"Quad" 4890 CrossfireX on EVGA Classified E760

[AndreYang]

I just want to know how performance improve between Triple and Quad 4890. It only 1~2% improve on 06. For 99% people, they will be disappointed, but for 1% Top 5 overclocker. 1~2% performance is very important.



Here are some pics for sharing.

3D06 on 5.32G

This score on 5.32G is not bad. Next run 5.4G+ will be 38K+.:)

[jaredpace]

woah, 38k is WR?
Nice work Andreyang!

0_0 Holy hell Andre. Looks like you don't want to wait for 4890 X2 :p:

:up: :banana: :up:

WOW that's a really good score, keep us updated! I've been wondering who would be the first to try and attempt this. Good luck pushing 5.4 with 3dMark.

[Gunslinger]

That is sweet. :yepp: :up:

Let's see 38K :shocked:

[Hidetaka]

I just love seeing peple score 3x more than I do :rolleyes:

P.S. Do you have results for a setup with same clocks but 3 cards "only"? I'd like to know the exact difference from going 3 -> 4.

[Movieman]

Impressive Andre..:up:
I'm curious, what are you using for PSU's to power that beast?

[xman01]

excellent results

[chew*]

Interesting bios you got loaded to those cards............

Wonder where you get the idea from.

[Vienna]

Perhaps the flexable extender card may of interfered with some of the performance of the 4th card? I'd sat get a single slot watercooler for the 3rd video card so that you can fit them all on without resorting to an extender and see if that improves any(even if only by 1 or 2%).

Other than that AWESOME!!!

Looks like TurboCool 1200's from the pictures....

[denice25]

thanks for the share.... cool...

[gaidin]

always an interesting read when you start a new thread Andre :D

[STEvil]

Could pair two X2's with two single cards and run 6x crossfire..

[leonarderman]

Could pair two X2's with two single cards and run 6x crossfire..

:rofl: I'm waiting the new driver can be run 6x or 8x crossfireX :shocked:

Congrat Andre! But I want WR is AMD :D

[AndreYang]

PC Power & Cooling T12W 1200W for mobo and first card

Silverstone ZM1200 for 2 3 4 cards




Could pair two X2's with two single cards and run 6x crossfire..

Driver limit is 4 core

Idea is from Shamino.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

truely amazing Andre, get tweaking so you can take the top on the bot!

[mike]

cool stuff Andre! welcome back to 2001!

Don't waste your time in 06 with this - look elsewhere to apply that power!

[EXPANDER]

good bench. 38k+ Coming comfortable income.:up:

[crustytheclown]

I wonder what your score will be in 3dmark03 with this setup???C'mon Andre!!!

[chew*]

I wonder what your score will be in 3dmark03 with this setup???C'mon Andre!!!

1800 points less than 3.......

[sofos1990]

Nice setup Andre!!!:D
Congrats for the second place on hwbot:up:.....Vince is next???:p::)
What about you next step? LN2 on the cards?:D

[dinos22]

1800 points less than 3.......

interesting

also that bios must have fixed not being able to publish the run....i think Jody had some issues with 4xcards

[AndreYang]

03 is very very powerful. I am still testing.


3D05 first.

[dpa]

Can you beat it?

[AndreYang]

It's my plan next week.

[sofos1990]

I can imagine......:p:
Don't forget to show us photos from the setup:)

[Smoking]

That bios is old news version 1 ....I made a better 1 actually 3 total since and unlocked CCC limits as well.....works way better than GPU tool

[blind_ripper]

@ chew can pm me those bios's whit unlocked ccc limits ? .

[Brandybuck]

Great scores always andre:up: I wonder 3d03 for this setup:D

[TheKarmakazi]

Awesome work andre :up: Im really looking forward to 03 with all the cards put on LN2. Sick setup man :)


WOW that's a really good score, keep us updated! I've been wondering who would be the first to try and attempt this. Good luck pushing 5.4 with 3dMark.

We did this over the weekend at my benchparty. 3oh6 had quadfire going on his classi briefly.

[Dragonx21]

Andre, 760 better then 759 even with 4 VGAs?

[eva2000]

guess what happened with 4 pots and 5.5G+.................


It's my plan next week.

chew interesting bioses.. any info/links i can read up on those ? :)

[D0m|nat0R]

very very impressive setup andre :)

[dominick32]

all i can say is WOW

[ahmad]

This is insane. I don't care where you live, I am going to break into your house and steal all your toys and break the wrs. I am not waiting for next week...

[jmke]

nice improv with the PCIe expansion :D

[pepinorang]

Nice numbers as always andre, keep pushing it :up:

I've buy 4x HD4890 since their launch, but even if I had thinking of it, no riser for me, just a wb :p:
I heard that risers limit performance over a classical PCIe port, can you confirm this ?

Now I need to find a strong D0 :rolleyes:

Bye

3D03 170K+ card on air. It's not bad at all.

Andre, you're pushing really hard mate :up: Great score, keep it up ! :up:

[Viss]

Very very impressive, good luck on 180k :up:

[sofos1990]

Amazing score!!!:D
Congrats m8!!
Keep it up!

[[XC] Oj101]

Wow :eek: :shocked: is all I can say!

Where did you get that PCIe ribbon extender? I could do with one :D

Did anybody notice that he did this on Windows 7? :shocked:

[George_o/c]

No need for a PCIe riser. They sometimes cause weird problems, that may result in decreasing performance. Just like Jody initially showed to us, you could always remove the heatsink of the third card, replace it with a Thermalright HR03, put the fourth card next to it, and go crazy :D

Of course he did it on Windows 7, they give quite big a boost on 3DMark03 :up:

[xwards]

Sick scores Andre :clap:

[perkam]

C'mon 40K '06 You can DO IT !! :D

Perkam

[Kinc]

Awesome 03 Andre! :toast: And air only lol :D

[Zucker2k]

Gratz, Andre.

[ahmad]

congrats andre! !!!!!!!!!!

but you are getting lazy :D. Just because you score this high on air, doesn't mean you shouldn't be running something better.

with 4 cards, I imagine a 10mhz core clock increase across all cards should give a large boost.. haha.

[gaidin]

turning HT off give you much of a boost in your 3D clocks?

[AndreYang]

not really. some cpus are unstable when you turn HT off.

[bartx]

That's absolutely crazy ;) Keep pushing man :up:

[gaidin]

ok cool, I still wish my 3540 would clock even something close to this one of yours :D

5.1 3d stable is all I can manage :shakes:
