Sorry to hear you've had so much trouble with this.

Someone mentioned this earlier but I don't see a reply, did you check in GPUZ that the card is switching to the correct clock speeds when you launch a 3d app?

Also, I was wondering why your monitor is running at 30hz?

I have no idea what GPUZ is. Is it a downloadable program?

I will def give it a go once I know a bit more about it. I am so scared of doing something to the GPU or indeed the whole rig itself .
 
where do you live....maybe.. just maybe someone with a little more knowledge can help you out if they live close...i reckon its software related.

Seriously? There would be at least a crate of beer/bottles of whisky / prizes of similiar value :) to anyone that done that. These forums are so helpful.

I am in S****horpe in North Lincolnshire. Not far from Hull, Grimsby etc
 
Downloaded GPU - Z and I think there is def a prob with the card itself.

WIth Mirror's Edge running: GPU Core Clock 157Mhz
GPU Memory Clock 314Mhz

Aren't these numbers stupidly low?

Went to the CCC and the numberes looked a bit weird in ATI Overdrive. I set them back to defaults but this does not seem to effect GPU - Z

Yes, those numbers are about one sixth of what they should be :eek:

Mirror's Edge running full screen?

GPU: 157 MHz, Memory: 300 MHz, thats the idle clock.

download and install AMD GPU Clock Tool then click on restore default clocks then click ok then try a game again.

Yeah ME was running full screen.

Downloaded that program and set clocks to default unfortunately no change.

I am really stsrting to think it's the screen. I was looking about in CCC to see if there were any problems and in the screen setup it did say that the refresh rate was 30hz.

Would that not cause some of the problems I'm getting??

in gpu-s when doing nothing u should see this

then

run Heaven Benchmark in windowed mode and u should see the clocks change.



make sure u tick the bottom box on gpu-z..

I think it is a bit of a red herring, you can alter the refresh rate in Windows Display Properties, set it to the maximum that your monitor can support.

Ok well thats pretty much my mind made up. Done test as per Gareths instructions

Core Clock:850
Memroy Clock:1200

Is that not what it's meant to be?

Then tried Morlocks advice and the MAX my screen can do is 30Mhz interlaced.

Do we think screen is the problem now then?

Thanks again peeps!!
 
Also these were my scores:

FPS: 95.3

sorry . yes its right then

my 5850 stock gets:

im using 9.11 beta drivers

i would say your 5870 is performing about right as your using 9.10 drivers?
