i dun understand wat ATI is doing.
if dis is the case, there is no need for RV790.

i edi hav idea on how it will perform as last time, i OC my 4870 to 865 stable.
it will definitely not enough to go against gtx280/285.

i won't compared performance @ stock vs stock, i'll compared max OC vs max OC.

look @ RV790, high voltage, pretty much pre-oced by ATI, i doubt there is much room left for further OC.

for far cry 2, i experience kickout from the game. not always, but when it happens, its very annoying.
another problem is automatic goes to windowed mode which i cannot change bck to full screen.

exactly.
it ran fine the 1st time around...........
den problem started to show.

now it gets worst.
after few hours of gaming, auto close............
btw, i'm still on 9.1

its known problem for l4d to jump out like dat.
there is few fixes.
1) patch
2) in option, disable multicore rendering, run in windowed mode (no border)

anyway, my far cry 2 problem.
i try alt+tab......really work............. ............cha dou..........
updated to 9.2, still dun solve my auto close problem.

any1 wanna trade GTX260 216 wit 4870 1gb?

not not happy.............
its just dat the driver update has been disappointing.
there is hardly any optimization.

ATI optimized crysis & warhead, wats the use, i wan performance on new games.

u better clean it if u dun wan ur GPU to fry.............

looks like my far cry 2 issue getting worst.
the crash (close to window) happens more frequently, especially during game startup..........x_x
b4 dis, on 9.1, the crash is not so often, now it crashes & display driver error. sometime even BSOD..................

but i found a solution which is ran the game in dx9 mode.
ok, no more crashing, but i i go in 2 the game........shit, all tress texture b com blocky..........

try to ply around wit the setting, i find out dat i hav 2 disable AA for the trees to go bck to normal..............

ATI driver........

it just crash out, den the bottom right taskbar pop-up a balloon saying driver crash.

i dun bother to click on it.
but i can c on the pop-up bubble its atikmdag.dll

check out dis article.

4870 1gb for maximum AA setting.

dis is not very impressive........

i learned dis long time already.

starting rumors on ATI gpu always way more powerful den actually product.

remember 4870 512 last time, which rumor to beat 9800gx2...........

it is mention earlier.
it is said dat 9.4 will drop the support for 2k series & bellow i think.

its good, may b it is time for some serious optimization............

burnout nvr crash my my system b4 all the way from 8.12 to 9.2.

dis is a shy since my previous heavily OC 4870 @ 870/950 also can do 10xxx score.

as long as my RA3 uprising dun crash, den its alright wit me..........

happy wit 9.3 so far.

damn........9.3 crash 2 days during Uprising 2day...........

but i
m please wit the improvement on 9.3
no more choppy frame rate when watching vacuum emploder explode wit max setting & max AA....
