OIC, since you are doing x-fire, you need both blocks to go to H2O cooling - d'oh!

I'm giving the second block a little time to make sure CrossFire works well.
Then I'll put in my second order to dangerDen.
So far CrossFire is working well in Fallout 3 and Mass Effect.....

I'm no longer running CrossFire.
One card went south on me.
So I had 30 day return, returned it for a refund.
I'm running the one card I have now 5870, water cooled.
Here's a screen shot of my settings.....

Re: * ati 5870..... *

Skully are you using the whole ATI Cat suite or just the drivers and control panel? and are you using the latest?

I was running AMD oc tool, now I'm back to running the whole ATI Cat suite, newest drivers. I can get a 900/1300 oc with the ATI overdrive. With this oc I can run 24/7 so its good enough for me.

Re: * ati 5870..... *

Skully can you run Vantage on performance mode at default setting? I was wondering how my score holds up against yours, I know my cpu score will be way lower but I want to see the gpu scores, from what I've seen mine is in the ballpark!

I knew you'd be asking to compare...
So's I've run Vantage in Performance mode.
It/Vantage doesn't get my cpu speed right as its 4200mhz.
Here ya go.......

Thanks your gpu score is 16140 mine is 15408, so its not to far off, I'm using the drivers off the dvd that came with the card and on a RC W7 install, when I get my X25-160 ssd and a fresh retail W7 I bet my score should get closer to yours....I HOPE...LOL

Yeah your score much better now.....
If you make the changes/ X25-160 ssd and a fresh retail W7.
Then I believe we'll be running neck to neck....

Re: * ati 5870..... *

Does it really make much difference going from Win7 RC to final?
