so?

1st.. look at the price.. 2900xt 1gb @ 1700 or 2900xt 512mb @ 1300 vs 3870 @ 850..

2nd, i dun think many top ocer are using 3870 currently.. i dunno why, but it's true.. i looked at xs and only few using it... maybe it's not hardcore enuff haha

Stock cooler full load = 82c
TR-03 with 12cm high speed fan full load = 49c


wait ah....i need a spare gfx to standby

TR-03? Is it Thermalright HR-03?

Yup..........Thermalright HR-03

wat brand is that? sapphire?

Thermalright HR-03 and the newer HR-03 Plus is a 3rd party cooling solution...the brand is Thermalright. You can see it first hand at PC-Zone at Lowyat.

sukhoi core clock madness..........

mine 3870 stock fan speed also very scary on full load, 92oC @ full load...... incredible...but after pushing the fan speed to 60% quite ok it turns out to be, full load at around 60oC only

Quote frm Topic Title,

Got CFX benchmarking??

not me la.
check out the posted link.

how's the card's noise at that speed?

i mean the GC....

for CFX, there's no officially supported driver yet..

Hey guys.

Does a single 3870 pawn 8800GTS 320MB? Might be thinking of changing card tho.

noise at 60% fan speed still quite ok, not very intrusive, so if enclose in casing it should be fine.... but what rpm i dunno it show in percentage only..

hoho i notice that only after i post.......... lazy to edit hehe .......

now must wait for non reference card design for a voltage bump to get some madness result......

my fren had a abit ip35 pro board and tried xfire 3850...he got 8k score for 3dmark06....for single card he already got 7-8k liao...wat is happening? bios problem? i aware his 2nd slot is 4x...but still the result wont be that low

mind to tell us his full system specs?

2180 2.0ghz
corshair xms ddr2 800mhz
3850 saphire 256mb
3850 powercolor 256mb
silverstone strider 560w
winxp 32bit
