3x HD5870 Vantage Results

My first time using triple GPUs of any kind (ATI or Nvidia). Tight fit there with the HD5870s slotted into PCI-E x16 #1 + #3 + #5 slots.

Here's hoping to 9.12 drivers being much better :D

looking good as usual eva! i hope to test triple gpus soon too :)

And I have to say I love the P6T6 way more than the Classifieds I have had - easy to clock and well behaved ;)

CRAAAAAAAAAZY almost 4.7GHz stable vantage with CPU on water

ah ha no wonder you sold your E760 board :) You'll love the P6T6 great super pi efficiency too :)

Yeah W3570 is bloody amazing.. highest I've benched with HT enabled on H20 is 4725-4803mhz so far for 3d benching :D

Great results eva, that 3570 is working quite nice on h20 as far as I can see :up:

How's CFX scaling in the rest of the benchmarks ? Or you didn't have the time to test yet ?

nice stuff eva! 4.7 vantage on h2o is great :up: that was a w3570 from ewiz ebay store right?

thanks, rest of the results at http://i4memory.com/f18/hd5850-hd587...rs-club-21041/ just didn't want to make this thread too long winded at first hehe. 3x hd5870 scaling well in 3dmark2003, and 3d vantage (with right drivers). Not so much in 3dmark06 and 3dmark05 for 4.6ghz at least.

yup from ewiz ebay store! best US$650 spent ever!!! Regret not getting another hehe.

Very nice results! :D
Just curious... why didn't you push your GPUs to 1GHz? Overheating? Or is it just no way they are going to make it so far?

thanks zalbard :)

Just taking it easy for now slowly creeping up to it waiting for better drivers. And these new 9.12 beta (8.14.10.0716) drivers are bloody awesome for 3x HD5870 Tri-CrossfireX - new personal best scores all round for me. Even managed to squeeze out a bit more on my W3570 using 29x multi instead of 27x multi and jump in vcore from 4614mhz at 1.448v to 4695mhz 1.520v.

We need to get you using a single-stage :D Very nice results with the 9.12 drivers, the performance they provide in Vantage is stellar.

On the other hand, we need a pro air / water bencher, too. :D

Yup, Eva....its time for you to move to the "Dark Side". :D Very Nice results but wait till you go COLD!!!!! (that 3570 deserves it!!)

PS Are you using 2 CFX links for a reason?? I thought only one was recommended??

Everything stock, in air with the fan Intel
I have only 18600 3DM06 with my 4Way-Sli with 4 X 5870 :wth:

3 or 4 cards wont make much of a difference in 06, very cpu bound whit this much 3D power. CPU mhz needed :D

Nice benching (as always) mate :up:

I think your W3570 is the right chip to start with sub zero benching :D - i had the same batch (3847A696) and it scales very good with cold...

only have very old 1/4HP SS but recently got new 1156/1366 mount kit from Kayl for it - will be swapping it over xmas http://i4memory.com/f22/kayl-black-f...-1366-a-20986/ :)

indeed 3570 is screaming for some cold hehe for 2x hd5870 yeah used 2 bridges no reason just thought it would be better :)

yeah when i searched for batch info found your results - so potential is there :)

thanks - got LSI 9260-8i and Intel X25-M coming today as well :woot:



Still on leaked 9.12 8.14.10.0716 beta drivers. Tried higher cpu clock but W3570 seems to hang in CPU tests at 4723Mhz for Vantage but fine for 4753Mhz 3dmark05 at least (max 3dmark05 benched on W3570 HT On H20 is 4803Mhz).

My first bench with GPU clocked at 1000Mhz @1000/1275 :D

Could you try running 03 with 2 GPU's? Wonder if 3 is even necessary to max the cpu out at those speeds.

had one driver run for 3dmark2003 and 3x gpu definitely gives boost over 2x gpus

3Dmark2003 - nice boost 3x GPU = 158,942 VS 2x GPU = 130,936

http://fileshosts.com/intel/Asus/P6T...200_158942.png

How about with 9.12 though? :p

too much fun with 3x hd5870 right now, will try 2x later :D

No matter what i try can't get W3570 past 4700mhz HT enabled for 3d vantage cpu test while on water cooled cpu. So moved onto 3dmark05 and AM3 is much easier to hit 4802mhz HT enabled water cooled.
