well what credentials do I need to join this fine clubhouse?

the crossfire configs I have ran/still run;

• HD5870 + HD5850
• HD4870 512mb

the 4870's I overclocked to 825/3800 speeds, and the 5870+5850 are overclocked to 950/5000

honestly I quite disliked the 4870's together, 512mb was just on the slight side for 1920x1200, they were horribly loud, and both had terrible coil buzz/whining, not to mention I think drivers were a lot worse back then.

the current HD58xx's are a dream to run, they are both much more mild in terms of noise and heat, and put out a shitload of FPS for anything I can throw at them, awesome to the max.

i wish some foo would trade my two 4870's for one 5850 :P

only a fool would my friend. thinking of a 5000 series card at all?

like a 13 year old boy who discovered how to turn safesearch off on google, my desires run rampant... but ultimately ineffectual.

I am pretty sure the CPU / graphics bottleneck was taken away long ago. This is why you see Phenom II's looking faster than Core i7's. I believe it all has to do with your complete system's setup ie.: Graphics, CPU, Ram, HD, Settings etc. But you'll never know until you try right ;)
Your telling me :laugh: I would love to trade my 2 x HD 4870's for a HD 5850 or HD 5870 anyday. I keep all my PC parts in Mint Condition:D

i'll add you guys in a minute;)

here is a couple of runs with 2 5770s at 930/1350, with a i7 920 at 4ghz

06'

Please allow me to join?

User: DRDNA GPU: 2X 4870x2 MB: Asus P6T Delux Chipset:X58 CPU: i7@4.2GHZ

always room for another one bro:D

Two 4870x2's? :D NICE

yay, but they dont really perform THAT in games under 1920x1080

but it sure does look and sounds sexy to have 2 of those beasts, and then they have some e-peen value.D

i meant, you dont really see much performance gain from one to two under FHD

My CFX scales very very well!

does a single cross fired gpu (5970) qualify?

How do you get CF with only one GPU?

i'm sure they do:D still havent tried it out myself though, only based what i said on a friends experience with 2 of them:D



well its 2 chips aint it ;)


its a dual gpu card? so yeah i guess it would go as a cf card,

Um Im not sure but I think they cross fire a single 5970 do they not? lol
or should I buy another 5970 and run quad fire?

def buy another to join this club:D

jk, but i think if you check gpu-z then it says that crossfire is enabled then i guess its crossfire.D

thats all I needed to know :toast:
thanks bro...:respect:

can I post some marks with my twin chip gpu than?

hell yeah, would be fun to see some nice scores

hmmm think i'm gonna make a table especially for those with single dual gpu cards,

Dude sorry , I thought I read 5870...yes for sure you are a crossfire maniac!:toast:

http://img.techpowerup.org/100304/esttest.jpg

I love this cross fired gpu hehe

http://img.techpowerup.org/100304/DSCN0481.jpg

thats nice man, :rockout:

i think the reason why mine gets more in 06 is because of the i7 with HT? if it was on my amd i would get like 21k

how hot does it get under load?

and go fetch another card :D

try running your I7 only on 4 threads for the heck of it and see what it does.
I like Vantage now... and around 69c when over volted with a fan speed at a moderate 50%.... I can hardly hear it with the side panel on the case but sure warms me cold room fast lol
And I could but I need to send hose over seas and need to pay rent lol

maybe i should do that, would be funny just to see how much difference it actually does:D

haha i think we all would buy nice stuff if we didnt have all those dang bills:D

and btw, dont send the hose, wont be doing water before may, and then i'll be doing it all the way with gpu's mobo and what not

I may not have cash till may lol, so no worries I still have your details... If you use it than do so... If not pass on the good will my friend :D

yeah for sure try it... Id like to see some marks on 4 cores 4 threads

I have a fresh OS install happening today as well so Im going to push the bitch.... last night I maxed out the gpu's voltage and core+mem clocks in MSI After burner but I got a lower score in Vantage... i think it was due for a clean install... going from a 4890 to a 5970 fucked up things. the registry I'm thinking took the biggest hit from swapping gps's out and messing with drivers even thou I followed Erockers suggestions. :eek:

that tend to fuck things up sometimes yes:D

but, when i do like 1000/1400 on my 2 cards i get the same score as if i run 960/1375.

