x slot and it clears out a lot of room for me to play with cold stuff. :laugh:

Here are a couple pics for ya. The one shows 0 F @ the base of the cpu block before starting the computer...now it shows 2 F after running computer awhile.....it's all about the cold for me now. :pimp:

The othe just shows the loop with poor lighting I'm sure.

I was using 1.6.1... I just updated to 2.0 the latest version. the new version seems to keep the overclock, but it has the same cap as CCC of 775mhz... :banghead:

I'll try and change the cfg file and see it it lets me load afterburner after restart. I'll post back. :toast:

Crossfire Vapor-X 5870s, the COOLER card throttles???

I have a pair of Vapor-X 5870's in a Corsair 800D case. There on an ASUS P6X58D Premium MB. Running FurMark 1.8 in Stability test. After several minutes the TOP / Primary card will hit 91/92C. When it does, the BOTTOM card (which runs at 63C) will throttle. Basically MSI Afterburner indicates the GPU load on card #2 drops to near 0% load. After a couple seconds, the load goes back to 98% on the bottom card. This continues until temp on the TOP card drops to 90C.
NOTE: the GPU load on the top fan never changes always 99%...
NOTE: Fan on top card never exceeds 74% at any time....

Is this part of the ATI 10.8 drivers??? (or something to do with the BIOS on the Vapor-X cards?)

the OCing caps are part of your BIOS limits. you gotta mod/replace the bios to up the limits.

he should try and edit the cfg file first, thats the easiest thing to do

so lets see how that goes

if you use the software edits/tweaks, it breaks idle on the cards - they run at full 3D all the time.

Mindweaver · Sep 13, 2010

I tried changing the setting in the afterburner.cfg file and it still freezes my system when afterburner loads.. I'll go the bio's route.. :toast:

You needs to do the "EnableUPLS" registry mod.

crazyeyesreaper · Sep 13, 2010

well depending on a certain forum member around here i might be going single card soon altho ill be back with 6800 series xfire if all goes right

You haven't filled out your system specs, so I'm gonna go out on limb here and say you ahve an ASUS motherboard?....

If so, you are wrong in thinking which card is which. Bottom card is "PRIMARY" adapter, top card is slave. Yes, it's backwards, but blame ASUS.

Thanks I'll try it out! :toast:

WOW that worked great! :respect:

You were a little off on the spelling, but put me in the right direction! :respect:

It's "EnableUlps".

Steps to take for anyone else with the same problem:
Search the registry for "EnableUlps" then modify the key from 1 to 0 Per erockers reply to an earlier thread here. Then restart.

Then I modified the MSI Afterburner file MSIAfterburner.cfg. Changing EnableUnofficialOverclocking from 0 to 1. Save file then restart MSI Afterburner.

Thanks again cadaveca! :toast:

cadaveca · Sep 14, 2010

Yeah, that was a typo.

Basically any program that has gpu sensor monitoring that freezes the system(everest, afterburner, etc), need this registry tweak. It's been like that for a long time now.
