Hi,
I recieved a Spahire HD 4670 1GM DDR3 750MHz*873MHz stock and am running it in XFire with a Saphire HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 750MHz*1000MHz stock, and have the XFire setup at 778MHz*923MHz because the max GPU MHz is only 778MHz for the 512MB HD 4670 and the max memory MHz is only 923MHz for the 1GB HD 4670.
Running these at 778MHz*923MHz in XFire gave very playable framerates in the Crysis Demo of low to high 20's and very low 30's (average mid to high 20's it seemed using FRAPS), slightly but noticeably better than the two Saphire HD 4670's 512MB versions @ 765MHz*1100MHz or so running in XFire. This is odd, interseting etc.
This 1GB + 512MB setup (utilizing 512MB of RAM for each card in XFire) running at low MHz speeds scored only slightly less - 200 -330 less total 3DMark06 points, a few 10 - 20MHz less CPU points etc. - than the faster MHz speeds of the two Saphire HD 4670 versions running in XFire.
MaybeXfire is utilizing more than 512MB of RAM on the 1GB card, even though it is not supposed to????

I paid very little for my system and much, much, much less than for either of the QX9770 systems. CHEAP, but OK. Once I get my Asrock mobo that has fiddleable voltage controls on it, I should be able to increase my 5400+ BE CPU from 3.2GHz to 3.4GHz or so, and maybe also increase the voltages and speeds just a tiny bit to my video cards. Maybe. Might have to get a new HSF but I doubt it.
Interesting, and the Asrock with the SB750 in comparison to my MSI K9A2 CF v.1.0 with its SB600 should also make a positive difference.
Cheaply now , Chris
