Crossfire running on P5WD2

Got X850XT CF + Slave up and running on Asus P5WD2 board.

519 Bios and latest cat driver all that is needed

this thread is worthless without PICS!!!! :p: :D

Pics?

And your sig says you have an x800pro at 760/620? What cooling? 3dmark?

Don't make him that busy, he probably gonna be excited all day long.:D

initial run 8888 3DMark05 all stock - in the middle of editiing bios to get clocks up and ready for some serious benching...none of the standard OC tools work right now.

The mastercard did 600/650 stock out of the box and should be eventually be good match for my 760/700 slave card...

that was an old sig
the card was able to do 699/677 on air ( good air...) and 760 /685 with 240W pelt and chilled water.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1119634 was the all air benhc, and close to 8k with FX @ 3.7GHZ on the peltier run. Can't find the link right now - have to look for it.

EDI: thanks gautam - you posted while I was looking for links

dang nice! :slobber: do you have a reference board or something? or is the P5WD2 crossfire ready?

glad to see you back and doing your thing :)

Wow :slobber:

sick card! Mine hardly does 700 at -40C :( You could have broken 41k in 3d01 I bet...

Thanks - been going thru some bad times presonal and business wise - but finally having some fun again!

ANyone has any suggestion editing this bios - tried Radeditor etc. but no dice - says incorrect ATI bios...only want to change clocks....the card did stock 600/655 on core and mem - would be a good start beofre vmods

was actually only on 12 pipes PCIE - version - never spent too much time in 01 - not sure. My X850 PE is quite a bit better...especially with 16pipes...

oo xfire :D

i want more scores!

Rabit 1.7 worked for bios :-) - will post scores later tonight

BTW tried Crossfire on a DFI NF4 but was no go - knew it was a long shot - but too bad :rolleyes:

Hahaah I´ve tried it too, and also tried SLI in a Crossfire motherboard. You never know when you get a world class surprise :stick:

12k - not too bad considering still running stock voltages without Vmods
Only been able to get the bios clocks up to 600 core / 649 memory and air cooling, and cpu on dice. CF is very promising!

ATI is 3-5 months too late simple as that.

I agree that they are too late on them - but for anyone who bought one in the last 3-5months the mastercard will only be around $249 ( with the $100 ecoupon from ATI ) so not too too bad.

And impov the PQ on the X850s is a tad bit better than the GTXs.

Well this is good news. I just have one question: does the master card have to be in a specific slot for crossfire to work?

well, My X850 Crossfire card should be here today...

Mainly posting to follow this thread :toast:
