I noticed from the ATI Catalyst Panel there is no separate slider for the shaders/SPs.
I had thought ATI was going to have separate clocks for the gpu core and shaders this time, like what Nvidia does :shrug:
Uh oh... ;)Quote:

Doesn't matter you know, as long as the new ATI cards perform well, which they seem to do.
I asked to give a guy a break. Nothing else really :)Quote:

Old habits die hard I guess :D But my point still stands :) This isn't official review and the performance is far from conclusive and I don't quite understand why Nvidia users get so insecure at times. Yes there is a lot of hype about the 4850, and it makes sense to want to get a handle on it, but you don't start posting randomly in someone's thread. You ask them if they want to do the comparison, or you open a separate thread (you can) comparing your results vs his.
99% threads go down the drain because members don't respect the wishes of the threadstarter. It's HIS thread, ask him before you start posting comparisons which take away from everyone's experience who are here to take a sneak peek at REAL results for the new generation of chips :)
There's the wrong way to do it, and the right way to do it: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=191542 :)

have to admit i'm pullin for AMD/ATI on this one. so far from what i've seen it's looking good. :)
pretty sure it's the Quad as when i upgraded from dual to quad it stopped my min frames going say under 50 as before they where going under 30Quote:

I think these cards are worth the hype they are receiving.

06 in vista 64 same as before with 4ghz quad.but with x-fire and 8.6 drivers, default card clocks. and IQ......... 20,287 (single 14,254 About 42% if my math is right).
05 in vista same deal as above. ..................25,562 (single 22,150 only about 15%)
Vantage single card score ..........................7,444 crossfire 10,654 (about 43% improvement)
crysis in xp was bugged so I am disregarding the scores for xp for now going to run vantage and then re-install on xp and get some stuff up in a bit.
i hope for some game benches... cod4 and crysis. thx
Can i request very high crysis with 4AA in CF?any res will do, preferably at 1600x1200 or above...much appreciated mate. And i wonder whether any flickering happens in CF very high like CF3870 with previous cat 8.5
