Don't worry, Shintai just hates AMD. I don't think theres been a thread where this character hasn't crapped all over AMD's products, no matter how good they may be.Quote:

C'mon lads give us some blistering drivers and make those game programmers to enhance crossifre and SLI support in their games...
I think all will depend on the retail street price of these cards if they will be popular or not... and I'm pretty sure they will shine with a beefy CPU and at high resolutions.... if we get a good catalyst release...
or 2 3870 and a mars board, i'm pretty sure that works :PQuote:

However, the rest appear to be driver related issues. I also assume that GDDR4 from CF is also contributing to better performance.

Testbed
Maybe that explains the delay in releasing early? I read somewhere ATI is reworking the drivers.
And it's done on an unknown OS: "Windows vista Unimate"... :p:
Yes, the new drivers are supposedly giving pretty significant boosts to performance as rumored by a lot of reviewers, hence the release date + nda were pushed back to original
"a lot of reviewers" ? Where are "the lot" that can know anything about the new drivers in the making? :confused: And is one week enough time for the new Catalyst to be ready?
i also heard new catalyst next week

of course next catalyst 8.2 its not a 100% driver , but a lot of Bugs with Cat 8.1 + HD3870X2 maybe solved in Cat 8.2 ....
let´s wait and see
next week i also will receive a Powercolor HD3870X2 to test!

With all of these SLI and dual chip cards the former 3dfx people are probably laughing their asses off... they were ahead of their time... :)
Of course, you're right Mascaras. Already the 28th next monday, oh how time flies.
No. A single fast GPU would be more than enough for you.Quote:
