I received a driver for Crossfire X and test 3870X2*2. I am surprised it worked perfect at 3870X2*2.
Here is 3D06 testing.
MB: ASUS Maximus Extreme BIOS 1001
CPU: QX9650 440*10=4.4G
Ram: Cellshock DDR3 1760 CL7-6-5-18-1T
VGA: ASUS 3870X2*2

You did it again! Do some new WRs my friend! :up:
Could you test Crysis with very high details and resolutions and compare results to setup with only one 3870x2 card?
Where can we get the drivers?
can u test one thing, from 4.3 to 4.4g cpu does gt3 rise?
i've seen some air cooled 3Dmark03 numbers a week ago
and all i have to say is :shocked: :D

mhhhh very nice andre :D :toast:
500 points from 100mhz, interesting :)
did you clock all the 4 gpus to the same clockspeed?
Looks like they're both @ default saaya. All tests are scaling w/cpu, Canyon is just more obvious.
Good news on the drivers Andre, thanks :up:
All defaultQuote:

i guess we should change the standard resolution for all 06 benches to 1680x w AA/AF... or higher ^^
Thank you share Andre ! :up:
Sham, don't you mean 5300 to 5400? :p:
You had much better GT3 at 5200 and 5400 than that so he must have headroom.
Thanks for sharing Andre. :up:
sweet scores I can't wait for the o.c.results.
very nice Andre
i think is possible near 30k all watercooled
+1... Any idea when these will be available to the public???Quote:

Sweet. I would ask you if you could "release" the drivers, but i doubt that i'll have those Radeons for more then a few hours from now... every other driver i tried doesn't work properly. :/
how about 5.8Ghz on the cpu...? :D

This is gonna be a battle between Hirpo & Andre :D
just bought myself enough 3870 to run triway CF... :)
Good god Andre.. with 5850Mhz on cpu those cards will fly for you!! :D
crysis doesn't work.:mad:Quote:

this should be the reviewers driver thats been floating around for a few weeks now.Quote:

it was a quick preview driver, so theres little to no effort put into this release.
the actual release driver is due by mid march in cat 8.3.
WooHoo
Good to see...makes me all warm and fuzzy inside seeing huge ATI benchmarks :D
Here is 2 versions of the new vista Beta driver with crossfireX support
http://www.octeamdenmark.com/forums/...ead.php?t=1368
i cant get device manager to recognise i have these drivers in any file... really frustrating...
Just force it as an HD3470 card
i know riska... it wont even recognise that i have the driver on my hard drive...
why its doing it i dont know... i keep on moving the file and trying again but the only files it finds are the old drivers...
i'm going mad....
i've spent a few hours trying to figure out why device manager isnt seeing the file but i am afraid that untill i work it out this problem will be beyond me...

(during the process will get few warnings that the driver its not compatible , bla bla bla , just click NEXT )

Yes i understood from later posts that there is problem with crysis but i was (and still am) more amazed about Bigchromes post that i think did not meet the standards of this forum at all.
is 5850Mhz 06 run around the corner Andre?!? :D
you need to ask Vince.:DQuote:

New vista cat 8.3 driver up
Hi Andre!
I have a issue, downloaded the cat 8.3 release, installed(CFX is enabled in ccc), but somehow i have a lower score with 3870x2 + 3870(vista64) then 3870x2 alone(winxp).
and i just cannot pass 20k under vista(did it witho two 3870 in xp), cpu clocks are the same q6600 @ 4100mhz.
its strange, i know vista is not so good like xp for 3dmark, but i have one gpu more....hmmm
What a bunch of crap. Just installed and ran 3DMark06 and get IDENTICAL scores with XCrossfire enable or disabled with my Skulltrail and 2 HD 3870X2.
It doesn't do a thing.
i mean it cannot really be, ok, in sm3 i have 800 points more.
but...wtf....i have one gpu more(3870 clocked to 850/1260), i think cfx with the 3870x2 + 3870 combo doesnt realy work
Has anyone else tried this with a pair of HD 3870X2?
.., tried it and works fine for me.., got 2 different x2´s.., one powercolor, one geCube.., diff. bios.., cards clocked to 890/980.., gave me like 28350p in 06.., 9650@5066mhz..
Hi there, I wonder if anyone can tell me if a triple-gpu setup (3780 + 3870 X2) works in windows xp 32bit. I'm a little confused about the news I read here and there, thank you very much!
V5 6000 was 4 VSA chips on one board, and we've had quad before in 7950GX2 x2.Quote:

