If I want to use the overvolt I have to uninstall the card drivers, clean the system (driver cleaner), remove the displays via devide manager, reboot, reinstall drivers, reboot and then run the overvolt. - If I reboot or shutdown my pc the overvolt bugs again... so I can only run the overvolt 1 time per driver installation! pretty annoying!

Several component within DX10 has components of DX9 running more efficiently. But DX10 also enhances certain parts as well, which decreases performance but looks nicer+has more developer features to use. Eg, shadowing and lighting has a few bits running more effectively, but most of it has been revamped to be more accurate and nicer looking (+by using less code to do so) @Leith

I tried a sample from the DirectX11 SDK that uses the same shader for DX9/11 render paths. On DX11 I get 700 FPS. On DX9 I get 900 FPS. It seems DX10/11 has more CPU overhead.

I always though it was not optimizied as other games that look just as good always seem to run faster than Crysis. Hopefully Crysis 2 being a console game, the PC version will be optimized. You can always play it on DX9 using that 'Ultra High' config file hack. Thats’s interesting that it doesn’t like fast PCs…

It runs fine on 32bit XP but on 64bit 7 I get random crashes that the VS Express 2008 debugger won't catch, and that I can't pin down. It can be reproducible in the same spot but then inserting debug statements totally changes where it crashes. If I choose to debug the crashed program, VS2010 opens (I have the beta 2 installed side by side, for some reason 2008 is no longer in the debug list pfft) and declares the heap is corrupted, making it rather useless. I don't even use P/Invoke in this app (I think, I should probably double check). Hopefully turning off "Any CPU" and using x86 will fix it, haven't had the chance to really test it much and I'm still not really sure that's the cause...

Anyway why do you need to use Sapphire's volt mod tool. There are plenty of other tools by other 5970 vendors that should work (as long as they don't check vendor IDs). Failing that you could just use AMD's generic volt mod tool they gave to reviewers, or just use the best 5000 series over-clocking tool, MSI Afterburner. Can't sleep tonight due to the fact my 5850 will arrive tomorrow... Lets hope the courier is nice and early... Did you remove that hideous heat-sink sticker?
