I'm not sure how that software works to you but it been real buggy to me before I successfully configure everything in my 3rd attempt!!!!

Perhaps the RivaTuner haven't re-coded to work with Ati Catalyst 8.1

Anyway, here's the guide: http://www.guru3d.com/article/article/449/1/

Well you see...Crysis is the most graphically demanding games at the moment and some of the effects it uses are new...and there are many effect...Im sure you will agree with me on that....When you use AA...it actually uses AA on the effects too(not just the 3d sprites like many games do)...on the sun beam...rays in the water...etc...it is full AA...that is why its a huge performance killer...

Many other games actually take short cuts in these and dont really use full AA.

So in conclusion we can say that Crysis is the 1st ever PURE AA designed game while the others so far only partially?

Actually this is my first major upgrade from my 9600xt. Really been losing touch with high-quality games already . That's why I'm trying to asking at what settings usually you all go with 1280 x 1024 which is my LCD native . Alright, been set at 1280 x 1024 High Settings with 0x AA. Thanks god still in very great details .

A few mentioned that Crysis need a balanced rig to perform equally good. They recommended me to OC my Q6600 till 3.0~3.2GHz for this game. Izzit true?

the price for 3870x2 is good, but the cooler aijor...... very disspointed and the power requirement is also killing......

i was thinking of getting a 3870 and 3870x2 together 1..... but i think it's not possible now.... PSU tak cukup power.

butthead, 2 3870 may outperform the x2 if u have x38 chipset, else may be not working as well.... x4 is really limiting the card ability

Thats right...but im not sure how your CPU will perform on default...Why dont you test it on default first and see whether its okay for you...

CPU because -> Physics completely CPU bound, AI routines(big killer) these two combined can slow down action when there is a lot going on...Thats why on weaker CPU Crysis can run quite well but there is lag and some pauses when the bullets starts flying...CPU dependant on these two...

hhmmm.... is it better that this card b coupled with the 770 motherboard? is thr a diff if paired wif older motherboards?

I think motherboard usually wont be an issue to pair the GC,
just the processor speed and the ram of you system will affect it...

COD with zhen^wei about 2 hours ago..

Public holiday in KL and FT.

aiyo yo... then gotta wait longer again..

hmm they are stupid on that review

again

crossfire on a p35 Blitz pcie sig 1.1 with 8x PCie bandwidth??
and with the second pcie slot that doesnt conform even confirm to pcie sig 1.1 and has problems with pcie 2.0

all of that because of the Asus Crosslink tech..

funny LOL....
stupid review to promote X2.

yeah. its stupid... let see if u are clever enough to do a review for us?

spoken like a true rebuttal without realizing the facts of the blitz.

go and check for ure self ..

not gonna be a guinea pig for ppl who dont read much or even test mobos much..

go and check whats the problem on Blitz with the Crosslink technology on the second PCie slot..

and i will do that review when the Asus HD3870X2 ROG comes out..

till then temp moved to 8800gts and 8800gt

x2 out meh? hmm since cheaper quad core penryn is yet to release, i'll just spend on the x2.. anyone wanna buy my 3870?

bro not yet..
i had my chance to get multiple of these cards wait

the GDDR4 version will be out..
and trust me .. that has a lot of difference in SM3 scores.
and it was the biggest advantage that 3870 had over 3850..

more versions are coming out..
one note also the current unlocked bios performance is less compared to the locked bios on the X2..so wait dude..

yeah, since u say others review is stupid... then i think u should do your own review? go get a x48 and review for us... btw i'm just sharing the review, u can read yourself or u can leave it...

why the hell i need you to help me do review if i got a blitz myself? funny...
