I installed these the other day and while I didn't play any games, all seemed okay. But I noticed my PC wasn't going to sleep anymore. On a...
nevermind, fixed my issue.
Why not trying to dump the orginal bios, and flash to a retail bios (if the card doesn't look much different hardware wise), or better yet, just...
Nah, it was stable in all games I played, and over 20 mins furmark. I just think changing anything affects other things, like stability. If it was...
If anyone is having stability problems when using these drivers, and they have overclocked cards, try re-tweaking everything. I found I need to...
Power play is pretty unstable for my 5970. It doesn't like to play well with overclocks when using eyefinity. after the displays go to sleep, and...
Direct links still work: http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/dvr_exe/ATI_8.69_Win7_Vista.zip...
Start with a clean operating system install. Install 9.12, then 9.12 hotfix over it, then the SDK. That's how I do it, and have no driver issues....
Only reason I mentioned CPU is cause CPU speed actually affects the GPU score. And I happen to have an i7. So I used that as a reference....
That's not too true either, cause its hit or miss with games. Depending on which side (nvidia/ati) spends more time optimizing for that particular...
you gotta keep in mind that a stock 5970 is aprox equivalent to 2x 5850's, not 5870's. Cause it is clocked down to meet PCIe power requirements....
I installed them over my 8.663.1_Beta5_Hemlock_VistaWin7_Nov11.exe for my 5970, and so far work fine. I launched Darkfall up, and no issues. I...
That is a DLL file in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Implementation\ That path is for 64 bit...
Well you can probably get around that a # of ways, since it mostly likely works by VID (Vender ID). Reverse engineer their program so it works...
They must have changed the file the link pointed to. Cause I grabbed it before posting. Here it is if you want to play with it. BTW, i meant 5970...
Since AMD made guru3d pull the overclock tool, and said they don't want it distributed, but venders are free to distribute it. I noticed that XFX...
Yeah, i figured they were somewhat conservative. But i think i rather keep it a little conservative, as i'd rather have efficency & stability over...
My score with my newly installed BFG 6800GT OC: 12,073 - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3111438 This is w/ no tweeks and at the...
Today i exchanged the card for a new one, and all is good now, no more gaps between the ram and heatsink pads. I had to hunt the cards down in...
hmm, well i uninstalled my drivers, used drive clean. installed the original driver BFG supplies with their board, and tried Rivatuner. pretty...
