875 on 0.95? That sounds almost impossible! My 5870 got 925 @ 1.00V, and 725 @ 0.95.

I highly doubt it was at 1.00v. It was likely at 1.063v, which is the next voltage step in many 5870 bios's.

I don't have the card anymore, but CGMiner was setting the V to 0.953, which if I recall bumps the V to the next highest "step", which was 1.000.

My go to is 785 at 1.02 volts you can sometimes go higher than that. This works on pretty much every 5800 series card out there

I did some calculations before I started and based on that I wanted to try but after doing the same calculations again I get a different result. That plus the hassle makes me think I'll just stick with my overclocked/stock voltage settings. I had seen posts of a few people getting 875mhz on .95v on a 5870, i figured a 5850 could do similar but notmine... lol

My 5850 ran at 865/300/1.000.

If you go down to .0950, you are not going to get stock speeds. Try 675/300/0.95, and see if that works. Every card is different, so you man have to go lower, or you may be capable of much higher.

anyone have any info on undervolting 5850's? I decided to give it a shot to reduce the electric bill and lower the heat given off but Im having some issues. I cant get them stable at even stock clocks! Is it really worth it? What clocks do you run undervolted? how far did you undervolt?
