Sapphire Radeon HD5870

[donw35]

upgraded from the 9800GT to a HD5870, using multibeast I installed Chameleon with the experimental ATI driver and ATY_Int Vervet enabler. all is working good.

Do I need to use the ATI_Int enabler, I should have tried without it but didn't.

CineBench 11.5 is 31.99 Open GL

I don`t really have any relevant information to contribute, other than to say that I have the identical graphics card at home waiting to be installed into my system. Once I have it up and running, I`ll report back with Cinebench results in a few days.

I tried an HD5870 recently, as I recall, I think it worked with either Uakari or Zonalis framebuffer. Vervet gave me a black screen at boot. If you use the Chameleon 2.0 RC5 by Kabyl with experimental ATI GraphicsEnabler support you do not need to use an enabler.

Re: Sapphire Radeon HD5870 ** EDIT **

ok, I will remove the enabler and test out the machine, thanks

Removed the enabler, no difference good or bad.
