HT4U results:
2D idle 15.2W
3D avg. 57.7W
3D furmark 66.8W

Techpowerup results:
2D idle 14W
3D avg. 45W
3D furmark 62W

interesting...

Numbers of the standard fanless Powercolor = HD 5750 SCS3:
idle ~15W
2d multimonitor ~27W
3Dmark ~57W
Peak ~86W
(numbers from Review in c`t 2/2010)

0.80 V = 13.6 W
0.85 V = 14.0 W
0.90 V = 14.3 W
0.95 V = 14.7 W

Could you also try to lower the load voltage, just to see how close to the limit we're there?

Which leaves the card itself, and indeed, when I lower the card from 700/1150 (stock) to 600/1000 it's stable. I have no doubts in your system, it sounds very cool 8) But there is a problem and you know engineers always try to fix problems. And what you already found out clearly shows the following...

W1zzard wrote:any wishes what else i should test on this card?

I would be interested in the o'clocking results. The 10% from techPowerUp suggest the card might be close to the limit with the 1.0V ?

I am a little bit disappointed that I can't alter voltages but in the end, the missing power connector and the overall performance make this card a keeper. Not need to be disappointed yet, as future versions of RBE, MSI afterburner or other tools may also support the VR chip of your card on 5750s. ...

@audiodude Thanks for the link! Looks like we've both been right in most aspects, your power measurements and my bet on the voltage reduction. what really surprises me is: - why they sell it only as a 21% reduction, when in reality they reduced it by much more. According to the techPU measurements i...

Did you test MSI Afterburner? I think it's more likely to support your card than RBE as it's officially stating VT1165 support. Although not necessary for the 5750 :roll: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=305908 here you can get it: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/overview.htm Good luck!

I was originally looking at a 5850, but considering how well the 5770 behaves...I was running through DAO at 157/300/0.8000 1600x1200, max everything for a hour, and even though it was about 20 FPS per FRAPs On which card did you achieve the 157/300 @ 0.8V, a 5850 or a 5770 ? And did you still noti...

Computerbase_de promised a review of the card after CEBIT after an interview with Powercolor, where they still insisted that there is no voltage drop! So thanks for all you postings here, this as close to a Review as we can get :D Edit: I tried to under and overvolt the UVD mode of the card (using R...

That's a problem, because I also swapped boards (before it was a ECS 770 Board) and Ram (there was only one stick left, now there are two). So either we're patient and wait for a review, or we keep on guessing :twisted: What puzzles me is the following: ECS 770 Idle: 75W Furmark: 150W 3D Mark 06: 1...

Maybe we don't get too much into details here now, as not to make this thread too boring for others. If someone is interested in more technical details, maybe take it offline to PM? Another question regarding the topic: do you have power consumptions values of your system before the g!g for comparis...
