    5870 or 4870x2?

    Yeah, thats what I thought guy. Get as mad as you want about it, 4870x2 is slower and just about everyone knows it. there are quite a few games out there that don't care at all about crossifre or sli, it's a well known limitation of both technologies, denying that it exists? Just ignorant. I...

    Early Fermi Benchmarks

    I wouldn't pay much mind to that guy, trying real real hard to justify his quad-fire 4870s. He's in another thread somewhere trying to convince a guy to buy 4870x2 instead of a 5870.

    GTX 285 x2 SLI - Problem?

    That 285 should not be hitting 105C in furmark, you aren't on the bad news fan doesn't work recalled driver set are you? The fan should be ramping to 100% before those cards even hit close to 90C

    Power VR's tbr vs. zbuffer

    Tile based rendering was awesome for the time, mostly because it allowed power VR cards to perform very agressive hidden surface removal, now hidden surface removal is more or less a part of every modern GPU, so it loses some of it's kick. It was a very elegant solution to the problem at...

    5870 or 4870x2?

    No offense here, but you are getting really defensive over something that you can't really disprove. You are getting emotional over your investment in 4870x2s, you've made many posts regarding how much you love them, and how great you think they are compared to 5870s. The fact you're upset...

    5870 or 4870x2?

    Oh yeah the x2 did have 2gb vs the 512 per gpu didn't it. And why would you quote my post, then double quote lower minimum framerates. It's not like you can deny thats pretty much the biggest failing of the whole last gen double GPU card vs current gen single gpu card. If the OP is at all...

    5870 or 4870x2?

    4870x2 has 512m framebuffer per GPU, it is slower in minimum framerate in about every test I've seen run, the guy was not offbase at all saying it's consistently slower. A pair of well overclocked 4890s with 1 gig will occasionally beat a 5870 in terms of minimum framerate, a 4870x2 may do this...

    Ubisoft's new DRM cracked in under 25 hours

    Lol take that wabewalker. Maybe this will teach UBI not to invest money in a technology that is now pretty much PROVEN to only screw over paying customers, and leave pirates completely unaffected.

    some fermi performance numbers

    It's not really their fault ya know, after a while all you complete fanboys start to look the same. If you posted something other than OMG NVIDIA AWESOMO-O sometime, might not happen. Alas.

    Death of the Instruction Manual

    When I was a kid I used to keep the fallout 1 and 2 manuals in my backpack for occasional fun reading. They were super well done, and totally looked like a piece of vault-tec schlock. I lived in california and some creep broke into a friends car and stole my backpack. It was pretty...

    Strange problem with 5970

    Right, so you're a prick, and ATI shouldn't fix the defective GPUs they've been crapping out because you can hack up an xml file to fix it on a temporary basis. Thats kinda what I thought. People bitch because the PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE. So maybe use your brains next time, clean the dick out...

    Strange problem with 5970

    Because the cards don't run properly at rated speed? What happens if ATI changes the driver profiles and all of a sudden you can't set an overriding 2d clock a couple years down the road? Thats right, what is now just an annoyance becomes a defective card, a defective card you can no longer...

    Strange problem with 5970

    They sure do if you have a dual-link DVI monitor that works fine with a competitors card.

    Strange problem with 5970

    Really? Thats amazing because three people posted in this thread with the 2d idle problems not occuring at all, and with a copious number of replacement video cards, I no longer have the issue at all either. Pretty amazing that a problem that can be resolved by getting an actual...

    Strange problem with 5970

    No, only the massive number of 5870 and 5970s that don't operate properly at specified 2d clocks out there are doing it actually. So far I've had: 1 XFX 5870 - green artifacts in aero, green artifacts in 2d mode when at low 2d clocks 2 Diamond 5870 - green artifacts in aero, green artifacts...
