icic
but if in actual game then will bottleneck happen?
not 3dvantage

bottleneck then ur fps will go down like shit lol

y cant we crossfire 4 hd 4870x2? is it the driver problem or the the card itself that does not support 4 way crossfire?

why cannot
but basically u nid 1000w + psu for x2 crossfire

check windwithme thread

i read somewhere that the dual core gpu can only crossfire up to 2 cards only. other series u can crossfire up to 4.

maybe its only the driver issue that does not support this 4870x2 and 3870x2 in quad crossfire mode. is this true?

4870x2 is define as kind a cross fire or just single card?
when any release note mention about'improve in cf and sli'
does it related with this 4870x2?

a single card. does related to this topic

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

Because there is only one pin available at 4870x2/3870x2 for CrossFireX.

same goes to 9800GX2 cases.

actually DAAMIT already start talking bout developing 8 way crossfire.

Who is DAMMIT, and 8 way CF , u mean 4 x 4870x2 card?

DAAMIT = AMDATi
Yup,AMD already tested it with 790FX.I thought 4870 X2 is capable of doing 4 way crossfire?
Its 4 cards X2
But AMD needs stabilize its driver,because its cannot unleash the Crossfire,maybe we can say the game too..

IC, didn't now about that, i thought 4870x2 can't do 4 way crossfire, cause it have 1 slot CF connector only, where u read about this?

4870x2 it self is dual GPU.
wen u crossfire 2 of these card 2gether.........it is already consider as 4 way crossfire.

U're wrong, 4 way crossfire = 4x Graphic Card = 8 GPU, currently only amd790FX and intel x48 that support 4 slots but no driver support 4 way CF at the moment

i know wat i mean bt dis is wat people call it.

like wen u put 2 9800gx2 in 1 pc, its call quad sli.

same goes here, people will still just call it quad crossfire.

Owh... IC

Issit true it is what people call, or just u only... JK JK

Tried Q9550(E0) and clocked it to 4ghz and benched with 3dmarks06 (Currently on P5Q Deluxe while my Rampage is resting) .

Rampage has 2 PCIE slot and supports Quad Fire.. How can we have 4 4870s crossfire on 2 PCIEs ? Well .. it was meant 2 X2's Crossfired if im not mistaken.

other series like 4850,4870 and the 3xxx can do a 4 way cf. means that if u buy 4 of these cards u can cf all 4 of them.

but this does not apply to the 4870x2 and 3870x2 which means that u can cf up to 2 cards maximum because it has 4 gpu in it already.

is it possible that amd/ati will release a better driver in the future that can cf up to 8 gpu or a driver that can detect
internal and external cf differently.?

i know for 4870x2 crossfire, it called Quad Crossfire, but... 4-way crossfire with 4870x2 is not equal Quad Crossfire, bcoz it have 8 GPU enabled, unless u use 4870 instead for 4-way crossfire

Of course we need 4 PCIEs for 4 way crossfire, from what i read at tomhardware, there is a mobo that can support up to 4 PCIEs, refer to my previous post #575 for link

btw.. nice score... got 3dmark vantage score?
