Thought you were doing well with temps and Oc @950/1300
keep us upto date with the Clocks. Both of them Thought you were doing well with temps and Oc @950/1300
Hehe.
How do you sort your voltages on your card mate? XFX overvolt run at startup?

apologies if I'm being a total tool here.
In GpuZ it says that ATI Crossfire is enabled. Which is cool. But I can't seem to find any option in CCC that actually lets me enable it. Does this mean its automatically enabled? if i were to disable it, how would i do it?
Also, in ATI Overdrive, I'm guessing I would need to set the clocks for both GPU's? Just wanted to make sure. Cause when i click on the dropdown box for 'select GPU to configure' I do indeed get 2 options. But on one of them, all of my monitors are connected to it. Is it normal?

CAT A.I should be on standard for CF & not advanced.
Problems may occur in games in the advanced setting.
If CF is only working when in advanced A.I setting then there are other issues involved.
Any joy at them clocks?
Crashed @ 1000/1350
Grrr.
Will have to try again later. Gotta clean the house a little at the moment.

Dont have the same res. i have only run 1280x1024 that was 90.4 2276 and 5760x1080 32.5 818. Heaven Benchmark is not the best to run to many variables. Run Vantage and a game(Dirt or BFBC). I can get silly clocks but once you start to play games it all goes wrong
This is 960/1300 CPU@4Ghz

Will try to ring a friend for some help in the meantime!I have never trusted this test. Look at your max FPS to mine! Just doesnt work out. You have better CPU(They say it doesnt matter but must do a little ) and better GPU clocks. But saying that i have found once you get to the max it starts to bottle neck.
Not 100% without finding my paper work but the best vantage scores were with settings 1000/1200 something around there.

From reading the first page of this thread, then trying a google search for XFX 5970 black edition. Simple
I'm still not paying that much for one though.
Danny I forgot to ask. What voltage are you on? I've sent XFX a ticket for them to advise on the best voltage and max voltage. They have yet to come back with an answer. Im most certain that one could overclock the Black Edition to a 1000,1300 (water). But i'm not convinced that the 1000ghz core clock [stable] is achiveable with the max voltage of 1.1625 on the XFX overvolt tool. Our waterblocks can surely handle the heat.
sam
Hows ur temps matey? At your max stable overclock ?
Hey Dipz!
Apologies I crashed last night from the PC and I had to sleep..
but at 950/1300 I was @ 53 degrees.
Voltage - 1.1625
I might actually keep it at that depending on what XFX comes back with. Was doing some reading and some peeps that have it at 1k need a 1.3V to keep it stable apparently. i'm not sure if its worth all that trouble and I can't get a definitive answer if 1.3V is indeed a safe overvolt. Some say it is but I can't find anything official on a review site regarding the 1.3 Volting.
GRR
Should be sorted soon!
Hows yours doing mate and what are your temps?

Sometimes the overvolt isn't worth the performance increase tbh. Overvolting will always shorten a components life!!.
Tbh mate, i'm happy with my 775 / 1150, because im ordering another 5970 within the next day, dont need to overclock mine too mad
