Radeon 5570 1 GB Overclocking with MSI Afterburner

[dexfat2]

Is it safe to try overclocking on 230V?

[TodorSRB]

Use AMD OverDrive, MILLION TIMES BETTER, its from ATI for god sake. :P

[CHMgamemedic777]

HELP PLEASE REPLY ... MINE CAN*T GO HIGHER THAN 750 !!!!!

[TodorSRB]

@CHMgamemedic777 Maybe cuz its Gigbyte Radeon?

[germas369]

lol fan on auto. shouldn't it be manual or something?

[mobius1aic]

@germas369 Manual at 100% would be recommended, yes.

[jkleli]

I downloaded msi Afterburner hoping to overclock my ATI Radeon HD 5570 to a point at which Battlefield 3 would run well, but my gpu wouldnt melt. Even at maximum clocking though (Core Clock of 700 and Memory Clock of 550) my gpu temp stays below 55C even with Battlefield running (sloppily) in 1080p. Is there any way i can further increase my maximum clock MHz?

[mobius1aic]

@jkleli You didn't read the complete video description :|

And 550 for the memory? Is it a DDR2 version?

The 5570 also has no chance in hell running BF3 at 1080p, and won't be very good even at 720p.

[TheZASTAVA750]

can this cause overheating ( if i use ur settings)?

[mobius1aic]

@TheZASTAVA750 It's a certain possibility, so make sure you case has plenty of airflow and no blockage. Of course, turn your graphics card fan up to 100% too.

[BlueBananners]

Is a max temp of 73 going to hurt anything?

[mobius1aic]

@BlueBananners Perhaps, though usually most GPUs (and CPUs too), when they hit their limit will just auto fail and revert back to normal clocks in the process as a safety measure.

[VampThegamer]

i have a 5570 as well but i cant overclock as much as you, my core clock is only 700mhz and the memory is 950 which both of them is at the max.. why cant i reach the same amount of overclock as you?

[mobius1aic]

@VampThegamer Read the video description.

[harveyjake1985]

Could i perhaps do a little overclocking on my Powercolor Radeon HD 5570 1GB card i should be getting in a few days? Core Clocks and mem clocks are 650mhz/800mhz and i just wanna see if i could tweak em a bit so i can run L.U.R.K Mod for Stalker Shadow of chernobyl and Skyrim and WoW efficiently... same as other guy, im only 15 and i dont get much of a income either :P

[JoonBug134]

I have the same card, but xfx, and my ratings were crappier than yours ): 4.3

[EpicnessOverdose]

I have the same graphics card. I'm using the AMD Overdrive tool. The original settings were 650MHz for GPU clock, 800MHz for Memory clock and 20% Fan clock.

If I put this up to 690MHz GPU, 940MHz Memory and 100% Fan, is this safe? I don't want to screw this up because as a 14 year old I don't have much of an income. Thanks in advance.

[mobius1aic]

@EpicnessOverdose You should be ok.

[timpieto]

And what temp r u when oc'ed and playing a game?

[chrischoy9]

@TheMetalHeadGr Try AMD GPU clock tool, it has no limitations on overclocking

[MrLawliePawp]

@TheMetalHeadGr what i actually meant was i don't know wich clocks i have to get. i've tried alot of things but i always get screen freezes. It bugs me. but ty for the reply ;)

[MrLawliePawp]

@TheMetalHeadGr np i'm trying to overclock mine but i can't really figure it out :/

[MrLawliePawp]

@TheMetalHeadGr i think it's about right. i read somewhere that newer cards can go up to 100c and than not be damged. but u should look around for yourself.

[TheGamerField]

jeez what crapy rating >:D haha nice video guy.xD

[TubeSuraz]

[ATIADLHAL]

UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it

UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1

AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0

That's Work

[bugade]

why my msi afterburn allow just 700/550? i have the same video card and my fan speed is 100%

[posavinamajka]

oh man...i have my saphirre ATI HD 5570 512 DDR5 realy brutal overclocked , core 950MHZ and Memory to 1050MHZ .....hahah.. with the ATI overdrive...peace..the card have a original artic cooler....

[AmateurCreationzz]

@posavinamajka you can't overclock a hd 5570 to 950 mhz core with ati overdrive wtf?

