i got 2 from mwave today
checking the bios"es" and find out there is 860 lock again on P1. P0 doesn't seem to have lock but not sure
P0 P1? yes there are 2 bioses on one card

Hahaha two BIOSes on one card :rofl:
More evidence to support the claim that the cores operate independently ;)
memory doesn't overclock high either.... BJ1A but weird... 999 is not reachable
What board partner are your cards from?
i bought from mwave
sapphre
Is there any way to watercool these cards currently?
I thought of 4 MCW60s, but it would require at least 2 loops...
what cat did it come with? have you tried CF yet?
Ton
no, you need to have a new mounting. distance between 2 holes are shorter than 2900XT / 3870
CF? what CF? 1 card is CF already lol. and 2 cards is QCF which is not support by any driver. 8.531Quote:

denny, sorry i meant quad fire. i was hoping you had some new bios. I want to do tri fire :)
good luck

hehe, of course there is :D
no driver working for quad cards?
What is the price for one of these?
why they don't fix that bug strange
Coz they dont need to ;) It affects overclockers...1-2% of the market? and technically acts as a kind of insurance for card protection. overclocking is one thing, but how many people are willing to flash the BIOS on a GPU?
Im sure there will be custom BIOS available for these cards soon :)
Denny: If you can, please can you post up some pics of the back of the card, and we can get voltmods sorted for these cards ASAP? (unless you already have the voltmods done!)
:toast:
It's gotta be pre-mature bios/drivers. I think the communication still isn't quite 100% perfect on the card yet; needs some more fine tuning. We'll see when Sapphire releases a bios update in the next few weeks and CAT 8.2's are out.Quote:

That could also be a possibility. Perhaps ATI wanted to squeeze every bit of extra performance out that they could, so they made the timings tighter than spec to get more memory bandwidth.Quote:

just like everyone bought a 7950GX2 over 7900GT SLI :rolleyes:Quote:

Not really sure if the first statement was meant to be a statement or sarcasm.. My statement was based on the lack of quad-fire support, if you could quad-fire these cards then they'd be kick-ass benching and gaming cards, but since you can't, just get some 3870's and run them at 900/2400 and stomp all over the X2's.Quote:

for the memory clock, i believe either voltage too low, or amd lock it
