HI im gettin this card and i jus wanna know how good it is...any comments??and is 21000Rs a good price for it??And according to some reviews and vids its better than the 8800 ultra with the new catalyst 8.3 drivers is it true??
HD3870X2 is awesome . the pricing is awesome .. the performance is getting better with every new Catalyst release .. its definitely better than the 8800U ..
@amitash buddy cud u plz tell me how u managed to oc that Q6600 to 2.96 with an Itel Original DG33TL mbo???afaik u wont be able to oc that high with clkgen or somthin like that.system wont stay stable
@amitash
its even better than 8800GT SLI in most of the case, and 8800Ultra stands nowhere near it.
And it needs much less power nd produce much less heat that even single HD 3870 !!!!.
U wud only need a gud 650W PSU to run it.
@hellgate i OCd it using setfsb i have OCd now to 3Ghz 8hrs stable under prime the only disadvantage is i cannot change the Vcore but the quad comes with default Vcore 1.3v which is enuf for 3Ghz..maybe just barely but its enuf...ill get u the official cpuz validation in a lil while...
@dominator i just got a new cooler master extreme 600W PSU..the card requires 550w
ya i guess ur right but i already got tis one and no xchange...ill upgrade later in june...and how long do u think i can keep this card without upgrading??
U can use it w/o ny probs, but for better ocing, ull need a better one. Try the best oc u can do with it, as long as it holds everythin stable.
An oced C2Q needs lots of power. And so is the 3870 X2.
And why wud nyone oc a 3870 X2 with 2days games? u can do everytin @ 1080p @ max w/o oc.
jus got the card...it fits in my case wid about 2cm to spare and its taller tan my mobo...will get bak wid benchmarks soon...just saw assassins creed though...i get 32fps with everythin highest at 1600x900 ref rate 75hz and multisampling AA at full...is tat good for this card??
EDIT:its on vista DX10
