** Official omg I just got my 5870 thread **

[fornowagain]

Finally got round to putting the blocks on.

Loop temp 28.5C, ambient 24.5C.

very nice

Amazing temps, now lets see how far you can push them in the OC department.

 

[fornowagain]

I'll let the loop settle, loads of air trapped in the blocks at the moment. You can see it bubbling away.

Does anybody own a Lancool DragonLord PC-K62 or the Corsair Obsidian 800D? I've read a lot about the two cases, and want to make sure that a 2x 5870 Crossfire setup would fit?

Every HD 58x0 card is on pre-order!!

Sadly..whats the waiting time on the 5870s?

 

[LOAM]

The Beta 9.11s have a weird openGL error in them that resets the graphic card driver all the time when using Sketchup, this is in windows 7, not sure about XP and is a massive PITA as I'm trying to design a library for a uni hand in, in 12 days . Oddly it seems to be OK (touch wood) in the official 9.10s .

Its probably not the correct thread to be posting it in but I didn't think it warranted a new one.

nice rig fornowagain.......hows it performing?

 

[Soylent Red]

Has anyone actually received one of the Asus 5870s yet?

Everything else seems to be coming and going but no sign of Asus.

Nice rig fornowagain, how much did that set you back?

got my 5870 crossfire rig the other day and its a beast with these cards. id love to try overclocking them but i find in crossfire the card at the top runs very hot with full load so i dont dare risk it, i presume thats basically because its right on top of the other card so not enough air is gettin at it. Is there any way to get round this?

Looks like the Vapor X is going to be using the reference PCB now, not a shorter one for those people hoping it would be shorter so they could fit it in their case.

Reference cooler looks better imo

It looks like the Vapor X won't feature the back plate the reference ones have.

 

[craptakular]

What games coming out would warrant a 58*0 purchase? I can't think of any till BF3. I need an excuse to buy a new card or cpu lol

 

[Greebo]

Dirt 2 in less than a month looks tasty and you get it free with your card

What more do you need?

 

[h11]

Got my 2 cards today. GTA IV has never looked so good for me, can max it out and get an average of ~60 FPS. Niice.

Uh. I just made a post in the wrong thread somehow.
