Crossfire Clubhouse
i thought i'd make this thread to those of us who owns/owned a set of ATI cards in crossfire
so here you can ask and tell about your setup, show off your CF system and ask about any problems, come with good ideas etc. tell about your overclocking adventures and so on. please let me know if there is something i should add here ![]() bring it on ![]() Drivers can be downloaded here : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx The most popular ATI GPU in here to be CF'ed is the HD 4870. we have a total of 16 pairs and more to come i hope ![]() The platform mainly used for CF is the AMD 790FX, Second is Intel X58 If you wanna use a dedicated Nvidia card for PhysX then take a look at brandonwh64's thread right here How to activate PhysX Members : remember to let me know if you're not on it ![]()

results in nasty flickering, horizontal lines that shift up and down vertically. only fix from AMD is to turn Vsync on... and guess what happens when games dont like vsync? (deadspace, RE5, etc)

only fix is vsync on, crossfire off, or an AMD chipset mobo. (or, x58/p55 supposedly is fine with HD5k cards)

Sign me up!
2x5850's in CrossFire! This CrossFire setup puts all previous CrossFire setups I've used to waste. Not just in terms of performance, but how well they scale and how well they just work. |

But even I was surprised when I stumbled on that googling open box 5770. The deal died as soon as I clicked to buy it. There was only one.

You can throw me in the mix Don. I'm runnin a Sapphire Toxic & HIS 3870. I'm gonna probly look at a couple coolers for them soon. Although the Toxic stays very very cool compared to the HIS, so I may just look at a couple blocks if I ever decide to go back to water.
