*** Far Cry 2 1680 x 1050 max settings Top List ***

New score:

and now 22.2k in 3dmark06 :)

Can only seam to clock the card to 800/975, any higher and i get artifacts, how the guys reached 830/1000 is beyond me! :p

Btw im getting uber micro-stutter in all games. This happening for all 4870x2 owners?

Trying to find a solution but nada so far. Really anoying, its like its running at 40fps but feels like 15..

I will post up a bigger pic tonight 4 ya :)

BTW: its 67.54 in dx10 and 72.81 in dx9

Ok cool I will update it now.

I sent my 4870x2 back since my 280 felt smoother even at lower fps :p (damn microstuttering!).

Updated dx9 and dx10 scores from me since im now on vista 64 :)

lol im not accusing you of cheating but anyway:

At what bus speed? 471
What drivers are you using? latest official 178 somthing
What motherboard? asus p5q delux
What memory speed? 1066mhz @ 942 (next step up is like 1150 which is too high)
Have you disabled any background services for crap like adobe, punkbuster, nero etc? clean format, no additional services running
Defragged before running? clean format
etc, etc, etc...

Only reason why i was asking is because I got basically the exact same score in dx9 and then you get 6fps more in dx10. Not that it matters now anyway since I have my 4870x2 running now :)
 
I'll take second place back now :D Thankyou Please :D

Webbo, You are having it mate :D

Q6600 (G0) @4000MHz

thats a MEGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA overclock! gwan my son :D

If i push my shader above 1427 in ati tool it artifacts :(, but i can still run stable enough up to 1500 for a few minutes before i get em, hense the benchmark runs. Could it be that I'm just unlucky with my card and its not a decent overclocker ? Its a evga standard 280 (not pre-clocked).
