I hope this isn't against forum rules, but ExtremeTech has a review that pits this card against a pair of crossfire 3870s. It looks like it might not be as efficient as two 3870s, only wining because of the increase in core clock.

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2252547,00.asp

Actually it would make the X2 look less appealing if they would get their Crossfire working correctly! :eek:

Someone needs to link some of these "reviewers" to my "How-to". Then everyone will stop poo-pooing Crossfire.:mad:

It beats the GTX in almost all the high-res tests. The fact that it has 2 gpus doesn't matter, it's the price compared to the GTX that matters, and the X2 is cheaper than the GTX.

Cheaper than the Ultra for that matter

Wow there must be something with my 3D Mark 03 because I cannot come close to 56000 marks. It seems that my card runs that benchmark as if I only have one 3870 installed becasue I score around 36000. Everything else seems to work with the card just fine though. Any thoughts as to why I am having this odd problem.

Is there not a multi GPU patch for 3D Mark 2003? have you installed it if there is otherwise the bench will not be optimised for more than one GPU.

If you have not got it already, you can get the latest patch here.....see if that helps:

Hanners @ EB didn't have a very good experience with the card either-

http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=531&Itemid=27

hanners said:
with some game titles offering little or no performance gains over a single Radeon HD 3870, and others (notably Need For Speed: Pro Street) exhibiting performance losses with CrossFire enabled.

hanners again said:
Firstly, it initially refused to post at all on our Striker II, nForce 780i-based platform, although thankfully ASUS were extremely fast in getting a motherboard BIOS update out to us which resolved the issue. We then moved on to our Gigabyte GA-X38-DS5 motherboard, which even more bizarrely refused to detect or allow us to boot from IDE optical drives, although they were fine within Windows Vista itself - naturally, this gave us some OS installation headaches which required changing the graphics board until Vista was fully installed from the DVD drive.

^ those two are the most concering from the review, for those who dont/cant click the link

hello! first post here I do not know much (almost nothing about cards) and I have two questions.... first, do you think the Collin McRae DiRT game can be played with this card? and second for other applications different from games, do you think this card will be good enough? I mean to render complex animations from programs like Cinema 4D, 3DS Max, etc. etc.

thanks a lot!
bye!

If that's the case, there was a problem with your system when you had the GX2. First, Crysis doesn't scale properly with Crossfire, so the second ATI gpu on the 3870X2 adds very little performance, if any at all.

Second, the Gx2 is hands down the faster card. There is absolutely no disputing it.

compairing the HIS superclock to the 9800gx2 ultra clock at the coolmaster event both max gpus on both cards max clocked the his superclock had better performance in everything from 2 fps to 30 fps depending on what they were running. crysis they were almost the same. seeing is believeing in my book so idk what to say :/

Crysis has a problem with DUAL Cards beyond 1900x****. TBH if its 1 game that has the problem, but everything else runs fine with it, im not going to blame the technology used for the hardware.

I wasn't blaming anything. I was just pointing out that he obviously had a problem with his 9800GX2 setup if Crysis plays better on the 3870X2. Crysis doesn't scale well with any multi gpu setups, but it does scale better with nVidia.

i get lower fps with everything with that 9800 gx2... i bought it just testing it out and i didnt like it so i trade it in for another 3870 x2... i know it wasnt the layout cuz i have mobos laying around my house enought to build a few computers... seems like a big waist but i admit when i oc it i can go higher with invidia before volt moding it. but with both volt mod there about equal... i have his superclocks and just running one of them outdoes the ultra superclock of the gx2 9800 series.... im not sure what was going on i got a mobo recomended for it and i didnt like the fact that i lost 18 fps to just one of the his superclocked.... a bug in the hardware on invidias part? replacing it with another didnt help though.... mobo replacement to the same kind it ran the same.... well im just going to stick with the he 3870 X2 i run everything perfectly maxed out

Could've been anything. Hardware conflict, bugged driver, etc., etc.

If the 3870X2 works better for you, then so be it. I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm just saying there was definitely a problem with the GX2 setup, as it should've been faster in everything, period.
