5870 test
 

Just got a hold of 3 of the Asus cards..Demo stuff..My pockets are not that deep...These are the best made and looking big cards i have ever seen..Don't have to worry about these bending on ya in a case even at 11 inches long..It seems all cards have there Futuremark test they like the best...I haven't tweaked the cards at all..Just wanted to see how they would run....Beat my 3D03 score with 2 4870x2's maxed at 4.600...Will try more things later...

Excellent! :D
blow up some benches bro.

These really are a major improvement as far as sound and temps over the 4870x2..Took 1 out and ran 2 for 3D06...2 of these beat my top
x2 and I havent choked the cards at all...Not really sure about tweaking the voltage but will figure it out...Kal? This is at 4.5

still running cards stock..Beat my 3D05 score with 2 of the 5870's.....Better than 2 of the 4870x2's...ran these at 4.600 with ease....Must try the voltage tweak and could use some advice before i blow these pretty things up...

Very nice Lakeside, I would love to get my hands on a few of those! Where are those heading once your done? They would do real well with my W3520 in front of em @ 5GHz.....one can dream. :alien:

Actually sending 2 of these to a friend at the forum..I am assured the 5890 will come after fermi...With the new bots ruling I will wait on those.I also can't fit the 5970 in my case..These just fit...Do you run that 5.0 on H20??? Just wondering...I can't get over 4.625...It could be me!!!!:ohcrap:

Nah bro, SS. When I had my 920 on water, I was limited to 4.65 as well.

very nice runs bro :ohcrap:

got the big guns.... tahts what i need are gpus

Thanks bro, I am really just a beginner.. 1 year old OCer..But I like to learn and I'm not scared...Maybe thats not such a good combo!!!:laughing:

FYI, the latest afterburner version has the ability to remove the ccc clock limits. I haven't used the latest version yet but the info is out there.

I'll dig up my screenshots with the old afterburner open and showing the settings and post it here when i get back from work.

:cool3:

Thanks bro...I will copy your stuff and run with it...for sure...

I can see now I want a classy...Going to be like learning all over again but that's half the fun...which one will work the best on H20....I can get the asus stuff at discount so i might as well spend on a classy...Now to decide what gpu's to run with it.....

Ran 3D03 with 2 of the 5870's..Just 2000 under my score with 2 4870x2 tops..Still no GPU tweaks...I must get better!!!!!!

Tryed 1 5870 with 3D05..Kinda weak..But still just 500 points less than my 4870x2....This is still with stock 5870..Can you tell nothing embarrasses me????;)
On a side note..I am truly colored blind..all Black white and grays..Something is different...It is brighter..and i can't find the forum index...Kinda strange a guy that is colored blind that likes 3D colored graphics??? I can tell when they are good even with the Black and White..Must have something to do with Kal's top statement...

Okay enough of the stock clock bugga boo. Start OCing :)

OK!!!! 3D05
Raised the core and memory to 925/1255...The voltage tweak doesn't seem to do much..Maybe it's me!!!
I did also raise the CPU OC to 4.650..A big Thanks to 69_Goat for giving me some pointers on how to get more out of the P6T7..You were spot on...Never had it to 4.650 before...
Really wish I had talked to you before sending 2 of these to Canada...

Your welcome, LS. Glad to help out where I can.
If you go over to i4memory.com, EVA2000 is posting lots of info for OC'ing a w3570 on an ASUS P6T6 board, a very similar setup to what you have. He also posts lots of info for mem tweaking including all the sub timings.
For this 5870, you might want to try the new MSI Afterburner app. I've heard of good results with it, not only for these cards, but past gen cards as well.

Thanks..I will look at the MSI program..I am a member of I4 and once on there BOTS team..EVA knows his ram..But don't sell yourself short..You showed me a couple of things that really made a difference...I printed your thoughts and they work!!!:clapping:
I really like this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 rep for 69_Goat :thumbsup: Way to help out buddy. Great job!!


Lakeside, those are some nice scores your pumping out :eek::thumbsup: How hot is that CPU running at 1.5+vcore? Might need to put that one under sub-zero. Might have a leaky one there :thumbsup:

heh heh He has a GTX it can handle the heat :)

Thanks bro, Neuro is right..The GTX is totally for the cpu and seems to handle it..3.9 or 4.0 24/7.. 30 ish or low 60's with full LinX...
The 343b also helps..All the sides come off when benching...Goat really came up with some things I needed to know...Great site..There is still a few that will help a newb out.....

Heres the screenys I could dig up broski HIH:

Here is the thread I was following at Guru about msi afterburner.

Man, you are really kickin it with that afterburner program..Big difference with the single card 3d06 and 03....I have a problem with my Vantage program...

Wish I spent more time on it but thats getting fixed ;)

Finally got the Vantage program fixed...Nothing like Kal with no voltage tweak but with one 5870 I beat all my 4870x2 cards including the top by 500 points at 4475...Haven't pushed it hard yet..One tuff single GPU card at 910/1240

Are you using the msi afterburner yet?
I'm sure you'll pinch up the voltage soon enough, its innevitable lol. :D

Killer scores btw :good:

Not Yet, Can you just get there software off there site?? I am probably going to copy you..Hope you don't mind...I've been known to do that..I can't help it..It's a newb thing I know but it works so well!!!:clapping:

Here is the DL link:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/MSI-Afte...load-2410.html

As with all OVERCLOCKING "Use at your own risk"
 

1. Go to installed directory of MSI Afterburner, default: C:\Program file\MSI Afterburner
2. Use notepad to edit “MSIAfterburner.cfg”
3. Change the parameter of “EnableUnofficialOverclocking” from “0” to “1”.

Attachment 999Direct from MSI
Sometimes GURU3D adds junk files and google bars to their shit.

Dunno about the new cards, the new afterburner limited me to 1.35 Volts. I use riva with config and Volterra plugin to jam up to 1.45v through my 4890 :), then Afterburner for OCing.

Oh and when ever I make an adjustment to Core/mem I have to adjust fan speed too or it drops back to "stock" (still reads whatever I had set it to previously)

I am going to load the MSI today..I did load the new GPU-Z and it finally shows the speed I have on the card...940/1265..No voltage yet but I'm getting there!!!:shock:

http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/19024.png

Nice :D

Downloaded the MSI software and it is easier to use and more effective than asus's...
First try with 3D06 and running 4.525 thanks to the 69_goat's OCing advice!!

I couldn't stand DrMos or whatever the Asus software was called.

Msi
 

Not only does the MSI program help with voltage tweak but allows a larger core and memory clock than the ATI CCC or the Asus program... 1005/1311

I caught Kal!!!!

http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/19852.png

Yep and with less gpu clocks too. Good Job!

You were right about the MSI..BIG difference!!! Should of held on to the other cards longer!!!! I can't catch you in 03 and 06 and I can't figure how you are doing it at 4.5...But I am getting better..

Can you get the core higher?

Here is another score for you to beat.
MB - R2E
Single 5870 @ 1060 GPU 1050 MEM.
CPU 191.5 x 21 = 4021Mhz
RAM 1522 8-8-8-21-1T tRFC60

Link 20,511

Prolly because you are on Windows 7 would be my guess. Get you some XP action and watch your score jump.