[AmateurCreationzz]

@posavinamajka you can't overclock a hd 5570 to 950 mhz core with ati overdrive 

[chrischoy9]

@AmateurCreationzz use AMD GPU clock tool

[posavinamajka]

@posavinamajka yes you can by a saphirre card

[ActiveClipMaker]

Will this make my card to overheat?

[willsgotbeer]

i have the same card and 1ghz less ram and i get 102.5fps???

[chrischoy9]

@willsgotbeer video author is using fraps which takes up CPU usage therefore making fps on this vid shit

[StepmaniaPwnerer]

who else watched the video because of the awesome song! :D

[gamez101]

What is the PSU output after overclocking?

[mobius1aic]

Ok, at this point I'm just going to tell everyone this:

If you have an ATi card, enable overclocking through the CFG file in the main Afterburner location on your harddrive. If you need to take ownership of the file, do it. If you don't know how, Google it. If it doesn't work, you're probably fucked because you don't know how to use your computer to the extent you should, and therefore probably shouldn't be overclocking.

When it doubt, Google it. Plain and simple.

[AmateurCreationzz]

@mobius1aic I've done everything pretty well and still my options are limited. I've tried enabling voltage control even that i couldn't get to enable.

I've edited the cfg file and it still limits me to 700 mhz so what else can it be? what did u do differently?

[JUDOKMASTER]

@AmateurCreationzz I am having the same problem... i am looking like crazy for the answer. have you found it yet?

[alluville]

I've been running a 5570 from asus with no problem at 850/1050 forthe past year or so ;)

[AmateurCreationzz]

@alluville did you use msi afterburner?

[alluville]

@AmateurCreationzz yes

[wizardking10]

@alluville Any coolers attached?

[alluville]

@wizardking10 Nope, stock.

[TheDyogoalves]

My 5570 HD DDR3 i dont get more than 700 mhz, how you have 800+??

[zohaib029]

Good video helped alot thanks..

[OffRoadVama]

is it safe?? after OC card is stable??

I have a 9800GT how much I can OC it??

[ElSighxD]

whats the difference between 32 and 64 bit? people say 32 is better and others say its not. :S

[mobius1aic]

@ElSighxD It's the size of the words used by the processor, which also effects the amount of addressable memory. 64 is better. You just need the proper hardware and drivers to run on 64 bit.

[96stewie96]

@ElSighxD A more clearer is windows 32bit is slower than 64 and 42 does not let you go over 3 gigs of ram thats its RAM cap 64 bit you can get like wayyy over 3 like 6,8,10,12,14,24 (24 if the motherboard supports it) hope that gives you the final answer i used RAM as an example and speed aswell

[FluenceGaming]

@ElSighxD 64 bit can use more am and it is faster so yeah

[thekillingjimmy]

song name

[mobius1aic]

@thekillingjimmy Read video description :D

[thekillingjimmy]

@mobius1aic oops sorry it slipped my mind thnx by the way :)

[PeopleR2sensitive]

For those of you not being able to OC like him, it's because of the newer, shittier version of Afterburner. You need to download 1.6.0 and you should be able to OC at the same settings.

[mattakudesu]

i gots me a problem. i got a 5570 silence, the one with the big heatsink on it. now with msi afterburner, i can initially only oc my core clock to 700 and memory clock to 650. i set the UnofficialOverclockingMode to 1 and yet i still cant overclock it past these speeds. help pl0x.

[Limitbreak07]

Can you please provide a tutorial on how to configure the msi config??

in my cfg theres no "EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1" written on it..

i can only oc mine by 700 and 950 please help

[mobius1aic]

@Limitbreak07

There should be an area in the CFG file that looks like this: [ATIADLHAL]

UnofficialOverclockingEULA =

UnofficialOverclockingMode = 0

AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0

Set the "UnofficialOverclockingMode" to = 1.

[Limitbreak07]

@I tried this one mate, i changed the value to 1 but still i only oc mine to 700 and 950..

[Limitbreak07]

@mobius1aic Update :

i managed it to work til 730/970.

but when i oc it greater than i mentioned above

freezes my game. ill just gonna stick to 730/970 oc ^_^

[The2dudesandacamera]

@mobius1aic where would the CFG file be

[mobius1aic]

@The2dudesandacamera

Harddrive / Program Files (x86) / MSI Afterburner / MSIAfterburner.cfg

[Notebook43]

@mobius1aic when i change it to 1 and then save it it says Access Denied, how do i overcome this?

