There is also a small sticker with the same string and barcode stuck to the center of the board itself.

If you look close on the top there's a Profile "MC OC 725/837". I think that's how it was run.

I need a 165@2800 and 720/840 to get 13k in 3dk05 and 39600 in 3dk01. Not so far with 1 card? Sure the ram is favoring me, I run it 255 2-2-2-5 1T.

Anyway, seems Conroe is going to be the CF cpu looking at the AM3 CF score in the other thread :D

EDIT: Please note that the GPU/mem clocks in the SS are wrong, those are for the XTX card, the CF cards speeds are above.

No, HTT is a goner;)

PCMark06?

Crossfire only boosted the 05 score by ~3000 points. I'd have expected more than that.

Very Fastttt......:D :

I harp on this continually and will continue to do so. You don't see large benefits from SLi or Crossfire until 1600 x 1200 and up with AA|AF active.

See my last post in this thread for testing Crossfire vs Single card in G.R.A.W at 1600 x 1200 with 16 x AF set in game, CCC HQ AF option ticked, mips set high as possible and in game settings all on high.

Get someone with 3dmark06 Pro to test 1600 x 1200 with 4 x AA 16 x AF to properly contrast Crossfire with single card. Yes I know you are talking about '05. '06 is going to be a better stress test of what the graphics cards can do under the conditions I specified. The best measurements remain real gameplay tests however.

Crossfire or SLi to play 1280x and below without AA|AF is a waste. As you allude to.

I am eager to test Conroe in G.R.A.W (and other demanding games) to see how it holds up under the stress of fire fights, aka handling skinning, shadows, tangent space transformations, and creature AI. < There is the culprit to most of your slow downs with dual 7900 GTXs or X1900 XTs, the CPU.