so i think i found the limit on my cards maybe? or maybe not, because that was on the amd, maybe the i7 can handle it better?

has anyone played crossfire with BC2 yet?

how did it run with them? ...also curious if you ran it with 2x5770 lemme know :) that will be my soon'ish crossfire setup

i played the beta, even though i found it VERY boring, and that was with 2 5770s, it did NOT feel like they had to work for it:D

was actually kinde dissapointed with the beta, prob why i dont buy the game until it drops MUCH in price

and i play mw2 and etc,

run it chicken shit lol :laugh:.... I just ran mine and got ever so close to my all time record.

once you hit the wall with the gpu's you can always try for more cpu freQ hehe:rolleyes:

how do they run MW2? that is my main game at the moment ...

ROFL:D i will i will, but i'm also cleaning up my case and putting cathodes in there, new fan, removing hd bay and what not:D so i'm kinda bussy, :roll:


well with one 5770 i coul play it in full hd with max aa, its not because that game is so demanding, it uses the same engine as the mw1 i think, with some modifications?

so yeah, not a heavy game at all

but yeah, i play it maxxed out

very cool ... glad to hear it blows through MW2 :toast:

it sure does, they also takes crysis at 1680x1050 with around 40fps with 4xaa

daaaaaang ... very nice :toast:

yes it is:D

havent tried warhead though, but cant imagine that will be much different

its gonna be exciting to see how well the 5890 performs, hope it will be REALLY good, since i'm considering it for the next CF setup

i do NOT consider nvidia in the near future, they've just been dissapointing to mee for too long in the price vs performance.
and if its true that the gtx-480 isnt much better than the 5870 and it will cost 200$ or so more, then nvidia is diggin their own grave

ya nvidia has been crap for a few years now

that 5890 should be pretty impressive ... hopefully ATI learned on the 5830 flop and make the 5890 the way it should be

New Vantage high! :pimp:

http://img.techpowerup.org/100304/yeahbaby.jpg

congrats! :toast:

dang nice score there, :eek:

come on Brad, you got some catching up to do :p BTW this is another c/f setup, dual 4870's.

CPU is only at 4GHz on this run

which unigene test is best?

and nice rig CP, thats the old one right?

My new 5770s show up Mon so can I play too....
Crosshair III (FX790)
AMD 965
Asus CuCore 5770s (had XFX 5770s but sold them)

Yeah, miss it a lot, the case especially.

:rockout: Kick ass system there Mark :toast:

what case was it? looks like it has some nice wm possibilities
and LOTS of room :D

MK, that is gonna be kickass, but you already know that since you had it before:D

Yeah you know what to do with your I7 bro lol!

Pull your 965 out clock it and your gpu's and lets play lol :nutkick:

http://img.techpowerup.org/100304/letssee.jpg

lets's see how this works teeheehee ;)

LOL, im so retarded... I had perfectly good 5770s (a bit noisy but good) and I sold them to wait for 5830s but they turned out to be not such a good deal, than I waited for an openbox 5880 but I am just too dam slow...

Today I found a pair of the New Asus cards for $124ea, so screw the waiting I got them. I like how they have the long exhaust slot (instead of the small one the rest of the cards have)

Im probably gonna make a custom cooler that attaches a fan to the power connection end and blows along the cards and out the back of the case. It wqs either gonna be the Asus cards or the MSI Hawks but I figured if i was gonna make my own cooler why spend the extra $100..

And CP thats a very clean looking loop you had there...

i had issues with flickering and such, until i ran the game as admin (UAC disabled also works)

weird, but true.

I still get minor crossfire flickering in the background image even with Vsync on, but i can only see it in menu, not in game. Not everyone gets that flickering.

Sign me up.

yeah the 5830s are not good imo, either you go 5770, or you go 5850, that middle thing is not good,

but dang, 124 each is CHEAP, those suckers costs 210$ in denmark, ffs i hate being here when it comes to hardware

its gonna be fun to see what you will do with them:D

Metal, which cards are those? 50s or 70s?
