Lets have your thoughts, benchies and overclocks in here then peeps. :D

Some useful stuff
Drivers;
Vista/Win7 - http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/ATIRadeonHD5800seriesrecommendedgraphicsdriver.aspx

Overclocking tools;
**make sure you research fully before messing with your card's BIOS!**
RBE - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Utilities/RBE/
Bios flashing tools - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Utilities/BIOS_Flashing/ATI/
MSI 5850 'unlocked clocks' bios - http://cid-26aaa81850481d85.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/公開/MSI^_R5850^_unlock.A11
GPUZ - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/

AMD GPU Clock Tool - http://techpowerup.com/downloads/1641/AMD_GPU_Clock_Tool_v0.9.26.0_For_HD_5870.html

Current method for extreme clocking on the 5850 is to use MSI afterburner for voltage increases then use ATI GPU clock tool to adjust clocks.

No I can't till later in the week either.............but someone will :D

Looking forward to seeing if they'll clock as well as some of the 5870s are.
 
Looking forward to see how you lot get on with your cards tomorrow. I'll have to wait a little longer as I'm stuck working in Germany until later in the week. I'll just have to rely on you lot to keep me updated. :)
 
Love the 1ghz overclock in that techpowerup review :)

They're reviews I think are probably the best and the first I've found that included a naked shot.

I wonder what that big silver chip on the right is?
 
He still hasn't told us what the games are too. For all we know it could be Pippa Funnell 3: The Golden Stirrup Challenge!! :D
 
Mixing all of what up in one thread? Now I've got to read through two different threads on the same topic :rolleyes:

Really nice and tidy looking rig that Jason.
 
Well it makes it easier to search for peoples results I agree but, as already mentioned, a second thread just isn't needed as one will just die off.

Nevertheless, throwing insults (however flippant) just isn't necessary.
