Sweet about time they fixed where the peeps with 2900xt in Crossfire can overclock both cards and not have to do Bios flashs.

Both lead to your 3850 CF review.

Mascaras, you proved a week ago that CF works. Maybe you mean it now works in Vista 32-bit?

I notice around 6-10fps improvement, around the opening scene in mascaras' ss i get around 35-40 previously probably 25-30. Using custom very high dx9 on XP i see no improvement though.

Crysis DX10 and CF still no go :(

But it is somehow better than 7.11 or HotFix drivers because framerate is higher though loads of corruption is still visible....

On the positive side PT Boats Knights of the sea benchmark is running perfectly in CF :) (previously it was running much slower in CF than on single card)

PS. I did it that big coz some people were missing that and asking belove... :) Hope it helps :D

mascaras, how much did you score with single 3870 before this driver?

I got 32 fps on GPU Bench with single 3870. Single 8800GT scores 44 fps.
All at 1280x1024 High on Vista, btw.

Crysis (Crossfire, 1680x1050, all high settings, WinXP):

With 7.11 drivers (Q6600@3,6GHz, default VGA frequencies) ---> 24fps
With 7.12 drivers (Q6600@3,6GHz, default VGA frequencies) ---> 37fps

Great work, ATI!

im not in vista , im using XP

in Vista Crysis seems not working , but acording to CRYTEK (via e-mail) its not ATI driver fault , its the game NOT optimized for ATI Multi-gpus and They also said they will release a Patch for game soon

even in XP only in first and second level seems to work with CF = game not 100% optimized for AMD/Ati multi gpus (like Crytek said via E-mail) ;)

btw: cat 7.12 seems to boost every game , and also seems better using AA

Crysis mit ATI Cysis Hotfix:
WIN XP PRO SP2 DX9 HIGH (kein AA/AF) - 1280x1024
2xHD3870 @ 825/1226MHz
E4400@ 3,2GHz
ABIT IX38 QuadGT
