Got to flash these cards and get some proper cooling...just a test.

Grnfinger · Jan 21, 2011

looking good

I put mine under water and have very good load temps now, that 850MHz run with new bios flash?

No, this is the second card I was waiting on. It seems to be more civil than the first one.

Mydog · Jan 21, 2011

Anyone here got higher than 1000MHz on the GPU's, my card runs fine at 1000/1300 1,25 vcore but cant set the GPU's over 1000MHZ unless I get a bios that allows it.

Grnfinger · Jan 21, 2011

no not here 975 is my limit so far, but I hope to try past 1000 this weekend

t_ski · Jan 21, 2011

I was thinking there was some kind of trick needed with using Sapphire's Reline OC tool to up the voltage to get it higher. Or maybe that was the ram, IDK...

Mydog · Jan 21, 2011

There's a limit at 1000MHz on the GPU's and it can't be changed with RBE or I've not been able to do it at least. I've searched hi and low to see if anyone has gone past 1k but came up with zip.

This is what I can do for now.

Grnfinger · Jan 21, 2011

jeebus man, nice score

MetalRacer · Jan 22, 2011

Heres a QuadFire run @1.212 volts.

Grnfinger · Jan 22, 2011

and I was all impressed with my 31K

Nothing wrong with 31K . :toast:

Well I have had to add a dedicated 550w PSU for one of the 5970's due to shut downs when overclocking with more than 1.212 volts.

hey ppl am currently running benchmark so i can also post mines up here. i was wondering simple question when benchmarking i have 1920 by 1200 resolution, when doing a performance run on either 3dmark or heaven do we run at 1280 by 1024 or whats is the appropriate resolution when benchmarking on when it come to performance mode

Grnfinger · Feb 10, 2011

3dmark is 1280x1024
Heaven DX11 is 1680x1050

Have any of you given the new 11.2 drivers a try? What do you think?

im not using the 5970 anymore :eek:

t_ski · Feb 18, 2011

Ah, OK. Anybody else then?

Deleted member 74752 · Feb 18, 2011

I'll give them a go on my 5970 when I get back to it. Currently using the 10.9's...

OK this might sound funny but I've reverted to older drivers. Very old... 10.1 to be precise!

I had been running 10.10e, then I installed the Sims 3 and the game wouldn't load no matter how many game-related fixes I tried - the sound would start looping, then everything would freeze either with the loading game on the monitor or with a black monitor. Ctrl-Alt-Del wouldn't work and I'd have to hard-reboot my machine.

I updated to the latest drivers (thinking they would correct the problem, but they didn't...) and worked back from there. Interestingly enough the game worked fine with 10.1 and previous drivers (9.x etc...)

While happy I had that particular game running, I also played Fallout New Vegas while on the same old 10.1 driver. Now FNV had been giving me problems. The game used to run fine but while using VATS (it's kinda zooming in while shooting) my fps had started dropping to 1 or 2. Imagine getting 1 fps in an rpg shooter using a 5970... :banghead:

I had originally given fault to the latest game patch.

BUT - running Fallout New Vegas on the old 10.1 driver resulted in a flawless game :eek:

-- vsync'd always 60 fps occasionally dropping to 55, whether I'm in the VATS zooming mode or not.

Since FNV is my favourite game (and I haven't finished it yet) I'm not going to try any new drivers -- if it works don't try to fix it lol :laugh:

I hear the 10.9 driver is strong. Also the latest driver has added fixes to the 5 series cards with added bonus mmla and such.

I was having problems gaming last night with black screen of death every 5min or so of gaming. I thought it was the latest driver but turned out i had the cpu voltage a tad to low.

I just got home while running Mark11 in loop mode in Xtreme mode. 3 hours and no problems now.. I guess mark11 is more intence then most games so I guess im safe now.

Kovoet · Feb 18, 2011

Been using the 10.9 driver since it came out and not any problems with it whatsoever, best of the lot so far I think

Deleted member 74752 · Feb 19, 2011

Can someone direct me to the thread about flashing these cards? I'm ready to attempt it...

EDIT: Found it! Sapphire 5970 owners *all is fixed*

Black Panther · Feb 20, 2011

Can 5970 owners have a look at my problem here please?

Even if you haven't flashed your card, I'd like to know if you have identical bioses for each GPU or not...

Thanks!

The 11.2 drivers seem solid so far plus they gave me a 1300+ point increase in Vantage.
