Wow, Nvidia really pushed out a nice card in the form the GTX460 (GF104). Looks like Nvidia finally got a good grip on the technical issues plaguing the GF100. At RM 699 for the cheaper one, maybe we would see a price drop of more than RM 100 on ATI's gaming-class cards.

Yes. There will be a price drop of all GPU sooner or later.
Geforce GTX460 have the performance of Radeon HD5830 - Radeon HD5850 but with extreme cheap price tag.
Most reviews show that Geforce GTX460 is weaker on 2560x1440/2560x1600 resolution compared to Radeon HD5830 and Radeon HD5850. However, I don't think there's a lot of people with such big resolution yet.

We could get it cheaper it seems <700 from sellers in the forum. Check this out. The 768MB version when oced could perform on par with stock HD 5850 at 1920 x 1080 reso. brows.gif

Nvidia really hit the sweet spot this time. A drop in HD 5850 price would do nicely. nod.gif

finally after 10 months+ radeon hd 5000 price war is coming from july to sept


Added on July 13, 2010, 1:25 amgtx 460 768 mb oced = 5850 is too much stress at stock it beaTS 5830

gtx 460 1gb at stock beats gtx 465 which makes gtx 465 obsolete

gtx 460 1 gb oced beats or equalizes with stock gtx 470 which is good for every games including crysis except metro 2033

Geforce GTX460 equal to Radeon HD5830-Radeon HD5850 when comes to lower resolution gaming or some FULL HD gaming. However, it loses to Radeon HD5830-Radeon HD5850 when the resolution is more than FULL HD(like 2560x1440).

Not true. Geforce GTX470 pawns Geforce GTX460(OC) for sure. Because Geforce GTX470 is stronger than Radeon HD5850 already.

It depend how you perceive it, if you are not very demanding on performance or from a casual gamer point of view,its actually can consider to be a "standard mid range" but if you are high end player and have high expecatation... GTX 460 consider just enough to use... cool2.gif

For a poor guy, this indeed is better than nothing at all... you see....

ATi definitely will take action to against GTX460. While nVidia mean GTX460 is to compete 5830, ATi will change ur mind to: 5850 is to compete GTX460. hohoho... (let no one card(nvidia) survive on market field = Earn & Win)

I'd love to see that. Unless ATI has been building up a large cache of cards, I think ATI would show some restraint in the new prices. While ATI has already been making money on the Cypress for about three quarters now and should have the reserves to fight price war, the GF104 is actually smaller than the Cypress. Nvidia's manufacturing cost should be lower than ATI's by a few percentages.

I want to ask where got sell Palit Geforce GTX470(LOL, in ATi/AMD Thread)? Cycom got no stock until next Wednesday. Sad. Sad.
Since Cycom can offer RM 1128 for Palit Geforce GTX470, I guess Palit Geforce GTX460 will be around RM 690(or something like that)?

I don't think anybody knew of what the GTX460 would be like two weeks ago. First posts about it that I noticed was on the 10th, and the news embargo was only lifted on the 12th. If I were in your shoes, I probably would have bout a HD 5770 also.

I wouldn't bother to CF the cards. You're getting acceptable performance right now, aren't you? Also, there is the HD 6000 series coming out later this year. Maybe three more months or less if we're lucky. I've no clue on what is the expected delivery date of the HD 6000 series.

AMD will drops 5770, 5830 after mass availability of 460. By the way, 460 lack of any triple monitors setup, do consider the 1GB version than 768MB. Isn't 5770 only at 575myr?

You could even get 5770 at less than 560 bucks already. brows.gif

Gtx 460's pricing offers more performance than 5770/ 5830 based on reviews. flex.gif

I'm holding back my previous statement that 5850 may drop. Don't think so I guess. It could be the 5770/ 5830 price may drop. hmm.gif We shall see in the next few months.

I just notice that SAPPHIRE HD5770 1GB D5 is RM550 from compu-zone.com

But SAPPHIRE HD5830 1GB D5 256BIT is RM865

I don't think any threat from 460 until it mass availability, by then, HD5830 may be around RM700, the price level that I hope for.

And this is and Radeon thread, lolz

5850 price has to drop to its original MSRP, an overclocked GTX 460 is breathing down on it too close for comfort.

It seems most recent 5770 owners having a dilemma when the GTX460 came in sneaking out of nowhere! sweat.gif
I know you feel compelled to CF'ed the 5770 out of disappointment, but chill out a bit, no need to go that far ATM...


Anyways congrats to Nvidia because this is actually the first 'real' attack that do have a considerable impact to the Red Camp...the GTX 460...

The only contender I could of that could rival the GTX460 is a 'priced-dropped' HD5830, but I they (ATI) have to revised the whole architecture of the PCB (currently using 5870 PCB) and circuitry to cut cost so it's possible to reduce the price,
but regardless of that, the 5830 should or MUST have reduce the price long ago, this is true even before the launch of GTX460... rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(Onion-KiD @ Jul 13 2010, 06:08 PM)
ATi definitely will take action to against GTX460. While nVidia mean GTX460 is to compete 5830, ATi will change ur mind to: 5850 is to compete GTX460. hohoho... (let no one card(nvidia) survive on market field = Earn & Win)
*
Well good thing there's isn't much 5830 owners (or are there? tongue.gif ) to fill disappointed getting that card anyways, but it's ATI's fault in the first place for leaving a big gap between 5770 and 5850 to be exploited by Nvidia, (the 5830 wasn't a good enough excuse to fill that GAP)
the GTX460 move was smooth as silk, (it was too easy anyways, the gap was huge and exploitable) ...a complement to Nvidia for now...

.....ATi will change ur mind to: 5850 is to compete GTX460......

ATi CAN do that, but Nvidia's GTX460 will leech on the 5830 soo closely & tightly that this move from ATi will not suffice much benefit for them.... doh.gif

So in the end, the 5830 is just plain hopeless, and borderline useless...UNLESS price drop!!! (I suggest RM675~ish)

5830 is a fail product from the beginning.
it's a cripple cypress.
the real existence of 5830 is to increase cypress yield.
if u recall, a while bck, TSMC has problem wit low 40nm yield percentage.
5830 is created to not waste too much cypress chip.

The 5830 price drop should be common sense if ATi wants to deal with the GTX460.

But price drop for the 5850 is a different story...ever since I bought my HD5850 in Nov 2009 for around RM950, I got the feeling that for it's performance - the price is somehow right and justified, esp if compared to it's Nvidia competitor the GTX285, which is way more expensive...(BTW, the 5850 is already considered 'bang~for-bucks', so should make sense the price wouldn't be lowered...)

So my point is, the 5850 will/might stay the same price because the price range for the 5850 is suitable for it at the moment...UNTIL the 6 Series comes out to play early next year or end of this year....OR price drop for GTX470!

5850 oc sure can beat gtx 460 anytime. biggrin.gif

However do consider this, you have a cheaper alternative by say, 200+ bucks and if oced its performance is similar to hd 5850. Now that's worth it for those who don't mind slightly slower performance and want to spend their 200 bucks elsewhere. brows.gif

Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 Super OC 1GB whistling.gif

This GC, priced only at RM775, OWNED the stock 5850! sweat.gif
I've check most benchmarks such as on Tweaktown, Tom's HW, etc. and this GC is either equal or a tad bit faster than the 5850 default clocks...

