Just stay under 70C in prime95 and you're all good :D
What's your current temps?

I took my 920 all the way to 4ghz but it made no difference on my score, so I dropped down to 3ghz. I might just set it back to stock settings because really I saw no benefit from it at all, and after monitoring CPU usage for everything else I do, there is no need to OC.

I got a 4911 on high with a 5870 with full GPU usage and little CPU load. I'll run again and take some screens.

**Celeras** · 2010-08-13 02:34

Shader clocks on Fermi cards are locked to the core, 1:2 ratio. Its really irrelevant regardless, its like asking why an i7 @ 2.8ghz is faster than your q6600 @ 3.0.

**Gulkeeva** · 2010-08-13 02:40

I7's are safe to run but best under 80C

50-60 = OC it!
70C = fine
80C = not good to run long periods of time
90C = dangerous/going to crash at some point
100C = boil some water n make coffee on your cpu

These are at load temps, right?

Also, here are the screens of my most recent benchmark on high.

Spoiler: show

That is actually my highest score yet, and that is after I took my CPU down from 4ghz back down to stock. The GPU is OC'ed as you can see though. I tried taking it to 1ghz but it glitched out almost immediately.

**Gulkeeva** · 2010-08-13 03:00

Hopefully on load, if your idling near 80C... somethings wrong haha

I got a crappy chip because no matter what I try I can't get 4ghz without it reaching 80C load in prime95. Not new to OCing either. But I never keep a CPU for more than 2-3 years so even if I'm cutting its lifetime in half, doesn't really matter to me.

Say it's to last 10 years, say with my abusive temps it'd last 5, but I upgrade after 2-3 years, so yeah.

I got D3DOverrider and it lets you force it on directx, I used it for assassin's creed II and it worked well. I get alot of split second fps hiccups in that game, I'll be at 70+, drop to 40-something for a split second then go back up to 70, with the games in-game vsync it made my fps annoyingly low, with triple buffering I'm always 55-60 which is perfect.

The weird thing is, I thought with normal vsync fps could only be 60-30-15-etc. but I get ~46fps with normal vsync.

260 beating the 460?

So if I can trust that test I can definitely go for 5770 1GB instead of GTX 460 768MB? Also 5770 is ~40e cheaper.

Is there any other test between 5770 1gb and 460 768Mb?

Which one I should go? I'm building new computer for this game. And I use 1920x1200 resolution and maybe second 19" monitor.

I would wait before picking the 5770 over a 460, as the 460 is a good bit faster than the 5770 in essentially every other test. This points to some funky shit going on with nvidia/se/drivers. If you have to order now, then shit I dunno what to tell you.

I gambled with the 460 myself lol.

XFX cards have been on sale alot on newegg lately, they had a 5850 with -$50 off a few weeks ago, which made it only $20-30 more expensive than a 460 1GB.

**Celeras** · 2010-08-13 06:48

460 is faster than a 5850 most of the time, let alone a 5770.

Also, glad I did my testing when I did. Seems like we're capped at 60 FPS now.

**Celeras** · 2010-08-13 07:27

Temperatures still outrageous when GPU gets to full load. Lowering the cap seems like a bandaid fix for this since you probably need AA/AO settings to get there now.

Hope it doesnt cause the feedback to go away, it's still a major issue.

**Kat** · 2010-08-13 07:40

This is for the new PC I just made.

CPU: I7 930 @ 3.885 GHz (My everyday stable OC)
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon 5870 Super Overclock 1GB
RAM: 12 GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz 7-8-7-20, running at @1480MHz
HDD: 10000rpm 600GB Western Digital Velociraptor

High: 5318

I'm just not gonna play it anymore

. 25fps is not worth having a fan blast my eardrums constantly.

Well... if you aren't... PM? :D

**Isla** · 2010-08-13 08:25

Nice voltage for your processor - should take it higher!

Also, we need to stop having the fanboism with video cards running rampant around here. Cel - I'm not sure where you get your info talking about how Nvidia cards are better than their ATI counterparts. The only one I see that is consistently better is the GTX480>5870 but the 460/470 is not better than that 5850/5870 at all except maybe in metro. The truth is that Nvidia and ATI cards trade blows but you can't sit here and say that 460 and 470 are a good deal better than a 5850/5870 consistently.

Here is recent read-up about the DX11 games being benched by a plethora of cards

Thanks Isla

I'm happy where it is for now though

My scores at different cpu clocks were

2933MHz- 5090 & 6022
3300MHz- 5241 & 6578
3800MHz- 5285 & 7446
3885MHz- 5318 & 7524

Definitely at my GPU bottleneck

But will buy another Gigabyte 5870 S-OC when the price comes down
