the score still too low compare to 3870 CF.. maybe some oced cpu + proper cat driver .can get higher score then...

Do you realize that it is 2560x1600 resolution?

ouch.. sorry.. im not look it properly
on 30" ? fuhh...

These days...30" is the common monitor to be used for high end graphics card. Those cards only prove their worth when they are run at high resolution.

Crysis run on Radeon 3870 X2

Ouch.. still got killed by Crysis..

Crysis will still tax HD4xxx series lar...so don't expect much. Unless CF R680 or something.

i hope this come out ASAP
then 3870 price drop i wll grab 1

Is this true? 9800GX2 is just G92 8800GTS put together? It's a little bit disappointing if it's true..

Anyway, I wonder why they like Dual-chip solution so much.. I know it's cheaper this way, but the software doesn't usually support dual-chip cards unless patched. Which means, need to wait for the developers and GFX card maker to supply the drivers to play the game..

I hope it doesn't end up like 7950GX2..

when 3870 X2 release, do you will give up on 3870 and wait for 3870 x2 because another series GC will release in short time ?!

Launch date on 23rd? Hopefully...Guess retail are starting to pile up on stock now.

still getting killed by crysis is a definite ouch...

who needs GPU power for anything else? freaking COJ?

come on AMD..!!

Let's not get over-demanding. Crytek purposely designed Crysis to be a 100-ton King Kong. Even NVIDIA has a hard time trying to run it smoothly even though it's The Way It's Meant To Be Played. NVIDIA were the guys who gave life to Crytek originally, remember? I like the way Crytek is pushing the GPU limits...it means that we are advancing well. I hate to let it be stagnant like the consoles...I have nothing against the consoles though.

over-demanding is one thing, those x2 scores are basically same or even less than a single 3870

You like many others...choose to ignore the fact that it ran on 2560x1600 resolution...not 1280x1024.

you, like many others choose to ignore the fact that i'm referring to the crysis benchmark @ 1280x800 NOT the useless 3dmark06

later on garage sales sure got cheap 3870 hehe im waiting for that

Sigh...did I even mentioned 3dmark06? I guess you are referring to the one I post. Well, as you like. Go Google some more. Find the one whereby R680 can run Crysis at "playable" frame rate at 2560x1600 while HD3870 just stutter along.

Well, the thing about Crysis is it doesn't scale too well with CF or SLI setups. If everything works right, it should get an enhancement of 70-80% over single card.

Hopefully, the developers will come out with a patch that fixes this.

As for 3DMarks, I think 3DMark03 is a better benchmark than '06. It's not bottlenecked by processor that much, unless you're running triple card configuration.

I feel that there's a compelling need to benchmark your CPU as well. In a game, the GPU will handle the graphics (shadows, AA, lighting, etc.) but the CPU handles a hell lot of stuffs as well (AI - everyone in the game and not just those you see on screen - their movement, behaviour, etc., pathfinding - everyone as well, audio - if using onboard solution, physics - w/o Ageia, mapping, etc.) CPU is just as important for 3D.