What does this means? hmm.gif
I will reconsider what I said before about the 5850 would not have a price drop because it desperately needs it to counter these premium OC'ed GTX460's...

Of course a 900mhz/1200 @ 1.15v OC'ed HD5850 can beat the OC'ed GTX460 without the slightest of a doubt, but the GTX460 already proves that it has thread into the 5850's (stock) territory...while being approx. RM200 cheaper! shocking.gif


Oh about the hopelessly and almost non-contributory 5830, that cards needs to drop the price waay lower, almost close to the current 5770 price while the 'bang~for~the~bucks' 5850 indeed needs to drop the price a bit, (and don't forget price drop for the 5770 as well, Cross-Fire!!!!!)
With these three cards having a drop in their price, ATi will for sure counter big time any Nvidia's ploy to win over the GC market... biggrin.gif


haha, I miss this price war...consumers are smiling again after more than half a year of Red domination... tongue.gif

Radeon HD 5830 Gets Price-Cuts, Takes Aim at GeForce GTX 460
Call it one of the immediate repercussions of NVIDIA's Monday launch of the GeForce GTX 460, AMD has responded covertly with noticeable price-cuts for the ATI Radeon HD 5830 graphics card, from across various AIB partners. Leading partners such as Sapphire, HIS, and Gigabyte positioned their models that have AMD-reference clock speeds at US $199.99, and factory-overclocked models starting at $229.99. Incidentally these are two price-points NVIDIA is targeting with the GeForce GTX 460, with the 768 MB variant positioned at $199.99, which NVIDIA refers to as the gamers' sweet-spot, and the 1 GB variant at $229.99.

Reviews from across the web show that while GeForce GTX 460 768MB gets close to the Radeon HD 5830 in terms of performance, it only takes the 1 GB variant to perform on par. With AMD positioning the HD 5830 at $199, and factory-overclocked HD 5830 starting at $229.99, things could get heated up in this market segment. Based on the 40 nm Cypress GPU, the Radeon HD 5830 is DirectX 11 compatible, packs 1120 stream processors, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory.

I've check most benchmarks such as on Tweaktown, Tom's HW, etc. and this GC is either equal or a tad bit faster than the 5850 default clocks...

What does this means?  hmm.gif
I will reconsider what I said before about the 5850 would not have a price drop because it desperately needs it to counter these premium OC'ed GTX460's...

Of course a 900mhz/1200 @ 1.15v OC'ed HD5850 can beat the OC'ed GTX460 without the slightest of a doubt, but the GTX460 already proves that it has thread into the 5850's (stock) territory...while being approx. RM200 cheapershocking.gif
Oh about the hopelessly and almost non-contributory 5830, that cards needs to drop the price waay lower, almost close to the current 5770 price while the 'bang~for~the~bucks' 5850 indeed needs to drop the price a bit, (and don't forget price drop for the 5770 as well, Cross-Fire!!!!!)
With these three cards having a drop in their price, ATi will for sure counter big time any Nvidia's ploy to win over the GC market... biggrin.gif
haha, I miss this price war...consumers are smiling again after more than half a year of Red domination... tongue.gif

I'm using 5850 and I luv every bit of it! thumbup.gif
But If an OC'ed GTX460 can match the stock 5850 performance, and RM200 cheaper, the current price of the 5850 must be adjust accordingly, ASAP..

Anyways a stock GTX460 isn't comparable to 5850, it's those premium OC'ed gtx460 that's threatening the 5850...

Yeah, this one they still have a debate on the LYN Nvidia Thread, some says it's cooler than the 5770 on LOAD, hmm.gif some says it's hot like it's older siblings the GTX470 and 480...ETC.
But that Galaxy GTX460 OC'ed is noisy(those detachable fan) from the reviews, still, let's hear from the GTX460 owner's themselves later on...

Lucky I purchase 5870 rather than 5830 or 5850, or else now I should be regretting not to wait for few months more... icon_rolleyes.gif

Catalyst 10.6 driver is around the corner. Rumours said that the driver will be released by Wednesday. Main point is the VLC on GPU support. Thinking of changing my player from media player classic to VLC player. rclxub.gif

One more thing need to ask. Can 5870 graphic card crossfire with eyefinity version of 5870? Both chipsets are same right?

If not mistaken, that's not CCC 10.6 WHQL(last month). This month is CCC 10.7 WHQL.

AMD Reaffirms Plans to Introduce Second-Generation DirectX 11 Family of Chips in 2010.
Sixteen Million of DirectX 11 Graphics Chips Shipped - AMD
[07/15/2010 10:50 PM]
by Anton Shilov
Advanced Micro Devices said that its ATI graphics business unit has shipped over sixteen million of DirectX 11-compatible graphics processing units and reiterated plans to introduce second-generation DirectX 11 graphics chips later in 2010. Besides, despite rumours, AMD expects supply constraints to ease in the second half of the year.

"Demand for our GPU offerings in the quarter was very strong, and shipments were temped only by supply constraints. This was the second straight quarter of record GPU shipments, led by an 18% sequential increase in notebook discrete units. More than half of our GPU shipments in the quarter were DirectX 11-capable and [so far] we have shipped nearly 16 million DX11 GPUs to date," said Dirk Meyer, chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices, during the quarterly conference call with financial analysts.

AMD announced revenue for the second quarter of 2010 of $1.65 billion, a net loss of $43 million, or $0.06 per share, and operating income of $125 million. The company reported non-GAAP net income of $83 million, or $0.11 per share, and non-GAAP operating income of $138 million.

ATI's revenue increased 8% sequentially and 87% year-over-year to approximately $470 million, which is higher than GPU revenues received by ATI when it was independent back in 2006. The sequential increase was driven by record GPU unit shipments, partially offset by a decrease in average selling price. The year-over-year increase was driven by an increase in GPU shipments and ASP. Operating income was $33 million, compared with $47 million in Q1 2010 and a loss of $17 million in Q2 2009.

AMD also reaffirmed plans to introduce the next-generation ATI Radeon HD 6000-series graphics processors in 2010. However, this time AMD did not say that it planned to refresh the whole lineup, but only promised to debut some of the novelties.

"In the second half of the year, we expect GPU demand to remain healthy and supply constraints to ease. We remain on track to bolster our GPU leadership with the introduction of our second-generation DirectX 11 graphics products later this year. [...] We will start introducing the second-generation of our DX 11 products before the end of the year," said Mr. Meyer.

yes you can. my sapphire 5850 doesn't have any warranty void stickers. just check yours before reapplying thermal paste. sometimes they will do sloppy job on the thermal paste. clean it up and apply new one.

I emailed the technician of my brand (Powercolor) and inquire about if replacing the paste do void the warranty, and they say as long no damage is derive from improper installation of the cooler then everything is fine. icon_rolleyes.gif

The important thing are those warranty sticker, most of the time they locate it in the way you can remove the cooler without tempering the sticker, but sometimes they put the sticker where it is impossible to remove the cooler without ripping the sticker... sweat.gif

Mine is Powercolor5850, I ordered the Tuniq TX-3 from lingloong.

