ya, there is no other way to solve the oc cap other than flashing hotfix bios.
google around might help you.

the newer batch of 3870 come with the latest bios which has no limit for oc.

you need to voltmod the card in order to clock it to 1ghz.
sniper69 used pencilmod to increase the vgpucore for that oc result.

how to check if the 3870 new batch o not? (w/o open the box)

takut mau flash bios ler...

i have no idea about that.
but i think HIS turbo edition should be 100% come with hotfix bios.

sagittaros, looks like the bios is the same.




how much can you oc?
what driver you use?
no crashing?

can anyone help?
my psu is acbel e2 510w, which I think the max output is 450w (450w true power)

Watercooling seems to be the way to go these days.

Cool and quiet.

Saphire card looks very good and probably perform just as well. Does that radiator has a fan? Doesn't seem so.

Thanks in advance

your psu is more than enough for your 3870.
what software you use to oc the card?

LOL, here's the link for Gigabyte Radeon HD3870 (512MB GDDR3)

http://www.giga-byte.com/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2735

read properly, stated that using GDDR3

I got Sapphire 3870 single slot version. Wish to compare to some other Sapphire 3870 dual slot cooling version's GPU-Z screen for bios and Subvendor version. Sapphire 3870 dual slot cooling version's owner mind to put the screen shot of GPU-Z screen?



I also want to know my current version's bios is with all hotfix?

My mobo and psu limits is almost going it's limits for this GC,if change,need to change the mobo & psu...even upgrade RAM
