ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 & 3DMark Vantage Extreme preset

[Sampsa]

Quick OC test with ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (R700 Spartan). I used AMD GPU Clock Tool 0.9.8 to overclock the card and tested in 3DMark Vantage Extreme preset. CPU and R700 are with default cooling, ambient temperature in my office 29 Celsius

System setup:

ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (800/940 MHz)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9770 @ 4 GHz (10 x 400 MHz)
Asus P5E64 WS Evolution X48
4 GB of DDR3 @ 1600 MHz (7-7-7-10 1T)
Silverstone Olympus 1200 W PSU
Fujitsu-Siemens Scenicview P24 (1920x1200) display

AMD_R700_VISTA_8.52_RC2_BR66515_July9 beta drivers
Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate (SP1)





X7584 with single card. Result seems to scale pretty well when raising GPU clock!

[Kinc]

Amazing! Can't wait to run two of these with X48

[Pt1t]

Great card

sure Quad CrossfireX of thos babies will cause serious damage !

[fubarswe]

looking really sweet.., 2 of these will truly be exiting.. :-).., love the humongous fan in pic! :-).., looking forward for more sweet results!

[Sampsa]

Had to return the card hopefully I'll get soon 2 pcs for CrossFireX.

[Achill3uS]

looks promosing Sampsa, but cant wait for the old marks, CFX will take all of the first places again

Sorry, that's your problem

I'm feeling lazy, for my reference and everyone else's, how does a single GTX 280 at similar clocks?

And the million dollar question, can we OC these in CrossFireX yet?

[George_o/c]

I can see WRs coming ...
Great cards, we need some more tests please, so far great Weeee neeeeed food ...

My own tests with Core 2 Duo E8500 and default cooling:

GeForce GTX 280 (660/1420/1220 MHz): X5312
ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 (800/940 MHz): X7306

Oh, I'm so glad that 4870X2 is a good VGA

Really powerfull card.
But how we can compare a single core card with a dual core card?

[fubarswe]

.., we cant.., but we do it anyway.. :-)

[nachthymnen]

Well, for sure my future cards will be two of these
Curious to see 2 of these in 3d mark '03!

We can compare what costs the same.

[nachthymnen]

We can compare what costs the same.

Well, that's true Gautam

Sorry for the OT.

I wished you did 3dm06, cant understand vantage

Its just as meaningless either way, so it doesnt matter whether its 06 or Vantage.

You are in a wrong thread and maybe in wrong forum.

[Scubar]

No im definitly in the right place, I do like looking at the scores but they dont mean anything in terms of real world performance. Therefore meaningless.

[NBF]

Very nice!!!

Can't wait to put my hands in one of this babys

I'm sure they will do some serious damage in 3dmark03 also!

What's meaningless to you is practically what some of us here live for. Watch your comments in the future.

[perkam]

Sorry, that's your problem

I remember when you used to be so nice

Looking forward to some aftermarket cooling

Good stuff Sampsa
