3870x2 Q's

[kevpuk]

Just received my new PowerColor 3870X2 with revised cooler and 3xDVI + HDMI on backplate....and seems it also had 2x6-pin PCI-e connectors - not an 8-pin in sight....so, thoughts on this ? I am thinking maybe reduced power requirements ? So perhaps will clock better/worse ? Stuck it on 850/926 in CC and seems happy through a few 3DMark 06 runs.....

Also, how do I get HDR and AA in Oblivion sure I managed previously on my x1900XT....but think it was some 'trick' ?

Been on nVidia for a while, best tool to sensibly OC these cards ?

To get HDR and AA the easiest way is to force AA.

Meaning setting it on in CCC ?

Yeah the chuck patch has now been implemented into the drivers, you force the AA on in the CCC (making sure its off in the game menu).

Excellent, well that is good news

*goes off to inspect findings*

and RivaTuner still the mutts for OC ?

and any thoughts on the 2xPCI-e power connectors ? Thought these X2 cards had 1x8-pin and 1x6-pin...?
