.........And made them uncertain AND confused!
A question, can a HD3850 work in Crossfire with an HD2600 card..and still separate adjustable clocks and so on?
...or an even older card for that matter?
GA-H55N-USB3
i3-550 L008B555 @4.6GHz (1.36v)
Sapphire HD 5850 @1GHz/1.3GHz (1.25v)
GSkill ECO 4GB PC3-12800 @1.33GHz 6-6-6-20 1T (1.34v)
My first post in this thread...but here is what I've got so far...
Q6600 G0 @ 4.0Ghz (445FSB)
2GB G.Skill DDRII @ 890Mhz 4-4-3-5
2 x Sapphire Radeon HD 3780's (stock clocks)
My CPU and both cards are liquid cooled. The cards are idling at 29C and 28C so I should have plenty of room for overclocking. The BIOS are flashed so I can surpase 860Mhz for the core. Catalyst 7.11 installed.
Starting Point - 3DMark06 - 19,796
For those of you that is not using the stocking cooling solution, how are you guys cooling the digital pwms on these things?
Asus Rampage Formula X48
Intel Q9650 @ 4.33GHZ
OCZ Platinum DDR2-800
Palit 4870x2
Creative Xi-Fi Extreme Music
Corsair HX1000
LL 343B Case
Thermochill 120.3
2xMCP355
KL 350AT
KL 4870X2 FC WB
DD Chipset Block

I've left the stock heatsinks on the memory and pwms. So far I haven't had any problems with them getting excessively warm.
WinXP...I've given Vista several tries and the gaming performance just isn't there.
Has anyone tried using a Zalman VF1000 with the 3870? Im worried it might not have enough clearance to keep the stock pwm heatsink in place.
Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start
for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was cancer of the heart
CPU: AMD X3 720BE@ 3,4Ghz
Cooler: Xigmatek S1283(Terrible mounting system for AM2/3)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P(F4) RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz Gold 8-8-8-24
GPU:HD5850 1GB
PSU: Seasonic M12D 750W Case: Coolermaster HAF932(aka Dusty)
Nop, but DuOrb seems to be nice for these cards
BTW: nice avatar!!! Great album

Does anyone got his 3850 512 shipped with the new bios (allowing >862MHz for core)?
If yes, any oc results?
C2D™ E2180 M0 + Ultra 120-X @ 3330 1.52v | XFX 7900GT E.E. + VF700Cu @ 582-1788 | Gigabyte P35-DS3L F5 | Team Elite 2x1GB 800 @ 1066 5-5-6-15 2.0v
Setup:
Crossfire-X:
SLI vs Crossfire:
Crossfire wins.
Cunsuption in SLI system vs crossfire system:
A crossfire HD 3870 system spends same as a 680i + single 8800GT.
^^Interesting indeed.
Finally a review with 2 different mbs. The results make it pretty obvious why all reviews should use this method (if they can).
This also puts into prospective the cost factor of 2 3870 vs 2 GT and the performance associated with them.

Where is my second HD3870??
I really love the power consumption.

nice
does the zalman vf900 fit on the 3850 or 3870?

awesome!
Any that fits the x19xx's works i believe
Me too!Where is my second HD3870??
I really love the power consumption.
When I tested HD2900 CF setup set @777/980 +my X2 6000+@3500Mhz 1.5V power draw from socket was reaching 720W during 3DMark06 run!!
Now with this pair of HD3870 set @877/1311 all the rest identical I can't even push over 450W!!
That is huge improvement under load, but idle is amazing too! It's better (lower) with two cards than what it was with ONE HD2900Pro(XT)

Hehe I´m also monitoring power consumption with my Gigabyte Odin (yes I know, weird system, and inaccurate) but my system with the 2900XT idles at 150W, with an X800 at 100W, and with 3870 100W too! Impressive. And loaded, 2900XT 330W, 3870 only 235W!! More impressive. In a few days I will test 3870 CF.Me too!

If all people would share opinions in an objective manner, the world would be a friendlier place
There are many ways to be extreme dudeAm I in the right place, sounds like I would be lost in XtremePowerSavingSystems.com?
Then why were soooo many peopleAm I in the right place, sounds like I would be lost in XtremePowerSavingSystems.com?ing about the R600 power draw here?
Soooo, basically, in performance wise
8800GT > 3870 > 3850 > 8800Ultra > 8800GTX > 2900XT > 8800GTS
No.
8800Ultra>8800GTX>8800GT>3870>2900XT>8800GTS>3850
in single card set ups. Xfire gives more benefit than SLI atm, however, and shifts that list more towards ATI's benefit in multi GPU set ups.
