the problem is.. does this 4870x2 inherits the temp issues from the 3870?

idle at 68-70C at typical malaysian temp??? anyone?

that what i got from my 3870x2...

does the 2 gpu on this 4870x2 shares the same common memory pool or both have independent memory for rendering?

eg. meaning 512MB for each GPU does not mean it has total 1GB effective memory, coz contents is duplicated for both gpu memory sets.

or... 1GB memory shared by 2 GPU?

or.. its just a myth.. can could onli come out in R800?? LOL

the problem is their mainstream parts perform very competitively to nvidia's high-end parts!!!

4870x2 is a nice product.. but until they rectify the fan speed/control/heat issue.. i won be buying it..

my experience with 3870x2 is not that pleasant

the heatpipe compensates for the increased transistor density..

so.. the temp delta i presume will be similar to 3870's heatsink

that 448watts i assume is the power consumption of the entire system ler

what is this micro stuttering that its called?

what was the temp like?

i saw in vr-zone.. and the heatsink on the GPU looks kinda similar to 3870x2 series..

and thats gotta be hot

ok.. since 4870x2 is released into the wild..

where can i download the ruby cinema 2.0 ?

most likely the higher ones are the master GPU which drives your display... while the lower ones are the slave GPU

i got 780GX, and i put 4870x2... and it disabled the 780GX's GPU...

hybrid crossfire ????

then .. its more like ..

partial hybrid...

the 780GX uses a HD3300 GPU... and its different generation alltogether... even if compared to low end HD4000 series
