Down from 24k to 22k in Vantage but I haven't clocked it yet.

Very quiet in operation, very surprising!

Drivers are pants but hey ho.. they will get better.

I have turned off the central heating as it cannot compete with this thing :)
 
Thanks guys! <ocd>I thought it was a bit messy</ocd> one x16 slot left for another one, after I have sold the other kidney.
 
Yeah ORB no workey.. for some reason it wont allow me to make the result public :(

Graphics card appears as Generic VGA.. lol
 
the second link isnt working deadman, sais the result is either set to private or has been deleted :)

have you used the voltage tool to get it back up to normal voltages by any chance? supposed to fly when its been unlocked :)

Looks like this is why I cannot make it viewable

"Validity

I am using the supplied Sapphire Cats which are 9.10's

I have not modded or clocked the card yet....
 
Installed the Sapphire HD5970 download version of their Redline utility and it says "Sorry, this tool is not supported on your graphics card"

Anyone else had this problem? I'm running Win7 x64 Home Premium
 
I used the AMD overvolt tool seems to work although still testing...

Weirdly the displayport will only output 640x480!
 
Any particular reason? Unstable? Perform badly?

Well where to start, they are "very beta" sometimes when I boot up I get a working desktop sometimes I do not.

Windows explorer seems to throw a wobbler and keeps restarting itself.

Aero turns off and windows changes to classic mode.

Quite a few times the screen goes black/red vertical lines for no apparent reason.

Very unstable for me at least.
 
To add to that you probably need to water cool it as well, the stock cooler is fine for moderate overclocking though.
