Asus 5870 Benchmark & Question
I got my shiny new Asus 5870 today and ran some benches you might be interested in reading.
Current setup
Q9550 @ 3.81ghz
4 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix 1142
Asus 5870 Stock
3DMark06 20,500
3DMark Vantage 14,896
I am having a problem though and hope someone can help as I have never owned an ATI card until today.
When the card is at stock settings it works flawlessly but when I overclock it even the slightest bit eg 5mhz I get weird figures come up from the core and memory sensors and a flickering on the screen.
I havent been able to get the flickering screenshot but this shows the core speed reducing etc.
I have noticed when the card isnt being utilised it underclocks it to a core of 400mhz to save power and reduce heat no doubt but when its not at the stock clocks the power save changes the clocks to stupid amounts.
Hope someone can help :)
