The ATI 5970 + 5850/5870 Tri-Fire thread!

Cool setup rancid elf! Thinking of doing a similar with my rig. Where have you mounted your HDD?


I have my 4 solid state drives screwed to the side of the case. 2 on each side.

Please state what drivers you are using and what in game settings for this. I prefer to play BC2 on the 5970 only when using Eyefinity as it is smoother (I am using, max settings with 1xMSAA, HBAO on) - I am using the drivers noted below and found none to be any better and I have tried most if not all of em! Just need clarificaiton to see if I have missed out ...!

Driver Packaging Version 8.74-100406a-098262E-ATI
Catalyst™ Version 10.3
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1031
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0003
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0755
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9827
Catalyst™ Control Center Version 2010.0406.1919.32787

Yes you have missed out. There was a 10.4 & a 10.5 I believe its the 10.5 I used. My settings are all maxed with 4xMSAA, 8 x anistropic, HBAO off.
 

Thanks - D3D version in these is 8.14.10.0750 and mine have 8.14.10.0755 so mine are a later build (which could mean borked drivers of course :D ) ....

I have tried all the drivers I could and none of em was smooth enough for BC2 tri-fire Eyefinity IMHO even though there was apparent increase in measured FPS ... might be an issue elsewhere though. ATI should resolve this soon -- I hope :)
 
The by product of too much time and too much money! :p

im going to sort the 5870 ek back plate tomorow.
im having to use some electrical tape because the plate touches the back of the card where its raised a bit and i dont want a short..
i spend most my time on the computer so its just a hobby of mine.
 
here's mine

5970+5870 on one loop with a 120.3 with 6 fans, cpu/chipset on a loop with a 120.3 also but with 3 fans. all fans run off the cpu header via pwm, and powered by psu :)

clocked the cards at 950/1200, 1.2v

running eyefinity at a res of 6100x1200
 
Can confirm phoenixdancer that the leaked drivers pack 8.74 drivers 300 meg do work in xfire. and in eyefinty thank u ur a star.
here is my latest bench on water i7920 5970+5870 watercooled.
just shy of 35k ;) 38.5k gpu score ;) more to come

Depends what drivers you have. I have some leaked driverds which were posted on here about a month ago and eyefinity with tri-fire is working.

I have 3 x 24 inch screens and run res @ 5760 x 1200 and BC2 rocks. I get an average of about 100 fps with tri-fire eyefinity

the drivers your on about is it the 300 meg leaked pack 8.74.
 
@ last finaly broke the 35k barrier. on this hot summers day hit 35413.
Graphics Score 39540 just short of 40k. ;)
here is the link thx to phoenixdancer again for helping me achieve these scores.
more to come .

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=2205509

think i might stick a nvidia card in there as well for a improved score.

What OC do you have on your gpu's and what voltage you giving them?
 
kiss goodbye to those cards if you're putting 1.7v through them!

that's lunacy mate, sorry

EDIT: sort out your sig as well dazboots, maximum 4 lines as per faq
