So apparently it is a heat issue.

Apart from taking care of dust, check if perhaps you need more exhaust fans in the case. You said you have two 120mm blowing on the GPU -- do you have any other fans blowing out of the case apart from that of the PSU?

2 120 mm exhaust. 3 120 intakes (2 onto the GPU). I will do some cleaning, hopefully it will help.

Yo bro, do you get much microstuttering with your Xfire setup?:eek: Would you recommend a Qaudfire setup?:D

Well not at all except Splinter Cell but i think that was much more than microstuttering. :laugh: :laugh: Quadfire is awesome! You planning on going 4x 5870s? :respect:

Is it possible to have more than 4 cards in a PC? Maybe have Hexafire or Octafire. :laugh::laugh:

Hi guys
i recently brought a 5970 XFX BE
with a GA-MA790XT-UD4P and a 1055T @ 4ghz
so im wondering if these scores are ok?
in 3d mark vantage drivers 10.5

GPu score 23129
CPu score 19763

if their not any way i can make them better? i think the card is over clocked to 900 core 1125 mem or something around that

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

My XFX 5970 is defective. BC2 starts to crash so often (a lot more than usual) so I ran furmark at stock speed. My comp would crash in like 2 minutes and the GPU fan blowing at 100% until I hard reset it. 2D mode is unaffected. I hope XFX have reserve to exchange for this.

I have the same problem in 2D & 3D:

XFX 5970 BE
HX1000W
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Catalyst 10.5

Upgraded to 10.5 and started with gray screens. Edit my profile increasing the speed in 2D and started this new problem. I went back to 10.4 (unninstall and Driver Sweeper) and so far, so good...

Sorry for my english...

10.5 are hit and miss. The higher locked clocks don't bother me, but now I get issues with my DP connected monitor going into sleep.

You're still an honorary ex-member ;) :)

I just installed 10.5
The proper way - uninstalled 10.4 - booted in safe mode - ran driver sweeper - rebooted - installed 10.5

Now my idle clocks are once again back to 157/300

Hockster you mentioned higher locked clocks :confused:

Gah nevermind, I started getting teh Measles again!
Twice driver stopped responding while typing this post! :mad:

Make that 3 times just now :banghead:

Off to do erocker's fix to up the 2D clocks before I go crazy! :mad::banghead:

Edit: Wtf this is crazy?


I haven't changed anything yet
from profiles but the 10.5 says my 2D should be at at 400/1010 whereas they are at 157/300 :confused: :wtf:




Edit

Changing 400 to 300 worked for the GPU, I could downclock the 2D gpu clock.
But now there's no way I can downclock the 2D memory. It either remains at 1010 or I have to downclock the 3D mem as well, which is not something I want to do.



Guess I'm going back to 10.4 :ohwell:

Higher clocks are supposed to be for multi monitor setups, but a lot of people with a single monitor get them as well.

I actually like the higher locked clocks as off momitor flickering was retarded sometimes when a game would be loading a map or cut scene.

I've given up on Afterburner, it completely disables Xfire in game functions, and Asus Smart Doctor is one of the ugliest software interfaces ever. All I use now are CCC profiles. One for stock, and three different fans speeds and OC values. My card hits 850/1200 at stock volts and I'm damned content running at that speed in demeanding games. Only other "tweak" I use is completely disabling ULPS in the registry. Leaving it enabled causes Everest to lock the system up solid. Lavalys knows, but have been completely unsuccessful getting AMD to work with them on the issue.

@ CHAOS KILLA - I'm using the original bios my Sapphire came with.
__________________________________________

Either I was really tired yesterday night or that 10.5 is nothing more than a virus :laugh:

I just couldn't get rid of it.
Trying to uninstall it from the control panel kept giving me a blue screen 'atipmdag' or something.

I even tried system restore which didn't work either :confused: perhaps because I had used driver sweeper?

Trying to install 10.4 was unsuccessful - it kept quitting on me saying driver and CCC were already installed and updated :twitch:

To navigate, I had to run a small window with Furmark in the background to keep the clocks at 735/1010 otherwise I kept crashing constantly. :wtf:

Finally, doing an oldish system restore to 28th May I think, enabled me to uninstall 10.5 and get rid of it.

Lol then I went to sleep. My desktop is still driver-less (I hope) now, when I go back home I'll boot in safe mode run driver sweeper 99 times then driver cleaner pro another 99 times :laugh: and hopefully manage to install 10.4

D'oh! Crazy sh...

@ BP- I think you should nuke the registry for any ATI related keys and go from there. Usually works well for me after driver sweeper but you should remember to remove the backups from driver sweeper as well.