hey lads,
Dont suppose this works...just wondering as i have a tagan 900w turbojet sitting and a spare 3850 also that could be fired in with my 3870 x2....
if anyone knows if its been done/reviewed...can you tell me where to view it please...
Cheers
Gordy!:shrug:
I cant rember where but it have been done also with a 3870 and a 3870x2
alle the cards in the 3000 serie ar compatible in crossfire
nice 1.....looks like i know whats goig on tomorrow then...lol....

The reason you are confused is that currently there is no solid answer. Drivers are coming out almost weekly (Beta versions) that are trying to fire up CrossfireX. CrossfireX (If you aren't familiar) is that you are inquiring about. It's 3 or more ATI cards.
The bottom line for the moment is this, ATI does support 3 3870 in that configuration but they are still trying to get their drivers situation under control.
Does that help? I do believe there are other's doing the same thing (Here, on the site). I've even seen 3870s with 3850 in Quadfire and it does seem to work. We just need to ride out the rough driver days.
Thanks a lot. Well I got 2 3870 in CF, so yes I see the concept. I wanted to get rid of one of the 3870's and put in a 3870x2. The moment I realized that you can only run the 3870x2 in dual GPU mode, I told myself to let it be. I play a lot of games that don't like CF at all, so... This is really to bad, as the X2 can be seen as a "fake-crossfire", there really should be a way to run only one GPU, primarily because of the energy consumption, and furthermore because no one really needs two GPU's to write a forum post (I guess)...thanks anyway was just confused because triple SLI only runs in Vista, greezQuote:

Nice results.
Sadly my 3870x2*2 is getting me lower scores than my single 3870x2.
Any tips for getting better performance as I'm starting to be very dissapointed in my 03dmark06 results going down after installing the second card?
Q6600 400x9 3.6ghz
Foxconn x38a
Vista ultimate 64 (SP1)
Single card 17689
Dual card 16542
Can you post details? Im wondering what changed, CPU or SM3.0 / SM2.0 scores?Quote:

Try a higher resolution.Quote:

This is going to sound like a flame but why did you buy 2 of them and not another 3870 to use in a tri fire configuration?:p: I guess money isn't a object, in that case:clap:
The scaling involving quadfire is horrible to say the least:(
Tri fire setups do in fact work under windows xp x86 but a large portion of your RAM allocation is going to be utilized by your gpu ram.(Someone please correct me If I'm wrong)Quote:

Hi here, I come along to ask if there is a problem with CF 3870X² under Win XP sp2, because I have this:
3DM06
CF disable, reading in GPU-Z: http://pix.nofrag.com/d/d/4/1702bdee...1f50d669tt.jpg
CF enable, same reading log: http://pix.nofrag.com/6/5/5/9261f998...7afd10e9tt.jpg
score are quiet the same...
Drivers 8.5 without CCC. I hope not to be obliged to go on with Vista, hoping you guys have an idea to share with me getting this working properly ;)
P.S.: I tried 8.2 also and it was not better at all, sometimes I had lots of reboots and/or BSOD's... :/
Help please
CFX (3 cores or more) is Vista only...
need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ... need ln2 ...
CrossfireX is indeed Vista only, if you want to make use of the other 2 GPUs in your system you will need to move to Vista.
Oki, thanks to both of you.
can ? this ,
