| 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? |

| 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. Last edited by Gamer : 12th October 2009 at 21:22. |

| 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 ?

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

| 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

| 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 ? Last edited by Gamer : 12th October 2009 at 22:25. |
