ASUS EAH5870 4-way Crossfire

This is a quick first test to see if there is any real potential for some fun in Vantage. This is all aircooled with just CCC OC. I will add rig pics later, no camera here now :(

5870 is amazing!

Note that even though it is extreme preset a air cooled 965 is a pretty big bottleneck here. We are talking about 30k+ all ln2 :)

Same goes here. You dont want to see 06 at this CPU speed hehe.

Hah. This is Kinc's thread Cwiss.

Here's my request; every preset at 5.2GHz with all the cards on LN2 at 1200 apiece.

I think you'll be fulfilling it, won't you Marcus :D

And 30K X is a necessity. :D

Oh.. that sucks :( I wanted to compare to my GTX295 setup and see if it is worth going to LN2 or waiting for 4 HD 5870. Guess I'll wait for the LN2 tests :yepp:

I don't think even 06 will show any significant gain vs 4x4890. 03 I suppose it should (single card is clearly way stronger), but we can probably count on lots of bugged cards as usual. :-/

I was just wondering Kinc when will this QCFX driver be available to users? And what is the driver version number?:D

At this rate, watercooling is enough to the take the wr in X. :p:

I can't believe no one's gotten fed up with ATI drivers and started writing their own. Someone pickup an x86 instruction set reference and get to work!

Waiting for ln2 for P. 4.5GHz still too low with these cards, wouldnt be fair to them :)

Air will be enough for very high numbers. The lab were hitting 25C ambient, with some swedish winter in a open room with 0C outside we will see close to 1100MHz with more voltage. This is only 1330ish mV.

Damm 1100 core on 4 cards :P Thats some insane power !! AMD and Intel should make faster CPU's to handle this kind of power ! I think a stock i7 3.2 GHz wont be fast enough for two of these cards in CF. We will see CPU limited situatuions. Thats where the overclockers come in to play :)

Impressive to say the least, I imagine these cards will keep scaling until the CPU falls apart :up:

Wow, what an impressive "show-off" of what a stock-cooled setup could do!!!

Well, few questions for you Kinc about the quality of those Asus cards before I decide to buy some myself..

The stock voltage is supposed to be just a little over 1.1v, right? And you ran the cards at 1.33v, correct?

What were the max temps of the GPU's?

Did you have to try more than 4 cards to "cherry-pick" the good overclockers? If you never got any more than 4 cards to begin with, and just overclocked all of them to 1+ GHz speeds using stock coolers, then I surely would be enlightened!

What was the ambient temp?

Was the case closed or open?

How much of an airflow was there over the cards (i.e, was there a huge fan blowing right on top of those cards with like 200CFM of cold air)?

Sorry about wanting to know all of the details, but I'd just like to know if it was just pure luck or if I could expect mine to also run at 1GHz stable with stock cooler @1.33v. Thanks man..

Correct.

What were the max temps of the GPU's?

Max 104C recorded, with 1050MHz core though (bios mod to remove thermal thottle)

Did you have to try more than 4 cards to "cherry-pick" the good overclockers? If you never got any more than 4 cards to begin with, and just overclocked all of them to 1+ GHz speeds using stock coolers, then I surely would be enlightened!

These are the only cards I've tested and they were bought back from disti so no cherry picking.

What was the ambient temp?

25-26C (small lab and 4 of these heat it up good).

Was the case closed or open?

Open

How much of an airflow was there over the cards (i.e, was there a huge fan blowing right on top of those cards with like 200CFM of cold air)?

Stock thermal solution on 100% fan speed.

Here is a picture taken today, only the cpu thermal solution has changed from last week.
