Seems to be a pattern with these Best Buy cards. My box wasn't battered, but I received no disk or manual though the box indicates it comes with both. Someone also mentioned a free Prince of Persia? Or am I missing something there?
Mine also came with the 2 6 pin adapters. My PSU also doesn't have the correct 8 pin connector and I didn't think to try the 6 pin one, will have to try it when I get home... though that one poster has me paranoid about it now!
Yeah, it works great. Took a few tries to get it working. I had to enable Overdrive, create the profile in the manager, then find the profile, edit it, save, then load via profile manager. Its idling at 50C right now since my room is hot. I was worried that with the fan fix, the card wouldn't increase fan speed if needed, but it definitely ramps the rpm's up when it gets too hot. Its hard to get a definite reading as there is no in-game overlay for temperatures, but right after leaving a game I am seeing high 80's for the card. I guess a new case, pump, and waterblock are in my future.

I added a second X2 to my computer last night.
I did the profile hack and set the fans at 45%.
Noise is minimal and all 4 cores run at about 48-50C at idle and 65-70 under full load.
that sounds kinky...I think my next plea to my wife is going to be for another pump and a waterblock.

Don't do it in the overdrive profile (personal experience).
Anyone tried the 8.8 catalyst?
I used the Catalyst 8.8 beta drivers and CCC.
The beta actually has newer drivers than the 8.8 official release.
I could not get Crossfire to work with anything except the beta 8.8.
I like them alot and my cards are very stable.
Can i ask you something?
If you benched Vantage , whats your GPU score? I am trying to find out this because mine is ^13100 and i have friends that are getting like 15K
then how else can I monitor the gpu speeds and make sure both gpus are at 750/900?
I play games. Sorry.
Benchmark software doesn't do anything for me.
me neither , i just want to know is there anything wrong with my card, because thats a lot of performance...
I got 13354 but my gpu #1 is still underclocked at 507/500 so I'm trying to fix all the little tweaks and such
Speedy, how were you able to tell that?
I hope you bought a new power supply because thats cutting it close with a 750watt unit. also I hope you have a 30inch monitor because 2 4870x2 cards dont do anything more than 1 4870x2 can do on a 24inch or lower. heck even at 2560 having 2 4870x2 cards only helps in a couple games.My x2's have arrived!
at home...
and I'm at work....
Doh.
Well it takes a couple seconds for the clocks to change so I alt tab'd while vantage was running, after deleting by profiles and re adjusting I got it to 750/900 in vantage for gpu #1, but in crysis it still stays at 507/500
I take it this sale is over now? The link in the OP shows 549.99.
