If you download it from steam I think it's the patched one, not 100% sure though.
Also, you running the bench too for Crysis 1.2 or Warhead? Warhead benchmarks hated me... :( You can get the demo and just run one of the bench tools as it runs through the beach level.
Oh, and put it 4xAA and 8xAF :D
hmm try arma o nfs shift or smthng i am sick of this old games and vantage scores
I got the shift demo but I dunno how to bench it, any tips?
I tried vantage at the defaults, I think everything was set to Performance and I could not change. Though Jared has been kind enough to give me a key so if u guys want a specific res up to 1920x1080 and settings let me know and I can re-run. My score on a 5870 + i7 965 stock clocked
3DMark Score P16951 3DMarks
CPU Score 21466
Graphics Score 15840
Since the default res was 1280x1024 I may have been cpu limited, dunno.
Oh and no Physx card/nvidia gpu present.
nascasho I was running crysis warhead with some benchmark tool that came up with I googled crysis warhead benchmark lol
which demo are you suggesting I dl and run/bench?
Gimmie one min while I find it, wanna keep you on this page, lol.Quote:

Oh, and here: http://www.gamershell.com/news_42876.html?gr_i_ni <--- demo.
I think that proves the legitimacy of the 5870 Vantage leak on that Turkish forum. He just had a poor CPU score compared to postumus's that brought down his overall score.
3dVantage GPU scores:
---Postumus 5870 score: 15840
--leaked 3dv 5870 score: 15853
-4870x2 850/1000 score: 17377
4890cf 1000/1000 score: 20422
-GTX295 no phsyx score: 16725

What I'm trying to fathom is how it would run in Crossfire, even w/ a 15k score which is actually really good. I'm trying to figure out if getting two of them would be a bad move... That Crysis benchmark will let me know. "I love me some early morning Crysis".
I score 22k, but thats obviously with PhysX and get an avg of 40+ fps in Crysis WH w/ NO AA. If this thing will do the famous 4xAA and 8xAF and still maintain a 40+ I'm amazed. I can't stand running two cards because of the damn heat, plus I've always wanted to run dual GTX 295's but heat + summer here = I can only play games for about 20min, lol.
haha im trying nascasho im also working from home at the sametime on my laptop ;)
i also prefer single gpu configs, i think the gt300 will have a hard time beating this while remaining price competitive.
I dont think i will be getting a 5870 nowQuote:

that 5870 score is really :banana::banana::banana::banana:. imho i expected faster scores.
my mate with a 4890 gets 11 half k on vantage with that 1 gpu.
dont know what im going to do now, i have £600 set aside aswell for getting 2x 5870s on launch day 23rd arghhhh i also had 2x 4890s in CFire at 1k speeds and that to me looks like it slaughters the 5870 in vantage arghhh yet again :( why did i get rid of them ...

Plus I got AION coming up soon and gotta do some cleaning before I start putting long gaming hours in, in this dual setup sometime my temps blow past the 76C mark... :/
Oh, how are the temps?
lol maybe wait for release drivers? ;)
Honestly nascasho I really like it, it's very fast, it's not too power hungry, or loud. But I generally use furmark to see the gpu temp when stress tested. Furmak doesn't seem to detect the temps on this card though.
Darn, thats new drivers then... :( Did you run into any weird issues like crashing so far, anything graphics related?Quote:

nope no crashing or instability of anykind, "Rock Solid, Heart Touching" as Asus would put it. ;)
nice of you :up: postumus
LOL. Nice postumus. "rock solid, heart touching" I like it. Do you happen to have any other graphics cards that you could do a comparison with? Like a trial run through DMC4 on a 9800gtx or 4870 or something...
@Virus2k: looks like CF4890 & 4870x2OC's are beating the 5870 in Vantage, however I feel it is a different story when it comes to FPS in actual games... Depends if you want gaming performance or benching performance...
I believe some1 showed some scores in either RE5 or DMC4 and my 5870 8xAA was faster than a 4870x2 4xAA, I don't play 3dmark but I will bench it for u guys further if there any requests.

Cross yo finga's!
How about a run on the Extreme and High presets? Someone posted a link to the crysis demo & benchmark tool a few posts back, maybe you could give that one a go, and then he could show you a comparison on GTX260s in SLI...Quote:

if you do then it would also be awesome if you CF'ed the 5850 and 5870 to see what you get(since the 5870 will downclock to match the 5850), then we'll know if 5850 CF will be a good deal or not.
Farcry2 bench would be great,

Jared I'm dling the crysis demo and benchmark tool, the demo is 1.7gigs and it is taking a long time to dl, I'm at 26% and I started quite some time ago.
I do not have a 5850 sorry.
A vantage run on the 'Extreme' preset would be much appreciated...along with the FPS from each test. :)
Now that you have 3DMark Vantage, can you do full test and post all subscores? I'm very interesting in PerlinNoise, because this test shows ALU power of GFX! Thanks in advance postumus!
