Driver 8.38+CCC 8.36
QX6700/watercooling
VGA Cards with stock cooling, no oc (in fact, cannot oc when CF enabled )
Corsair 8500C5D 1G*2/WR RaptorX/SST OP1000w
as u may see, Crossfire is more efficiency than SLI.
let's pray for ATI, god bless them give us better driver :(
in 3Dmark06, CPU score is much more higher with nv-card than ati-card :(
Thanks for the info victor, is this 8.38 official? any improvement in games?
Victor would you go for the RD600 over the P5K Dlx with that setup ??
nvm ;)
8.38 has not officially released.
p5k platform, will test later, but i dont think 16x+4x is better than 8x+8x.
about efficiency:
19k 06= 3.85G qx67 + asus striker extreme + 88gtx-685/1100 SLI.
19k 06= 3.85G qx67 + dfi rd600 + 2900xt-743/828 Crossfire
16k 06= 3.85G qx67 + asus striker extreme + 88gtx-685/1100 Single
14k 06= 3.85G qx67 + dfi rd600 + 2900xt-850/1050 Single
12k7 05= 3.85G qx67 + dfi rd600 + 2900xt-743/828 Single
Guessing thats the 8.38 RC2 version? Really can't see the 8.38 RC7's doing that well.
My first words when i saw thread title: Holy Sh*t !!!
Nice :up:
Perkam
vic really nice run , the canyon on ure run is good how did u do that ?
we had a large frame drop , about the cpu score .
with 4.6ghz i hitted 68++ easy . the score is really tripping some times .
looking fwd for drivers that will enable overclocking in CF
but why the cpu score is higher with nv card than ati, also driver related ?
nice VW.
how does it compare to 975x (8x/8x) I bet you could hit 20k. have you tried overclocking the cores in ati tray tools?
ver nice Victor.. :clap: hope ati brings home the driver.. :D
Did a quick test on ASUS P5W DH with a QX6700 cooled by a E6600 boxed cooler :) So limited cpu speed. I'm using 8.37 downloaded from ati.com.

200 points higher in SM3 score on 8.37 .... 0_0Quote:

Stock clocks on the cards. OC doesnt work for crossfire and probably never will.
8.38 RC3 same cpu speed

You cant overclock these in CF?? :confused:
Try overclocking in Vista...API should allow for independant clock control, don't think XP does...I cannot get same function we talked about yesterday in XP, Kinc.
15995(8.38, cpu @ 3.0ghz)

hiya kinc what volts were you using on the qx6700 over 3588 on mine it just locks in the first cpu test about 10 frames in can do the other tests at about 100mhz higher than that but any higher in cpu test and it just freezes about 10 frames in
Thats the thing... after nvidia's 158 driver they figured out a way of making the CPU score much higher than it should be, when in reality CPU score should only change with a different CPU...
I hope they get CF ocing working soon.......
I don't belive!!!:confused: :(Quote:

In 3d05 this vga is very good, I assets the possibility to improve the my 30k to the 05.....but if we doesnt oc.....new atitool??
in fact, 8.37.4 & 8.38, about the same performance.
both ccc cannot work properly, automatically shutdown and restart ag. and ag.
the only ccc i can use now is 8.36.1
975x's overall performance is better than RD600 (cpu/ram), but for vga card, i'll choose RD600.
will compare with asus P5K-dlx when i back from work.
now that's just showing off now :DQuote:

What about BOIS flashing both of the cards with higher default frequences?:confused:Quote:
