this is why ba, better down the forum and working at the lab... other keep answer also useless.

finally able to make it POST and installed the driver. otherwise going get new mainboard.

my solution is flash back to first release BIOS 10. but i didn't try 11 and 12. for 13 and 14 tried no POST.

I was thinking to get Asus mainboard, lucky i have tried flash to older BIOS.

btw you have same board IX38 QUADGT? ver 12 is working? if yes then i'm going to try later.

good to heard that, i think Asus and Gigabyte have not yet report compatible issue.

ic, that is totally difference mainboard bro.

bro, this i don't know, i think you have to search around on asus forum.

you are right the Intel skulltrail board can do that. but if not mistake last time when I975 chipset also got ppl use hacked driver can run SLI on it.

too bad, Abit still no action now.

i think so, i found many forums already have some ppls reported the Abit IX38 QuadGT + 4870x2 = NO POST. lucky the BIOS 12 work with problem.

Good news for 4870x2 the long waiting ATI Catalyst 8.8 released

use EXPERTool to do that. but can't adjust separately 2D and 3D.

btw, anyone found the 8.8 beta driver, when u GPU-Z then both GPU show up difference speed? and new 8.8 official driver show both same speed. and also the temperature also increased.

for performance i don't know.

always check the temp when you OC this card. and the Catalyst 8.8 still not really good support for this card. only think we can hope is next release of Catalyst 8.9

mine got funny on the GPU activity showed 524%

my temp for both GPU is 55c and 40c, fan manual set to 45%.

i hope that lor, but 3870x2 i never see any aftermarket cooler for it.

better don't try that, later blow the engine then don't cry

that why, if have then will be nice lor. btw if ATI can turn a bit up the fan speed for idea and load then the original cooler also very nice. just a bit noisy nia.

m.. i think Asus have released the 4870x2 but still is normal edition, if got top edition then that is interesting too.

just to tell you even u use 10x 120mm fans blow the card also no use la, because the fan in the original only run 27% so how much cool air it will suck into?

according to some forums, this monster need for 12v rail need 41a for complete system. the Corsair TX750 PSU should more then enough to power this card up.

if planning for future upgrade like CrossfireX 4870x2 then you should need 1000w.

basically answer is "of course" but not for all.

i use profile manual set to 45% fan speed. full load 69c and idea is 50c.

Crysis, GRID and Fuel of War.

btw, for those guys who have 4870x2 inside the computer did you hear the "high pitched noise" as those ppl in AMD forum have faced?
