It kind of is but your also forgetting that, that poll is only of 85 people so far.

quick someone do a pro-nvidia pie chart..oops wrong thread

[LowRun]

Im not going through all those pages again, are you mad?!?!?!?!?!?

Ill dig up some stuff when im less busy if thats alright

Not afraid, just showing a point of view. You cannot flash inside windows, so its harder to tweak to find max clocks, how many reboots till you finished?

No way, its far better, especially if you're working with a limited dice/LN2 supply and dontwant to spend hours finding max clocks when on nvidia you can find it in mins.

Then go back and edit your post until you back it up with facts

[Philip_J_Fry]

does ATI tool work?? how about that AMD GPU Clock Tool?? for 4870

i am ditching nv sli for intel mobo + CF this time, evga 680i is just awful, in terms of stability, they do have good customer support but i am tired of spending my money to ship it to evga, then get it back ~ 1.5 weeks later

[Shintai]

prove that sli/cf was and still is a niche product.

And thats even by enthutiasts. Its a tiny unnoticeable fraction when you calculate everyone.

it was.
will not be.

If that is true why do P45's bottleneck them in crossfire compared to x48 or has that now been proven to be false?

one card is fine, but crossfire uses more bandwidth and is best on a 16x/16x

Thats what i was hoping (as i have just bought a P45!) but have you got any evidence of this please?

Cheers

as before the Asus Maximus 2 Formula p45 chipset.. has no bottleneck even at 8X crossfired..

I can confirm when i had the P5Q3 i had no bottleneck either in crossfire, as my scores are about the same as my x48

Agreed.

Agreed.

Wrote a small thing about this in my homeforum in swedish.
Found your post skymtl on your forum to be highly logical regarding the issue of p45.

nice finally oc tools start to surface.

the difference is at 2560 x 1600 apparently, so only 30" lcd users need to worry about X48(or x38) for now, it seems.

Not. No matter if you believe the article or not, but according to the article, they need to worry unless they have X48 or x38

Would be nice if some other site tried a 4870CF on p45 vs x38 comparison. Or better yet 4870x2 CFX when they come out to see if there are any bottlenecks

Thanks mate. Soon to be changing PSU for PC power and cooling 750w QUAD Silencer and got another HD4870 sat here waiting to go in when the new PSU arrives, looking at the Crysis benchmarks in that other thread - cant wait

[strange|ife]

Would I be fine running a 4870 on my Corsair VX450 PSU?

yeah it should be alright..

try it and find out. If anything a quality 500-600w dont cost much nowdays.

not sure if your psu has 2x6pin..you need that or a 4-pin molex to 6pin will work
