2008 XS Cheapazchips 3D challenge

[ZOMGVTEK]

i would rather not do the 8400s. since the last competition was the 8400s..

Jeez, i was just suggesting that i want to get one just for fun...

<_<
>_>

Pick a card, any card... Make it CHEAP. <<$40

k?

[ZOMGVTEK]

Hmmm, i think i actually have a 3450 somewhere...

Sounds good to me.

[s0lid]

Lets start next month new competition with HD3450s?

Please look first from your local OCing and IT forums for used one before whining about prices?

[macci]

I suggest HD3450, HD3470 or HD2400

And Hybrid CF is allowed then of course

[Oliver]

The 3450 or 3470s could be fun... i have checked prices, the 3470 closing on 3650s price... might be cool to go with 3450s...

I vote for HD3470, I want GDDR3. Fighting GDDR2 is 0 fun

EEK hybrid Xfire hehe
tell use more





and on that note let's give some cheap ATI cards a crack for the hell of it.....just to mix it up a bit hey hehehe

btw my 8400GS decided to be alive again that freaking card is indestructible
it get very hot though lol but i've been using it as a benching card for superpi rigs heheh

[dinos22]

The cheaper the card, the more participants + more extreme mods (you risk less cash).

^^^^^^ this is true

[dinos22]

hahaha Andy

looks like you might have had one too many





i was air cooling mine as well :p ........... in 20C ambients too

[T_M]

Yeah my 8400GS is a benching/surfing card now too

[macci]

EEK hybrid Xfire hehe
tell use more

ORB link for HD3450 results in 3DMark06

nice man
so this is HD3450 and onboard video from that motherboard right

[macci]

Yup, and passive cooling on both and HD3450 at default speeds.

[dinos22]

i see

that's pretty respectable for a cheap ass card heh

macci while we are on this topic can you tell us if we are to say buy 3 of these cheap cards in same or different models would we be able to make them run in tri-xfire through this hybrid setup

it would be nice to have an easier interface to overclock multiple cards too (unless something has changed since about 4 months ago) when we benched some 2900XT cards in Xfire....heh.......

[s0lid]

Yea HD3470 sounds nice but i can't find it anywhere
Ok found one from germany...
HD3470 256Mb 45€
HD3450 512Mb 32€

Yea i'd rather take that HD3450 because i can find them from Finland...

E: W00t found 3470 one model
Price is 51€
but still 3450s price is still 31€ :/

[dinos22]

lol 3470 ones are like $100 here LOL

[s0lid]

Sry for douple posts.

Damn this HD3470 looks good:



No high components there: Easy to mount pot :p
And i just think than my gpu pots fits on those perfectly .

E: What the S***! is it possible to run those in quadCF ?

[G.Foyle]

Hmm... must get Foxconn's 4x PCI-E 16x board...

Even if there was high components, just put them on the backside

I guess I'm up for either the HD3450 or HD3470, was just hoping for some GDDR3.

[SpikeP]

Like the sound of another contest!

Card choice sounds good too. just gona start searchign for HD3470's though. Can't recall seeing any in the UK. Get back to ya on it.

So long as i can get the card, i am back in. Maybe we will see a little more x850 delivering power again!

Hmm, the HD3470 seems nice but i can't get it easily around here.

[Oliver]

I would like the same as Dino asked for...

Dino what is the price of 3450s in au?...

Lets get prices compared and find the card to go with...

[ownage]

Comparison between HD3450 and HD3470. If you ask me the HD3470 will be good enough.
