Oh dear. I can read it just fine but I'm not getting into an argument about who's got the best eye sight!

All I was saying is that I chose to resize to that res because i thought that it was the right option. It's not, and I shall do it bigger next time. You only have to ask for a bigger image in future or something.

Jeez, what's with you lot today. :(
 
And heres my High one :)

This system still needs tweaking because vista is at all stock configs .

35fps is great for that card, I'd like to know the clocks

Its a crossfire setup 3850 256mb and a 3870 512mb, both stock. I'm guessing the 3850 is actually doing very little extra.
I'm hoping to change the 3850 for another 3870 soon.
 
ah right, didnt notice the crossfire part.

The 3850 is essentially the same as the 3870 just different clocks, the 3870 also has ddr4 sometimes. Unless you get a good price or the 3870 clocks are amazing I would not advise bothering to swap but obviously matching the 512mb would be nice for games.


Also I dont believe crysis makes as much from crossfire and/or sli as other games might. Try seeing the difference in 3dmark05 or similar

I'm not to worried about the fps to be fair :), it was just the clock speed gpu-z was reporting, thought the cards were not engaging 3d mode properly.

The 3850 is ddr3 and 3870 ddr4, just ran with out crossfire and got 30fps, pretty sure the 3850's 256mb of ram is holding the 3870 back.
No point the extra heat and power requirments for very little benefit so i think im gonna sell the 3850 as it was only bought as a temporary thing and get a cheap 3870 512mb when the new cards come out.
Keeps your eyes open in the MM for a cheap 3850 ;)
 
Yea they not bad cards, I swapped mine for a 2900xt though. The big memory bus really seems to help with buggy old dx9 games and it makes a great fan heater :o

I ran the demo and measured the video memory usage with VidMemWatchV3 and it showed up as 341meg
 
It seems Vista 64bit likes 4 gigs of ram better than 2 gigs .

After reformatting and adding the ram and jacking up the cards to 830/2400/2075 this rig netted a 92 :)
