Anyone here that have been using 3870 ??

I would like to inquire about it's AA performance ..

As most know by now that AA on 2900XT are craps.

Whenever applied, white edges would appears.

So has this problem happened again on 3870 ??

Im using the 3870 for almost a week now..compare it to 2900xt 1gb DDR4 that I have previously, still have the same issue...quite dissappointed. even with the 7.11 driver still same issue. doh.gif

As far as I tried sometime ago, Wic have no white edges issues when using the 2900XT, even wif the AA on. For the time being only in nfsps. Even crysis is fine (only the frame drop when AA on). Will try other older games and see how.

Done..1st time flashing a gc...would have a heart attack if it fails to boot up..yeah, the result is the same wif u.

Edit: @Doom

Maybe u could post a screenshot of the white edges so ctskl1 can see. I have a screen shot of the nfsps, but better if u put it up 1st. Btw, i dun think the white edges is artifact as when running atitool to check for artifact, it came nil for both the 2900xt and 3870.

Just tried it on Crysis on Vista (just reformat so no dual boot at the time being)..no prob..running 2AA was ok wif playable framerate at 1680x1050..at 4AA it starts to take a toll at the frame rate..might have to shift to CF also la then. But even at 8AA, no white edge as in nfsps. might be some driver optimization issue I supposed.

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.

yeah a bunch of us got this problem...Im afraid there is no solution to it...you can install the driver and ATI CC manually...

Really? I never had any problem using the same gc. could it be incompatibilty of the gc wif other pc parts?
