As much as expected? This card surpasses most of all my expectations. I have gotten about 1/2 way through Crysis on VeryHigh (Beat it before on an 8800GTX SLI Setup on High) and its holding an average of 24FPS but it is fully playable. The 8800 Setup could play the game at a higher FPS here and there but they suffered from an issue that all Nvidia cards I have noticed have, they cant remain constant with the FPS. If I say my card holds an average of 24 it never usually dips below 15fps and can go as high as 60fps most of the time. On the 8800 setup it would go as high as maybe 70 and as low as 5fps. usually lower not higher. Plus that setup was an E6600 @ 3.6 and being a duel core, it was less powerfull then my current quad core.

Definitly overclocking from 2.8 --> 3.6 added a nice bit of Framerate to games like crysis.

Other than that maxxed out COH with 8XAA and 16AF = 60+Fps min lol. This card is frickin wicked. Someday I do plan to crossfire it but untill then, i am super happy now and cant wait till some better drivers roll around.

with the 120mb beta drivers you mean? atm i'm using the 8.8 it's kinda stable but the performance really sucks i'm getting 18k in 3dmark06 while with my old crossfire 4870 setup i was getting 21k+ and the 3d applications crashes only occurs when i overclock the cards in the ccc panel

Don't use 8.54 they are bugged to hell, I have tried. AA is disabled and a bunch of other crap. Use 8.526 which is included on the driver disc of the 4870X2 -- it is still newer than official 8.8 which is 8.522. And supposedly its faster as well. It also has none of the problems of 8.54.

EDIT:
Codon -- you got dual 4870X2s? So do I, and I score 21600 in 3dmark06, and my q9450 is at ~3.67ghz. I use the 8.526 drivers. I just leave the cards at stock, at least until we have a reliable overclocking utility that fully supports the 4870X2, let alone two of them.

edit2:
Your PC is extremely similar to mine.

i'll give those a try but still could you please upload the drivers to rapidshare? that would be really appreciated mate meanwhile i'll install the drivers that came with the gpu (which i never bothered to check ) and about the AA bug i think that there is a solution for it in one of the pages in the link i put

@EDIT 2 yeah it is :P btw could you give me your bios settings for the oc i'm running it at 3.5 atm and it's very stable ran prime for 24hours no errors what so ever
