Nah bro it's driver problem, I had already tried what you suggested and stayed at stock. I just need to update drivers to 8.11 or 8.12, still on 8.10 with patches and probably a screwy driver installation (haste because of the new card)
You know what it's actually a proFits is a retard problem, forgot to put the hotfix back on vantage after reinstalling, works fine now, didnt run it but will later tonight Also updated drivers to 8.12 hopefully tweaking performance, it'll be my first result since the 4870X2 since I never got it to work previously Should put me higher then my 95th spot XD EDIT: hopefully top 30 here at GURU3D, will work on it all night since I'm taking tomorow off... it's mad scientist time
[hwbot] 11527 - Sapphire Radeon 4870 x2 - Intel C2D E8400 @ 3.6 [/hwbot] http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=607372 Ok, had to reinstall and repatch for it to complete a test, did this one at my stock desktop that I keep for daily use, will need to OVERCLOCK héhé Nways, doubled my score, gives me rank 38 I'll see what I can do on the overclocking side (+400-600 Mhz to CPU and no idea on the GPU)
[hwbot] 12284 - Sapphire Radeon 4870 x2 - Intel C2D E8400 @ 4.0 Ghz [/hwbot] http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=607466 Had to Re-reinstall and re-repatch the game for some reason it was uninstalled after I ran it ... anyways 700 points overclock but can definitely work toward 12800+ 4 point above my buddy Cybermancer XD (32nd, 3rd dual core score, not that it matters much) EDIT: oh well that'll be all for now, couldnt finish a run at 4.2 GHZ and core @ 800 + mem @ 970, and I'm tired, but I'm positive I can reach top 30
Im on 20th with one GTX 280 and 13448, even running a c2d you should be top 20 with the 4870x2, around 13.5k , no ? :3eyes:

Newest run... Will bump core up more once I get better cooling on it.... [hwbot] 21828 - ATI 4870X2 Crossfire - i7 920 @ 3.2 GHz [/hwbot] http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=606338 EDIT - Did i list it right to get on the board?
C2D are no good for these 3dmark benches. really low scores when put next to quads. Though in actual game performance, the outcome is different.
Do my scores look about right? http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=612208 The 4870X2 is at stock speeds. EDIT: Why does Vantage list the core clock 18mhz/Mem Clock 9Mhz?
it gets the reading wrong no big deal really I get the same thing and your score is fine with stock speed for sure ... you beat my dual core with same score so it's about fine
does this sound ok for my rig = p 14612 ?? i will have to buy a copy of this BM as i only used the trail version on my vista 64 bit ultimate action pack copy.
Newest run at 3.5..... My goal is 4.0. but want to strap in better cooler prior to doing so. [hwbot] 22936 - ATI 4870X2 Crossfire - i7 920 @ 3.5 GHz [/hwbot] http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=619798
