My 4870 CF Thread (Benchmarks and Games Tested)

Yeah it's definetely a nice card - but it'll either get sold or returned when the Spartan is released. Returned if it's out in about the next 25 days!

I'm going to stick with these for a while, and i imght think about a 45nm quad so i can get a bit more out of it at some point but thats the last thing im doing for a long time.

No need for you to change, that setup will last you as long as it runs!

I envy your Power supply

wait a second!? are these Crossfire results?


My crossfire HD4850 setup done 474.12fps in CSS Stress Test @ 1680x1050.


Here is my 3dmark06 run: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=7345777


But yeah that Low clock speed will bottleneck crossfire in those benchmarks.

His results are stock clocked 4870's and a processor at 3.2 vs your 4.7, impressive clock by the way!

actually on 4.5 I used the 9x multi intsead of 9.5. Though this chip I have will do 4.7ghz benching on water!

i heard the fps in CS:S is really cpu dependent is this true? considering I get 176fps on the cs:s video test @ 1920x1200 on maxed settings.

I think if i can get to 3.6 just for a benching run it will allow me to break 20k very easily probably more. I think it just needs a little more. I may just get it stable enough to bench and go for it lol

I still wonder, is it worth it to use crossfire or is it better to have 1 extremly good card? (I know that the ideal would be crossfire 2 or 3 extremely good cards...)

Way to bump a really old topic.