Here's the exact page:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=804722&hl=

The reference cooler was 'tricky' to remove at first because the design is different from any ref cooler i'd seen in the past..but once you know the method, it's easy... laugh.gif
TX-3 is superb! My C2D proc improves by 6c on LOAD when replace with this paste..

QUOTE(speedhunter @ Jul 17 2010, 07:18 PM)

Agree, RM29 total via Poslaju thumbup.gif

The TX-3 is a bit fiddly to apply, the "credit card" method is hopeless, the best is to wrap your index finger with plastic and 'persuade' the paste all across the GPU. biggrin.gif
Since this paste is pretty thick in consistency, I'm not convince with applying it the "rice grain" method, (where you blob two rice grain amount of past then rotate the cooler back and forth while pressing it to the GPU)

actually 5970 is 2x 5870 in downclock mode.

actually the cooler is built well enough to handle 2x 5870 in full clock, but ATI only downclock bcoz dun wan the TDP to b too high.
5970 can b oc to 5870 clock without breaking a sweat.

yes, gtx 460 is a bit slower in DX11 games when compared to 5850, but the price difference is quite big. Performance per price for gtx 460 is better with gtx 460

The 5850 slotted nicely in the GC market for the price of RM1000 (approx.) if looked upon by the average gamers. (not them rich folks or enthusiast, etc.)

The 5870 is faster, but already breaks the RM1000 bar/margin... (In my opinion, graphic card's price are ideal for any range of consumers when no more than RM1000)
5850 can OC to match 5870 while still maintain being no more than RM1000. nod.gif

So this card at the moment is dubbed 'bang~for~the~bucks'..........as for the GTX470, it's price is similar to the 5870 but Nvidia claims it's a direct competitor for the 5850, but we know it's technically not...it competes with the 5870 and the 5870 pwned it...
The competitors for the 5850 are GTX460 and GTX465: The 5850 can beat the GTX460 most of the time (and better @ high res) while GTX465 is too hot and consumes more power than 5850, but a bit better than 5850...


So again, the 5850 still a nicely placed card in the market...but as for the moment, it needs to decrease it's price ASAP to retain that rep as a "good buy" card...

I can OC my Powrcolor 5850 to:
900mhz/1200 @ 1.15v to score similar points in 3DMark Vantage as my friend's Asus 5870.

Then later he OC'd his 5870 to 1ghz to ejek me mad.gif


But these days I stop OC'ing the card since it can easily handle most of the games out there...last time OC'ed when Metro 2033 was released couple of months ago.... sweat.gif

The 2G doesn't mean higher performance, but means it can perform at higher resolution without performance deficit, usually waaaay above 1920X1200.
Or without performance deficit when doing Eyefinity 3. rclxms.gif

The ASUS EAH5870 is the better performer between those two cards you mentioned.
But I'm not sure which performs better on very high res, let's say if for example both cards are to be played on a 32" monitor........ hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

.... it puzzles me why there's a 2G version of 5850 with the similar price of 5870 when a 5870 out-performs the 5850 obviously...

Yeap. The screen size doesn't matter. It is the screen resolution that matters, as that is the only thing any graphics card deals with.

A HD 5870 can easily handle gaming on a wide screen 32", 50", 104", and even a hundred kilometers tall with 1920x1080 resolution. With an old game, even a HD 4670 can do the same.

Thats a whole lotta improvement!

Anyways, IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Are you using Catalyst 10.5?!
This driver has issues in which it heats up the card a bit, you should use 10.4 or 10.6 or wait for two more days for 10.7 if the rumors are true...

The Catalyst can only MAXed out at 775mhz only, and I don't recommend using Catalyst for OC'ing.

Use MSI Afterburner 1.5 biggrin.gif
download here:
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

Ok, just because it's MSI doesn't mean it's only for MSI cards, infact they should just called it Afterburner, but of course MSI wants to take some credits in this great utility...heck they created it....(actually the template is borrowed from Rivertuner, but Rivertuner can't OC ATi last time I check, plus MSI AB looks nicer and user friendly..)

With MSI AB 1.5.1, you have more versatility in OC'ing the card.

In order to do so:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Program files > MSI Afterburner > Open 'MSIAfterburner.cfg'

Then change the value from 0 to 1 for this:

[ATIADLHAL]
EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1


RESTART MSI AFTERBURNER (or restart the PC optionally)

ENJOY the journey of OC'ing your PCS+ over the 775mhz CCC limit icon_rolleyes.gif
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With AB you can manually set AUTOFAN by regulating the fan speed accordingly to the GC's temps. nod.gif
Mine is like this:

And don't forget the OSD, you can monitor your GPU temp on your taskbar and as well when playing games, of course the FPS as well, very useful...

No offense really, ATi users wants to know even more than the Nvidia users about the GTX460 brows.gif
I hope we'll be seeing a steady price drop of the the 5830 and 5850 starting August..although overseas the price drop has been commenced about a week or more, it will take a little bit of time for the local market to adjust to this new pricing... nod.gif


Guys, you know what..I have the nagging feeling that the existing 5850 owners that own their cards for more than 5 months now (or ever since October 2009, like me tongue.gif ) wouldn't want their cards to depreciate in price, in which this 'price drop' will devalues the 5850... whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif
Next thing you'll know, your 5850 only laku for RM600 in Garage Sales : laugh.gif

QUOTE
ATI’s next generation Southern Islands cores are not promising anything spectacular. It looks like these cores are going to be just a tweak of ATI's existing Radeon HD 5000 series architecture.

This is mainly due the fact that this generation remains developed for 40nm and ATI still doesn’t have any new amazing architecture until 28nm and we have already reported that 28nm cores are coming sometime in 2011.

Source: Radeon HD 6000 is a minor improvement

Still looking forward to the new 5670 successor though.

QUOTE
It doesn’t look like ATI is planning any dramatic price cuts of its chips in the short term. Partners and retailers can cut their profit margins in order to get more competitive but the really significant price cuts should come in October.

We just received confirmation on something that we have been reporting all year long, next generation ATI cards are coming in the latter part of this year, most likely in October. This will simply be one year after the introduction of Radeon 5000 series and we can also add that the new generation is still 40nm.

Our further investigation also led us to find two codenames Turks and Caicos as these two cards should replace Radeon HD 5670 and Radeon 5550 and 5400.

Cayman (Southern Islands should be a group codename for Radeon 6000 series) should be the codename for the product that replaces Radeon HD 5800 series, but as far as we know this chip might actually not make it to market this year, but it also might launch together with the other ones in October. The company also plans a dual-chip high performance card.

ATI's next generation GPUs to come in October

ATI dun need major improvement wit southern island, just has to grab bck the single chip performance crown from nvidia (which nvidia only had ~15% lead).

ATI knows dat nvidia will not hav ntgh much to offer in the high end market, other den possible dual GF104.

i think ATI is playing it smart, keeping the performance boost for northen island. dis increases the chance of winning another round of GPU war.

btw, 6k series line up will probably b announced on late december/october wit the real availability squeezing in too q4 2010 just b4 xmas.

what is your fan speed? or its default? download msi afterburner, turn the fan to 30 or 40%, its not too loud but the result should be good. if u r looking the cheapest, i found xigmatek bifrost for only rm140 in the forum, new 1. can turn to 100% fan speed, result will like the stock cooler turn to >50% fan speed but more silent. not from my experience, but from what i read smile.gif

.... in couple of months can CFX the 5850 for sure when this card becomes cheaper,
plus the news that the 6 Series won't yield major improvements means the existing 5850 user can still use their cards for the next 2 years before updating to the 28nm cards...so mass CFX'ing of 5850 are imminent to happen pretty close in the future....

