zOaib · Dec 4, 2007

problem.

i was uninstalling hotfix and then installed the 7.11 cat and i keep getting this , no matter how many times i instal and then reinstall drivers , any help !!!

trog100 · Dec 4, 2007

there is some kind of driver conflict going on.. the 7.11s are not installing properly..

u can try the ati cleaner thing.. u can try going into the control panel.. device manager.. right click on VGA and manually remove the old driver..

u can try manually updating the driver from the device manager.. look for big yellow question marks in the control panel.. system folder..

Needs voltage. 3DMark06 stable @ 860/2700 now. Game stability 830/2400.

Pretty good with stock cooler i think

zOaib · Dec 5, 2007

ok ! question ?

how is everyone controlling fan speeds in CF , cause riva tuner is only ramping up fan speeds on one card , its select menu only shows one card , which is after installing CCC before CCC it was showing both cards , but then i cant run CF without CCC , so your inputs are much appreciated.

zOaib · Dec 5, 2007

oh yeah , also TPU gpuz shows crossfire disabled , is that a bug in it , because CCC has it crossfire enabled =)

HookeyStreet · Dec 5, 2007

Wheres all the info on the BIOS unlock to enable higher overclocking (I think I got that right?)

not bad at all , i scored 15k + with both cards on stock

Nice....how come you run your CPU so low m8? Your score would be a lot higher if it was running at 3.2-3.4GHz

i was considering getting these cards as I have a xfire mobo, but would there really be much of an increase, if any, vs my current setup? i have heard problems w/ SLi and Vista, but i haven't heard much of anything on xfire in vista.

thanks in advance for any input.

If your motherboard is X-Fire enabled, go for it. 2x HD 3870's will eat a single 8800GTS (rev 1) for breakfast

the gts u have currently is outclassed by the 3870 and also crossfire scales better than sli ..... and the reason i went with the CF setup myself

zOaib · Dec 5, 2007

hookey i am a lazy Oc'er when it comes to cpus , in a week ull see it go to 2.7 and then after that 2.8 ............ i do it slow and steady , also the speed is awesome as it is =)

trog100 · Dec 5, 2007

wanna buy another 3870 card my second one is on ebay.. make of that what u will... he he he

KainXS · Dec 5, 2007

right now we are working on volt mods for these cards over at xtremesystems, so far I have my card stable @810 on the core and 2125 on the memory

keep in mind that this is a 3850, with the fan set at 60% the temps of this card, even when overclocked do not go over 60C on full load and easily defeats the 8800GTS 320

so for 175 I have a card that was default 669/1900 and it overclocked to 810/2250 without a volt mod

Also, the 3850 and 3870 bios is extremely similar to the 2900PRO/XT bios's, with a hex editor you can increase the voltages and UVD to allow for even greater overclocks

Drivers For 3850

Are there better Drivers for a 3850 than CCC 7.11???

KainXS · Dec 5, 2007

no, the drivers are bad right now but they will get better, they will

I wish I had a better board though, my 4coreDual will only let me use the card at 4x sp for me its not the drivers its my terrible board and the card is overclocked beyond the 3870 stock speeds, what a waste of power

Lol not really a comparison as most places in the UK they are around the same price (I paid £152 for my GT and £158 for my HD3870 so twice as much for 2 HD3870's for around a 30% increase in performance = BAD bang for buck

Tatty_Two · Dec 5, 2007

I find it strange people are already working on voltmods for the 3870 when a decent set of drivers have not even been released for them yet, I think when Cat 7.12's come out (it seems 7.11's were very rushed) then there will be a decent performance boost in any case.

rhythmeister · Dec 5, 2007

Got mine running last night; 175 FPS average in CSS at max everything at 1440x900

NO CCC for me tho, installs fine but won't bloomin' start and I wanna see how far this goes!

Any ideas on getting CCC to run?
