WJA96> So those results you gave are "pci-express 2" 16x 16x lanes, and defo not running at 8x 8x?
I only ask as that is heck of a jump just for upping the pci-express frequency!!

I'm not sure what to make of the following;
2 x x4850 in CrossfireX on a JW X48D2-Extreme with the PCIe clock locked at 100MHz, goves a 3DMark '06 score of 18750. Turn up the PCI clock to 110, and the score increases to 20,100. Turn the PCIe up to 115, and the score increases to 20,200. To me that says they coul dbe limited by 2x 8x slots rather than 2x 16x slots.
I'm really curious to hear that. It's an X48 motherboard? Increasing the PCI-E speed on the X48 board ups the performance of it by almost 10%?
p45 is below x38 so its x38> p45 x38 is enthusiast and if some p45 are some other features x38 is still better
Yes, X48 is cherrypicked X38, so X38 is better than P45.
How would an Asus Maximus Formula sound with 2 4850s? Also, is the maximus formula PCI-E 2? If they've got 2 PCI-E 2 lanes, does that mean one of its 16X lanes is equivalent to a 32X lane PCI-E 1.1?

Its sounds better with two 4870 even better it sounds with two 4870x2 on 30" dell![]()
are all X38 chipset boards pcie v2.0
I'm getting 2 4850s to play with for a while, then when the 4870s are out, and have dropped in price a bit, I'll pick two of them up and put one 4850 in a media PC, and another in a server PC.
4850 in a server and media pc? what a waste
slightly off the point but what is faster, 3870 x2 or 4850 xfir on the Q45 deluxe
