Looks great, IQ is really good:), I might consider Xfire, but by the looks it might not worth since new cards are on their way, but who knows maybe I want something to play with.

So how is 2xHD3850 stacks up against the 2xHD3750?

good stuff :)

i got a similar 06 score 20404 with my 3870's @ 850/1261 and my Q6600 @ 4.05ghz ...under Vista x64 ...haven't benched them in XP yet but prolly hit 20500.

for the money i think these cards rock, no matter what some ppl think of the 38xx series.

good point, imo screenshots DO show what games look good and dont, they can be deceiving tho, thats ture...

the new cod4 screenshots that have been added now look much better than the ones that were up before :D

Great testing man, thanks for the effort.
I'm also thinking about getting two of these babies... they wouldn't even consume more power than my 8800 in idle mode :p

You're kidding....right? He is getting excellent performance with it.....I haven't ever run that res in the game (I run 1920*1080), but that seems about right.

I don't know HOW they got those numbers man......I stay at 45-100 FPS at 1920*1080 with everything in the game maxed out, and I RARELY drop to 30 FPS.....only with multiple grenades and dust everywhere.....
Something is most definitely wrong with those numbers.

Yea that's BS man....I just ran a few benches at 1920*1080 in game maxed.....Catalyst 7.12 and here are the results.
format is:
frames:time in ms: min FPS: Max FPS: Avg. FPS
1237 29362 31 81 42.129
2583 29047 34 147 88.925
969 13223 35 121 73.281
1470 22475 30 153 65.406

This was starting at the beginning of blackout, and you can see how long each bench is....I took benches in firefights, different parts of the first area of the map, looked in all directions, etc.
WOW I'm not sure I can ever trust an article from techreport....:rofl:
I just went back and double checked the settings....sure enough it's maxed, 4X AA and the slider for AF is all the way to the right.
They're using Catalyst 7.11, but I was getting around the same numbers as now with the Crysis hotfix, which is essentially the 7.11 beta.

After playing CoD4 with my 3870's, I was not impressed at all. Sure, the 3DMark scores were impressive, but not being able to play 1680x1050/16x/16x with a smooth frame rate wasn't worth it. I threw my GTX back in, and the 3870's are staying out.

I'm not impressed also with my 3870's playing COD4 @1920*1200. It doesn't runs smooth at all. In the "Downpour" map (Multiplayer) i have huges lags, others run a little better and very few maps run smooth.

I'm done with CF. :down: Going back to nVidia (8800GTS 512).

there's really hardly any difference (visually) between 16X AA and 4X AA
in fact, some people say it looks worse.

The ATI 2900 and 38X0 cards don't scale as well in AA. But I don't use anything past 4X AA anyway.

That's strange.......i also run Vista x64 and 1920x1200 and even 4xAA the game runs very smooth.Running 8.1 hotfix drivers and all updates, hotfixes plus sp1.
I also have flashed the cards with Daidalos bios to keep 2d and 3d the same speed.Maybe you should give it another try. :shrug:

Good luck :up:
