frm wht i read (amd forum)..lots of problem are from sapphire product rather than other brands..
so much people complaining their card...some just shift to nvidia bcoz of unsolved prob..what u guys think abt this?..
overheating prob is not a big think bcoz nvidia also facing the same prob
*
first you need to know how many thousand pieces of card they already sold, and what you see only few of them. so don't worry.

QUOTE(tech3910 @ Sep 4 2008, 08:39 PM)
all brand also same.

u'll c more sapphire owner coz sapphire is cheaper & many people will buy it.
*
yap all same mama, nothing difference at all, sorry forget to tell the sticker are difference between each brand.

QUOTE(riku2replica @ Sep 4 2008, 08:47 PM)
Overheating is common for those who are aware what kind of gc are they using now. High performance graphic card always draws more power and produce more heat. It's a undeniable fact.
*
ppl always said 4870x2 high temp.... m... full load only 69c or a bit more (edit the profile let the fan run at 45% speed solved your problem) and also don't forget 4870x2 inside the card have 2x GPU, so it still can maintain that temp level, so what can i say that nice man.

another Sapphire 4870x2  user report in
i have a question
the 4870x2 should be 2G
but i look over the everest and display setting there
system video memory only show 1G
using vista 64 bit
any sapphire 4870x2 user can let me know that it is normal or..?
and everytime i open pc then will hang on the loading screen
need to restart only can load normally
i cann't go to the bios setup page also everytime i press del
try to go to the bios page then will hang too
last Q,will the 4870x2 sound very loud sometime?
my gc will scream when i power up my pc or sometime playing game loading game.
any sapphire 4870x2 user can share about gaming?
cause my gc performance just same like the 4850 i used last time
*
1, use GPU-Z, per GPU is 1GB then total is 1gb x2 = 2GB so that is normal.

2, for the BIOS kindly check whether you BIOS have compatible issue with 4870x2, since you are using Gigabyte please check with they website. my Abit IX38 QuadGT have this issue, so i have to flash back to older version BIOS.

3, for 4870x2 you found that when power on the fan will run full speed then back to normal (normal and healthy) and also you will notice when playing 3D games the fan will suddenly run at higher speed is because built-in auto temp control, if the temp reach that level then the fan will run at that speed to reduce the temp .... so you will hear the fan suddenly noisy and suddenly silent. (normal)

4, check the PSU 12v rail whether stable with multi tester when running 3D games.

DFI already reported they got few model mainboard have BIOS compatible problem with 4870x2 like Abit, but if not mistake they already released the new BIOS and solved the problem.

for Abit i think will never release the BIOS to fix the problem.

if not mistake your PSU got 4x 6-pin then the best choice is go for 4870 crossfire. then you don't have to change the case and PSU too

even u have money to buy those 4x 4870x2 also useless bro, the most important is whether those games support it or not.
