lesson : let the benchmarks do the talking.

new name for 8800GS. 8600GT is like soooooooo far from the 9600GSO.

4850 confirm better kau kau la.

from what i read so far, look like 3870 has the edge but not far ahead when it comes to performance.

the HD4670 is better in power usage.

at least they still do scale. some games little to no boost in framerates with CF.

when i play Crysis with 3870x2, it was fast. a lot faster than 9800GTX, so I'm assuming it does CF well enough.

unlike some games, the 3870x2 felt like the 9600GT, such as Frontlines : FOW.

let's not forget this would be like a 2600XT crossfire - no need power cable! but got power performance.

every card buyer will face depreciation with the cards they bought.

it was. that's why my post ended with "but got power performance" - because HD4670 CF seems like got power. HD2600XT CF like ok la some games got some boost la, my 3dmark06 boosted only. other things end up only.......... well actually only tried on Lost Planet la but no boost.

that's the thing. 2600XT CF doesn't even feel as good as OCing 8600GT or getting 8600GTS. top up a bit more that time can get 8800GTS (G80) 384mb.

well, actually all stock cooling are sufficient for GCs.

if ever stock cooling is not suffiicient, it's because the owner has lousy casing air-flow. not the card's problem.

yes. i faces same thing. normally CCC has GPU activity and Temp indicator, regardless of whether you unlock the thing.

i didn't bother to unlock overdrive, simply because CCC has always come with the indicators and unlocking Overdrive just allows you to do adjustments, not making the dials appear.

I see no temperature reading also i find cacat already.

CCC no temp reading. HWmonitor also no temp reading. In the end, luckily GPU-Z got temp reading.

i was using 8.9 and i plug in HD4670 - it didn't recognize. so i thought maybe driver problem, install 8.9 again - didn't work!

WTH!?!? so no choice download 8.10 and it works fine. so............ how to compare?

decided not to sell my 4670. end up thinking of getting an additional 4670. just for fun, and CF it! damn, never liked the idea of CFing low-end cards but HD4670 is just too tempting!

haven't got the goods, how to benchies la? maybe i should CF HD4830 instead.

ahhh 3dfx Voodoo, my 1st 3D accelerator. Had to work during college, save up RM 600 just to buy that card. it's a PCI card that works with an AGP graphic card for 3D capability.

then there's Voodoo2 where you can SLI! but those were the days, about a decade ago.

arguably 30fps is good enough BUT to have an average at 30fps means it could potentially have drop to below 25fps.

having 60 fps on the other hand, even if it drop 30 frames it is still nicely playable.

IMO best is still 60 fps while 25 fps is the minimum average but 25 on average would also mean you're gonna lag sooner or later. (yes, like what i mentioned in 1st sentence).

i use 8.10. never had problem also.
