Sweet, i might consider adding a HIS 3870 ice3Q turbo in CFX with my 3850 Ice3Q turbo. I got my new DFI 790FX-M2RS Yesterday. I am still putting her back together. The CFX possibility is most appealling. With two nice Ice3Q turbos sitting side bye side and my OCZ ATI crossefire edition ram.

Well I guess I will have to work at least another month to ad another Video card in there. I will see then.

Dude, thanks Erocker. Looks like Ill be downloading these and forgoing my tweakforce drivers, that is, until they get 8.4s made :D

mrhugglesCCC failed to load for me, well it loaded but i couldnt get at it. went back to 8.2 [im in xp]

had the same issue in XP - keep trying!

My third attempt to un/install 8-4 succeeded.
3DMark06 improved ~200 points (HD3850) and this driver feels faster overall (for me)

Just tested with 8.4's and crossfire. Wow! Take a look at the 3dMark06 discussion thread here. These drivers rock!:rockout:

i didn't notice a difference at first, so i did another deep clean of the driver and ccc. installed 8.4, and BAM i notice difference now. but only with a single card :(

It's because with two cards your system is bottlenecked. A new Phenom would help that out.

I have my Phenom 9600BE up for sale for $185. Also 8.4 worked fine I also never had any problems with 8.3. I have windows xp home

All of my games got atleast a 5fps boost with these. TF2 I alot better now! It used to dip in the 20's when I ran onto the 2fort bridge but now its in the 40's :D

Where you talking about my cards? or somebody else?:)

Yes I was actually talking about your processor. I just did a ton of testing with crossfire and a 5000+ BE. There is deffinitely a bottleneck.

yeah, see that too. Bottlenecks really bad during encode. I plan to get a phemon sometime this summer. Not in less I can get this one sold sooner. :D

Phemon 9850 yeah? or na?
Thats what i'm thinking about getting

9850 ftw! Let these new drivers shine!:)

Well yea :p Try and clock it to 3ghz man!

ShadowFoldWell yea :p Try and clock it to 3ghz man!

yeah that's what i plan to do. i seen on another site were a guy got 3.2ghz. but 3ghz i should be able to get that on air. couldn't i?

Yes, and let's keep this thread on topic please. Thanks.:)

You would think. I know that one review guy did.

Did not work out too well for me. I get something regarding "setup could not complete can not find matching hardware" or something of that nature so I just reverted back to Omegas 4.84. Those work actually very well.

so hmmm this drivers truly show their potential on windows XP huh? anybody noticed something different on vista? :confused:

Any official support for HD38x0 series on AGP?

Would be nice for AMD to throw us a bone three months after they released AGP HD3850 cards :ohwell:

warup89so hmmm this drivers truly show their potential on windows XP huh? anybody noticed something different on vista? :confused:

No, they just actually work with crossfire and XP unlike 8.3's. There should be no problems with Vista. 8.3's worked fine for me with XP as well but only with a single card. Crossfire was broken.

15th WarlockAny official support for HD38x0 series on AGP?

Would be nice for AMD to throw us a bone three months after they released AGP HD3850 cards :ohwell:

The release notes state that it covers all 38XX series cards. No where does it say it's limited to PCI-E. Have you tried the 8.4's yet?

These drivers fixed CCC OC for my 3870, happy camper here.

With 8.3 and mild OC (800/1200) I would get a hard crash every 1h of gaming :/

I'm useing 8.2 ATM with a Powercolor X1950XT 512mb, do you think I'll see any differance? and is there any notabled bug fixs from 8.2 to 8.4?

I've noticed a bit of a drop, from 5296 with 8.3's in 3DMark06 to 5082. :(

I've also lost frames in CoD 4, might reinstall them and give them another shot in the mouth before I go back to the 8.3's or even 8.2's.

3DMark05/06: A performance drop is no longer noticed when running the
benchmark under Windows XP.

that's right !
after the poor 8.3+hotfix now a perfect driver . thanx ATI ! :respect:

PFFFT!

Depends on which card you have.