This doesn't add up, this kinda thing should be covered by the warranty.

Do you have a more detailed explanation why your warranty claim is rejected?...I don't see why something like a minor burnt circuitry is categorized as voiding warranty... hmm.gif

Are they saying that this damage is caused by external factors (your mobo, PSU, etc.) hence it's you who cause the damage, not by the defectiveness of their card??? doh.gif
Because I know some friends who encountered worst damage than what you showed in the pic (burnt capacitors and Vram, big electrical spark in his case, etc.) but manage to retrieved a fresh card back from RMA. no more than a month...

This doesn't add up, this kinda thing should be covered by the warranty.

Do you have a more detailed explanation why your warranty claim is rejected?...I don't see why something like a minor burnt circuitry is categorized as voiding warranty...  hmm.gif

Are they saying that this damage is caused by external factors (your mobo, PSU, etc.) hence it's you who cause the damage, not by the defectiveness of their card???  doh.gif
Because I know some friends who encountered worst damage than what you showed in the pic (burnt capacitors and Vram, big electrical spark in his case, etc.) but manage to retrieved a fresh card back from RMA. no more than a month...
*
what they say is the damage because of lightning or short circuit bla bla bla...but my mobo everything is working fine....first they sent it to distributor to claimed a new one...but distributor said cannot because the card got burn mark...then they say can try sent to taiwan back to the manufacturer hopefully that they give me a new one...after 2 months of waiting...taiwan also reject says can't give me a new because of the burn chips.

then the shop call me....boss cannot claimed the new one....we already try everything bla bla bla...then i said so how now? the shop says if u get another card from us we give u a special price lorr..ok sounds promising then i went to warranty department to collect the burn card and the girl call the shop downstairs inform about my situation....then i went downstairs ok which card u wanna buy...then i said asus 5870 v2 if u have...open up the box it's a reference model...price we give rm 1400 lor...tak banyak untung wor jual graphic card. that's not special price to me.

You got a special case and could have use that slight advantage to persuade those guys for a proper special price like around RM1100 or lower.. tongue.gif

Still, don't give up on that burn 5870 yet, like speedhunter said, try these guys out:

not buying a new 1, i mean try to give lingloong or zhen wei since they provide RMA service for certain cases.
since the shop already take to another distri, then we can just wait what's next.

I already open up the cooler to replace the thermal paste, even THAT makes me a little bit uneasy thinking if that would terminate the warranty privileges... sweat.gif

Bro, do email your brand's technician when you wanna replace the cooler in order to gain some credibility if you are to be given a green light to do so.
I emailed my brand (Powercolor) and they said as long there's is no damage done by 'improper re-installation of the cooler, then everything is fine' thumbup.gif

Most of the brand will void warranty once the default cooler is changed, I never heard of after sales warranty cover those mods, OC as well.

If you want to claim warranty later on, pandai pandai lah.
Change back original heatsink, then never say a word about you've change to other heatsink or open any parts of the screw lor.

Becareful of the sticker that stated "Warranty void if sticker rosak/opened, etc"

Should be no problem I guess, as long as u change back to stock heatsink and of course no damage or abuse on the card should be fine.

This "changing to aftermarket cooler will void the warranty" is actually a conspiracy created by the manufactures themselves.
Even among themselves they know such thing should not void the warranty...(infact it could possibly lessen the RMA activity because the aftermarket cooler is better than theirs thus pro-longs the life longevity of the cards.)

See, it's a legal issue thingy, they don't want to be viable by other brand's aftermarket cooler if things goes wrong from the installation of the A.M. cooler...
Just to be on the safe side, the installation of A.M cooler are unfavorable to them and they will rewards us the penalty in the form of 'warranty void' if we were to do so...

So the best thing for any cards owners (everywhere around the world) is to be assertive when changing coolers, LEAVE NO EVIDENCE whatsoever of aftermarket cooler installation when you RMA your cards..

Another thing, when putting back the stock cooler for RMA, remember to tighten the screws the exact "tightness" like how the card came out of the box...if you notice, these screws are pretty tight to screw off first time, some manufacture have a 'certain protocol' of how tight they screw their cards.

When you know this simple rule of 'pandai-pandai tukar heatsink', you can change your coolers multiple times and still be 'RMA eligible' biggrin.gif

this is true, take a picture before you remove any stock heatsink. anything go wrong, just refer to the picture and make sure they match. then send RMA, don't tell them you change the stock cooling tongue.gif

taking picture of stuff you just bought is not for showing off only. i normally take picture of the serial number. in case kena curi.

Let me say this, right now you still have the opportunity to sell your 5770 and topup few hundred ringgits for a better card, because once you CF you have to commit to use those 5770's for a long while...so you gotta choose between sticking to the 5770, CF it or trade/topup for a better card...

Why am I mentioning this? because two 5770 is slightly better than 5850 but cost around RM600+RM600 = RM1200... 5850 is only around (even below) RM1000 and needs a moderate OC'ing to match those CF'ed 5770s...
Keep in mind CF can sometimes micro-stutters in certain games...

And it's easier to sell one great card then two good cards... tongue.gif

Remember, you're 5770 is still worth it's price right now, as in today...price will depreciate very soon, so decision is crucial... sweat.gif

yeah,i suggest you rent.

Know how it actually 'feels' first in the real world rather then looking at benchmarks and numbers laugh.gif

no 5850 for renting?
then we can compare.

and see if its reliable to CF or buy a single 5850 whistling.gif

The HD 4850 is a good bargain buy only if you don't mind the fact that it requires a decent PSU (450W or greater), it is hot and it is noisy.

5000 series is much better, but the 5000 series equivalent to the HD 4850 is the HD 5750 (available at RM 405). At RM 299, the HD 5670 isn't anywhere near as good performing as the HD 4850.

That'll satisfy the power requirements.


Added on July 21, 2010, 1:14 pmThe HD5670 is available at RM299 at Cycom.

For me, I'd take the HD 5670, because I got fed up with hot and noisy GCs.

Why am I mentioning this? because two 5770 is slightly better than 5850 but cost around RM600+RM600 = RM1200... 5850 is only around  (even below) RM1000 and needs a moderate OC'ing to match those CF'ed 5770s...
Keep in mind CF can sometimes micro-stutters in certain games...

And it's easier to sell one great card then two good cards... tongue.gif

Remember, you're 5770 is still worth it's price right now, as in today...price will depreciate very soon, so decision is crucial...  sweat.gif

5770 crossfire performance is better than 5870.

but most of the game won by 5870 laugh.gif

to me its better to say with one really good card because not all game utilize dual-gc isn't it? but yes it looks really cool with 2 or 3 cards together.

5000 series is much better, but the 5000 series equivalent to the HD 4850 is the HD 5750 (available at RM 405). At RM 299, the HD 5670 isn't anywhere near as good performing as the HD 4850.
That'll satisfy the power requirements.


