Hey all, not sure if this is the right place to post, so please move if necessary. I have been searching for a while to find a job of some sort in reviewing PC hardware. To my avail, I have not had a any luck! I have searched through hundreds of threads on tons of different forums for people...

I wouldn't say theres a huge difference, but it is noticeable in games like crysis where every extra frame counts. 2x 3870s dont wont add an extra $100+ to your power bill too - the 2900s are monsters on power.

We're talkin about a GTX, not GTS. BTW, that score seems kinda low for a GTS, I would expect 15k

Around 13k, plus or minus

The cards overclock in 32Mhz increments, so if you want 855, set it to 887.

Just out of curiosity, what cooler are you using?

Pretty good score... My max was 20k3 with my 2 3870s (not X2's) Try getting your quad to 4Ghz, bet you can break 22k with that.

When the quad is idling it uses less power, so it will not show up in CPUZ as using the voltage you set it to when you're at your desktop.

I second that. I agree, and have no idea why true nvidia fanboys go out and buy a Maximus Formula - that uses a X38 chipset and then they add a GTX. That pretty much puts the second PCI 2.0 slot to waste, because you can't run SLi with a Intel chipset, only one from nvidia and second; if the...

man I bet if you could push that G0 Quad to 4Ghz then you could get more than 20k!

This has been known for a while, and the only way to fix it is to flash the BIOS with a modded custom one.

My score: 20317 Specs in Sig Validation: http://service.futuremark.com/resultComparison.action?compareResultId=4689751&compareResultType=14

Not going to happen. Then there would be no competition.

Well actually for 2 3850s I think 500watts may be enough. If you have a reliable PSU (which you do, antec's are awesome) then I believe 500 watts would be enough for crossfiring 2x 3850s.

Well yeah, nothing can play Crysis @ a high resolution with good frames. Well since the 3870x2 is better than a 8800GTX, it is most defenetly faster for a 8800GT. I mean, the 3870x2 is $450, a 8800GT around $200 so you get what you pay for. Benches...
