ya too bad, first day received the 4870x2 very happy but try thousand times able to screen any POST screen... then bought again Corsair HX1000 PSU still no boot!! damn i also change again the board. but luckily now able to use it by flash the BIOS to older version BIOS 12.

so whoever what to get the 4870x2 make sure check whether the mainboard have compatible issue or not.

i almost go to get the Asus board, lucky i tried to flash back to older BIOS, 10, 11 and 12 all working. BIOS 13 and 14 not working.

and here is the responded from Abit Support

Thanks for the update! any surprise for this driver anyone tested?


4870x2 CFX ... thinking too, but no budget.

ya.. nothing special i think.

ha ha that is what we waiting for, as soon as remove some bugs.

ya! i found that too. for 1920x1600 very high setting still not smooth at all.

ha ha, too bad lor only for AMD processor... z

anyone tried with Crysis warhead?

good to heard that. thanks going to try

really! so can set it 1024? since 4870x2 got 2gb ddr5

m... i tried but after exit Crysis automatic reboot?! ha ha very nice game. anyone have solution for it?

i tried that on warhead the frame rate increased about 10fps if not mistake. thanks

just the problem if you play long time then when u exit the game, the system suddenly reboot.

I see, i tried 1024 only, maybe later give a try on 2048 see any frame rate increase or not.

as i know is 2x 4870x2 call CrossfireX.

but for this setup 4870x2 + 4870 you will get lower performance, because of memory size.

but i think mostly games not support well at CFX mode. this is why not much ppl wanna spend extra money on it.

just hope new driver will improve it. personally i'm interesting to get another 4870x2 to do CFX
