Some very interesting results to say the least. Thanks for the info! I was looking for a nice, easy comparison like this.

Doesnt tell the whole story though, id wait for the hardocp review before making any judgements

Nothing does

This is a very nice user review. I like them in general because I like their simplicity and the fact that it is using a "real user's" system\environment.

Thanks for taking the time to share.

I would have thought the minimum fps in CoJ would have improved more than that over the 3870x2. going to 21fps from 16 still seems a little low especially compared to most of the other numbers.

Ahh interestin results.

I have a question though - I am getting around 5-10 fps lower than you in crysis under the same benchmarking conditions. I have a brand new Sapphire 4870x2, installed the drivers that came on the CD. I have a Q9450 @ 3.0ghz.

Now I'm worried i'm not gettin the performance I should be (always a paranoia of mine with new hardware). Is there any way to run some tests to see if I'm gettin what I should? How do I tell if both Gpu's are under load?

thanks

it could be due to the fact his c2q is 600mhz faster than yours

Ahh that is the most obvious difference. I just assumed the CPU wouldn't be the bottlenecking factor.. guess I could very well be wrong.. at least at these settings

 

[crawlgsx]

CPU could definitely be (and most likely is) the bottleneck in this case.
