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

[Greebo]

i don't think you was at stock because it's only about 5-6fps different.

maybe because im running 9.11 beta drivers

Maybe. I can't remember which drivers I used for that test or the card speeds. I really must make notes.

All I do know is that this is my best score with 1070/1300:

P18447
CPU: 18075
GPU: 18575

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1507595

I have just found this one at 930/1200 which must mean my score I posted earlier was at stock speeds on the 5850 or certainly much less than 930.

P16353
CPU:16169
GPU:16405


Interesting to see recently that the 9.10 beta's give you 1000 points more than the official 9.10 in Vantage.

I haven't seen how the 9.11's compare to either though.

would just like to no you are running your vantage on windows 7 is that right and if so there is no patch i need as i can see that even 5770 cards are beating mine,ive ordered one fro my htpc so will have to wait and see what its like

 

[Greebo]

windows 7 64 bit, no patch.

 

[sunderland]

cheers greebo,well dont no whats wrong then,runs fine in games

 

[Kanifee]

stock 5850 gets a vantage score of 12211, how does that look as i still have input lag with 4xaa on cod4.

 

[MeMeMeMe]

Has anyone compiled a list of vantage or other 3dmark scores?
On my first run with Vantage, I got 12,600; CPU 11,500, Graphics 13,000. (System in my sig.)
I have no idea whether these scores are good, bad, or expected.

What sort of numbers should people be expecting?

Score seems about right. OC for better results.

He has a quad, according to you sig you have dual core, quads own in the CPU tests in futuremark benchmarks.

getting really ****ed of with my games crashing now just checked all power connections on psu and graphics card also reseated it, cant find anything wrong there, reset bios settings still same problems.

i did notice tho that my xfx 5850 has 2 fingers on the connection pci bit that are only half fingers? can anyone confirm they to have 2 fingers that are only half fingers, one on one side of the connection and one on other side thanks

 

[L0rdMike]

Pretty sure my 5870 was like that with the "half fingers"

Thanks Raven, that's good to know.

I'm not too concerned about overclocking yet - the only game that I've tried that I might need it is Crysis (and then only to max out settings at 1920x1200), everything else its more than capable.

 

[Arcane]

Just got mine installed yesterday, completely new to ATI so don't know if this is good/bad/average, Win7 64, Cat 9.11's.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Very good performance at them clocks, you should consider flashing your card to breach the overdrive limit on your overclock.

 

[Arcane]

That's crossfire btw.

 

[LeJosh]

Sorry can't be bothered to trawl through the entire thread.

But could somebody bench The Witcher and mass effect for me please? The review sites didn't have them in their tests.

 

[wolvers]

Anyone using the new beta drivers with their 5850?

 

[wolvers]

Official 9.11 drivers here.

cheers for the heads up

 

[Naff8000]

Anyone using the new beta drivers with their 5850?

I'm using the 9.12 beta drivers. They've made no difference on vantage or Crysis warhead or mw2

 

[wolvers]

No boost in Unigine bench here over the 9.10s.
