ahh i will be getting back my dfi x48 from one of the forumer i sold,dont know wat happen to the board,he said he cant boot the board..hmmmi just wanna check thru first,maybe he dont really know what his doing...
anyway just realize me and coolice stay at the same place in sunway..hehehe..
a great sifu near my place now that is very good,but then right now lack of fund to pump up even fir 1 piece 4870..dammit...

Hey cstkl1, thanks for the info man. What crossfire mobo u use?

Peeps, what is the best way to capture load temp? I'm currently using Gainward Expertool, quite useful. I just run games, play then awhile, quit the games then look at the temp on Expertool.

Some specs comparison for people considering 4850 and 4870 here:

biostar Tpowe P45

i already told u guys that tweaktown were idiots
the initial p45's bandwidth needs to be tuned to compete with x48's
thats y it was lower...

this result i did is on a unoptimized vista with a lot of junk running at the back and i am just 100 points off the gpu score compared to legitreviews with 9650quad at 4ghz..

dude the 4870 is running quad ratee 900mhz
so its actually 3.6ghz
and the bandwidth if u saw on my gpuz.. u need to times two.. so its 105.2gb/s
