Rehit Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 that thing is going to be a beast... :thumbs-up: i think i am going to add just another 3870 and run 3 gpu crossfireX. i am still on the fence about Vista. i really hate Vista and do not want to spend the money if somebody can get the drivers hacked before the wars deadline... all i have here is old beta discs and i do not think they will allow me to update.

I do not want to use Vista either but I ordered it also. I have seen some 27,000 and up 3DMark06 scores with the 9650 and dual 3870x2s, so I will see...

kingdingeling Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Road, are you running dual HD3870X2's? I didn't quite catch that If so, that'd be an awesome comparison of how 4 GPUs compare to Rehit's 3 GPUs (yes, the CPU is different, but still!).

Yes, I have one Sapphire card and the other is on the way. Dang 9650 has not left or even been charged yet, I do not know what the problem is with it. I emailed them but no response yet...

Rehit Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 i should be able to hang pretty close with the CPU. even if RR is using H2O... i can make 4 GHZ runs in everything but 3D06... i can only manage about 3.8 or 3.9 in that. i just hope somebocy hacks those drivers in the next couple of days. XP will support 3 GPU's... :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant try it until my other card gets here.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My card will be here tomorrow along with Vista . I am going to try it also. I read that when I upgrade to vista my xp software will no longer be any good. I wonder if I can upgrade from windows 2000, if I can I will install it and save my xp... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammin Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Vista isn't that bad really. It just isn't great for most benchmarking. Also, I can't seem to find much inspiration for signature images so far. Here are three kind of work in progress things, none of which I am particularly enamored with. Not much going on, something not quite right about this one. Could choose your own background picture and color for this one. Again, I'm not a huge fan of it. Could change the logos (ATI, Intel etc) based on what you use. Space for your name, possible to change background color (or maybe add a picture again). I'm not really feeling any of these at the moment. Need to do better. Edited March 6, 2008 by jammin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Vista isn't that bad really. Isn't that good either I'm not really feeling any of these at the moment.Need to do better. @ Rehit that is why I was wondering if it worked with win 2000....
