** Official omg I just got my 5870 thread **

[rexehuk]

Could people confirm if the 5870's can soft volt ?

I assume so... Asus have their voltage tweak model out, so it must have a accessible vrm controller?

Afternoon people.

Anyone know if these fit in an antec 300?

Ta!

You might want to say that a bit louder...don't think anyone heard you

Nm misread question

Anyone that spends 1k on one GFX card needs a single severe boot up the arse.

Thats too lenient mate.

 

[ViRuS2k]

I dont know how meny times i have to say this,

ALL CARDS CURRENTLY OUT ARE ATI REFERENCE MODELS

5850 and 5870 cards can be software GPU/MEMORY volt modded.
and if you flash the asus cards bios to yours you can use there tweaking software if that floats ya boat

good news about these cards is you can software volt mod the memory now where by on the 4890s you could only software volt mod GPU....

Man hurry up cards LOL still not here yet heh

How do you know all cards are generic ?

My sapphire 4890's would allowed for core and memory adjustments.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Mines just arrived just finished up installing it, pics etc to come

 

[magicroundabout]

come on Tom.

i bet you ran to that front door

Yes core and memory but not core and memory voltage
just core voltage....

and i know there all reference becuse i have been looking for the past 3 weeks at leaks and PCB information on nearly all the models.

there all reference.

all the same components. be it 5850 or 5870

 

[ViRuS2k]

DAM YOU DAM DAM DAM YOU, mine is still on its way should be here soon though, dam driver probably drives at 30 mph lol

[straxusii]

Virus, how many hours sleep have you had over the last 3 days out of interest?

 

[jigger]

Hey Tom, Any chance you could give this a whirl ?

True ofc, but asus comes with a better warranty which is always a plus
Only reason ive bought one.

Oh and it doesnt come with loads of awful stickers on..

 

[CK61938]

come on Tom.

i bet you ran to that front door

Ran? He probs think he's Superman so flew instead lol...of course there is also The Flash

lol now you're asking

Nope, both core and memory voltage could be adjusted.

You going to be drooling over that sticker when its upside down in your case, by all means drool away lol

extra year warantee is cool though but i have read reports of how uberly slow there RMA/ Warantee service is

is that why we pay the extra £10. cos it's not been degraded with stickers

Just run Resident Evil 5 benchmark and got the same score (95-96fps) as with my GTX280 albeit running 8x FSAA with the 5870 (1920*1200 res).

I'm guessing the benchmark is somewhat CPU limited even with i7@4ghz.

 

[ViRuS2k]

Dont know where you have been getting your information from but your wrong.
the pcb on the 4890s did not i repeate did not come with volterra memory ics or there for the volterra chip didnt link to the memory voltage.

the only way was hardmodding.

and the only other card i can think of that has memory and core adjustments was the 285 ROG asus Nvidia card.

get me proof becuse i think im 99% sure your wrong.
