Radeon HD 5870 high idle clocks using Catalyst 10.5-10.7

---

GudPm mga ATI 5xxx series users! Share lng nko akong experience with different Catalyst drivers. Im currently using Sapphire HD 5870 1GB now with Catalyst 10.4..no probs. 157/300 xa if idle ra. But when I tried using Catalyst 10.5 to 10.7...pirmi 600/900 akng idle clocks..idle state ang PC. GPU/Memory clocks are @default, 850/1200Mhz, Overdrive enabled, fan speed @ 42%. Any idea why ingani xa? Usual driver uninstallation rko in Add/Remove Programs then run the new driver. Any info wud be of great help. Too bad di ko kaPost pics. Tnx.

if you want to go back to driver 10.4 use Driver Sweeper
go to safe mode then uninstall ati driver then reinstall driver you want..

links for driver sweeper here: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

based on other users of 5000 series, the best driver has been 10.4, some are able to use 10.5-(sa ako 4600 series 10.1 ang ako best kay 10.2 above ma broken ang dxva acceleration)

^^ I've been using also 10.4 and so far karon ok pa pod cya..

@ts stick with 10.4 brad if it's the most stable your videocard can get..

nag stick sad ko sa 10.4. mas ganahan ko sa 157/300 idle clocks. murag sa 10.5 pataas ilang gipa tas-an ang idle clocks sa ati powerplay (600/900) kay naa daw issues ang uban nga ubos ra kaayo ang 157/300...

pero ako ok ra nako ang 157/300 sa 10.4, stable man... so wala ko plano mag upgrade for now...

just lower the idle clocks manually. if you dun already know, you just make a new profile, open it with notepad or any text editor, edit to satisfaction, save, then use CCC to select the profile you edited and use it. done and done. (this works for lowering or upping clock speeds, iz how I OC my VGA) the high idle clocks might be because some 5970's are reported to be unstable on low clocks (like wen on idle or specially wen 2d rendering lol). I know because mine was, only cure was to kick up the idle clocks.