Added on July 21, 2010, 1:14 pmThe HD5670 is available at RM299 at Cycom.

For me, I'd take the HD 5670, because I got fed up with hot and noisy GCs.

HD 5670 is less heat and not that noisy? and also less consume power?

And also less performance, except for Far Cry, in which it beats the HD 4850. But you should still be able to get it to do 1920x1200 on some games, and it will easily do 1920x1200 on a lot of older games.

Guys, just want to inform if some of you don't know already.

ASUS 5750 1GB is having a promotion - RM399 only. Currently still available in CZONE. Someone on the forum told me (can't find back the thread, wanna thank him)...i grabbed one, and another guy grabbed one yesterday i think.

So better grab it fast if u r looking for this card...almost RM100 discount from previous price!

Other 5750 no price cut yet.

Good luck hunting.

thanks bro. i read the review you posted to me. those professional guys mentioned that in terms of performance 4850 bea 5670. i think i not that hardcore gamer but 4850 is cheaper than 5670. so i wonder if i buy 5670, does it support my purpose? those professional guy also mentioned that 5670 is good in terms of some addition features but only lose in performance. i really wonder which to get now.

One option is to wait for a few more months for the release of the HD 5670's HD 6000 successor and that card should settle any issues.

If you want something now, consider the games you intend to play and the monitor you're playing with. If it's only a 1280x1024, then the HD 5670 might be fine at maxing out any game on it. Or if your game is too heavy, you could always reduce the game screen resolution to something more bearable.

Then again, the noise of a HD 4850 might not actually be of any significance to your ears and you may have a good air-cond and fans to handle your cooling needs. Or the performance is good enough to justify the cons. It seems like a lot of people has this mindset, but a few have converted to prefer cool and quiet after dealing with a hot and noisy graphic card. Considering the price, it's not too costly to try this thinking and then decide on your preference for your next card, maybe a year later.

My two cents.

I saw it selling at RM379 in a booth in WCG the other day. Felt like grabbing one but that there would be no point since I got a 5850 already.

The 5970 is downclocked to satisfy some standard. You'll need to overclock it to get 2x5870 perf.

Very few people would benefit from it, and most might be tournament players. Also, the HD 5870 tends to hit above 60fps with maximum graphics quality for most games.

I'll go with average fps, as 30fps is my 'playable' minimum.

Do not concern yourself for the highest FPS possible, what you need to focus on is to minimize FPS drop from 60 frames.

55~60.1 fps is where you want to be first, that means when you play a game try the 'Video settings' that you could get that range of fps...after that when you feel like you want nicer eye-candy looking graphics, you could compromise fps..

Your 5870 needs 1920 X 1080 24" LCD for it to be satisfied laugh.gif
Plus your rig (from your sig) deserves a big monitor! ohmy.gif
My pairing of 5850 with AOC 24" is superb rclxms.gif

no im saying "im suprised that Dota needs some real graphics card to perform, not like the IGP HD4200 that i tested which resulted in not-so smooth gaming experience"

What is your gaming resolution? That's a very important piece of information that we're missing here.

QUOTE(law1777 @ Jul 23 2010, 11:34 AM)
what do u expect?? even with my rig as below.. any resolution on DOTA above 1280 x 1024 i can feel the not-so-smoothness. but games like return of warrior 3D mmorpg is very very smooth on 1920 x 1200

Perhaps you have a performance sapping virus/anti-virus running in the background?

Geforce GTX465 and Geforce GTX460 is overall weaker than the Radeon HD5850.
Geforce GTX470 is just like 5-10% better than a Radeon HD5850.
I don't see a point you change to Geforce GTX460 or Geforce GTX465. It's like a downgrade. doh.gif doh.gif

i guess that is true for stock GTX460, i dont think its the same with the super OC edition.. (and have to accept the fact that it is cheaper too)

so come on ATI, reduce the price, not the 5850, reduce the price of 5870 and 5970 hahahaha

By far, I think the 5850 has such an enormous headroom for OC'ing compared to any other cards I know...can OC more than 275mhz from it's stock clock (when you have aftermarket cooler) thumbup.gif

see if there is any artifact during gameplay or benchmarking
also see the temperature is it not too high or close to the acceptable temperature advised by ATI or pro reviewer

Won't be long. If Geforce GTX460 impacts the Radeon HD5870 Price Tag, then the Radeon HD6000 might too. tongue.gif

I didn't think the performance matters by now. Maybe in a few months time, the price of HD5850 (the former best bang for buck)will drop eventually if more people buy GTX460. The price gap between HD5870 and HD5850 will be huge and considering that it's the best single core card in HD5000's line, ATI will have no choice but to drop it's price to reduce the gap.

the reason price is not drop yet is bcoz demand still > production. in business term, no point reducing price, better mek max profit.
bcoz of the TSMC 40nm problem, ATI cant get all the fab dey want.
if ATI can get all the fab dey wan, production will skyrocket & price will fall.
dat is y moving to GF is a good thing. bcoz it let ATI increase production in the future.

Hope ATi don't do something as bullshitty as 'launching' a 5860 to bridge the gap between the 5850 and 5870 instead of just reduce the price of the 5870, ATi is generating reasonable revenues for the 5870 at it's current price, dropping it only possible if the production is more than the demands...but as you all know 5870 is in high demands worldwide despite it's price tag...

The 5830 is is the 'hot seat' for price reduction, the 5850 is 50/50 for a major price reduction, probably less than RM100... sad.gif

As for the 5770, not sure if it will get a decent price cut because from statistics, the 5770 has a pretty big demand in market, could be more than the 5850 because logically most people (moderate to average gamers, or within their budget, etc.) tends to get the 5770 because the 5850 is too pricey (the price gap is too wide)

Run a benchmark (e.g. 3D Mark Vantage, in-game benchmark like in RE5, Dirt2, Crysis, etc.) right now with your current driver and then later (tomorrow hopefully) update the driver and run a benchmark again to see any improvements. biggrin.gif

I hope for the stability first and performance gain second...but since Nvidia steps up the game with their new cards, it would be fitting to gain a bit of performance from the drivers for the ATi cards...
it's been over 8 months already that the 5 Series was launched, perhaps it's about time for the Catalyst Team to fully unleashed these cards.... hmm.gif Even the previously 4 Series didn't take this long to be fully unleashed... whistling.gif

The ATi Catalyst 10.7 WHQL is released just now.
Download it here, http://www.amd.com/my/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx

Sadly, it doesn't boost performance as it stated(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/Catalyst_107_release_notes.pdf).
But, I am wondering who can try this out.

I am waiting for TwL Modded Driver(latest driver based) instead. tongue.gif tongue.gif

Alright, had just ran a benchy with 3DMark Vantage. biggrin.gif
[Powercolor 5850 stock clock @ 725/1000 ]

10.3 (the first driver to leap in performance and stability) vs. 10.4 (best WHQL driver so far for the the Catalyst 10 series) vs. 10.7 (current up-to-date driver)
let's see the progression:

10.3
Attached Image

10.4
Attached Image

10.7
Attached Image

From this synthetic benchmark:
I'm reluctant to say that the Catalyst Team has 'hit the wall' in bringing out more performance from the 5 Series, but somehow it's inevitable to say that the results indicates them running out of ideas of how to 'boost up' the performance majorly...only about 200 points improved from Vantage isn't convincing data....at least I was expecting 15xxx points dry.gif

Downloaded 10.7 and its CCC is still as broke as 10.6
Whatever I do, CCC will refuse to load. Ever. Mom.exe will just pop up for 1sec or so and then disappears.

