Yeah lol, the date is about 1 month plus back, so new drivers might have changed alot...or maybe a little.

I'm not too sure about the BIOS, but 7.12 is internal beta with new provisions for the Spider platform and few good improvement across the board, OGL boost reported too. Tested it that day, Overdrive is bugged.

Doing accounts for engineers assignment. I seriously need some fking sleep lah...stupid assignment.

guys need some advice, totally alien to this ATI 3870..........

how do u adjust the fan speed, it being buggin me maintaning at 30% only......doesnt seems to be able to google much information on it, like to know which version of riva tuner or some other software that can set the fan speed..

i'm using rivatuner to adjust the fan speed.. oc to 891/1315, the core remains at 40c idle.. hehe.. dropped from 62c idle @ 25c fan speed

hurmm nice score from the 3870 X-fire, kill totally 88ooGT SLi

i bet if run with single card, sure nvidia better aite?

for single card, i think 88GT will kill 3870

act i wonder what is the pc spec for both 8800gt sli and 3870cf for the benchies.. and whats the setting details..

so far my best score for oced 8800gt single card @ default 3dmark06 setting is 15k+ while oced 3870 @ default 3dmark06 setting is 14k+

3870 CF vs 8800GT SLI: 3dmark06 score @ here

brand saphire my bet??

hmm i cant do that high stable on crossfire on that overvoltaged bios card
another guy in XS also had the same issue

now testing the 860/1200 bios...

i still wish somebody gets the gecube oc2 bios

yeah i know...i did that too...but i still cant figure it out...


No the problem we are facing doesnt deal with the game engine itself...its stuttering intro movies...specifically the EA, Intel, NVIDIA intro and the main menu...the odd thing is the crytek logo goes smoothly..

We had no problem with these movies using NVIDIA before this...im quite sure its a software thing...either something screwed up in the driver...or a codec went missing...I have no problem with any other games intro movies..

no probs with the movies on my side.
infact so far no bugs on games at all .

no game laggy ness on all the games i've played at dx9

sorry.. somehow i doubt the result is true..


yups saphire.. hehe.. erm act i manage to stable at 904 / 1367 but then it will set the oc automatically max at 891/1314 (according to GPUZ).. why eh?

wow, this what i call benchmark?
looks like SLi went down by CF in dual card category

but for single card, nvidia mostly better than ATi

ps: i want 3870

linking the website will do

testing the 875/2500 bios

so far looks good.

How do u guys keep the temp stable? Used the bios for 800/2000 but idle temp is a bit high. tried using rivatuner but can only set it 100% at the fixed speed option, which is a bit loud.

eh.. for me sound doesn't really bother me..
comp is in a different room all together.

testing bios to prep for WC that i am going to buy from metalzone

Have anyone tried to fit a third party cooler to this babe,, ???

I found one review here .... 3870 + Artic Cooling Accelero S1

i tried s1 + 2 panaflo on 3870..even load is lower than 50c..idle 43/44c

hmm idle is at 38C...
Load around 51C

with stock cooler
and a fm123 inbetween both cards.

and AC5 for TIM

wuut..stock cooler so good
