    HIS HD2900XT Crossfire on DFI RD600/QX6700, 3Dmark06>21k7

    Driver 8.38+CCC 8.36
    QX6700/watercooling
    VGA Cards with stock cooling, no oc (in fact, cannot oc when CF enabled )
    Corsair 8500C5D 1G*2/WR RaptorX/SST OP1000w

    as u may see, Crossfire is more efficiency than SLI.
    let's pray for ATI, god bless them give us better driver

    in 3Dmark06, CPU score is much more higher with nv-card than ati-card

    8.38 has not officially released.

    p5k platform, will test later, but i dont think 16x+4x is better than 8x+8x.

    about efficiency:
    19k 06= 3.85G qx67 + asus striker extreme + 88gtx-685/1100 SLI.
    19k 06= 3.85G qx67 + dfi rd600 + 2900xt-743/828 Crossfire
    16k 06= 3.85G qx67 + asus striker extreme + 88gtx-685/1100 Single
    14k 06= 3.85G qx67 + dfi rd600 + 2900xt-850/1050 Single
    12k7 05= 3.85G qx67 + dfi rd600 + 2900xt-743/828 Single

    nice VW.
    how does it compare to 975x (8x/8x) I bet you could hit 20k. have you tried overclocking the cores in ati tray tools?

    Did a quick test on ASUS P5W DH with a QX6700 cooled by a E6600 boxed cooler So limited cpu speed. I'm using 8.37 downloaded from ati.com.

    Thats is because of the board. 975 is overall better then RD600.

    Stock clocks on the cards. OC doesnt work for crossfire and probably never will.

    Try overclocking in Vista...API should allow for independant clock control, don't think XP does...I cannot get same function we talked about yesterday in XP, Kinc.

    15995(8.38, cpu @ 3.0ghz)

    Thats the thing... after nvidia's 158 driver they figured out a way of making the CPU score much higher than it should be, when in reality CPU score should only change with a different CPU...

    I hope they get CF ocing working soon.......

    I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.

    in fact, 8.37.4 & 8.38, about the same performance.
    both ccc cannot work properly, automatically shutdown and restart ag. and ag.
    the only ccc i can use now is 8.36.1

    975x's overall performance is better than RD600 (cpu/ram), but for vga card, i'll choose RD600.

    will compare with asus P5K-dlx when i back from work.

    How's the heat in your case from the 2900 XT CrossFire?
    "To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

    What about BOIS flashing both of the cards with higher default frequences?

    Yes that would work. Or turning of 3D in the power play table.