[MegaJaDex]

How do i bypass the ati locked speeds?

[basbas63]

One tip use unigine heaven benchmark to get your gpu working at 100%...

[Krazed2Kraze]

Hmm.. Whenever I try OC my 5570 with this app my card crashes every ~10 minutes and VPU recoverer kicks in, unfreezing the game after ~10 secs. Suppose I'll just play with no OC ):

[basbas63]

@Krazed2Kraze how much do u oc at once? it sound like u oc ur card too much... and is it an passive cooled one or active?

[Krazed2Kraze]

@basbas63 Didn't do it too much, I think. Core clock 650 --> 700 and mem clock 800 ---> 950. As for cooling, I have a small fan attatched that came with the card, probably not a strong fan, but I assumed it would have been enough since it's a low profile card that doesn't draw much power.

[MinpAndCorey4Eva]

@Krazed2Kraze mem clock could be too high, drop it down to around 890 mhz

[naik2222]

hahah xD same procesor..same graphic..same amount of ram xD damn i find my guide

[mahavelik]

hey how i modify the cfg file??????

[Harpreet06]

i have a 250w power supply. ive been using the 5570 fine for the past 9 months. think i can overclock it??

[mobius1aic]

@Harpreet06 Probably shouldn't be an issue.

[Harpreet06]

@mobius1aic overclocked it slightly to 690 core and 940 memory. ill try msi afterburner aswell. dont want it to use up too much power though.

[trevor9900]

why is it in ur description u say u got it to 800+ core and 1100+ memory when even in the ati control center and msi afterburner, it wont let me go past 700 core and 900 memory?

[mobius1aic]

@trevor9900 Read the video description ;)

[trevor9900]

@mobius1aic ok, so then how to you configure the file?

[trevor9900]

@mobius1aic nvm, i got it, but do u have to keep msi open whenever u want to play a game, cuz every time i exit out of it n reopen it, my settings go back to default

[NACHOMENMEN]

i love this card ... good price and good overclock ...loveeeeeeeee.....

i have a sapphire radeon defaul 650 core and memo 1600 .... overclock 800 core and memos 1810 .... in the benchmark final fantasy XIV score 2150 ... amd athlon II x 2 245 2.9mhz ram 4 .... and windows 7 ...... a friend has the same computer as me and have a 9600GT and your final score is 1850... godd carddddddd

[JonO387]

So, how do I configure the CFG file to bypass ATI's driver clock speed limits?

[Modgraham]

Why is mine limited to a certain clock? I can't go much higher than 50-100 on memory & core! also, why does it reduce down to ~200mhz when not in use?

[blainyrules]

how did you record the desktop with fraps?

[mobius1aic]

@blainyrules Yeah



[blainyrules]

@mobius1aic yeah i know you used fraps, i saw the number pop up, what i meant was how? because there isnt an option on mine to record the desktop (its v. 3.2.2)

[nfarnham2008]

Hello, I own an Hp desktop, with an AMD 64x2 4400+ 2.3ghz proc, 4 gigs of ddr2 ram, and a crappy integrated nvidia6150se graphics. I have been wanting to upgrade, but am noobish when it comes to comps, I also only have a 250w PSU in my computer, it is bone stock. Could u run this card? Or maybe even the 5670? Most games I play or wish to play are about graphically intensive as Dragon Age

[mobius1aic]

@nfarnham2008 You should be fine running the 5670.

[TrainsGoMoo]

@nfarnham2008 Get a new PSU 500-700 watt

[KEYBOARDWARRIOR786]

nice framrate

[esdymo]

you got 6.8 in 3D gaming? i got 5.7

[RRadRussian]

What are chances of burning your videocard?

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

so if I OC it to 800/1100 it's safe? I mean I just got this card and I don't want it to burn out after a few months...I have a 480w PSU...

[Edayala]

what song is this

[mobius1aic]

@Edayala Cico Bluff by the Cocteau Twins.

[Edayala]

what song is this?

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

does overclocking shorten the life of the card?

[mobius1aic]

@GunnaLeeeeeee It can, depending on clock, voltage and the cooling system. No chip will last forever. I only OC when I need it most. The majority of what I play on my 5570 I don't need any overclocking, like BF2, CoD4/WaW, BF2142, etc. OCing isn't magical and doesn't always get you the amount of performance you need. It's not a substitute for a better card, but it's nice to get a 10%-20% when you need it. Besides I have another computer with a Radeon 5850 for when I need it lol.

