ATi 4870X2(R700) PCB Debut

[Sampsa]

Sampsa i didn't see what board you were using but unless you are using a TRUE 16x/16x board the 2nd PCI-E slot is only going to be 8x,, some even 4x,, and you could and probably are getting more issues because of that, than simply the cards themselves choking...

would you agree ?

I'm using Asus P5E64 WS Evolution which is based on Intel X48 chipset (2 x PCI Express x16 2.0 slots)

When is the NDA over with and you are allowed to post some results? Maybe you could answer a question if you had 2 x 4870x2's. Does CF scale well with them or not?

You'll notice it when you see previews online. I won't post any benchmark numbers, stop asking.

can you confirm that R700 is microstutter-free when running crysis at 25-30fps (33.3-40ms frametime) ?

In my opinion that is too low framerate to actually play the game smoothly anyway.

Normally I would say agree, but Crysis is a strange one...

I think the effectiveness of its motion blur smooths things along, as it seems very playable at any framerate over about 30fps. Normally I wouldn't be able to bring myself to play any shooter which averaged less than 60 and/or dipped below about 40fps regularly.