And my uninstalling of drivers has been the same as ever, uninstall > safe mode > driver sweeper + driver cleaner + cc cleaner > reboot > install new driver. It used to work for older versions back then unless there's a new uninstall method which I didn't get the memo for.

How do you guys get your CCC to work?

I installed and love the Modded CCC + Driver from TwL and didn't use CCC(after 10.4) to do the OC. Because it'll stuck at very high clock speeds and causing higher temperature. mad.gif vmad.gif

for me, I believe the update is not only to get the 3dmark score higher, but there must be some fix and update in other areas, so I'm sticking with 10.7 biggrin.gif

I tried reinstalling after the 4th time even downloading without using any download accelerators but still fails. On the fifth time, I just installed 10.7 driver only and used 10.4 CCC only and CCC finally launched.

It seems like 10.4's CCC is stable enough.

You can just try to install 10.7 driver only and then install 10.4's CCC.

Official drivers (WHQL) have to follow a certain protocol and regulation which prioritize stability & safety first before performance.
That's why 'unofficial' drivers always edge on the performance part, but the stability at your own discretion.
Unless the modded driver (the outmost unofficial driver out there tongue.gif ) which are multiply tested to perform at highest peak with stability.

Just like a Nissan Skyline with it's RB engine, official gotta capped at 180km/h due to regulations, but when unofficially modded can reach easily to 300km/h biggrin.gif

For that budget, you might want to think about the Radeon HD4850, I think for 2nd hand you can nego below RM300.
But better get a new one with full length warranty, only below RM330 but you'll be satisfied with it for the next 2 years.. thumbup.gif
Any low-end 5 Series isn't worth that budget, plus you don't really need DirectX11 at the moment. hmm.gif

Blurriness: What's the native res for your monitor? 720p or 1080p or 1080i?
Not an expert in monitors:
1) but I think you need to use the HDMI cable to hook onto your LCD to your card, see what does this do first,

2)Alternately you should set the 'HDTV support' on the Catalyst Control Center.
Ok, Open CCC > Go to Graphics, choose Desktops & Displays, then right click the bottom small monitor icon and click Configure> HDTV Support
At this point, try adding the desired format, fiddle around until you can remedy this problem.

Without DirectCompute, your card will find it erroneous to compute DIrectX 11 or can't properly process the shaders bro, I think you should clean re~install the drivers in Safe Mode...
Or probably just a major bug on the GPU-Z, regardless, do try to reinstall the driver...

I am using V10.7 now. Using HD5850.
I have the DirectCompute 5.0 Checked on TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.4.4.

Reinstall ur driver may help. Use driver sweeper in safe mode to make a proper clean.

Not sharp is caused by the resolution problem. In your case, not sure why it don't support 1920 x 1080. What catalyst version of driver u use? I used V10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and now 10.7.
I am also using hd5850 (with VGA cable + DVI Converter) and hook up to 32" at 1920 x 1080, the screen look very sharp. rclxms.gif
Try to play around with the resolution and try again. Update ur driver may help. sweat.gif

Just 'Right Click' anywhere on your Desktop and select 'Catalyst ™ Control Center' OR it's that red 'ATi' icon in your Tasksbar.
Remember to try both of my troubleshoots ( 1. try use HDMI cable and 2. fiddle with the Catalyst HDTV settings)

Regarding your V10.7 installer, where did u download? From http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx ?

Agreed with JoBigShow. We need the LCD spec and type. I have tried on Toshiba 32" LCD, the resolution supported is so limited. As for my Philips 32" LCD, on default already in nice and sharp resolution.

picture on the right is mine, while picture on the left is moshpit21's. At Driver Version, mine shows XP although I am running Win7 while his shows Win7.
I've uninstalled the driver again and using the OS standard vga driver, Gpuz shows Vista/Win7, but after installing the driver, Gpuz shows XP.

What seems to be the problem here?

But better get a new one with full length warranty, only below RM330 but you'll be satisfied with it for the next 2 years.. thumbup.gif
Any low-end  5 Series isn't worth that budget, plus you don't really need DirectX11 at the moment.  hmm.gif
Haha, I thought you gonna go for the 5870?  laugh.gif

hey guys regarding my DirectCompute problem..I saw something weird..
user posted image user posted image
picture on the right is mine, while picture on the left is moshpit21's. At Driver Version, mine shows XP although I am running Win7 while his shows Win7.
I've uninstalled the driver again and using the OS standard vga driver, Gpuz shows Vista/Win7, but after installing the driver, Gpuz shows XP.

What seems to be the problem here?
my mind's blown rclxub.gif

lol, i really thought you're still running on XP you know hahahahaha..

btw i recently downloaded the latest gpu-z, let me upload it again, there's some differences now as well..

nope wor, I am running w7 ulti x64.
I downloaded the driver for w7 x64..


Added on July 28, 2010, 6:33 pmuser posted image

update - I once again went through the whole process of doing a clean install of the driver and this time, Gpuz shows Win7 at Driver Version, but DirectCompute is still unchecked. What I noticed in all these screenshots is that, all the DirectX Support shows that it supports directx 11.

Can anyone help varify if DirectCompute is really working?

Yeah, I am reinstalling Bad Company 2 now. See how it goes. Planning to force set dx11 from its settings.ini.
Also found out something new while waiting for BC2 to be installed. The 4600series that you see is..desktop right click > resolution > advanced settings. But when I click on the Properties, it shows 5800series.. rclxub.gif

btw, how do u guys monitor your cpu temp?what software are u guys using?
thx for all d helps! rclxm9.gif

To monitor your CPU temp, you need to download: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1691/..._Temp_3.40.html
Once you installed the software, do drag the '.exe' file to : Start > Open Programs > Startup (folder) so you can start monitoring your cpu temp every time you started your PC.

Anyways, back the LCD issue, I've check your LG, and it's a pretty great LCD for it's price.

Now you need to initiated the 1920 X 1080 reso, before buying/getting an HDMI cable:
~do fiddle around with the LCD's Setting if there is an option to change resolution
~usually you change resolution from Windows & Catalyst, so open up Catalyst Control Center or right click on the Desktop an click 'Screen Resolution' to change it via OS.
In Catalyst, go to: Graphics > Desktop Properties to select your reso.

I think you don't need to get HDMI cable considering you haven't change the resolution settings yet, probably by default the reso is 1600 x 1200, so you need to set it to 1920 X 1080.

Nah, not noisy or too hot like the 9800GT, but for it's price, it's has good performance...so value for money.
Yeah, Low Yat Plaza want to clear stock so it's selling pretty cheap these days.

Back after trying out bad company 2 for awhile. Forced set the directx to 11 via setting.ini. So far, the gameplay is smooth, no hiccups or any sort.
So am I safe to assume that directx 11 is running as it should be?

