i just wonder 2x 3870 CF or 3870x2 is better?

older batch of d x2 used 8x link, so if cf 3870 on both x16 lane boards, theoretically d latter should be faster imo. smile.gif

ic.. that means currently 3870cf @ 2x 8x pci-e lanes has same performance wih 3870x2..

but 3870x2 has advantage if user wanna go more than dual core .. cfx.
*
most of d review doesn't compared clock to clock, so they mite be bias. do note that there are diff in core clock & mem speed for both, some more 3870cf is of dd4, d x2 uses ddr3 only. unless there are users with both 3870 x2 and 2 x 3870 do comparison clock to clock w/ same bandwidth as well (cf @ 8x), else it's kinda hard to judge which is faster. sweat.gif

use atiflash or others as mentioned, things to have as backup:

- backup stock bios (u can use atitool for that)
- always prepare a pci card (or pci-e but i'm not so sure bout this) b4 flashin, just in case d bios incompatible & u get snow screen after d flash. laugh.gif

hope this help bro... wink.gif
