Being the obsessed oveclocker I am, I decided to lookup the elusive 1ghz overclock for amd ati 5870 graphics cards.
Not that I achieved this but damn close, I flashed the following bios to my xfx amd ati 5870.
Asus.HD5870.1024.100311 and well erm stutter no more.
Especially when you are viewing the cutscences before each mission.
It seems its down to there voltage tweak and before some start flaming saying upping the voltage can solve this issue well its not so much as how much voltage the GPU on the graphics card PCB is using its how its managed.
At least this is how I understand it and under heavy strain on the going hunter battlefield 3 mission before take off, average fps was and is 60-65 or somewhere along those lines.
That's what I call the sweet point of all overclocks for this card and I use EVGA OC Scanner to double check my GPU overclock as well as stressing it out with stressful games such as Crysis 2 direct x11, high res textures which really tested the nuts off this GPU. More so then Battlefield 3 and no I didn't manage 1ghz on the core clock of my xfx amd ati 5870 but still a very decent overclock with the following clock speeds.
973 core clock speed and a memory clock speed of 1250 compared to my usual overclock of a 930 core clock speed and a memory clock speed of 1300. Maybe I need a water block to achieve a stable 1300 memory clock speed whilst having the core clock speed at 973.:lol:
