4870 crossfire #warning many pics#

[purecain]

i used rbe v1.11 to mod the bios and win flash(latest version).... i used gpu-z to save my bios file so that i could mod it in RBE....
with the clocks up and the fans working... i installed the patch for grid and 30fps extra just like that...
heres some pics....

very cool

[non]

So its confirmed that RBE & winflash work for 48xx right? thanx a lot for the info. Have u tried crysis very high? i just wonder whether any flickering happens or not.....

[Jowy Atreides]

with the fanspeed fixed, is it very noisy on load?

[purecain]

no it wasnt real noisy, but i have a real problem as my cards wont work... they booted multiple times yesturday, but when i switched the machine on today it was bye bye....
any ideas....???? this was eventually fixed due to the support of the good members of XS.... also thanks to wizz and bagzzlash...

I see you have crossfire HD4870, can u have a look at my thread here please

edit: damn, just read your last post

[purecain]

we need a bios to fix these fan issues....

RBE1.11 uses locked clocks and so initially provides inaccurate clock info(4870 only)...
bagzzlash-the creator of RBE has said that 1.12 will have this lock terminated, unfortunatly modding the bios before this new release is very difficult to get right...
for me without a way of accuratly measuring the amount of vcore you can administer with the app its also risky...

there are a few new hd4870's which will come pre-overclocked...
now if we could get our hands on one of those bios's we would all be happy...
meantime all we can do is hope ati/amd releases a new bios fixing the issue...
or bagzzlash releases 1.12....

purecain wtf is there A and LS and stuff on the replay menu?

I have that game and I don't have that and I'm updated as well.

Is yours torrented or something? Looks like ps3 version or something.

nice 3dmark06! too bad it seems i wont be upgrading from my 2900pros for a while.

ccc seems to be your limitation atm. id like to see 3dmark06 @ 4ghz my guess is around 21k-22k.

hmm... well the only thing i can think of it being is the 360controller for windows and the game auto mapping the buttons...

[cadaveca]

Yep, controller. How's teh air space between the cards?

[purecain]

good on p5e... heres a pic....

ATI newb question.

Do you need to use both crossfire connectors ?

[purecain]

no i'm just using both as a mental thing..... lol they only use one connector even with two connectors...

a good example is the 4870x2 and 3870x2... youll notice they only use one connector....

i'm just about to apply some mx-2... we'll soon see if the tim they used is any good.... hardly any improvement with mx-2 and stock cooler....

after market cooling here i come....

[purecain]

mx-2 has brought down temps by 2-3% max... stock paste is really quite good imo...

Also... when you get your card DO NOT OVERCLOCK YOUR GDDR5 EXCESSIVELY... this ram degrades...

i thought i had a problem with my core's.... and after several days i realised that anything over 1040mhz made the cards unstable under furmark....
my cards are both from HIS...

[Counter CS]

Can you mount one of those Duorb on one HD4870 and report temps idle+Load please ?

Thanks

[jedimindtriks]

yeah would be nice to see some temps with the duorbs. i have 2 of em here waiting for some 4870 JUICE

and btw, does the stock 4870 cooler, cool the ram allso? or is it like the 3870 cooler ,where it doesnt even touch the ram
