wow, just got my 3870x2

card is stock overclocked q6600 @ 3.7 and I scored almost 19,000 on 3dmark!!!!

wow. itll be interesting to see how it goes in a real world test like crysis in a big fight. but 19,000 is nothing to joke about...thats impressive to say the least.

my poor old fart only manages 11,000. poor fluffy :S.

Big whoop. Come back when you start showing us some in-game runs with the thing, at a real man's resolution, not that 1024x768 **** that 3dMark runs their benches at. Any modern GPU can perform well @ 10x7. It takes a serious **** of a graphics chip to do the same at 1920x1200.codezer0

Does that help? or do you want me to post 10 other reviews?

Congratz :)

You put him in its place, you did what you had to do.

Congratulations! 19,000 marks is nothing to sneeze at. Very impressive overclock with the Q6600 by the way.

Oh, and it might be time to update your sig. :P

what is stocked overclocked? if I get someone at geeksquad to make my comp, can they make a quad core that is overclocked with this card, and if so do I have to get some watercoolant/coolant device?ket222

Its called factory clocked not stocked overclocked ;)

Its where they make faster versions of the basic models but they are still able to be overclocked themselves. As for making a QC overclocked with this card then yes its very simple and overclocking doesn't require water cooling but it does help, I would recommend custom cooling options for your cpu (water cooling or heat sink/fan setups) if you are going to overclock cause they do run pretty hot otherwise.

If you do overclock a 3870X2 then I seriously would make sure your running a custom water cooling setup on the card itself because they already in load with the fan setup they come with run at 79-80C (while idle its very cool at 50C).

Yeah, its the time now to update your sig. Hope you would enjoy now gaming with that card.
I cant wait till i get my hand on one of these as well

yeah i got 2 asus 3870x2, one's still in the box patiently waiting for the crossfirex drivers. I also ordered 2 EK waterblocks for them. I should be getting them tomorrow.

I also just got my q6600 stable at 3.8, here's a new link

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5247952

can get it to boot at 4.0 but it's not quite stable yet

this card is really impressive, I was expecting alot of issues with it, but I've had literly 0 problems with all of my games. I even run crysis at 1680x1050 with everything on very high except shaders and shadows, those I had to leave on high

Holy hell, that's quite a score. Very nice. ATI just went up a notch in my book. :P

Thought I was high and mighty with the 12.5K posted by my Opty at 3.2+SLI'd GTS-640s...

holy crap do you have crysis and how does it preform?crippo_gamer

you do know that GPU is no better with is dual cpus config compaired to something of the same power but with 1 CPU when playing crysis!! im not sure if its a bug or just badly programed to take us of muilty GPU cores! there were some benchmarks i think! or am i getting mistaken for the new intel montherboard with its dual CPU setup?

[QUOTE="Lilgunney612"]Resolution 1280x1024 when did you become such an ass anyway? in the full version you can choose the res. still very impressive.codezer0

HAHAAAA little emotional are we?? mommy can't afford a good card for you?? damn man relax, why even bother posting that crap?

a card still has to use it's "power" to render all the 3dmark tests, show me one card that scores low on 3dmark but is a beast at "real world games"... face it, if a card can put out good numbers in 3dmark it's going to put out the frames in games.

3dmark uses the same principle as the games do... it takes the 3d model made of polygons puts a texture on it and renders it with shaders or without it. this takes the cards memory and processor, and the less the time it takes to render the best result is. some of the GAMES problem is that they lack support or maybe driver suppor for the game.

You don't have to rain on his parade.

You don't have to get all moody over a statistic if you think so little of it.
