Mine bends down a bit too its a very long card and is heavy if it makes you feel better then prop it up with something but i havnt had any problems yet. Right now im just waiting on a few things to come in before i benchmark trust me its worth the wait =)

Equlizer,

I don't own one of these as of yesterday but I had the same question. They do tend to droop down and to the right. There are some pics in the thread where this is evident. OpenYourEyes has had the same "droop" as well....while I dont know if it is "Normal"...I do think it is a common occurrence in these cards from what I have seen here.

Regards,



Folks: Helping each other out by at least running some of the benchmarks really does help people out! Vantage comes with the Sapphire card so it shouldn't be too hard to run. I am a newb when it comes to this stuff but even I could post a bit on a benchmark. SOOOOO if you do get the chance to just at least run the one that the card came with it would certainly help many others out.....

Can anyone that has a 1920x1200 monitor test this card with Crysis or Crysis Warhead using the benchmark tool and post screenshots of the results (like I did on the original post)? I would greatly appreciate some results because that resolution is where this card really gets tested and unfortunately I don't have a 1920x1200 monitor to test it with.

Thanks in advance. +Rep is waiting for you

PS: If you need the benchmark tools, use the links at the bottom of the original post to download them.

I don't do 1920x1200, but I will run some benchmarks when I finally get the VF900s in and install it.

Yes it is, this is something I plan on doing in the next couple months, if I like the card. I will be getting mine today, but again will not be able to use it until I get my new PSU next week

well i only have the crysis demo and your tool wont work on it. But i can tell you at that res with 4xaa and 16xaf i get around 85fps. My 3dmark 06 score is 20342 with the card running at 700/1155. Running the memory any higher actually gave me a loss but with no artifacts. I have COD5 and farcry 2 that i can use.

UPS dropped this off today along with some other goodies!

I can not use it yet, as I am still waiting for my PSU

But I took pics on my crappy BB anyways (and the quality is crap), for now, as I felt I had to do something with it, I mean, its call out to me to be used

Beautiful card isn't it. Congrats!

Yes it is, I just got mine in from Newegg two days ago. In my excitement I just slapped it in and tried to run crossfire. For obvious reasons I had many issues LOL. Now everything is straightened out and I am technically running three 4850's. I have not benched them yet, because Vantage keeps crashing given me errors saying I ran out of memory. With 6GB of system RAM, and 2.5GB of VRAM I cannot see how that is possible.
