That's why I can't wait until nip get's his sapphires going. The scaling after two HD4870's was horrible and I'm hoping that it's different for the HD4890's. :argh:

whats wrong with your 4870's? a specific bench or what?

I'll be back from a biz trip on Wednesday. I've already copied a pic that just about takes multi gpu, but I got a long way to go before I run out of options :confused5: Always wanted a dice/ln2 setup:D

I don't own any HD4870's the last ATI cards I owned were a pair of HD3870's well I still have one I gave the other one to my brother. My statement comes from looking at reviews over and over two HD4870's scale rather well adding a third or a single HD4870X2 and adding another HD4870 the scaling is hardly worth the effort.

Nvidia cards starting with the 8800GTX's started getting somewhat good when scaling three cards and the 200 series cards are doing rather well in TRI-SLI when partnered with core i7 processors, but I haven't seen good results on the ATI side of things. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would love to be wrong as I would like to get three HD4890's since they're so well priced ATM.

Man if I wasn't so lazy :p I need to get the REX back out to play this game....

DrNip 06-28-2009 04:51 PM

You need to send that Rex back over to me as I didn't get or have time to play with it. :rolleyes:

Chuchnit 06-28-2009 05:09 PM

I'll gladly send it to you buddy. If I knew I had the time coming up to strap the pots on the vga's I would tell you to piss off, but I don't so you can have at it. E8400 installed too ;)

There is one stipulation.... You gotta beat the piss out of it. She's only seen 1.84 vnb :D

LMFAO. It was my last session. I had a bad mount on the pot and was fighting stability. Plus I was trying to run on the 266 strap with PL8 going for 5700mhz. Needless to say, I got better stabilty with lower vnb in the end. It was the bad mount that was killing me.

I think Goddy benches somewhere around that vnb though :confused3: But that is over 6600mhz :cool1:
