It arrived today
Nearly 2 quad systems worth of PPD in 1 card, hopefully(and cheaper).
I went with XFX because of the double lifetime warranty, plus I got it a little cheaper due to a NewEgg error

First impression, very nice looking card, runs hot, nearly 90°c under load @ 100% fan speed.
I'll bench it for a few hours, and then swap it to my P5K, where it will assume its F@H duties.

Some pics for your entertainment.

BTW the Coach purse was hush money, just happened to pick it up while I was out today

First bench done, the ever important Crysis bench.

Interesting results, 260 is stock, proc @ 3.4, and 177.66 drivers.

First screens are my 4870 and 4870/50 CF scores, stock speeds, same proc speed.

WOW 90C load at 100% fan?!?!

I thought that my 4870 ran hot on the stock cooler. Doesn't matter though, I have mine under water.

37C idle, 44C load baby!!!!



I wouldn't mind having one of these to play with, not the rock crusher that the 8800GTX was at its debut but still a worthy card nonetheless.

score!

well done though, looks like a nice card!

have fun folding with it!

8800GTX best card ever, PERIOD
Wish I would have kept mine.

Yeah the heat is a little on the warm side, might contact XFX and see what's up.

Seems like a decent card so far, but IMO when the card was $450, not worth it.

I'll use this post for all the benchmarks, keep a look out.

All GTX scores will be on the left.



Vantage without the Physics drivers

that's an interesting benchmark:

The 4870 score higher in the SM3 Tests, however the 260 scored higher int he SM2 tests, and overall.

wonder why that is?

COH is up, wow at the GTX260 max fps.
I thought COH had an FPS cap, cause of my max fps with CF
