hello beauty

woops wtf is this ... no OpenCL???
she's according pretty well to the color scheme

also pretty much silent out of the box

Did you download drivers with openCL included in the driver package.

yep yep i pretty much figured that (aka its what i do now ) time to put to rest that 480 even if i can use my 7950 the 7870 does just fine and i dont feel to put it in the mITX build... i could re use the 480 in the linux rig but the 460 Hawk is more quiet naahhh whatever!

much better isnt it?

lets have a good laugh
Nvidia you said? 670 and above for ultra mode? the 480 where running it just fine (43ish fps) now lets work around that ...

my only concern is : during the loading i hear a coil whine but i was expecting that

yes its in ultra mode ... 39-46fps (i wonder why my afterburner OSD doesnt show when i prnt scrn)

for the xXxth time since 1999 "bye Nvidia, hello AMD/ATI!" i cant say im a fanboy or one or the other brand inclined... for GPU at last

now ... dear AMD ... pweety pweese DO THE SAME FOR RUBY AGAIN!!!!!! "TressFX"


ahahah judging by the Coil whine i was right its one of those "crap cap" 7870 who need a underclock/undervolt to avoid the black screen phenomenon, reducing the core clock or the coreV reduce the whine intensity and stabilise the card.

ok i solved most of the "problems" firstly i put some HS over the ramchip (not on the power phase since the odd layout make it more complicated)

and sincei where at it i changed the TIM for my usual MX4 (on that pics we see power phase covered by the HS but i removed them)

most of the chip are fully covered except 2 who are shifted a bit to accomodate the gpu HS and 2 without HS due to the heatpipes covering them.

frontside

second: it needed to UV from 1231 to 1100mV to stabilize now it doesnt Black Screen at 1ghz and the ram can be OC (before just 5% ram OC resulted in artifacting then BS )

hey bub would it be plausible to use akasa shinetsu thermal pads on the 2 exposed chips to give contact to the 2 heatpipes so you dont have a gap there. along with the partially exposed chips?

it goes without saying.

i did think about that... but for the time being i leave it like that (end of month are ... difficult... specially the 30 last days(tm) )

Well I'd like to join I have a lovely couple holding hands in my PC (that's 2 HD7850' in crossfire)

 

[Peter1986C]

[shovenose]

I have:
-Radeon HD 6570 2GB Sapphire in HTPC with passive cooler from a random old HD5450
-2x Radeon HD 7770 1GB VisionTek in CrossFire
-1x Radeon 7930 (7870XT) 2GB PowerColor

 

[Athlonite]

oh I almost forgot I also have a pair of HD5770's with modded fans because the originals became noisy and I tried to re-lube them only to find out there wasn't any way of doing that

and I'll name n shame the makers of the fans and the cards because of there total lack of support

Fans made by: Zunshan
cards made by: HIS

and the other one

both cards are still working fine and actually are cooler with the modded fans

ummm to the wrong list they're HD5770's not HD7750's although it would be nice
