RADEON HD 3870 AND 3850 Oc and Other experiences !!!

Crossfire really does, and neither does SLI, work with Crysis ATM. I brought my friend's 7900gt to pair with mine to see the performance increase... it failed.

thx for all the inputs guys , and all of you have been entered in the raffle , its always nice to have a backup mobo laying around =)

Hd3870 @ 918/1395 with stock cooling and not modded bios + warm air.
there is potential.. all we need is vmods and 1000-1100 mhz is possible with air..

overclocking wise i hit hit 830/1250. i didn't want to push it any further, it was crysis stable but the ramsinks got so hot i almost burned myself, and the core won't go above 862 anyway(i haven't flashed the new bios yet).
trog is correct about crossfire, it's not supported in crysis yet. even with my 1950's, i got the same framerate in single card mode as i did in crossfire.
and as far as drivers go, other than my pre-existing gripes about ccc and the installation error(the same one trog got) i haven't had any problems.

Both benchmarks were run with some overclock on the card, and some overclock on my little ol' opteron 939 system. I really like these cards. Now I just need to find a great cooler, and then really have some fun with it.

jpierce55 · Nov 30, 2007

I can hit 843 stable with ATI tool, but the fan controls are quirky with it. Rivatuner and CCC only give me 810 stable for some reason. Once ATI tool is settled I will use it, but for now will only do it for benchmarks, and the 810 for games. The fan is quiet and cool at 60% so my gut instinct says I will stay at ~810. 810@60%=59c

I have XP and the 7-11 CCC does not visually show. 7-10 is the one to use.

My memory is stable to 1226 anything over starts getting artifacts on ATI tool, and locks up on CCC. Over 1200 makes the card warm up fast.

I will be adding a second card when I get it

. Could be a week or two, its on backorder, but I won't pay more than the $220.

i noticed that, too. no matter what registry keys i use or msconfig settings, 7.11 ccc refuses to load on startup, i have to start it manually.

Intel is nice, I just happen to have AMD now because I didn't have enough to get the Intel processor I wanted.

What is so different about the 45nm cores that a mobo can't handle?

nice , for the price the hd 3850 is definately worth the money . are u goign to get another one for CF

devguy · Nov 30, 2007

I'm almost done putting together my new system with an hd 3850. Just waiting on the motherboard and dvd rom drive to arrive. I'll be happy to post some benchies on my PC on this newish motherboard (pcie 2.0, amd 790FX).

[I.R.A]_FBi · Nov 30, 2007

im trying hard to get one at msrp, but to no avail, and i have to put my 7900gs sale off.

The p5b deluxe supports the new 45nm chips and thats 965 chipset,so yours should.

Yup, but some 965's wont do quad core 45nm...just duellies, but as you already know......yours does both!

Works fine here with cat 7.11, running XP-64 though.

trog100 · Nov 30, 2007

the new atitool beta dosnt seem to work with these cards.. weird things happen.. i thought i could just use it for fan control but it forgets all the settings so its back to a fixed fan speed with rivatuner or just let the bloody thing get hot.. he he he

gonna try the letting it get hot approach for while..

trog

jpierce55 · Nov 30, 2007

Further note 810/1206 vs 843/1206 its about the same score. Not worth torturing the card imho. Esp. since the 60% fan level is almost non-existent noise and keeps teh 810/1206 below 60c.

Cold Storm · Nov 30, 2007

I'm really looking forward to getting a 3870 for my birthday a month after Christmas.. So now I'm just trying to figure out what type of Mobo to get since I have a AGP.

I really wouldnt consider it a waste when you consider the fact that its running in dx10. In my opinion its the same as running in dx9 at high settings. dx10 really does make a difference and is well deserved of its hype.

regarding the reply about my mobo. Yes i believe it is the same model. Its a great board and i have little complaints about it. i could actually use another as i am getting ready to rebuild my parents ancient computer (its a dell with a northwood p4 and mx4000 gpu ). my only complaint would be the fact that failed overclocks in the bios have resulted in faulty vista boots (i even had to reinstall vista once because of it). This might be however, because of my aging 420w PSU.

EDIT: i also thought it might be worth mentioning that this board does not support the new 45nm Core 2s. im not sure why, but i believe its because of the 965 chipset.

nope u are wrong
there is hude difference between medium and high
since @ medium settings most of the enviroment objects are not seen
u may get a bit better IQ but loosing enviroment effects is much more worse

AphexDreamer · Dec 1, 2007

Hey Which is better CrossFire or SLI or is their really no diffrence between the two?

For instance if ATI Cards could use SLI would it be better then it useing its CrossFire and vice Versa?

SteeMcghee · Dec 1, 2007

I personally found that the full release catalyst drivers 7.11 and the new bios combined gave me lower performance in crysis and Cs:s. I reverted back to the hotfix and reflashed my old bios and i can run both games stable with 860/1280 with 80% fan using rivatuner. I don't know whether this is an isolated issue or if there are other people experiencing it??

jpierce55 · Dec 1, 2007

The new Crossfire boasts a bigger performance boost between cards, so x-fire itself is better. Keep in mind Nvidia has faster cards.

i agree 100% i experienced same prob , although CF completely doesnt work with anything right now , so just using one card while the other is twidling its thumb under it =P

SteeMcghee · Dec 1, 2007

has anybody tried the new bios cracks for the hd3870 from iaxtech?

http://www.iax-tech.com/video/3800biosmod/02.htm

http://www.iax-tech.com/video/3800biosmod/03.htm

I was wondering whether they were more stable than the other bios?
