Crossfire Clubhouse - Page 7

wolf · Mar 3, 2010, 10:13 AM

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.

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

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

Chicken Patty · Mar 4, 2010, 11:24 PM

Two 4870x2's?

NICE

(FIH) The Don · Mar 4, 2010, 11:25 PM

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

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?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 4, 2010, 11:37 PM

def buy another to join this club

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

I love this cross fired gpu hehe

(FIH) The Don · Mar 4, 2010, 11:47 PM

thats nice man,

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

now go fetch another card

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

(FIH) The Don · Mar 4, 2010, 11:52 PM

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

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

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
