For those interested in X1800XT Crossfire resuts ...

Stock run, all CCC settings defaults:

Only thing is ATi Tool's fan speed only controls the master card, so I have to rely on the drivers, which don't spin the fans up early enough IMO
Also ATi tray tools seems to disable crossfire, and the only way to re-enable it is to turn of ATT and reboot

LOL sorry, hadn't got the images sorted

Don't forget the 06 score is low 'cos I have a single core CPU., there's a fair amount of pts lost on that.
Not sure if 05 is that bad TBH ... a tad under 9K on one X1800XT stock is about right, and remember I have not moved the sliders to performance etc.

Overclocking the cards gave very little improvement, I still feel like I should have some chipset drivers for my Mobo, but if there are any I haven't found them

The Asus A8R-MVP.

Am I supposed to have Xpress 200 chipset drivers 'cos theres none on the CD, just the Uli ?

 

[Vogon]

Eh ?
The only drivers I can find on their webby are Catalyst and the integrated video ones, do you have a link please ?

BTW you still can ATM .. OC are showing stock of the Crossfire X18 ...

Motherboards with ati graphics ? hmm, ah well, let me investigate ... thanks

Taken my CPU is @ 2.6, so you should be getting 89xx I would say.

*Edit, nope nothing there for me SB is Uli, Gart is not for PCI-E I believe, and nothing mentioning NB .. ah well, can't be a NB driver .. strange but heh !
