Yes please, for 01 :)

test the card too in crossfire Luc, max GPU/RAM clocks might be a bit lower then... but the cards looked very promising on air

Need my REX HD ? so you won't need to reinstall everything from sratch besides the ATI drivers...

Are you using Afterburner for extra voltage?

Gamer 12th October 2009 21:13

Yep, tried 1050 on 1.3vgpu = crash.
Although temps are not above 60° ???

Trying 1.350vgpu now @ 1050 mhz, so far so good in first test on 3d06.

FAIL..
Screenfailure, blank screen but benchmark did go further resulting in low score.

Max settings now : 1.3vgpu/1025mhz for single GPU.

no 1025 on Crossfire, backing down to 1000 :(

If you use both CCC and MSI afterburner, second card goes back to stock.
So make sure all is ok when you use the MSI tool.

Single card : 20090 score with 3050 mhz on the Xeon.
CF : 20875
now let's see if this goes up with overclock on the cpu.

CPU at 3500mhz : 24188.
Hmm, strange ?

Massman 12th October 2009 22:16

Why strange?

Gamer 12th October 2009 22:17

That much improvement on 500mhz overclock ?
You could be right it's not strange :)

Massman 12th October 2009 22:18

Just one giant CPU bottleneck ;)

jmke 12th October 2009 22:21

Yup, HD 5870 alone is already borderline CPU bottlenecked even at 1920x1200 with AA/AF in most games, only Crysis Warhead DX10 VHQ can still stress the card and NEEDS CF to deliver playable FPS

benchmarks with resolution of 1280x1024? HD 5870 laughs at them :)
in CF you're completely CPU bottlenecked, you'll need Core i9 at 8Ghz to get a GPU bottleneck again :D

Gamer 12th October 2009 22:22

hmm, this cpu goes 80° stressed on 1.35vcore, crappy IHS :)

We should cool the cards with water, maybe 1100 on the core would be possible ?
