kudos:1 | [OC] video card 5770 Hi put together a midrange system and would like to utilize crossfire-x, have 2 cards but when I run 3dmark 06 it freezes.
Here are my specs:
AMD 955
MSI 890FXA GD65
8GB ram
2 Radeon HD 5770 |
|
| I'm sorta confused... this is posted in overclocking but the issue seems to be that you are crashing?
Are the cards overclocked? If so, put them back to stock speeds...
Does each card pass a stress test?
Do you have the latest drivers...
Does it crash in anything else? |

kudos:1 | Have a OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W.
I will try rolling back the drivers tonight. Everything is hooked up right as far as I know.
I disabled overclocking on the cards. |

kudos:1 | also only put this here as I was OC'ing the cards.
Based on my motherboard, there seems to be a seperate 6pin connector specificed to provide power to graphics card.
Currently I have two PCIE connectors plugged directly into the videocards.
I also have the +12V 8pin connector going direct from PSU to Mobo.
Thoughts? Mods if you think this should go into Hardware problems, please move. |

| Ah I shoulda looked up the board.
Okay the 8pin is CPU power, the PCI-E connectors are to power the cards... however, each card can draw 75watts (or more if out of spec...) from the slots... I would try to plug in the 6 pin I guess MSI is using (most use a molex) to give more power to the pci slots...
See if that helps your crashing... but also run everything at stock... you could have an unstable OC... just because it passes some stress tests does not mean EVERY last test will be stable.
TLDR or whatever...
Stock clocks
Plug in 6pin to mobo (can use molex to 6pin adaptor if needed) |

over clock both cards to and see what you come up with.
GPU 900
ram 1300 |

|
| Ya that's the plan, overclock the cards... that ya... are having crashing issues... 
If anything you underclock them... |

stable |
Suggestions? For myself I just want to see how far I can go.
I don't want to grab the highest marks, ultimately I'll be using this day to day. I want to see what this equipment can do

2x 5770`s are comparable to a single 560 so you should have no problems gaming on medium high to high on most games. If you are crashing while running 3d mark while overclocked then your cards simply arent stable while overclocked. If it crash while NOTHING is overclocked id run some memory test and reinstall my ATI drivers. |
