video card opitons

You could also overclock the 5850 and achieve the same results.

Most have vGPU control disabled on 5850 BIOS. Once you flash to 5870, it starts working.

And there is one less background process by BIOS flashing.

OP: post a link to the biostar. Avoid the sapphire one though. It will not take 5870 BIOS.

Sapphire, bio star is junk IMO.

Biostar video cards are usually reference. Sapphire ones are non-reference without vGPU control.

Sapphires won't flash?



And hence why I said IMO.
