*** Official 5850 Benchmark/Performance Thread ***

[magicroundabout]

place your benches etc in here so not to mess up the other thread.

 

[Mr Paul]

Overclocks too with voltage increase would be nice

 

[craig3000]

Techpowerup hit 1GHZ with HIS 5850 using a voltage raise

 

[RavenXXX2]

At 835/1260 you are only a few frames behind a 5870, I feel sick still, I love my 5870.

 

[Tolmekian]

Just done a vantage atm, everything is at stock and in my sig -

 

[Jabbs]

Done a quick test not really sure why my cpu is so poor though its a Q6600@3 gig i only used a trial account one.

CPU 10529
GPU 13393

I need to find a good oveclocking thread tbh using a P35 DS3L board.

 

[magicroundabout]

get that Q6600 clocked to 3.4 or 3.6 and you'll notice a massive difference

 

[Jabbs]

Thats what i am trying to learn to do but i not done much oveclocking.

 

[magicroundabout]

ah no worries.

someone in the overclocking/cooling section will help you get her stable.

need a decent cooler for it too

5850 @ stock

3DMark Score 18544
SM 2.0 Score 7830
SM 3.0 Score 9363
CPU Score 4174

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=12146793

2 4850 in crossfire

3DMark Score 19182
SM 2.0 Score 7857
SM 3.0 Score 10176
CPU Score 4160

hope new drivers helps

 

[magicroundabout]

thats a good score. my 4870's in crossfire (overclocked) got me 27k.

my single 5870 stock hits 25500. not bad at all for a single gpu

 

[gareth170]

what program to use to increase the voltage??

 

[Jabbs]

ah no worries.

I already got a Zalman cooler on it one of those there so will post in the overclocking section.

[Mr Paul]

what program to use to increase the voltage??

That MSI one doing the rounds

 

[gareth170]

That MSI one doing the rounds

thanks

it works. whats the safe voltage for theses??

 

[Tolmekian]

3dmark06 results, not quite as high a gareths. Everything at stock.

 

[Mr Paul]

thanks

it works. whats the safe voltage for theses??

Good question

 

[RavenXXX2]

They have overvolt protection, dive right in.

 

[gareth170]

They have overvolt protection, dive right in.

so 1.350v is ok?

using MSI Afterburner the max voltage is 1.350v

 

[RavenXXX2]

Well go up in steps first, go as high as you want with your OC and then work your volts up until you get stability, of course your max OC may not stick no matter the volts so play around a bit and find you max.

What is the max OC that the software lets you go up to?