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

@mobius1aic OK..well my 4650 burnt out so i ordered this to replace it. You say it does pretty well at BF2 @ Cod? i play at 1280 x 1024 but i turn it down sometimes...atleast when my card couldnt handle it

[mobius1aic]

@GunnaLeeeeeee Yeah it should do 1920 x 1080 easily with BF2 even with 4 or 8x AA. CoD4 is doable at 1080p without AA and still will get about 40+ FPS depending on the scene, though it won't go below 30.

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

@mobius1aic sweet..glad i ordered it:)

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

@mobius1aic ok...but will it do this pre or post OC?

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

@mobius1aic wow..i feel dumb..when i said BF2 i didnt realize there is a game called battlefield 2...i meant Bad Company 2

[thedigitalflow]

Can you tell me the name of the wallpaper please? It's pretty awesome

[mobius1aic]

@thedigitalflow

Search "Beach Garden" on Google Images. It's a 1600 x 1200 so I have part of the bottom of the wallpaper cut off at the bottom, since I have a 1600 x 900 monitor.

[Harpreet06]

how do you swap the full bracket that comes with the 5570 to the low profile bracket that comes in the box?

[mobius1aic]

@Harpreet06 You disconnect the DVI or VGA port wire that makes connection to the graphics board itself, then to get the actual bracket off you have to unscrew the one or two tiny screws + the hollow hexagonal nuts that are to either side of the DVI or VGA port on the back of the card. Switch brackets, and reverse the process. Of course, whatever port it was that was offset of the graphics board won't be there anymore (usually the VGA), leaving a DVI, HDMI or both at your disposal.

[Harpreet06]

@mobius1aic its the vga port that comes off on the 5570. so its just a matter of unscrewing and screwing?? pretty easy then.

[mobius1aic]

@Harpreet06 Yeah simple enough.

[Harpreet06]

@mobius1aic 1 question. the 5570 comes with 2 low profile brackets. 1 has the dvi and hdmi holes and the other just has a vga hole. if you look at the card the dvi and hdmi ports are on the front of the card and the vga port has a sort of cable on the side which links to the full size bracket. could i use both brackets by putting the cable into the other low profile bracket?

[mobius1aic]

@Harpreet06 I guess you could, assuming the cable is long enough to reach another bracket.

[Harpreet06]

@mobius1aic i think it should be. i cant see another reason y they would include a vga low profile bracket otherwise. a noob question but when upgrading from an ATI card to another ATI card do you still have to remove the old drivers before swapping the cards?

[mobius1aic]

@Harpreet06 Well if you need the vga bracket, then use it. As for drivers, I would go ahead and find the one specific for the new card, and install that. Yeah, drivers across the same series, but I'd still do it to be safe.

[SSGT1968]

I saw your vid on the MSI Afterburner for the 5570 ati, I cant seem to get my core clock to go higher than 1040, you said you change the config file to do this, Im familiar with that file but which value did you change to increase the clock speed? could you email me a screen shot of your config file or just tell me witch one to change? its driving me nuts! my email is trhershey@kuhncom.net

thank you

[mobius1aic]

@SSGT1968 1040 MHz?!? That's insanely high. Mine typically fails at about 825 MHz, so I would put that to be the limit of the GPU unless you mess with the voltages, which is something I don't do. I like more sheer performance but you need to be careful not to kill your graphics card pre-maturely. If you meant the memory and not the core, then 1040 MHz is safe, you should be able to get to 1100 at least. 

[M0vir]

I cant set the fan speed :/

[mobius1aic]

@M0vir You have to turn off it's auto fan setting before it let's you change the slider. It's the small "Auto" button at the top right corner of the fan speed slider module/box.

[M0vir]

@mobius1aic I cant even click that

[mobius1aic]

@M0vir Try clicking the button on the far right side of the fan speed slider. Also it's possible that ATi's Catalyst system could be getting in the way so you might want to uninstall it.

[mobius1aic]

Not sure what you're trying to ask. I used FRAPS to record the footage. FRAPS is a PC video recording program that can be used to record what is going on the desktop or a game that is being played on computer.

[realpimp95]

what it fraps and without fraps i dont understand this??
