*** Official OMG I've finally got my 5850 thread **

[wolvers]

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

Some useful stuff
Drivers;

Overclocking tools;
**make sure you research fully before messing with your card's BIOS!**

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/
ATI Tool - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Tweaking/ATITool/

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

Looking forward to seeing if they'll clock as well as some of the 5870s are.

wrong thread

 

[wolvers]

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.

 

[wolvers]

plus its my birthday on Monday i must qualify for it

Mine was friday, so the cards being late have spoiled my birthday and I therefore should receive the game bundle as compensation for the emotional damage caused!

 

[wolvers]

i thought pictures with animals was the thing to do

Erm, I think you're posting on the wrong forum m8!!

 

[wolvers]

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?

 

[wolvers]

No, because the image is waaaaayyy too big!!

 

[wolvers]

I wern't messing about resizing when their's a game bundle at stake

It's only railway tycoon anyway!:

 

[wolvers]

Stop worrying about free games and white bread and get that suckah installed!!!

 

[wolvers]

it should have been the first person to post pics from their country, obviously people who are in the UK will win.

fixed

 

[wolvers]

no, and the women are hot.

Has Jason finished his toast yet?.............the git

 

[wolvers]

Well, surely you know who that is already?!

Anyway............what on earth is Jason doing?!!!!!!

 

[wolvers]

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!!

 

[wolvers]

i've just came.

Crikey, I thought virus got over excited!!

 

[wolvers]

Mixing all of what up in one thread? Now I've got to read through two different threads on the same topic

Really nice and tidy looking rig that Jason.

 

[wolvers]

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.

 

[wolvers]

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

 

[wolvers]

Haha!! Booyaka for the next games bundle win!

 

[wolvers]

Yeah, fruit slice'll do.
