Hey all,

Just upgrade my system (see rig below) and ran my first bench. Score wasn't great (P3580 3DMarks) but something that puzzled me is what the engine and GPU clock are showing. 3DMark showed them to be 100 / 150 as did AMD Vision (I don't use it- just now noticed it was installed actually) and it shows the same thing.

http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2410727

I bought the GV-R685OC-1GD which is supposed to be factory OC'd to 820 / 4200. (Chipset: Radeon HD6850 Engine Clock: 820 MHz Video Memory: 1GB DDR5 Memory Clock: 4200 MHz)

Am I reading something wrong, is something actually wrong or what??? questionmark.gif

I'm using a beta driver from Guru but BF3 seems to run fine on ultra and Fallout 3 and New Vegas both ran fine on Ultra too. I'm just confused by the numbers.

Thanks,
Rik

Lol what you are seeing is the gpu not being used going to 2D clocks. My 6850's also do that, one stays at 100/150 while the other at 300/300.
Thats their 2D clocks, unless its a game they will stay at that clock.

Ok- that makes sense I suppose but I would think that the benchmark would read it as such. That would explain why games run ok. I just had this faint hope that I really was that low and some how had a LOT of headroom to increase settings LOL!

Thanks for the clarification.

My HD6850 HDMI works fine when plugged directly into my LCD TV, but if I connect it to my home theater receiver's HDMI input I get nothing, either the receiver or the card doesn't recognize that there is a connection. Is there any work arounds for this (the receiver is a Marantz SR5002 HMDI v1.1.)

Your receiver is not compatible with the card HDMI 1.4a, your receiver is HDMI 1.1.

Anyone running x16/x4 6850s? Just got a new 1080P 23" Monitor and well it seems a bit choppy(BF3 MP). ?, is this due to a CPU(1055T @ 3.5GHz) bottleneck or x4 pcie slot?

The stutter or micro-sturtter is unavoidable if the cards are running at x16/x4 or x8/x4. Your CPU has notuhing to do with the stutter.

Just got the Sapphire 6850 today and threw it in my new rig. Cannot get it to work, tested with my old card and a friends (NVIDIA 7800 GT and NVIDIA 250 GTS) and it worked just fine. I started thinking it was definitely a problem with my card until I tossed it into one of the other rigs and it worked no problem (Asus board). Does anyone know whats wrong/how to fix? I am out of ideas (have tried resetting cmos and triple checked the power)

Specs:
ASRock p67 Extreme4 Gen3
4x4 Gigs 1600 ram
i5-2500k, 3.3 GHz

Nope all I ended up doing was rebooting the computer and the receiver picked up the card.
