Excellent Just got one Asus myself, will try it soon.

:)these cards are really hard to bench ,if you get a card with good ram´s/mem controller then you will have good efficiency! will see that:)

actually cpu freq limitted some my submision like 2k6 , 2k5 and aqua ..but i will give a try with cpu under my cascade , actually work in progress!!!

Does not need vmem mod? I see chips on mine are Qimonda.

mine also Qimonda,( the old infineon) don´t required Vmod ...because no scalling with volts , need reverse vmod:D

Ok, looks bad on stock - 800/1130. Will see if it scales.

Stock bios has the pll bug and I can't find another working bios The card is Asus HD3850 512MB non-ref. Bioses from ref cards give me message to connect power cable and other 3 newer asus bioses don't work correctly.

 

I assume all VER010.068.000.002.027052 has the pll bug, while it is fixed in the 010.076.000.001.027551 versions, but none of them is for my card.

i had same problem with Asus HD3870 TOP , i have no PLL bios ..and card are limited at 1100mhz and ram 1250mhz, even this vard has Samsung 0.8ns ram ic´s ...i´m dissipointed

My Sapphire HD 3870 "Extreme" are both good, but this 3850 I got dirt cheap and thought it wouldn't hurt if I try. Oh boy, was I wrong...

It's useless without PLL-mod bios, limited to ~860MHz on the core. Mems does not scale with voltage, ofcourse.

i told you , Qimonda no scalling with volts ..not only on RV670 , almost all cards that it had( nvidia aswell)..only isolated case , so i´m in same problem like you with my HD3870TOP , so i will give a try with another card , this time with reference ofcourse:D

 

 

Yes, I know about those Qimonda, but I've also had cards with scaling Qimonda's, so I had some hope
