HD4870, HD4850 and CrossfireX!

Cold Storm · Jun 28, 2008

My god man! I can't wait to see this with TWO 4870's and that 4850!! Its a very nice jump man!

erocker · Jun 28, 2008

Just wait untill these are overclocked! 4870 + 4850 beats 2 x 3870x2's with similar system settings! On to Xfire'd Crysis...

Cold Storm · Jun 28, 2008

Erocker, I do want to say thanks for the Crossfire X experience! These 4800 series cards are nothing but sweet love!

erocker · Jun 28, 2008

Crysis in Crossfire. All the same system settings as before...

Cold Storm · Jun 28, 2008

Well in some eyes, the fps is still in good use. Its looking good my man!

wolf2009 · Jun 28, 2008

yup, and u can barely look at ur own weapon .

erocker · Jun 28, 2008

I'll have a 2nd 4870 in about a month, my wallet needs to catch up!

Here's the last bench of the night with the 4870 OC'd to 790/2000 (4000 effective)

does enabling AA cause a big hit in performance? most of the other benchies showed 4x aa being almost free.

Wile E · Jun 28, 2008

I just jizzed a little. I am officially dying in anticipation of my 4870's getting here. Can't wait to play Crysis on Very High in DX10.

For what bench?

Megasty · Jun 28, 2008

I still can't believe that two of anything, let alone 2 mid-high cards, can handle stock Crysis of VH at any res. I was just playing it @ 1920x1200 & I'm completely floored. A single 3870x2 would have died at 2-10 fps at this setting. I can't wait for the 4870x2.

erocker · Jun 28, 2008

When you have one of these 4870's in your hands. It looks and feels all high-end!

That's because it weighs as much as a bowling ball :eek:

JK, but the card really does feel high-end. It might be cause of the weigh or the raw power you know it has. I wouldn't mind have 2 of them.

erocker · Jun 28, 2008

I had to do it.

You didn't have to "DO IT" its just calling your name every time you walk into the room! "Play with me. Fondle with my hardware"....

DaMulta · Jun 28, 2008

Wow, with a QX u would be top ten.

imperialreign · Jun 28, 2008

and now, I'm :nutkick:

myself as well

I thought the deal I garnered on these 3870s was too good to pass up at the time - low and behold 2 weeks later their retail price drops . . . then the 4850 completely bitchslaps the 3870's performance

I fehl jippeded :cry:

I might just have to try and sell these two . . . or maybe sell my 2 1950 PROs so I can obtain a 4850. If CrossfireX becomes more optimized in the near future between the HD4000 and the HD3000 series, that'd so totally kick ass.

Thanks, erocker, for fueling my need to kick my own ass! :toast:

I don't think it will but I wish it would.

any of them really. Crysis would be a good place to start

Squirrely · Jun 28, 2008

Holy...

Guess ATI will have this market/price segment for a while. :laugh:

flclisgreat · Jun 29, 2008

try with 8xAA, i heard that at 8xAA a single 4870 comes close to a gtx280

Wow, is what I have to say as well..
Can't wait for my 4850 to get here....argh, want it even more now

Btw, nice wallpaper you got going there, these cards are "Out of this world"

JC316 · Jun 29, 2008

Holy shit man! Can you get the Q6600 any higher? If you could get it to around 3.8, you should see a nice jump. Insane numbers.

erocker · Jun 29, 2008

Here are some very interesting Crysis bench's using AA at x4, x8, and x16 using the HD4870. DX9, settings all on high. Very interesting...
