Figured I'd finally post pics of my crossfire

I'm thinking exactly same thing, actually bough crossfire mobo just couple of days ago.

But i'm so disappointed, my asus no more overclocks....
with old 24/7 clocks 675/1150 it freezes in 3dm06 almost immediately....
And i think those temp sensors are ****ed up, cause idle is 90-100c and load 161c. But when i touch that card, it is like 60c...
And everything happened when i took that twinturbo off and putted new ocz thermal paste there... After that my memory and shader temps have been insane. Core is still ok....
Nowadays i'm running stupid default clocks..

A little question, should i buy an other Asus 4830 on CF or cheapest, (sapphire), cause asus is only? one of these cards with 2000mhz stock memory and if i buy sapphire it is 1800mhz, so will sapphire overclock enough to maintain same ~2000mhz memory clock in both cards? And is sapphires stock cooler quiet/powerful enough? (i think i should run sapphire with stock cooling and asus with accelero, cause mem temps are what they are... and asus's stock heatsink is ...****.)

hi all just a random question i dont know if anyone knows the answer.well here it is what clock speed would the 4830 need to be overclocked too,to match the 4850 performance.

ive read online that if overclocked it can match the 4850 is that true?

gerikoh

yes, it will easily do 1000mhz
625/1000mhz same clock as a 4850. but since 4850 has more sp making it 5% faster clocking for clock, setting the clock speed to 650mhz will give you the same performance

ok thanks,so as mine is clocked at 686/1003 it would perform the same if not better than the 4850.

And just another question ive had my 4830 core over 700 with NO artifacts but my 3d mark 06 score drops is this normal and is there a way to stop this from happening.

gerikoh

it's mightl an unstable oc, nevertheless. or maybe something was running in the background at the time. the best way to compare is having to restart after a run, before proceeding on the next run.

ok i will give that a go,so wouldn`t an unstable overclock cause artifacts?

thanks for the help.