Either way 10.5 have been stable for me although I haven't been gaming that much since installing them. My GPUs are still using the low idle clocks. I did have a strange issue after installing 10.5 where my card would default to 50% fan speed in Overdrive even though it was still locked and grayed out. I had to unlock and disable Overdrive to get an acceptable fan speed.

Yeah that 5970 price is awesome. Kinda cheaper than in the US :rockout: Just get 3x 5970s for the fun of it :p



Fixed error :p

Yeah I bet they are cheaper, the HD5970's are normally around $950 - $1050 down under:shadedshu:shadedshu:laugh::laugh: screw that.

Fixed error, oh your a chick:p:p:eek::eek:

@ CHAOS KILLA - I'm using the original bios my Sapphire came with.

Either I was really tired yesterday night or that 10.5 is nothing more than a virus :laugh:

I just couldn't get rid of it.
Trying to uninstall it from the control panel kept giving me a blue screen 'ati2dvag' or something.

I even tried system restore which didn't work either :confused: perhaps because I had used driver sweeper?

Trying to install 10.4 was unsuccessful - it kept quitting on me saying driver and CCC were already installed and updated :twitch:

To navigate, I had to run a small window with Furmark in the background to keep the clocks at 735/1010 otherwise I kept crashing constantly. :wtf:

Finally, doing an oldish system restore to 28th May I think, enabled me to uninstall 10.5 and get rid of it.

Lol then I went to sleep. My desktop is still driver-less (I hope) now, when I go back home I'll boot in safe mode run driver sweeper 99 times then driver cleaner pro another 99 times :laugh: and hopefully manage to install 10.4

D'oh! Crazy sh...

Ah ok cool, just looking at your CCC panel your GPU & memory clocks can go pretty high thats all:toast:

Oh yeah, does anyone know wat the 10.5 drivers even did, to me they are exactly the same as 10.4 but alot more issues for ppl:banghead::banghead::confused:

@ BP- I think you should nuke the registry for any ATI related keys and go from there. Usually works well for me after driver sweeper but you should remember to remove the backups from driver sweeper as well.

Either way 10.5 have been stable for me although I haven't been gaming that much since installing them. My GPUs are still using the low idle clocks. I did have a strange issue after installing 10.5 where my card would default to 50% fan speed in Overdrive even though it was still locked and grayed out. I had to unlock and disable Overdrive to get an acceptable fan speed.

No thanks! :laugh:

I've finally managed to get back to 10.4

Here's some shots of my woes...


This was after I ran both Driver Sweeper and Driver Cleaner Pro in safe mode.
I went through the CP, and found that the 5970 still had "a driver"


After that, I uninstalled that driver from CP, rebooted and got this :wtf: i.e. before I could do anything it appeared I still had something which enabled the pc to automatically load some driver and I couldn't cancel the procedure.



After that I went into my HD directory and then into Program Files and Program Files (x86) and savagly deleted any file I found which started with the letters ATI...
And then ran Driver Sweeper and Driver Cleaner again...
Rebooted, started to install the 10.4 then the icon in the taskbar started up again trying to load up some driver :confused: getting this:


Thankfully this time it did work after cancelling all 'restart your computer' and 'found new hardware' notifications. :respect:

Rebooted again, went to CCC, created a profile, found the .xml, set 2D clocks once again to 300/550 and my 5970 is working flawlessly once again.
*whew*

I swear I'll never be downloading an ATI driver again before I see at least 20 posts from different people saying how awesome the driver is, and zero posts saying they had some issue however minor it is!

In Win7 I've never seen Windows try to auto install MS drivers for my GPUs but it did happen in Vista like you see there.

Hey good luck! :toast:

About the driver, it's not bad as it seems actually.
What was weird in my case is that instead of getting the immediately high 2D clocks of 400/1010 I got the old low 2D clocks of 157/300.

And my card's iffy. It just refuses to work at 157/300. Period. I'd start getting blue and red dots all over the monitor followed by freezing and followed by a blank (white, grey or green) screen before the driver starts responding again.

At one time I was thinking of rma'ing the card. But after discovering how to increase the 2D clocks by making a profile for them I thought it'd be stupid to rma if my card worked flawlessly with 2D clocks at 300/500 :ohwell:

For someone with an iffy card like mine and who doesn't know how to increase the 2D clocks, I guess the 10.5 would solve all problems because no measles/GSODs would happen at 400/1000 (or 400/1010 if it's a oc sapphire).

Tbh the 10.5 functioned fine once I installed it - but I didn't want my memory to run at full speed all the time so I decided to uninstall.... and that's where the problems started! :laugh:

BP, since i bought a 5850 and made a CF with the 5970, never had any issue again with driver stopped working and such, since the 5850 handles all the video output. And gaming performance has been awesome, if you don't know where your next upgrade is, i recommend
