4850 + 2x 4870 CFX questions

Fitseries3 · Aug 16, 2008, 11:35 PM

I have 2x 4870's and a 4850.

my board....

i will have the 4870's in the blue slot and the furthest black one with the 4850 in the middle.

will this work properly?

Fitseries3 · Aug 16, 2008, 11:54 PM

i guess im just gonna try it out.

anyone have a LONG CF bridge i can buy?

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 12:05 AM

ok... since no one is being helpfull today im tackling it myself.

maybe someone can tell me how the hell to OC and fix the fan on 3 cards now?

3 gpu CFX is enabled. there is the option for 2 and 3 gpu in CCC but no overdrive at all.

any suggestions? AGCT?

At this point in the day the forums seem a little stagnant. It's better to ask earlier because the people in europe will be awake

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 02:38 AM

errrrrrr....

now the driver keeps crashing in the cpu test of 3dm06. wtf man? this is crap.

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 02:52 AM

hows this?

ShadowFold · Aug 17, 2008, 03:08 AM

Is that a good score?

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 03:09 AM

pretty damn good. i'd tell you my 06 score but 06 wont run at all. not even at stock.

ShadowFold · Aug 17, 2008, 03:10 AM

Why 03? Why not vantage or 06?

what about vantage?

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 03:12 AM

trying now.

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 03:17 AM

Yup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ShadowFold · Aug 17, 2008, 03:25 AM

That seems low for 3 4800's..

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 03:26 AM

there is a # of things that are wrong here. this damn p45 is a shitty OCer with ram so my mem is running crappy. the video cards wont OC much in 3gpu mode either.

erocker · Aug 17, 2008, 04:00 AM

What are all the lanes running at? x8x4x4? You may actually get a better score removing the 4850. Either way, cool stuff man!

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 04:02 AM

yup... but it's pci-e 2.0 so it's not that bad really. i need my p5e3 back from dark. help me convince him

.

06 still wont run.

erocker · Aug 17, 2008, 04:10 AM

Does 06 just lockup or does it give you an error?

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 04:11 AM

it stops. i can ctrl+alt+del out of it and the comp runs fine for hours but not 3dm06.

Scrizz · Aug 17, 2008, 04:12 AM

I think you'd be better off with the 4870s in lane 1 and 2
and forgetting about the 4850 ( at least on this board)

Fitseries3 · Aug 17, 2008, 04:13 AM

im actually getting 1400 - 1600pts higher at the same cpu clock i benched the 2x 4870's at.
