only 249p to 06 wr , these x2s will rock. Very nice start guys

[[XC] gomeler]

Impressive guys, looking forward to some "real" results

[revogamer]

[T_M]

tasty tasty

[G H Z]

Rip it up guys

[philbrown23]

man push it just a tad higher and take that 06 WR NOW!

[Charles Wirth]

Nice start, good to see some strong numbers.

[elmor]

Good numbers but can surely be better You WILL get the 3DMark06 WR if you can push the FSB a bit higher, preferably at PL6. What board are you using? Also will you show us some Vantage?

..yes you are right, they are really impressive

tasty tasty

Rip it up guys

man push it just a tad higher and take that 06 WR NOW!

you cannot understand how frustrating is to stay away just 249 point from the goal, but trust me, we had a really hard night with those bad girls

Nice start, good to see some strong numbers.

I hope to show them soon master

well Elmor, you know more than any other people here about my expereince with those nice beasts. We had some issue with driver, clocks, compatibility. i don't wanna speack about that now, because i alwayse suppose that is my fault, not hardaware/software/driver problems, I need to study more.
We started to bench yesterday 3:00 pm, stopped today morning @ 7:00 am ( I'm stepping to bed now ).
I'm not fully satisfied about the results, we didn't have no more time\energy to use some 8600 for 01\03\05.

For that test we used ASUS P5E64 WS Professional, just because we know this mobo really well.
We'll swap soon to Rampage Extreme .

About Vantage, you'll see some numbers by the end of the week, we had a strange issue with CALICO, always crashed ( even @ 3.6 gg) .... I'm investigating

[gillll]

we're getting closer to a fullhd gaming with filters.....(crysis)
consoles beware the pc is coming back !!!

Yeah, I know ofc. Just some suggestion on how to improve, scores are already good Get some sleep and try again, that should improve things a lot

Good luck with the continued testing and hope you've solved your issues!

[massman]

Impressive Giorgio!

The drivers are a pain-in-the-ass at the moment (at least, that's what I heard going around) and you really, really need a damn fast cpu to get the X2's unleach all power. Since you've dealt with all those problems, you should be proud you still managed to only miss the WR by such little margin. Good luck on your next try!

we had a really hard night with those bad girls

[WaterFlex]

omg! how much did you pay for that 2 bad girls !!!
Guys, tell me, is HD4870x2 is the best of the best ?

[T_M]

Yes 4870X2 is shaping up to be the premium card

[btdvox]

Im interested in buying two of these, from benchies, some of the benchies seem to have great scaling and some seem to not even work and give negative performance...

Judging from this it seems its working nicely!
Can you by any chance get your qx9650 to 4.2 and see what the 3dmark score is LOL!

[disruptfam]

yummy!

I know what you want to tell...Is very hard Play with 4870X2 now...But if you find the right time are really powerful cards

Congratz for result

[FatAlbert]

memory xtreme + cfx hd4870 x2 = ftw in 06

[fubarswe]

Congrats guys to job well done! :-)

[loopy83]

miam miam.... cant wait to test such a 4870X2 for my own... this is a Killercard...

[jimmyz]

Awesome job. I can't wait to see what they can do with some more voltage.

[Olly_K]

that is awesome ! I was going to say why not bench with XP for more points, but your using 4 gpus, not 2 ! doh

I get mine tomorrow, I can't wait. Still on air at the momentm waiting for LittleDevil to build my phase !