Some screens. If dx11 is really running...

CPU temps depends on the cooler itself, stock cooler have high LOAD temps and mediocre IDLE temp.
Since you have a quad ( i5) there will be up to 3 proc you need to monitor.

For better cooling, you need to get aftermarket coolers. rclxms.gif

Alright, have you found this on Catalyst yet?

I've checked the CM 460 Ex specs, the rails are rated @ 18A with 312W. Not too bad for a '460W' PSU.
QUOTE
ATI rates the Radeon HD 5770 for 18W of power consumption at idle and 108W maximum board power at load

From that statement, you'll have decent headroom...meaning can overclock big~time, BUT only recommended for SINGLE card,
Cross-Firing is way too tight on the headroom hence needs higher wattage PSU if you plan to do so. (like 600W for safe and decent headroom)

Open CCC > Go to Graphics, choose Desktops & Displays, then right click the bottom small monitor icon and click Configure> HDTV Support

But I think you need the HDMI cable to get this sweat.gif
Just try anyways to see if there's similar settings for the VGA/DVI... (I forgot since I stop using D-sub VGA & DVI since I got my 5850 end of last year..)

Anyways there's quite a number of settings in Configure for you to fiddle around with, see if you can manage to set it to the right reso...

Great, it detects the proper reso for this monitor is 1920 X 1200, but now to get it to set it to that? hmm.gif

The HDMI cable will give you more options in Configure though, like 'Attributes', 'GPU Scaling', 'Scaling Options', 'HDTV Support', 'LCD Overdrive' and 'Pixel Format'.

With your screenshot, the only option is to tick and untick the EDID. sweat.gif

Indeed there's a miscommunication between your card and the LCD monitor, Catalyst is limited to rectify this, so what's left is your LCD Settings itself.
There's has to be an option in that LG to choose between inputs. I know my 32" Sharp LCD in the living room has this setting. (to choose from the analogue Astro input, or DVD digital input, etc.)

Still if you can't find the options, the last resort is to get a HDMI cable. (P.S.: No need to buy those expensive 1m Monster™ HDMI cable, save money and get an alright cable below RM40)

This is the latest benchmark (June 2010) done using all 4 top GCs in market today. I'm sorry if somebody posted this before, but just to highlight that this is one of the most conclusive review for time being.

I'm not a fanboy and I'm not saying ATI is winning currently, but only GTX460 (a tweaked G92 chip iinm) impressed me in the current GTX400 series cards.

Marketing~wise, the GTX460 scores points with the consumers because of it's price, value~per~performance.
I would have gotten the GTX460 over the 5850 if they were to be launched at the same time because the 5850 falls a bit high up the price range for most consumers (noted that majority of GC consumers aren't working/career folk with two to three iPhones)

But again, if you take every graphic cards and stack them up from low, mid to high end, the 5850 is still bang~for~the~bucks overall, it's balanced performance (pwned all mid~end cards and considered high-end) and price tag (lowest price of the high end cards...excluding 5970 because that card is considered above high~end)

Having said, it would be a big mistake if I were to choose the GTX460 over the 5850, because the fact of the matter is, the 5850 dwells in the High-End card category and the GTX460 only dreams to be there.. (that's why there has the OC and SOC Version) tongue.gif
So if you want a piece of a premium card and lowest of it's price, the 5850 still the choice...AT THE MOMENT that is... nod.gif


Anyways the review, I like the new method of testing the cards, it's more practical then just running those "auto-pilot" benchmarks...
So they are suggesting the HD5870 wins the round? whistling.gif

*
1) ATI made it possible for normal people to have High end card, while Nvidia quite frankly made the card for "watercoolers". Why? For the same money you buy a GTX480, you can actually purchase a HD5870+3rd party cooler. Better yet, if you got a good deal with your HD5870, you might end up having extra moolah for a 2nd hand physx card. Less heat, less power even after OCed, and less noise (with an option to add physx card).
Less heat and less noise with GTX480 equals to watercooling. NVIDIA knew they did a terrible card for normal users by producing GTX470, GTX480 and GTX465(utter failure).
Then GTX460 introduced......

GTX460 impressed me since Nvidia used the same chip as the 470/480, redefined it and found a more balanced solution in terms of performcance and business standing. It's an old chip tweaked to be a new chip iinm. It's not power hunger and we can't use it to fry eggs. Better yet, it has better temperature compare to HD5850 and the price is cheaper.

GF104 is the best answer for all that and if it can be the next "G92" for NVIDIA, (than I'll be more than happy to wait for the next Nvidia release.) The GC market will be as interesting as before. Just my 2 cents smile.gif

2)I love the review as well and loving the fact that HD5870 can close the gap with GTX480. But current crop of HD5k series card showed less to no improvement in their latest few CCC releases. That's disappointing. adeh~

Yeah, people sometimes got this flickering thingy with dual monitor.
Have you update to Catalyst 10.7?
According to the release notes, this issue should have been resolved with this driver update.

http://www2.ati.com/relnotes/catalyst_107_release_notes.pdf

If still having this issue with 10.7:
I'm not sure that this hotfix does the job, but do try it anyways and see if it fix your problem. nod.gif

http://www.mediafire.com/?5s3nxoe7s32j2e3

THIS IS CCC 10.7 HOTFIX CONSIDERING YOU ALREADY UPDATE THE DRIVER.
IF HAVEN'T YET UPDATE, GO TO: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx

Do report back if the problem still occurs bro..

Yup, the 10.5 is no where recommended to be used.
Ok, if you haven't encounter any issues, then just stick to the 10.4, these latest drivers are more into fixing stuff rather than performance boost.
Regardless, I'm using 10.7 now, I think is as good as the 10.4 but with additional bug fixes (e.g. VLC Player)

Just few improvements, but it's always recommended to update drivers to avoid any possible oncoming issues.
BTW, the 10.7 does a bit better compared to 10.6, only less than 10 minutes on the PC to update this driver, so go for it. biggrin.gif

VLC Player... been using that even before 8800GT was released and never encounter such problems with it. hmm.gif

Don't knowwhy the ATi Team makes such a fuss over it prior to the release of Catalyst 10.7. (could have done this since Catalyst 10.1)
I got the nagging feeling that they are running out of ideas of how to push the cards for more performance, thus trying to look "busy" when working on improving the VLC Player.

before this vlc uses the cpu to decode your videos,now with ccc 10.7,it uses your gpu to do the job.however this feature can already be used for a long time already by using media player classic homecinema

How is that happening? hmm.gif
At any rate you should be set the frequency to it's stock clocks.
BTW that's a good OC! thumbup.gif Now it is leveled as the 5870. laugh.gif

How you manage to stabilize it? I need to bump up the voltage to 1.15v (same as 5780 stock voltage) to get past 900mhz on my PC 5850.
Anyways, if you CAN'T get it fix via driver update (or any previous drivers), then it's for sure the VGA BIOS...

I think my bios is not up to date, cause I dont even know how to flash it and the guidelines seems confusing me >.<

I did download the 10.7 CCC. But i haven't tried installing it. Cause the "ahem" version of starcraft 2 is still..... u know lah hehe.

I will reinstall the driver once the "ahem" version is finished, should be by this afternoon.

