Sure are smoking cards.

In more ways than one. Won't have to worry about furnace oil this winter.

Skiman the cost vs benefit of the 3rd and 4th cards arn't worth it (as I am comparing it to a lone 4870). Unless the goal is to spend $1300. If Rone and Clarke got monitors that can do 2560x1600 go right ahead, call me an idiot!

You'd better have a CPU that does 4.5GHz then, because you're not going to get 4000-5000 more points than a single card otherwise, '06 is far to CPU bottlenecked.

You guys are being retarded.

Don't for one.. Use me as an exmaple when it comes to overclocking. I could be bullshitting.. But im not

And im not that good at OCing im just a average joe..

Ben is right with my second card I had to severely overlcock my CPU along with tweak the voltages to get it stable to work. Not to mention I OC'd the cards themselves.

Yes the bottleneck is the CPU. But alot of things contributed to my big jump in 3dmarks. .

Anyhow im back to a new master plan. Back to a single card. And it's not the 3870 because I already been there.

TTY SOON!

I guess is everyone buys a whole bunch of the 4780x2's the price will go down. If it saves me some cash I'm all for it. But then I gotta get a 750W PSU.

Good score in 06, and with Vista. Are you going to bench in XP? I'm sure you'll crack 24k.

Clarke · **Posted:** Sat Sep 06, 2008 11:36 am

no i dont see any reason for using xp plus its a pain in the ass to reload all of my stuff

i will crack 24k today 2 4870x2' crossfire

i should not have any fps dropp my highest fps are

return to proxycon 136fps
firefly forrest 120fps
cpu test 1 3fps
cpu test 2 4fps
cannon flight 192fps
winterchill 130fps

thats the peak numbers they drop but i hope the other card will help keep it up
