mascaras,

Heres loaded temps on water.



The difference is hugh. The card is begging to be watercooled.

I just got this card today but the HIS Hightech part. I ran mine totally stock along with my Q9650 stock and scored only 8912 in Vantage...does that sound right to you guys? My idle temps were 80c!!! This card is definitely getting water-cooled. Now I'm wondering if a single triple rad will cool a quad and this videocard sufficiently.

Any input on my Vantage score would be great...I'm using the official driver available on ATI's site. I read about an official ATI BIOS update for this videocard...is this true and if so has anyone used it yet?

How much of an improvement over the original Crysis?

Your picture shows 4870x2 being in 2D mode. So those are the 4870x2 fillrates when clocks are only 507MHz for core and only 500MHz for memory.

Can i run a Hd4870x2 on an ASUS M/B formula extreme with an 8800GTX OC for physics?

Not sure if this thread is dead or not..

Any one with issues : Text flickering, Shaders, flash and light issues, text flashing in game (Crysis command prompt press the § button)
