UVD is awesome
and HD DVD playing in PowerDVD using ATI's awesome Unified Video Decoder (UVD) + Half-Life 2: Episode Two
to give you a hint, Athlon X2 5000+, 4GB DDR2 6400, 74GB raptor with X1800 XT decodes the HD DVD at 100%, no HL2 with 3870 it decodes around 3-10% and even let you play HL2:EP2 at around 50-90fps with everything at very high with AA & AF max

some images after more testing, reinstalled vista x64 with sp1 rc, ati hotfix driver, high settings on all

its playable realy!, it slows down sometimes but that is expected on high setting

nflesher87 · Nov 30, 2007

dont have xp, but i can do 32-bit crysis in vista, it should be around the same as xp

gonna do it now bro :rockout:

sneekypeet · Nov 30, 2007

Wiak, you run Vista and ill run XP and see where we end up, of course we are on completely different systems tho! Cefurkan's system is comparable to mine in specs!

trog100 · Nov 30, 2007

the 3870 cards wont do AA in crysis it kills the fps stone dead.. so its pointless asking for a bench with 4 x AA..

bin there.. done that.. played the bloody game..

and here is the proof!!!!!! Altho this is from the DEMO and not the full game....not sure how much difference it would make. I ran teast previously without AA and got in the 35-36FSP range.

i see 21 fps avg
where is 35-36 ?

or is this with 4x aa ?

sneekypeet · Nov 30, 2007

that is with 4XAA without I get 35-36 high settings.

ok thnx

still 8800gt gets %50 more performance when aa opened

but witouth aa 3870 performans is pretty good

trog100 · Nov 30, 2007

even 2 x AA will kill it.. its a game/driver thing.. still once the resolutions go up there isnt much need for AA anyways.. mine looks quite pretty at 1680 x 1050..

i played with textures and shaders on high everything else on medium.. this gives an average of 40-ish fps in the bench thingy.. between 35 and 45 in the game..

looks pretty and plays smooth..

you should get largon to ask pinto if he can run the bench for ya...be interested to see what his card can do with Crysis......http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=44942&page=4

Check post #64....lol

@ Trog...did I read correctly that this card (3870) isnt actually suported/optimized until the CCC8.x series drivers? Cant seem to remember where I read this . Its just something that is in my memory.

trog100 · Nov 30, 2007

when it arrived it came with some none standard drivers.. the 7.11 drivers work with it but i dont think are optimized for it.. so whatever the card does now it should get better..

Your card is stable at 850 core and 2125 shader? :eek:

Impressive, even if it's not totally stable, but enough for benchmarking. Good job.

I got my 3870 "yesterday".... So I shot some pictures

It's a Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512MB:

Nice chick on the box, and full of the card's specs, forces you to read it:
http://nwgat.net/woot/files/17/TechPowerUp/powergfx2.jpg

STOP! I almost believed it myself ( I'm holy, do not touch me ):
http://nwgat.net/woot/files/17/TechPowerUp/powergfx5.jpg

Inside I found DVI/HDMI/Composite/6-Pin power cable + other stash:
http://nwgat.net/woot/files/17/TechPowerUp/powergfx4.jpg

4CD's, 3DMark 06 and PowerDVD seems to me as the most usable:
http://nwgat.net/woot/files/17/TechPowerUp/powergfx3.jpg

I also noticed that shrinking the core-nanometer doesnt really make a card smaller:

No Crossfire for Crysis? One word. "conspiracy" Why did they lock out Crossfire for Crysis? Does SLI work in Crysis? If it does it was a -simple- Nvidia payoff I'd guess. Didn't some Korean get Crysis Crossfire enabled though? If it doesn't do Crossfire I'm not bothering to buy the game. lol I didn't spend $1000s on my PC not to use it.