But based on the release notes, I know that.

1) ATI is really focus quite alot on video decoder side.

2) Games performance seems lesser and lesser ( does it mean it has reached its limit? )

3) There are still a lot spaces for crossfire performance to be developed.

Thats wat I think. Any offend pls forgive me . sweat.gif

What card are you using?
1) Swapping DVI-D cables?
2) Swapping which DVI-D cables go to which ports on the back of the card?
3) Using a DVI-D and a DisplayPort cable?
4) Which operating systems you're using?
Have you tried it?

Any crashing other than that? How about connecting single monitor running only? Many reasons behind but most probably you need to update the latest drivers to see if it will fix the problems

AMD tops Nvidia in discrete GPU shipments

Advanced Micro Devices passed Nvidia in graphics chip shipments in the second quarter, according to a report from a marketing research firm on Wednesday, adding to Nvidia's woes.

AMD's ATI graphics unit took 51 percent of the standalone, or "discrete," graphics chip market compared to Nvidia's share that was just shy of 49 percent, according to Mercury Research, a Cave Creek, Arizona firm that tracks graphics chip shipments. This is a sharp reversal from the same period a year ago when Nvidia had about 59 percent of the market and AMD had just under 41 percent.

Total market figures for the second quarter of 2010 had Intel with a 54.3 percent share, AMD with 24.5 percent, and Nvidia with 19.8 percent. This, also, is a setback for Nvidia: in the second quarter of last year, Nvidia had a 29.6 percent share compared to AMD's 18.2 percent.

Nvidia warned Wednesday that revenue would fall short of earlier projections. The warning came a day after Apple moved its iMac and Mac Pro lines to AMD graphics chips, dropping Nvidia.

wondering how efficient would the cooler be..

My ASUS EAH5770 CUCore can reach max temps 78C idle-ing around 44C-46C @ stock voltage 1.2v

Now undervolted to 1.125v which normal 5770's voltage are set at.. max temps 72C idle-ing 44C-46C..

I wonder why ASUS set the voltage much higher.. the clocks Core/Memory are stock 5770 clocks.. hmm..

Would I run into any problems running it undervolted? not at stock 1.2v ?

i noticed dat from last ime, ASUS TOP version bios always has higher voltage compared to normal version of same card.

u can, & i do suggest u undervolt & underclock during idle.

Seriously 1.2V for the 5770 TOP... more than the 5850, only 1.087v at stock, and I even manage to stabilized it at 1.0v with stock clocks of 725/1000.
Isn't this card was suppose to shipped with engine/core voltage at 1.125V??? hmm.gif

Anyways, most owners bump up to 1.285v ~ 1.299v to be able to do 1000mhz (with 1400+mhz memory) clock with this card drool.gif
I don't recommend to past above 1.3v unless you have sufficient cooling though.

Yeah, sometimes undervolting/underclocking can be as good as overvolting/overclocking to see how low, or how 'green' can a card be operated at a stable condition.
I think you can undervolt a little bit more if you are concerned of the voltage, just keep in tab the stability of the card. nod.gif

undervolt should be safer. Because your card will need less power and produce less heat. only that you need to be careful when you overvolt cause you use more voltage and produce more heat

No.
When you do underclocked the card, do pay attention to such encounter with anomalies such as: black-screen (sound still available, but most of the time just black screen only), flickering, vertical lines, pc freezes, etc.
If not, then its' still stable. nod.gif I yes, just restart the PC and bump up an increment of voltage and see if stable.
But of course this would usually happen when the card in on full 3D mode when playing games...

Bro, I used to like to underclock gc and proc bcoz it tests the hardware of how low of the voltage needed to operate stably, plus can be environmentally friendly in the rig tongue.gif

Seriously 1.2V for the 5770 TOP... more than the 5850, only 1.087v at stock, and I even manage to stabilized it at 1.0v with stock clocks of 725/1000.
Isn't this card was suppose to shipped with engine/core voltage at 1.125V??? hmm.gif

Anyways, most owners bump up to 1.285v ~ 1.299v to be able to do 1000mhz (with 1400+mhz memory) clock with this card  drool.gif
I don't recommend to past above 1.3v unless you have sufficient cooling though.

Yeah, sometimes undervolting/underclocking can be as good as overvolting/overclocking to see how low, or how 'green' can a card be operated at a stable condition.
I think you can undervolt a little bit more if you are concerned of the voltage, just keep in tab the stability of the card.  nod.gif

Well I saw a review on the Asus EAH5770 CUCore its voltage is at 1.2V as well..

Anyways I already set it to 1.125V..

Really still disappointed with the driver.. BF:BC2 crashes when entering a server.. I have to retry about 3-5 times at least before I can enter a server.. vmad.gif

Do you always install updated drivers without clean installation every time?
Could be that after all these overlaps of registries (derived from multiple installation of drivers without cleaning out the previous drivers) could cause the new drivers and the "residues" of the old drivers to tangled up.
You should un-install the drivers in Safe Mode using software such as 'Driver Sweeper', 'Driver Cleaner Pro', etc. And then proceed with clean/fresh installation.

I'm not that convinced that 10.7 is the culprit of the problem since this driver works fine.
But if you did the clean installation but still fail, then you should opt for a previous driver than 10.7, like the 10.4. (But NO to 10.5, it's the worst driver so far)

AMD Rolls Out Catalyst 10.7a, Forces AA for Starcraft II Wings of Liberty
Barely a week after releasing the Catalyst 10.7 WHQL software suite, AMD rolled out the Catalyst 10.7a BETA. This new version packs all the features and fixes of Catalyst 10.7, with the added feature of letting users enable forced anti-aliasing for Starcraft II Wings of Liberty from Catalyst Control Center to improve image quality. The fix affects all ATI Radeon graphics processors from Radeon HD 2000 series to HD 5000 series, supporting all Windows client versions from Windows XP. The other added feature is improved 4-way CrossFireX performance in ATI Eyefinity setups.

Installed the Modded TwL(based on CCC 10.8 Beta) Driver flawlessly.
I didn't try the 3DMark Vantage on it yet.
About SC2, not sure if it can do "Force AA" on it. But, I don't care about the "Force AA" because the game itself doesn't have any AA settings to begin with. Cheer.
In addition, I read that after forcing the AA on SC2, the FPS will be dropped like hell too. Pointless. Let alone on the game itself is more than enough for me.

By the way, who tested the CCC 10.7a Beta? It's good?
I think that TwL will create a Driver based on CCC 10.7a Beta... hmm.gif hmm.gif
According to what TwL said, the CCC 10.7 WHQL have a very bad DX11 supports/performance. So, I think the TwL Modded CCC 10.8 Beta works best for me. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

They won't easily reduce price now.

AMD Overtakes Nvidia as Top Discrete Graphics Vendor. Advanced Micro Devices overtook Nvidia during the second quarter to become the top discrete graphics card vendor, according to market research firm Mercury Research.

Guys,
I installed 10.7 yesterday and I get this weird problem. When playinh SC2 the mouse icon will change. When you exit back to windows it will show small duplicates of mouse cursor ? When I move the cursor from Monitor A to Monitor B the cursor looks ok on Monitor B. Am wondering if anyone else i facing this problem. Might revert back to 10.6
