QUOTE(ahsiah @ Feb 1 2008, 12:13 PM) New 3870 user reported in. I bought a single slot version of 3870 (Sapphire). I got it today too....Haven't got time to check the cooler performance. I kind of prefer reference board version and cooler. I heard it is better.   I just love the smell of new hot gadget.... |

Tried Crysis All Very High DX10 in Vista 32bit...Max res 1680x1050
OC my GC to 850 core clock and 1250 mem....100% fan... Under full load the temp stays at 52c??? Amazing....im using rivatuner hardware monitoring... I can get a very very smooth fps if turn off post-processing and game effects....i leave volumetric at very high. At one point game crashed without a reason....while core temp stays at 52....time to get a patch i think... vearn27........let us know of any replies |

im using 8.1 too...CCC setting all default....
Tried some adjustment to quality, AF n AA....not much diff in quality in Crysis but reduce the fps alot. Gonna set them all to use application settings later. I hate the jagged edge on the vegetaion in Crysis...its annoying. Added on February 5, 2008, 12:06 pmmy sapphire has a 850Mhz cap too....it'll drop the clock down to 33 if i go above that. Sniper69 has got his running at 1Ghz....I bet he flashed it. I'll asked him and post it here soon... This post has been edited by maranello55: Feb 5 2008, 12:06 PM |

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Feb 7 2008, 05:35 PM) Why don't you try Crysis edited system config file? It's much better than tweaking the setting of the graphic card True...went to the tweakguide page.....tonnes of cvars there....very nie to play with and adjust in-game....I can set up my own system.cfg with all my settings and it'll load up when the game starts. And ure rite, i leave the CCC settings untouched. .Same here with mine .I doesn't experience such sound wor... however, I use closed case la  .Try play "Assault" chapter and then bomb the AAA in front of your screen "character view" and see any blackout happens. I played Crysis 3~4 hours continuous without any significant problem and temperature being at load around 68~72C. The only problem I'm experiencing with Crysis is the blackout whenever I bombing great explosion on the AAA  . |
