Title: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ? Post by: Transisto on June 23, 2011, 02:38:54 AM What would Sapphire send me to replace a 5850 with now that they're sold out ?
They're better not send me a 6850 ! Title: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ? Post by: Tx2000 on June 23, 2011, 02:46:25 AM GeForce 440 MX
:P Hard to say. Someone's experience might not exactly become your experience. Best thing to do is to contact them and ask what options are available. Title: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ? Post by: jjiimm_64 on June 23, 2011, 02:47:56 AM I have a couple of diamond 6850's. nice thing about them is you can overclock them to 990 stable. I am getting 287Mhash out of them

I am getting 287Mhash out of them Interesting, :'( Some are pulling 400Mhash from their 5850. Title: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ? Post by: ElectroGeek007 on June 23, 2011, 02:58:57 AM I am in the same boat, I have an XFX 5850 with a dead fan controller that I will RMA if they will let me. The Radeon 6950 seems to be the closest to the 5850 hash-wise, according to the wiki chart (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison)).

I see from the wiki that the 5850's are up to 390 my 5850 gets 420 MH/s stable, at 1.2 v. :PTitle: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ? Post by: jjiimm_64 on June 23, 2011, 03:11:02 AM I need to stop tuning these 2 rigs and go back to my primary (miner1) and see if I can squeeze out a couple of hundred more Mh. this guy claims to have his 5870's at 450Mh. with the same set up that I have (win7 )
5870 458 - - 1040 1600 2.1 PCI-E 2.0 x16 poclbm/Windows 7 64 -v -w 256 -f 1 Crossfired, Water cooled, 916 Mhash/s total. Best dual gpu setup me thinks? The name is Mautobu. the 1040 is the core clock. what is the 1600? (header says SP)? Title: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ? Post by: bcpokey on June 23, 2011, 03:16:52 AM SP is stream processors. 1600 s the number of them. its not that important, all 5870s are the same that way. 450MHash is reasonable wth 1040, i get about 440 MHash on my 5870 that can do 1000 stable, but i'm on air for most of my cards.

Oh, and my (reference) 5850 does 395MH/s stable @ 1000/180, My 5870, ~435MH/s @1000/344 ;D They do get a bit warm at those settings, though... Title: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ?

So if they can't produce a 5850/5870, then I wouldn't settle for anything less! Title: Re: what will Sapphire send if I RMA a 5850 ?

Quite possibly another 5850, I've noticed a few stores in Europe got their hands on another shipment of 5850 xtremes(overclockers.co.uk and Pixmania), they have a slightly different PCB design and seems to clock a bit higher (about 1cm longer PCB, PCI-e power on the side of the card rather than back.) Also there.s a slightly different heatsink on the VRMs. |
