RM849 for ASUS 6870 Voltage Tweak !!!! DAMN !!!!

link please

i think it was not dirt2 from that video.. it was the first dirt, no?

seeing the tom's chart, there is no reason for 5850 price to drop that much, since 5850 is easily to be OCed to 5870 performance.. correct me if i'm wrong????

quoted from tomshardware: " In this test, we see a notable gain from the Radeon HD 6850 overclock, but not much from the Radeon HD 6870's best effort."

So I assume in that chart, 6870 OCed at the best effort, So 5850 still win after all.

I'm thinking now AMD only giving out the 1120 shaders version of 6850 for review purpose.. great strategy if it is true lol (although unethical )

Is anyone here running 6870 CF? mind to share the 3dmark vantage P score? if possible running on stock clock. thx!

lucky me last time i bought my brand new XFX 5850 for RM 8XX only hahahaha.. ok butthurt people dont flame me please lol

Are you kidding me? bro do more research carefully, on stock clock 6870 is still slower than stock 5850. 6870 becomes SLIGHTLY better than stock 5850 after it is overclocked (yeah 6870 is not overclock friendly). But if you want to compare OC 6870 VS OC 5850, man 5850 win way too far, remember 5850 is overclockable to 5870 performance.

thx for the heads up, but what is the source of this chart?

here it is from tomshardware.com

Yeah I just did some reading, and its true i found out that on benchmark the 6870 is slightly higher than 5850 result.

And yes this is my XFX5850 3dmarkVantage result on stock clock:



I just realize if 6870 has really high GPU clock @900 !! so just for fun i set my 5850 both gpu and memory clock to the same clock as your 6870 and run the benchmark again:




so conclusion so far, 6870 stock is sightly higher than 5850 on benchmark. But in the game is different story, ask someone else to test it lol.

Not butthurt bro, just dont want to mislead people with some fracture facts.. As I know AVP really make use fully the VGA so testing the cards with this game is relevant. I don't think people in tomshardware simply choose that game either. I'm learning too here. on another note, I dont have reason to be butthurt since i bought my XFX 5850 brand new for RM 850 from a forumer here lol. lain cerita if i bought it @ RM1k+ why ah bro? you butthurt ah? lol

yeah btw I didnt show it in the 2 pictures i posted. Despite my 5850 is non-reference (cant change voltage), I only able to hit 915/1175 (score 19k) - but its just for benchmark purpose, i feel like running on that mentioned clock to play game for hours is torturing my card.

I believe those reference card can go higher than that easily

BTW I also have this from my previous Sapphire (non reference) 5830:





Anyone with 6850 wanna post up their score?

I'm not completely sure, but i think its true unless he plays GTA4

bro, the picture is too small :s
