ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 & 3DMark Vantage Extreme preset

Quick OC test with ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (R700 Spartan). I used AMD GPU Clock Tool 0.9.8 to overclock the card and tested in 3DMark Vantage Extreme preset. CPU and R700 are with default cooling, ambient temperature in my office 29 Celsius :p:

System setup:

ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (800/940 MHz)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9770 @ 4 GHz (10 x 400 MHz)
Asus P5E64 WS Evolution X48
4 GB of DDR3 @ 1600 MHz (7-7-7-10 1T)
Silverstone Olympus 1200 W PSU
Fujitsu-Siemens Scenicview P24 (1920x1200) display

AMD_R700_VISTA_8.52_RC2_BR66515_July9 beta drivers
Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate (SP1)

X7584 with single card. Result seems to scale pretty well when raising GPU clock!

:)

Amazing! Can't wait to run two of these with X48 :D

:D Great card :D

sure Quad CrossfireX of thos babies will cause serious damage !

looking really sweet.., 2 of these will truly be exiting.. :-).., love the humongous fan in pic! :-).., looking forward for more sweet results!

Had to return the card :( hopefully I'll get soon 2 pcs for CrossFireX.

looks promosing Sampsa, but cant wait for the old marks, CFX will take all of the first places again :D

I wished you did 3dm06, cant understand vantage :(

Sorry, that's your problem :)

I'm feeling lazy, for my reference and everyone else's, how does a single GTX 280 at similar clocks?

And the million dollar question, can we OC these in CrossFireX yet? :D

I can see WRs coming ... :)
Great cards, we need some more tests please, so far great :up: Weeee neeeeed food ... :p:

My own tests with Core 2 Duo E8500 and default cooling:

GeForce GTX 280 (660/1420/1220 MHz): X5312
ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (800/940 MHz): X7306

Oh, I'm so glad that 4870X2 is a good VGA :)

Really powerfull card.:eek::clap:
But how we can compare a single core card with a dual core card?:confused:

.., we cant.., but we do it anyway.. :-)

Well, for sure my future cards will be two of these:D
Curious to see 2 of these in 3d mark '03!

We can compare what costs the same. :p:

Its just as meaningless either way, so it doesnt matter whether its 06 or Vantage.

You are in a wrong thread and maybe in wrong forum.

No im definitly in the right place, I do like looking at the scores but they dont mean anything in terms of real world performance. Therefore meaningless.

Very nice!!!

Can't wait to put my hands in one of this babys :D

I'm sure they will do some serious damage in 3dmark03 also!

What's meaningless to you is practically what some of us here live for. Watch your comments in the future. :cool:

:lol: I remember when you used to be so nice :rofl:

Looking forward to some aftermarket cooling :slobber:

Good stuff Sampsa :D

Perkam

wow .... I wait quad cross @ x48 .... :D
PLEASE run all FM bench .... 01,03,05 and 06 :D

Thanks for adding in some comparison numbers to GTX280 :)

Can you say if the performance difference is similar for all 3DM benches?

:toast:

...and silly me I thought you would exit without saying something like this - which you always seem to not get :rolleyes::down:

Sampsa - Great job (as always) and thanks for sharing - when can we expect you CFX results ?:shrug::D

Thanks again Sampsa:up:

lovely numbers there mate..looks like i wil be burning a hole in my wallet soon

when does NDA lift for 4870x2 ? anybody know ?

Scales quite well over an HD4870, and relative to 4870CF. Nice work, Sampsa.

Nice first score!

Here is one result to compare if someone is interested. Setup is almost identical but it is single GTX 280.

X7036 (Graphics score is 6768)
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=205819

Too bad that we didnt see any other results. (Old benchmarks, where GTX 280 is bad)

The ATi can even reckon against PhysX (though I guess that's to be expected on the Extreme preset), thanks for the results both of you.

(Scared, Vince?)

Looks good.
Im waiting so much for theese cards to arrive at stores in Denmark og Germany :P

Looks great Sampsa...
I like "stock cooling" and then a room fan just next to it :D
