Crysis MAXED SETTINGS (no AA or AF 1680x1050)

need for speed works flawlessly now (had to disable crossfire for it to work correctly before)

GJ ATI!!

***edited, updated 3dmark and fixed screenshot***

i've got a second asus 3870x2 coming next week CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Woah, I just noticed that that was DX10; Nice! I'm curious about Very High settings on XP?

It says DX10 at the top of the screen. You know, as in DX10 rendering path, not Very High settings.kodex1717

Okay, im downloading the latest drivers now.

Yeah check his 3Dmark page hes using Vista.

Why would you buy a 3870X2 instead of getting two 3870's and Crossfiring them? Isn't it basically the same thing at a lower price point? The 3870X2 seems like a great card, but I just don't see the advantage it has over two regular 3870's.BlueBirdTS

It performs a decent bit due to the higher clocks of the two cores. You can also use it to have 2 GPUs if you only have one PCI-e slot.

whoa... you know what he's right... after reading what he said about "custom settings" i went back and double checked and my shadows for some reason were on high not very high.

I try and get another screenshot from the same position later. right now im going to test some overclocks

thanks, I should have my second 3870x2 early next week. I'll post some new benchies then

im having some rough time using the overdrive with my hd 3870x2 i can oc anything cuz the system will crash why is this

Alejo17

Are you using a 6 and a 8 pin power connector on the card? You cant OC it if youre using two 6 pins.

that problem is solvednow i cant run 3dmark nor games

nice little perfomance boost with the 1.2 crysis patck (compare to original screen)=

SSGWright

nice work there mate.

just a question, what speed are you running your CPU?

coz Crossfire HD3870X2's @ 1680x1050 are gonna bottleneck like crazy ... you might not see the performance increase you are hoping for.
