Here you go - using the latest hotfix drivers which as far as this benchmark goes are slower than the original 10.10's..

Give me ten minutes to uninstall the hotfix drivers and reinstall the original 10.10's and I can do a direct comparison - post back in a bit.

And yet your minimum is lower :p

Seriously though, running benches with Performance mode is not a good comparison as that compromises on IQ.

Pants Benchmark IMO It seems that CPU core speed makes little difference too. And yet it has a direct effect on FPS in games.

Poo Benchmark:p

As for perfromance mode..I used to bench all the time and everyone uses performance in 3D mark and Vantage.

Oh dear:o

Noob Alert:p


Jokester please put this man out of misery...Its the common settings used by millions on orb and thats what Vantage does this at default.

Benching with anything other than performance is for noob who clearly knows very little about benchmarking.

Nice try.

As in?

Please don't tell me you run 3D mark with HQ enabled?

No, I don't. I run it at default Catalyst settings meaning that Catalyst AI is set to Standard rather than Advanced and Mipmap DL to Quality rather than Performance. You can always try to get the best score tweaking graphics settings even further than Performance setting allows to but I don't really care enough to be bothered. Will do some Performance to Balanced comparison but I doubt the results will vary by much.
 
Very happy with my MSI 6850. A lot cooler than my 8800gt
Havent found max OC yet, though with my current resolution I dont really need it. This is with the 10.10e's

And below a quick comparison at DX10:

8800gt (700 core + linked shaders), stock 6850, and 6850(974 core, 1076mem)

I would be interested in knowing that too. My Sapphire 5970 4GIG at 2560x1600 scores about 1300 with core clocked at 900mhz (50mhz overclock) and cpu at stock 3.33ghz. At 1680 it's around the same as what RaV is getting, maybe a little more.

Now I know CPU doesn't really factor into the Heaven bench, so leaving that aside I'm curious how a score of 1635 was achieved with a single overclocked 6850 that is matching or beating a 4gig 5970 (which is essentially 2 x 5870's). In fact that score is beating some overclocked GTX 580's at 1680 too. Somethings going on.

@ RaV run it again in DX11

The top one is DX11 with overclock. just did DX10 so i could include my 8800gt for some people who wanted it.
Guess i shouldnt have gone cropping mad ;)


Currently up to: 974 core and 1152 mem with a bit of voltage bumpage.
Will have to see how 1000 and 1200 works. :)

Overclocking the 6850

ok guys...I need to assistance on overclocking the 6850.

Basically I helped a friend to buy a Gigabyte 6850 for his new PC...and I went to his house yesterday and helping him with overclocking and stuffs.

Anyway, I downloaded MSI Afterburner for overclocking his card, and realised that it would only let me overclock to 850MHz max. I recall reading there's something I need to disable something in ATI overdrive or something to enable higher overclocking or something like that...so what is it that I would need to look for to disable?

Also, after overclocking to core clock to 850MHz, and memory clock to 1150MHz, we installed BFBC2 and have a run on the single player campaign. I noticed there was a bit of stuttering, which I managed to resolved by enabling the vsync. Just want to know if that's normal...

We completed the first mission perfectly fine with no problem, but in the middle of the 2nd mission, the screen went blank (monitor lost signal) and it seem to have crashed, which I had to force restart computer. So am I ok to assume overclocking to from 775MHz to 850MHz is too much for stock voltage?

Also, about the MLAA...is it enabled by default with the 10.11 driver, and I should disable it if I'm using 4xAA?

He's using latest 10.11 driver by the way.
