If you guys want to OC above overdrive's limitations try the below tool-

Works fine. I've made it to 935|1300 and don't think it's going further without voltage tweaks.

Here is an interesting read on PCI-e scaling with the 5870. Basically for folks with P35/P45 you can run a second Nvidia card for physx in exchange for 1 FPS!!

running card always.

**mailman2** · 10-04-09, 03:52 PM

I updated idle temps, with CCC open it jumps to 3d clock speeds. Now it's correct.
