Quite true. It's a $100+ difference but then you also get double the vram. It is refreshing to see more of these multi-monitor articles and discussions becoming available

I'm a bit baffled by the mountains of joy and enthusiasm from the responses to this review. To give context, I own both platforms (460 1GB SLI, 5870 1GB SLI, 5870 2GB SLI, running at the same resolution config as the article). Apple to apple means reference speeds. The article uses "stock...

In all of his reviews related to multimonitor the numbers are based on landscape. Would u be able to point us to anything that says otherwise? As to why nothing was said who knows what commercial pressure he is under? Do a Google search on the subject under crossfire and u will see a...

Just want to share with people who prefer a 3x1 Portrait config that the current Nvidia 2D Surround solution does not scale as it should under Portrait Mode with DX9. This is tested with GTX460 SLI, 258.96 WHQL driver, under Windows 7 64-bit running on an X58 + i7 930@4.2GHz system, 3 x Dell...

Yes I've inserted an edit at the first post to reflect that.

Sorry I dont play Crysis and my copy has been sold. Nothing more to offer other than the obligatory try the latest drivers, or settings (try follow the settings that worked best for legitreview they've done a good job on 4870x2). HK side. Hovering between 75% to 100%. I wouldnt be too...

I assume you mean power connections. See below: There's 2 PCI-E 6-pin connections available from the Corsair, each sitting on different 12V rails: So, logically you would use 1 from each rail to connect to each card. The Sapphire package comes with a Molex (ie the power connector you use...

Thanks for all the kind words. You have all already paid me in full this way :)

Not sure which of my many problems this refers to :) Think of how those "reviews" are done. Put a platform together, plob the card in, get the system in a position to run a game, extract a set of numbers, jot them down, unplug power and bung the next card in, rinse and repeat. These guys...

As others have posted, Crossfire does bring support to multi-displays, but with certain caveats and bugs. Some of my write up has covered this: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1032677354#post1032677354

Thanks. I spent some time on the Corsair support forums before I blew cash on the HX620 knowing what's to come. 2 thumbs up for the engineers over that forum, their responses are honest, professional and no non-sense.

Some might remember a writeup I posted 12 days ago which detailed my AoC specific experience with a GTX 280, being one of the first consumers in the world (I live in Hong Kong) enjoying the new Nvidia release. My GTX 280 AoC Specific Review: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1315672...

Yes pricing would throw an interesting spin to the whole 4870X2 vs GTX 280 (I own the latter right now). We know for almost a FACT that 4870 is at least on par with a GTX 280, judging from the 4850 benchmarks (on Anand's, numbers coincide with a number of private users' reports), backed also...

My sensors tab reports the same speed as the default found in the main page. Looks like mine is definitely not downclocking. I can force it through with NVidia System Tools, but there wont be an option to down-volt which is what I'm after. Can I ask what chipset is your motherboard using...

I'm afraid that's not true. The downclocking is not a unique hybrid power feature. Please share your thoughts if you own one of these cards. Thanks.
