TRI Fire 5870/eyefinity PROJECT/benches!!! post yours.

I'm bringing up this thread for bodar.

Hey could u get a few of those new nvidia 480s and bench them and compare them with the 5870s/5970s. :banana:

 

Yeah man! Would be happy to do that.. Planning on it pretty soon here.

gtx 480's vs radeon 5870's.. especially when it comes to the extreme benchmarks.. I'll do them all.. I really want TRI SLI Gtx 480's

condensation seems to always be a problem.. I use dialectric grease and towels to keep all that away.. even during 24/7 phase cooling

 

cool looks like u'll be doing phase and water cooling for those 480s cos they run pretty hot even on normal operation at stock speeds.

 

I don't believe the reviewed Fermis will be the actual product... These chips were cherry picked and that's the reason for such high power consumption.

The final product will have a little cut down.

 

God! glad to hear that, i hope u will test them with i7 980 @ 4.5ghz at least

 

Hi guys need opinion about going decision regarding trifire or not.
I can get a 5970 and give my 5870 with 240 euros.
Or I can get another 5870 with 340 euros.
Or stay as I am atm and buy another later at summer maybe when prices drop.
Any suggestions?

 

hey bodar, perhaps u could try a few new benches.

Unigine has the new heaven 2.0 which has extreme tessellation feature and just cause 2 has 3 new bench marks in it.

 

I just hopped onto triple HD 5870 Crossfire myself. Only running a baby OC at this time of 900|1250. Below is my first swipe at Vantage using the Extreme preset.

Heaven v2 on my rig looks like below.

Normal tessellation 1920x1200 default filtering


Normal tessellation 4xAA @ 1920x1200


Extreme tessellation with 4xAA|16xAF @ 1920x1200


Just Cause 2 Demo @ 1920x1200 4xAA|16xAF with all on/enabled, set to high or very high as applicable.

Hi guys im getting a 5970 next week what are the best drivers to use the 10.3b or opengl 4?

 

Get another 5870 arxige mou!

 

I am going for that route arxonta!Thnx

 

yeah, I would say another 5870 would be awesome! Thanks death
_samurai for sending me the new heaven bench man! I'm ready to rock now!
Hav'nt tried just cause 2 yet but I'll definitely check it out..

 

jeesus christ u already have 3 gpus in your setup. :nerd:


isn't a 9800gt a bit of an over kill for a physx card unless it doesn't use an 8pin like a 9800gx2.

 

I am using 2 gpus (2x 5870) plus the 9800gt for physx only.I dont believe its overkill while it is a single slot card and uses only one 6 pin.
Bodar thanks for your suggestion , I will go for another 5870.

 

Well I dont think that 9800gt will fit with 3x5870s...

 

Yo Guys! Just ordered a 2gb 5870 with 6 monitor inputs. The 5870 eyefinity 6! I'll post some stuff on it here once I get the card.

 

Bodar is the man!

Bodar, When you get the 3x480s will you test them on eyefinity? I would like to know if multi-gpus run better than ATIs in eyefinity...

 

is that the sapphire toxic edition?

 

Isn't Eyefinity ATI only? I don't think it will work on Nvidia cards.

 

I think he means the Nvidia surround which is the same thing form nvidia but has to be sli to get 3 monitors.
