Benching My HD4870

[Kensek]

No I only OCd through CCC to 790/1050.

And never OC'd the second card.

both cards died when I tried CF the first time.

Hi Kensek, talk about being gunned down in your prime,

I was enjoying your results then it all went wrong . . .bummer!

I'm just wondering, how were the temps of these cards? did you have a peek in CCC at any stage to see if the cards were melting?

Overclocking would surely add extra heat as would stacking the cards in Crossfire. Apart from that I can't really see any reason you got two dead cards unless they were both from a dodgy batch.

Good luck getting it sorted, RMA to the rescue!

Was really looking forward to Benching in CF Mode.

Had fun back in December with the HD3870s and all went smooth then. Therefore, I expected a problem free session with the HD4870s.

WRONG!!!!!

Also my OLD BFG 8800GTS G92 scores 17,0xx in 3DMark06 in my Rampage.

This HD4870, when it worked for 2 hours could only do 17,6xx.
