AND GIVE US SOME BENCHIES :D
cant u drop 3 of them in there and go for the 3d mark 06 record
*subscribed*
any non-3DMark benchies would be hugely appreciated. i was hoping to buy one for myself on Thursday, but it would be great to know more about them before they're released.
OMG you are my hero!! :O
tests later in the week? pffft NDA will be lifted by then anyway
Alright you convinced me....I'll do some testing tonight. it won't be thorough but I'll try to do 3Dmark and crysis gpu bench.
those are all over the place already. you shouldn't get any performance inrease on Crysis yet. hopefully they release a CF driver for it this month.Quote:

i can link to a dozen other sites that already have 3DMark and Crysis benchmarks. i'm not sure why everyone wants to see more of the same. CoD4 and Test Drive Pro Street would at least be different, and they both have free demos on the web in case Crazy doesn't own them. it would be nice to see something new after seeing the same 3DMark benches over and over again.
I'm with you, need more comparisons on other games.Quote:

This is XS. if you ask "what do ya wanna see?"...someone WILL ask for synthetics.
beautiful :up:Quote:

looking good. is this with 7.10 driver?
these are on catalyst 8.43 RC4 drivers
Very nice, lets see some more benchies!!! You crazy pinoy:p:Quote:

Any chance for a CSS stress test?
I'll have more tomorrow...i'm totally dead from work today. I was gonna run the WIC bench but i can't seem to find my key.
I'll run AM3 tomorrow too.
single card runs?
something seems wrong. maybe it's just due to immature drivers, but i think
my 1900s in CrossFire would do better than that. i know my resolution is
only 1680x1050, but i ran that test with my dual core @ 2.8 and a pair of
Radeon 1900 XT's at stock speed.
all game settings maxed except Soft Shadows and 4xAA / 4xAF. this is what
i got. sorry for the huge pic, but Photobucket is down atm.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...tressTest2.jpg
i'd expect those 3870's to run circles around my old 1900's once the drivers
are ready.
ouch, yeah i hope cat 7.11 fixes this. should be out soon though, like maybe this weekend?
@MrBunglex You are running on 1680*1050 and 4xAA/4xAF and he is running on 1920*1080 maxed out (2 pic) and first 2x/4x,so that isnt much comparable
Can you agree with him to test it with 1680*1050 4xAA/4XAF and everything maxed,everything...
Suscribed... i'll wait more results...
Totally Suscribed..... More or less just waiting for these to become available in the States. :)
I can make a FEAR run at those settings tonight if you like.
I gotta say that these cards at stock with my setup got me 19500 in 3Dmark06 in Vista64. Not too shabby. Definitely faster than my 2900XT's at stock.
The drivers are definitely buggy as i was not able to OC them with the overdrive function. I tried through rivatuner and it only oc'd one card.
I'm gonna talk to amd today and see what I can dig up.
***almost forgot: my hard drive w/ XP busted and I'm too lazy to load it on another drive so all my tests are in Vista64***
Vista 64 is the future. :)
i hope i didn't come off as as being competitive. i certainly wasn't trying to put my old 1900's in a pissing contest with these new cards ;)
in fact, i already sold both my 1900's on E-Bay in anticipation of buying two HD3870's for myself. i have high hopes for these cards.
They get creamed by the 8800GTs... read the benchies...Quote:

http://my.ocworkbench.com/bbs/attach...1&d=1194867409
youve all seen this image right?
the one that looks promising to me is 8x 16x bar for 3870 cf (12815!)....wot i want to know is will this translate over into uber game performance?.
As for any Futuremark stuff translating into "uber" gaming far from it.... only drivers will tell now how big of a success the 3870 is...although opening benches show it only slightly better than the 2900XT but its very promising none the less.
agreed chaos... that's why i was sure to post the one where the 3870 and the gt got the same frame rate in crysis.
Hey Crazypinoy9, whats up man? from what ive heard tomorow there will be the new drivers out for the 38xx cards, CC 8.0. run the crysis benchie on one card with those drivers please.
Not to mention, the rv670's image quality appears to better, apparently nvidia is supposedly kinda cheating with their latest benchmarks to get their fps higher by lowering the image qualityQuote:

i've seen the Radeon/GeForce screenshots, and there is no question that the IQ with the Radeons was dramatically better. Nvidia definitely tried to pull a fast one on us with rigged drivers.
as far as the Radeons getting creamed, i disagree. they definitely got beat, but i see a horse race in the near future. the next couple sets of drivers should help the dust settle a little. i also think the Radeons will have more overclocking headroom, so i'm hoping some of the uber geeks on this forum will put out a revised BIOS for those of us that don't know how to do that sort of thing :D
and then there is the issue of chipsets. like most people, i have an Intel chipset, so a pair of 3870's in CrossFire is my best hope for top of the line performance. i should be able to smoke a single 8800 GTX once i buy my new cards :D
I'm looking forward to buying one tomorrow. Wish I could afford 2 atm.
those nvidia drivers have been corrected i believe, hence the reason the frame rate is now the same between the two as is the IQ.
well a 2900XT gets about 55fps in FEAR 1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF
so even though that bench looks a little low for xfire it's probably not far away in reality, FEAR is still pretty demanding especially at that res and full filtering/sampling.
I got the new drivers yesterday and to be honest with you the results were the same. I don't have ss for it but I ran the crysis bench running both 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 at both very high and high settings with NO AA and it ran like crap. not only that but crysis kept crashing on me every once and a while. I was very dissappointed. **this was on two cards**Quote:

Are you sure crossfire is working in Crysis?? There seems to be alot of driver issues with the newer games....
Well according to ATI the drivers they provided me yesterday had "improved" support for crysis in crossfire mode. I gonna talk to them again later today.Quote:

crysis game play sucks no matter what gfx card you're running imo. i don't know if it's sloppy code or what, but it's annoying. i'm not bothering to purchase it until i can max the crap out of it and actually have it look the way it should.
afaik, there is no sli support for crysis and i'm not sure about crossfire... but i'm going to go out on a limb and say no to that one too. this is pure speculation though.
I'm not using the demo. Full version.Quote:

Thank goodness someone is saying it. Sloppy code was my first thought. I've seen first hand how sloppy code can make an otherwise fantastic product, well, crappy.Quote:

set it on High or Medium and enjoy yourself. it will have a great replay value when people can go back a year later and play it with next generation's high end hardware.
It's your 8600...Quote:

:ROTF:
i can't believe it.. i have been waiting and waiting, i knew they were coming out today and as soon as i got home from work they were all sold out at 219.00 dollars. i am kind of bummed out as i have never owned a pcie card or computer yet and now that i have one built sitting here waiting for x-fire i have to wait even longer..
what did you expect? the best graphics you've ever seen in a game that can run on a GeForce 8600? i played it on Medium settings and it was still gorgeous. they could simply remove the Very High settings from the options menu to make people feel better about their computers. then those people can brag to their friends that they can max Crysis :rolleyes: . i like that the game was designed to still look good in the future. we can all go back a year from now and still marvel at how good the graphics look. nobody could max F.E.A.R. at high resolution when it came out either.Quote:

hey silly, who said anything about an 8600? i think you're missing my point entirely.
oh, and let us know how you like the new cards!
I go into vulture mode on new hardware releases :)
Had my 3870s from NCIX the moment they listed, will post some benches tomorrow with X38 and dual 3870's
lol,, vulture mode..
looking forward to it chaos!!!
I play crysis on a 8600gts oc and its ok, 20-30 fps with a mix of medium to very high settings using custom config, the res is quite low at 760p but cant really complain..
damn...only 220 usd in the US, I have to pay 280 for mine :(
it's $280 in the stores here. we just have good Web deals.Quote:

the size of our market is probably the biggest factor, but i'm sure it doesn't hurt that Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are all American companies (and ATI is now owned by AMD).
sorry if this thread has gotten off topic, but the OP isn't posting very many benchies!
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/d...asp?deptID=894
the above link has a driver hotfix for ATI cards. it claims improved Crysis performance and improved Crysis CrossFire performance. it looks like it's just a beta for the soon to be released 7.11 Catalyst, so it will be mainstream very soon anyway.
Just so you all know.
The official release date of 7.11 driver is Nov.21st.
You didn't hear this from me:D :D :D
why do you say that? so you won't get b*tched at when they push it back another month? :p:Quote:

I'll be watching this thread closely as I'm ordering 2 3870's to replace my GT once they are in stock
I've already got one. Think I'm going to end up ordering 2 more when the Egg has them in stock. :)Quote:

you little Sh*te head! :p: :D
it was more of a joke. but of course you're right that the release date might get pushed back but judging by what i got today it's lookin pretty good.Quote:

cheap g cards are like cheap oil atm ...scarce.:yawn:
i'm pretty sure the egg will still be selling them for $219... the problem lies with when they actually get them in stock. if they don't come in till the new year, i'm waiting for the new high end cards.
Crysis benchmarks, please. I think 8800GTs in SLI will be better.
Lemme guess 7.11 Beta... :-P
Der... what else could it be?
RC4, I believe.
stinking the egg could have made a million plus these last 2 days just off sales they would have made on the 3870..that is if they would have had enough to supply the majority with our needs instead of teasing us.
