im not sure whether anybody hav posted this thing b4..

for those 3850/3870 user out there,u can try flashing ur bios

there are several pre-overclocked bios from this website 3870 and 3850 bios

@intothefantasy - cant afford to buy a new exp mobo n proc...im gonna stick with X2 for the moment

guys,is 3870 crossfire worth the bucks that i need to spend?

coz when i google around,i found out that 3870 crossfire in crysis only increased around 2 fps...is it bcoz of un-optimize driver?

Im proud to say that i dont have any regret after buying 3870 eventhough i can afford 8800gt when i was buying my 3870

but im really unsatisfied with my proc

btw,anyone can post sum crysis screenies with FPS on 3870 CF@Cat7.12

mine idle@45c, full load@64c....fan speed 60%

my 3870 loves AA 8X...when i was playing CoH im getting better framerate compared to AA 4X/AA 2X

anyone else using 3870,can u guys confirm it for me?

@cschun86 - ur score kinda low for a 3870 paired up with E6600...mine with Athlon X2 4000+@2.8ghz can achieve around 9200+

im having problem with my 3870...it seems that when i play certain games,artifact will showed up and the display driver crashed several times...this problem occur when i was playing crysis,CoH and COD4..it's quite irritating especially when im playing CoH on9 -__-

btw my 3870 runs at default clock speed and fan speed is@60% idle at 45c,full load at 62c when playing CoH...so i guess it's not because of the heat problem is it?

it seems like the cooler will blow hot air into the casing too...

just wanna share my story with u guys,today I was planning on finishing my COD4...but guess what,after around 5minutes playing the game,artifact start to showed up....it's freaking plenty of artifacts!!..i quit the game,n turn the fan to 60% while logging temp when plaing COD4...the temp only reach 66degrees...then i try uninstall my driver and install it back after cleaning the old driver....problem still occur

after hours of trying,i pull out my 3870 from mobo an re-attach it back...same problem still persist,even worse artifact appear when i boot into windows too.. it turned up to be worse,i enter bios n artifact is all over the bios screen too...i tot my card was dead T_T

then i tried to flash my gc bios,maybe this can solve the problem...for F**k sake,my pc stuck when flashing bios OMGWTFBBQPWNZ! !...i tried restarting my pc n it became worse,even on posting screen also artifact appear...

I almost give up on my card,but when i reboot my pc,suddenly all goes back to normal...i entered windows uninstall ati driver n use windows vista driver instead...no more artifacts,but i get poor quality image when playing COD4
after awhile,sumthing came up in my mind..i open device manager tab uninstall all driver relating display,re-boot my pc and install ati cat7.12...thank god no moar artifacts!!now stuck at COD4 extracting after killing some guy called Imran

@heizad - sapphire is quite ok..

from what i read n saw,sapphire is quite ocable...

in the other hand,His has it's own pre-overclocked card,u dont hav to worry bout the warranty...less hassle n more performance

btw,does Asus provide 3years or 2years warranty for their graphic card product?
