HD 5870 sensors

[da na]

I bought a hd 5870 engineering sample to mess around with and run some tests on. Plugged it into my test bench and many temp sensors showed up on gpu-z. I’m assuming this is a feature of the engineering sample GPU and production models don’t have all these, right?

Could also be an issue with the software as that gpu is supposed to be run on a windows 7 era machine and not a new one.

But yeah they might have stuck a buncha sensors on everything

I would have assumed software issue but it has Windows 10 drivers and seems quite stable.

Yeah, not too uncommon for engineering samples or pre production cards to have sensors on everything.

I have a Radeon x1650 pro engineering sample which has temperature sensors for each individual memory module, since it was a testing variant with 512mb of ddr3 instead of 256mb ddr3/512mb ddr2

AKA windows 7 drivers with 1 registry entry changed

i think in windows 10 the entire HD series between the 2000-4000 series uses the same launch driver they originally wrote in 2015 still. So i feel like the 5000 series might not be getting much more love than that

It gets Catalyst drivers from 2015 and surprisingly Radeon Crimson drivers from 2016

I can test that with my retail HD 6750 on Windows 7 and everything,

The 6000 series uses 5000 series GPUs for most of the lineup.

My HD 6750 is a Juniper card and is 1:1 the same as the HD 5750.

Except for literally performing worse lol

So those temps don't appear on retail units,

In my card you can't see the currents nor the temps of the VRM phases:

Thank you for showing me that... I assume the GPU temps 1-3 are standard on those cards then but the VDDIC and all of those temps aren't...
