2 2600xt ddr4 version in crossfire results

ive installed atitools and i tryed to overclock it but it keeps going back to 800mhz core. i guess the program doesn't support 2600 crossfire yet...

Don't use AMD gpu clock tool for x-fire setups as it can't OC x-fired cards. I think ATi tool can (not 100%), however that's really, really buggy. Rivia tuner is the least buggy and I think (not 100% again) it can OC x-fired cards.....

ATi tools doesn't support oc for 2000 series in crossfire also Rivia tuner doesn't. the AMD gpu clock tool did work..

Well the 900Mhz core sounds a bit suspicious :P not that I'm saying your lying or anything its just pretty well known around the net that these cards will only clock to 857 max at the moment on the currents sets of drivers as there seems to be some sort of limit.

well im now at 880mhz (EVEREST Ultimate Edition makes it 878mhz)

so what program are you using to clock the card then? Also still using the 8.40 set of drivers?

Oh an update on my score :)

3DMark Score 5168 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 1821 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 2216 Marks
CPU Score 2393 Marks

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2655071

Only 845Mhz core and 850mem

i uesd AMD gpu clock tool.. yes im still using 7.8 beta (8.40) drivers...

An interesting comparison - we have the exact same cpu at stock and are getting this humongous FPS difference - I wonder what I would get if I got a 9800 card come September time! certainly shows that at higher res with FSAA it all goes down to the GFX card on modern games as long as the cpu is half decent to begin with.

It's all looking good for Crysis methinks :p

what results u get? are u on vista or xp?
 
im confused now.

why is that when using AA in css vista is faster than xp but when using no AA in css xp is faster than vista?

am i going crazy or something...

I get better results in Vista too, I used to get 84~fps with 4xFSAA in XP but on Vista it's over 130fps.

I think the Vista drivers are much better really.

but why when using no AA in css, xp is faster than vista?
 
vista, max settings, 1280x1024 :

2007-08-05 20:23:05 - Quake4
Frames: 7724 - Time: 130667ms - Avg: 60.641 - Min: 49 - Max: 65

xp, max settings, 1280x1024 :

i've found out Fraps slows it down, because i tryed it with CSS it slowed it right down to 20fps.. so i think Fraps isn't good for benchmarking

Fraps doesn't do anything to the frame rate unless you turn the recording on, otherwise it's just a FPS meter.

wrong

Does Fraps have a performance impact on the game?

There is a small overhead associated with drawing the framerate on screen. This may vary depending on your system configuration, but should remain relatively minimal. The best way to measure it on your own system is to find a game that allows you to benchmark it and compare the results obtained with and without Fraps loaded.

When you are benchmarking the overlay is automatically disabled to provide the most accurate results.

see. it does...
