R680? first run~

[Timbosan]

Nice score, if that is an 680, which i gather it is, thats awesome. can you run it at again but at stock resolution? what about with the cpu overclocked as well?

[xMrBunglex]

i believe it has 2*3870 performance...
the only thing that will differ is clock per clock scaling-performance..

they might be faster. they could have lower latency without using the CF bridges. maybe the memory is even shared between the GPU's, although i doubt it.

[most_wanted]

OMG!!! I want it

[purecain]

yep this looks good.... i just need a couple to play with now... CANT WAIT!!!!!!

[Ethelred]

It's interesting that ATI's card is a true dual core chip...and nvidia a card the size of a boat with two pcbs.

[Sentential]

All he's done is compile readily available pics from the web and call them his own. Nothing to see here

[purecain]

sentinal... that doesnt change the score.... does it.....
what do you think we are all commenting over.... his name lolololol
and if the guy did just compile the pics for us then thanks to him, as i would of had to search chiphell myself to get this info....

[Soulburner]

Will this be a 1Gb card? If so, it will probably end up in my rig.

Can they even fit that much memory on a PCB that busy?

[AliG]

it'll be 1gb gddr4, and that's the reason why the pcb is so long (2 gpus with 1gb of memory not to mention the necessary hardware xfire bridge)

EDIT: i'm an idiot and forgot the resolution it was run at. great score.

[Unbornchild]

Me too.
Single Sapphire HD 3870 (stock bios) clocked to the maximum that will run a stable 3dmark06.
gpu 860 / mem 1306
Catalyst 7.12
Maximus Formula
E6750 @ 3.6 Ghz



For constant gaming stability though, i have the card clocked at 855 / 1246:



So, wassup with that R680 score???

[Ivanqu]

You Look Resolution ~2560*1600

[Unbornchild]

Ooops of course! Well that's certainly impressive!

[Origin_Unknown]

when is the release date? i want two of these

[Unoid]

why can't the owner run it at 1280x1024 for better comparison?

You also have to notice they've changed the Bios as the date is 1/14/08.
The one in the OP is dated 12/25/07

[AliG]

That's an odd combination, using the newest/best ati card with newest (but still not all that great) nvidia mobo♦

[Soulburner]

That's just sick. Coming scary close to my overclocked E6850/8800GT, 13k at 1280x1024...

Yeah really.... I get a smidge over 13k on my e4300/3870 setup. Definitely seems like the R680 scales better than a crossfire 3870 setup. 3DMark scores are great, but Im hoping that you still get a benefit running the R680 on a game that has no crossfire profile written for it (common with games just released). I havn't read up too much on R680 info though

[purecain]

ivanqu first of all thanks for the info, there's just one thing that keeps niggling at me. Nvidia owners are misquoting the performance of this card by ignoring the rez you have used..... so please run the card at 1280x1024.
this is also information that would help us all with r670 crossfire and the free version of 3dmark06(as we can only run 1280x1024).


thanks again man for the info........

[rioja]

can someone run 3dmark with 3870 cf at same resolution?

hm, interesting how to watercool this monster

and i think author just cant post any other benches becoz of nda
