TriFire HD5970+5850
Crysis Warhead 1920x1200 Enthusiast Avalanche 0AA
Still room to OC for higher FPS.

Min=60.53
Avg=100.16
Max=122.83

EDIT:1920x1200 all AA that can be done by ATI card with Crysis.



1680x1050 0AA,8xMSAA

 

Nice can i see maybe 4xaa?

 

AA X4/AF X16 please

 

Even the i7 doesn't have enough bandwidth for the HD 5870 or 5850(Sometimes)

 

ye like to see 8AA and 16AA with those monsters

 

LOL I will,just tossed the 5850 in to test it,using beta drivers .I will see if 5850 can OC and try new 9.12 when ATI releases them.For now I just update post 1 with same clocks.

Also you can not do AF with POM on,cant do SSAA,16AA with ATI and Crysis as far as I can tell.So the highest is 8xMSAA.

 

U need to clock upwards for 4ghz to see anything good come out of 3cards.

i am pined at 60fps with ssaa4x 1920x1080 max settings dx10 in warhead...8xaa 60=frames as well. new 9`12 drivers rock.

 

Dude SSAA still does not work in crysis/wh.Hell AF does not either with POM.
Also 9.12 drivers I do not find very good.

Like I asked ya before show some screens,heck post your crysis benchmark.If ya need help send it to me.

 

Any yet, people play on moniters that cant physically display more then 60FPS...

At least play on a 120Hz CRT if you're paying for that much power...

 

It is not about displaying more than 60, it is about FEEL above 120 or so and not going below 60 as min.

Damn tempted to stick a 5850 or 5870 in there for Tri Fire now

 

^^ Placebo effect. Any FPS over 60 is wasted, period. The only benifit are higher minimums, and thats all. Hence, why I find such expensive setups as being pointless...

Of course, I still have my 120Hz CRT hooked up for competition gaming, so I'm hardly one to talk

 

Theses 9.12s are turning out to be good.

 

Placebo? Lol I guess you never played Q3 engine based games much then?? Longer jumps, smoother movement to name a few improvements at very high fps. Also 120Hz TFT/LCD's are available.

Obviously a monster rig is more about hiving a high minimum FPS and never have it dip under 60, the rest is just e-peen benchmarks. No good having 120 avg when it dips to 30 at a complex scene borking your vsync etc.

 

game altering things because of higher FPS? sounds like a engine glitch or somethin

 

Nice one! I can still remember vividly that the crysis game crippling former top-end graphics card with the mere 25fps avg.

at above 60fps on 2D screen, you won't see the difference in smoothness so visually there is no point. However, this benchmark is simply to showcase the ATI combo flexing its big muscles.

AWESOME!

 

Yes sir you got that right,flexing its big muscles.

 

hye gerardfraser
what your bios template for 4ghz ? i'm :newb: on core i7
great job

 

24/7 OC for 4095 Bios template
Also for 4400 with HT on increase CPU voltage and up CAS Latency Time Set to 9 to 10 (if mem fails just adjust)

I'm sorry, but less input lag and higher sensitivity is hardly something that I would consider a "placebo effect". If you would take the time to load any game running the Source Engine, you could verify this for yourself by using the "max_fps" command.

 

i find high framerates are useful as a guide to when you should use vsync or triple buffering. imo, if you can average above 60fps, switch on vsync. if you can average above 90fps, triple buffering will make the game look smoother without stutter.

btw, @gerardfraser - im assuming multithread = hyperthreading, but have you tried benching with this switched off to see if there are any gains?
