Radeon Evergreen Islands Club (HD 5xxx/6xxx/7xxx/8xxx)

PCB most likely is reference, cooler is different. Your description (noisy) mislead me. :lol:

 

[Widjaja]

Probably the lighting. Sideways directional lighting that is not that strong leads to stuff like that, esp. with mobile phone cams.

Yes the lighting was coming in from sideways.
The digital camera I bought is a Sony DSC-S950 and I did not read the reviews on it before purchasing.

 

[Peter1986C]

Almost all cameras have that issue, just make sure you add a light source when taking a picture inside the house.

Hello everybody....I have a HD6950 it is very much unlockable.... Have head it unlocked for over a year as HD6970 have switched the BIOS a few times with the HIS unlocked shaders bios to test it out and I've noticed a gain of about.....lol well I have it with 6970 BIOS for a good reason....Anyways that was my way of saying HI! Me wants in the club.

 

[Super XP]

Add me too, my HD 6970 is running great. Though I may upgrade it when the HD 8900's come out.

 

[Peter1986C]

Welcome guys.

Yea, actually it's not that bad compared to the 5870 at 50% fan speed, at 100% it's almost unusable.

The PC I have the 6850 in has an OCZ Vendetta CPU cooler with a very loud fan, so I think I'm just hearing that. Been meaning to rig a 120mm fan on the CPU cooler to tone it down.

Well as it seems does the Catalyst 12.11 driver package miracles for the S. Islands cards, so that means that it may be about time for me tow continue my work on the setup of hour mass-mark.
I will do so friday-ish, I think.

[3870x2]

I have a sapphire 7950 coming in tomorrow, I guess you can add me to the he-man nvidia-haters club.

Any chance of flashing it to a 7970?¿

 

[Peter1986C]

You have been added guys.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

nope 7950 cant be flashed to 7970 sadly. altho reference 7970s can be flashed to 7970 Ghz editions which offer good clocking since the gpu bios ups volts to 1.25 which allows most to push nearly 1200+ on the core. If i had a reference card its what i would do.

Not much need to I guess, the 7950 maxes everything out there, especially with the new 12.11 drivers.

Add me in again with a 7850 also.

So I have :
XFX Double D 6850
Visiontek 6850
Visiontek 7850.

All three crunching for WCG.

OK, adjusted the OP. But didn't you have a 6670 as well?

Nice that there is a difference in 3DMark. Normally there is not much of an increase with that prog AFAIK.

 

[3870x2]

Just received my 7950 and holy shit.

First thing I did was Crysis 2 maxed, and it dispatched that with no problem.

It was still at the stock clocks (850 i believe) but has the boost technology. This was also done with my pii 945 without the overclock, and without the optimized drivers (yet).

Only two HD 5770 owners? Time to increase that to three.

Sapphire ATi Radeon HD 5770 (SKU# 11163-02)

 

[Peter1986C]

Added you too, JP. Nicely looking card.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Note: Posting 3DMark Vantage benchies is of course appreciated, but because we haven't yet standardised and "scientificised" () the benchmarks this is not having much of a point. I shall post info about this later (we especially have to see to deal with the difference in resolutions and the fact that the basic version of 3DMark don't allow for resolution changes makes it tricky for me to do this in 5 mins so I will come back to you later).

probably best to use default freebie version settings and card drivers settings all on default, and id go for vantage ,3dmark11 and sisoft sandra ,just my 2pence

thanks for adding me btw

No 6770 for me. I did have a 5770 but it got traded.
