ah yes, a bit tired right now..... i need sleep before I fuck with this card
Note to self:
Never EVER buy multi-gpu piece of shit fail again. I have tried it more than a few times but man, microstuttering YAY. One of the cards probably going away, will keep the other as its secks on single GPU.

Hold on, its possibly a driver issue. *hopes for best*

weird... on all the forums I read about them, people were able to set up crossfire without issue.
lol maybe that extra crossfire bridge is making it fubar
hey panzer... what are your gpu sensors reading for clock speed. mine seemed to be stuck at 400MHz while its supposed to be 725, it stayed that way until i OC'd it to 752MHz. Now at idle it runs at 157 and in game 752. Dont know why it wouldn't leave 400 when at stock settings..... kinda annoying.
MSI afterburner seems to be reading better:
Idle:
Load:
gpuz at stock, in game:
EDIT: lol when i put the fan speed up to 50%, I can hear it down the hallway, in the kitchen, with the coffee maker going.
EDIT: At 80 its sounds like the wifeys hair dryer...lol

Well I just stumbled upon HD 5870 thread with similar issues. Will see how it turns out.Nic wrote:

Sensors read all 3 clockstates properly. IDLE - light load - LOAD
afaik the max fanspeed HD 5870 goes with default fan settings is 37%.

yeah 24% is the default max fan speed for 5850...
just to compare performance of 5850 and 5870's:
1 5850
1 5850
tbh the CF scales terribly bad in 3dmark. But looks like it scales pretty great in games.

ya... and i need a new proc.... And I will probably get another 5850 a year or so down the road... but the drivers will be much better then.
Any luck with the microstuttering? No point in buying two videocards if it's going to look like you're getting less FPS than with one
testing testing. Installing more games. Just had odd .avi video stuttering, reinstalled codecs and works again. Drivers must have had some incompatibility with my older codec pack. New works flawlessly again.Lucien wrote:
