Hello guys from o.c.net,
Im from Netherlands so my english grammar shall be bad ,but i try at my best.
I'm trying to overclock my Asus 5870v2 but not work properly .
First my Asus Smartdoctor tool not regonized my Amd catalyst 12.4 driver.
So i find a solution: on Asus site they have vga drivers ,but mine asus 5870 driver was very old.
So i go to 7970 driver and used that vga Asus driver that works aswell with Smartdoctor.
Because i need smartdoctor for voltage tuner.
There are 2 things i can overclock on my Gpu:
-Gpu clock
-Memory clock
I readed some Gpu o.c guides they say:
every gpu is different so it could be that some have with his same gpu higher Gpu clock/low mem and other low Gpu clock and higher mem clock overclock
Must first overclock Gpu clock till what max setting you can find then go further with the mem clock ,otherwise you not know wich of the two make problems.
And if i not get clock stable i can try to voltage increase to get maybe that extra little overclock.
So i started with my Asus 5870v2 (850-1200 default clocks):
Gpu clock 900 Mem clock 1250 i tried before without problems easy.
I started fresh 850 and 1200 ,but i cant get higher clock even with voltage increase then 900-1250
Without getting glitches hehe im not good at all in Gpu overclocken.
Some Questions:
Can i just set voltage tuner from default 1.211 to 1.3 from that find the good setting?
(1.3 is safe they say on many sites for my card if the temps let it be and it do )
A lot of sites they say use Furmark for overclocking your Gpu ,but i think Furmark do a unrealistic amount of heat ,so can i just use a benchmark like Heaven 3?
(to get the same stability test only more realistic then Furmark..)
Do you guys have some tips for me to get higher clock then this low overclock 900-1250 ?
I can overclock my Cpu's always very well on air ,but i think Gpu overclock is way different and a lot more diffecult
Hope someone help me out Greetz Michiel
