Problem OCing 5870

[rickss69]

Sapphire Radeon HD 5870
Cat 10.3
Extreme Afterburner

Can go no higher than about 1000/1301 at 1.33 volts. Tried Rev's suggestion of lowering mem but still no go. Every time I try to bump it up in Afterburner it just reverts back to default settings or bluescreens.

What is the GPU temps .... That has to be what is holding it back ....

Showing 44 right now at 1000/1301

Do you have both these checked in the settings?
1972

[Witchdoctor]

That does not seem that high ???

[ocgmj]

Switch drivers yet?

[rickss69]

Yes, they are both checked OC. What driver should I try?

[ocgmj]

To try and find if the drivers are the problem I would start at 9.12. I had a problem getting 10.3 drivers and AB-E to run with my Gigabyte card. Switched to 9.12 and worked fine. That was just my experience tho.

[Witchdoctor]

Try AB 1.4 it worked with 10.3 beta's for me

Vantage and 06 are much better with the 10.3 for me

9.12 for everything else :thumbsup:

Seems that is just all this card has in it. No matter, not complaining as it is going in the gamer soon. :)

gpu temps are great. What temps are your VRMs running at? That was the limiting factor on my 4890

is this the reference design or the first revision at least?

[rickss69]

This is the card I got from Splave some time ago. I really don't know what "reference" is lol. Oh, congrats btw!
