I also got 2 x Sapphire Radeon HD 4870's in CrossfireX if you want to add me

You can see them in this picture with my Red Led 230mm fan I modded

human_error · Mar 1, 2010, 01:55 PM

Well i'd better join, had crossfire setups for a long time now. I've currently got a 5970 but my history is:

5970
4870x2
3870x2
2x x1950xtx (back in the days of master and slave cards, and the external crossfire cable to connect the 2 together, ugh that was a PITA but was wicked fast).

I've seen almost every problem you can get with crossfire, so i'll provide what help i can if people find issues (although today's issues are a lot less common than the issues in early crossfire setups - you guys don't know how lucky we are

)

(FIH) The Don · Mar 1, 2010, 06:04 PM

i'll add you guys in a minute or 10

'

DonInKansas · Mar 2, 2010, 04:56 AM

jlewis02 · Mar 2, 2010, 05:02 AM

I might have two 5850s in xfire but I dont know how they will work when my mobo drops to 8x pci-e

Chicken Patty · Mar 2, 2010, 05:05 AM

I once owned these, can I still join

ASUS TOP 4850's

DonInKansas · Mar 2, 2010, 05:36 AM

Every game I fire up has flickering/glitchiness issues. Both cards at stock speeds, 10.2 drivers.

erocker · Mar 2, 2010, 05:37 AM

that sucks man, but yeah it sounds like its dead

got get it rma'ed, at least you have another card

DonInKansas · Mar 2, 2010, 04:22 PM

Yep. Back to the trusty single XFX; popped it back in and zero issues. I knew the open box deal was too good to be true...

cadaveca · Mar 2, 2010, 04:28 PM

LoL. I never buy open-box/used stuff just for that reason.

soldier242 · Mar 2, 2010, 04:43 PM

ok i wanna join, i've got one 4850 X2 from sapphire with 1Gig ... it runs fine althougth Arma 2 runs like shit and some games don't run good or don'T have an advantage when using crossfireX

and what i don't understand is, that there still is no multimonitor in crossfire and that games don't strech along those monitors ...

How much of a difference are you seeing with 2 x HD 5770's and 3 x 5770's? Is the performance improvement worth the cost of all 3 cards?

Thanks

(FIH) The Don · Mar 3, 2010, 02:03 AM

no not at ALL, maybe if you go above 1920x1080.

but under that, i dont really have any improvements at all, but i got the card cheap, so i might as well try it out to see if it was worth it

but will try out on a i7 tomorrow at 4ghz, i think my cpu might be a bottleneck somehow, even at 3.8-4.0ghz
