deathstalker, did you try changing pci-e slot like diegooo said? One of them is 16x and one is 8x, switch the card around and see what happens.

 

I do think it's mostly the stock cpu at fault however.

Sorry to bump this guys, i cant belive i forgot to mention this. I have a POS Raidmax 630 watt PSU, Possible that could be my problem? No crashes or anything but maybe not getting enough power to perform 100%?



Your power supply is not a problem. I have a cooler master 620w and I'm running with ati5870 for graphics and nividia 8600gt for physics. so the problem is else where. You have 2 things to try imho. One is to change the pci-e slot, and the other is to delete registry ati entries. It' s rare but it can be a bug where you have set antialias manual from driver and it's locked there.
I have solve just by changing slot btw.

I got around 18k using 3dmark06. Sounds wrong to me...

 

That does seem low, but I scored just under 19K on 3DMARK06 with an i7 920 @ 3.7GHz and (1) GTX 260 Core 216. I would overclock your CPU a little and you should see some improvements. With 2 GPUs I get just under 25K, and I would think you should be closer to that score.

It definitely sounds like some driver issues. I also scored around 15.5K With stock i7 920 and stock GPU speeds for further reference.

I was on same boat as you were scoring 13xxx on GPU until I changed the driver to 9.10beta (8.66R6) and obtained the following: GPU/15808 and CPU/11585 and total P14488 which is pretty inline with reviews and everyone else on the web!

With following setup:
CPU: Phenom II 955 @ 3.4Ghz (Stock cooler!)
RAM: OCZ 6GB DDR1333 6-6-6-18 T1 1.65v - Dual Channel Unganged (You read that right).
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB (Thanks again Sniper!) <= Default Clocks
GPU Driver: 8.66R6 (9.10 Beta) - (Used to use the one that came with CD but it was crap giving me 13900 GPU Score)
Vantage: Performance Setting
OS: Windows 7

K, i have come to the conclusion that it's my stock CPU. I have a biostar 790gx 128m mobo. Anyone fimiliar with this bios and could give me a little bit of help with OC'ing on this board?

Check out the overclocking Sticky in the overclocking section. That should help get you started. If you have more questions after you read through it, feel free to ask us more in depth questions. Good luck.

Ok, i got it stable at 3.2 but going any higher and my cpu says :non: My issue is with heat (stock cooler). Can you recomend a good HSF? Also in my bios i cant change my core voltage. but by bumping my overvoltage i had it stable at 3.5 but with the heat it's not a option to keep it there at the moment. Am i doing the right thing by bumping my overvoltage to get it stable? I'm pretty new to overclocking so its alot of trial and error on my part

Here is my 5850 overclocked to 5870 speeds. I'm still missing the extra shaders of course.

You clearly have something else amiss in your system.

Yeah i see this, In your opinion should i RMA the card and see if thats my problem? OR are my problems most likely not caused by a bad card? I dunno where to go from here.

OK, the new drivers on ATI's website seem to have fixed my problem. i scored a 15.1k (GPU) in Vantage this morning! I should be right where i want considering im still only on a phenom 920 @3.1. My score sounds about right correct?

Thanks everyone who helped me, it's really appreciated!

Yes that looks about right. Always assume drivers are wrong first, glad the new ones seem to have fixed it.

That's a pretty decent score considering. I've got a 5870 with an i7 920. At stock speeds I was getting a 3dmark vantage score of about 14k. I'm now overclocked on the i7 to 4ghz and have flashed my card's bios to the Asus bios so I can unlock it and use MSI's afterburner to overclock it. That's now running at 1000mhz core/1300(5200)mhz memory (@1.3v). Getting 21,299 now in Vantage which was a nice improvement. Got my old nVidia 9600GT in there too for the physx which helped bump the CPU scores (18,363 GPU and 40,943 CPU as you can see below) :D

I would say your not too far off. With the CCC setup for everything forced to max, 8x AA, 16x AF, vsync on (i suspect 3dmark overrides these settings?) - my stock clocks i5 with a non o/c 5870 ran about 19k on 3Dmark06, o/c the i5 to 3.6 gave me about 22k, all the scores went up not just the CPU. I have the 9.10 drivers.

Hmm I am running very low scores as well, and i have 5870 X 2!! WTF? Im getting 19000 scores running in crossfire. Is it something to do with windows 7? Im comparing scores on the site and some people with the same setup are getting 47K?? I understand they are overclocking, but still?

System:

i7 950 Processor
MSI Eclipse Plus Mobo
Sapphire radeon 5870 X 2 in crossfire
OCZ 6G DDR 3 1600
Corsair HX1000W power supply
Coolermaster v8 on the cpu
Coolermaster HAF32 case

HELP! lol
