i'm using the same board.. could it be the cpu not enough power..
stock cpu speed or what?
how much bro the 3dm06 marks?

ganaz-x, i think it might be limited by ur CPU 5600+ at stock dun have enough omph i guess.......

SB600 is just lack of juice for OC, else it quite similar to sb700 rite?

coolice, u goin water cooling for ur 4850? nice, want to see how high can u go, i might do that too if this is good

I see a lot of people adjusting the fan speed for 4850. Is it needed for the newer 4870?

Gecube 4870...

Probably u are right but that doesn't explain why some scores are lower than running single card in Crysis. Any other benchmarking tools that I can test the CF scaling?

last week I already tested with this extreme platform at my office.

Processor: Intel C2D E8400
Mainboard: Gigabyte X48-DQ6
GPU: Gigabyte ATI HD4850 512MB DDR3 * 2 (Crossfire)
RAM: Corsair 2GB *2 DDR2 800 XMS
HDD: Western Digital WD5000AAKS

# All runing on default clock. tomorrow upload pic to share.

would be better. IMO..
cause stock 4870 fan running at 20%
temp go from 80c - 88c.... much hotter..

I don't know why, maybe AMD's Graphic engineer idiot setting the fan speed 20 ~ 30% only at BIOS...

i think becos those westerners doesnt like fan to be loud, and this is somehow real

dammit regret selling my dfi x48 for asus p45 mobo....shit....

nodude users are idiots...

go use th rbe and check
u find that its done in a way that will save energy etc

50c idle and 70c idle.. will not kill ure gpu..

so what amd did was to cool down the gpu rapidly whenever it passes a certain threshold..
the 4870's are 106C so should be the same for 4850..

its idea is to balance noise/heat dissipation/ power consumption
this is inline when powerplay is affective.
the current drivers dont support powerplay but u will see the difference
thats y for the hd4870 even the pwm has a profile for fan speed.
so when u use overdrive with powerplay ..
u will see the benefits..

as the total calculation is based on 95% gpu score and 5% on cpu
or try 3dmark06 1920x1200 8AA 16AF..

Is my Tagan easycon 430w enough for 4870..? Like not enough onli...

Current setup :
E2160
2 x 1gb 1066mhz ballistix tracer
1 hdd
5 fans...

Hurm..

better change to 560 real power for single card... or 700W above for crossfire...

Guess so.. But not enough budget unless i sell of my psu...

Headache la..

How about HD4850 with my PSU? 29AMPS!

something wrong with my proc.. can't post score here..

Just wonder if I want to achieve 4870 CF. 650W of PSU enough juice for that or not?

apasal?
