I will be joining this clubhouse very soon:D

I forgot to mention I'm getting a Corsair 750tx next week. I have to get that before I can even try crossfire. I'll let you guys know how my new system runs in a week or so.

sounds nice bro :toast:
dually 5870s :pimp:

ah, that should be sufficient i think :laugh:

Well.....I had Tri-Fire 1GB 4870's are one point.....then went to Crossfire as I put one in my girlfriends rig.....then both of mine died in a horrible accident (too many mhz! LOL) so I got myself a cheap GX2.

All of my cards had FC blocks on them....I will try and get some pictures up later if I can find them, if not I'll take pictures of the dead cards. :roll:

Well, I have a measly 4830 crossfire in my I7 920 system. Can I join the club?

Would like to upgrade when prices drop.

Seriously though, they work great and and have now problems with any game at 1920x1200.

Currently playing Mass Effect 2 with 16x AF.

im getting pissed off now my games wont run fullscreen on steam aka dirt 2 fullscreen is like say firefox full but with the bars with the - [] X and it refuses to correct itself

alright im really starting to hate steam somehow it magically decided to change ALL my games in steam to have fullscreen = false seriously wtf shit like this is why ppl buy consoles

LOL:D guess they couldnt take the heat huh? :D
well find some pics and i'll add you bro:D

well if they run the things you need, then why upgrade? but i guess the obvious choice would be either 5770s in CF or a 5850 ? but yeah, it all depends on one's economy:D
that sounds strange, tried to uninstall steam and reinstall it?
dont really know what you should do about it?

alt-enter fullscreens games


i had a similar issue at one point, i had my screen running at 60Hz and the games set to it, and they didnt like running that when my monitor reverted to 59Hz max.

lets hope its just that haha:D

its fixed apparently in rare cases if u alt tab from a steam game it will auto set all your games ini files to fullscreen = false so no matter what u do they never go fullscreen untill u change fullscreen= false to fullscreen = true eitherway its fixed but thats just just damn screwy

Sorry for the quality, it was taken from my phone. The wire that is over the two cards is to the ATX, when I had it custom made, I had to rewire a lot of stuff to make it fit. I could've re-route it better, but I was too lazy :o

Benchmarks O/C to 1000/1300

Am I doing it right?

Yeah man most likely, just gonna wait several weeks and see if ATi announce anything new:toast:

fullinfusion needs to update his post 1 page back i got his heaven bench run and did dirt 2 and re5 im still waiting man ;) i want to see what that extra 800mhz and other fancy stuff gives you

HELLSPAWNPR/ 1st CF 3870+3850 512mb, Gecube 2nd CF 2 XFX 4770 512mb/790x/AMD x4 630 3.5GHZ

looks good except hte 8pin haha :laugh:
regarding the overclock then i have no clue since i havent tried it on the 5850s yet

like 5890 or what?

i'll add you in a sec bro:D

You guessed it:toast:

I am quite surprised by my two HD5670s. I can run the Mechwarrior: Living Legends total conversion for Crysis at Very High settings at 1680x1050 with FPS around the 45-50 mark. Granted, the game itself has larger maps and view distances, so it bogs down to around 24-25 average fps at those settings, but I don't play Crysis - I shoot 'Mechs :)

Im in - I got 2 1gb 4870's on a P45 board!!

that is NICE bro, they do perform VERY well i must say, :toast: guess they would be nice in a budget gamer,

wooohooooo :D:D:D:wtf:

added you bro, welcome:D and now we have 13 pairs of 4870s in here, thats nice:D

Can I join? :toast:

I've got two 2GB Vapor-X HD4870's in Crossfire and they perform like no tommorow. Can run pretty much all games the way the should, on high :D With excellent FPS aswell.

2gb each card?

never heard of that haha:D

but yes, you're in, and now we have 14 pairs of 4870s :D, nice rig btw:p

Thanks Don.

And yeah, 2GB each. I would have probaly get the same performance with the cheaper 1GB versions. But hey, I wanted something special xD There arent that many people that can say they have 4GB vRAM in there computer and a whole lot less that can say they're single GPU cards :D

thats nice :) i think that when you have more vram you can put on more eyecandy/viewdistance etc? correct me if im wrong :toast:

whats the temps on those? i know the 4870s are hotties:laugh:
but havent tried the vapor version myself

Yup, I can run GTAIV on Ultra High, all settings to max and still be in the green. To bad it doesnt support Crossfire. Crysis isnt much of a problem too, atleast if I keep AA to a minimum. Lets say 2x AA on Very High Dx10. I have yet to experience lag.

The only game that lags is Metro 2033, but I doubt thats my cards and it only does it in fire fights so I dunno.

Idle
Top card: 42c
Bottom card: 49c

Load (Furmark)
Top card: 59c
Bottom card: 65c

thats nice^^ yep i think its weird that they didnt make multi gpu support in that game,
but i guess thats what happens when its made for consoles :confused:

strange, i can almost maxx metro out in dx11 with my 2 5770s in Full HD, and they dont lagg in anything?
what driver are you using?

those temps are crazy, guess the vapor cooler is REALLY good haha :rockout:
