I have had 4 ATi cards in four months. Only one nvidia. I'm not a fanboy. I like to test it all. And if this is true I'm sooo lucky

edit: I'll make some big testing before and after the SP1. I'll post the results here.

I don't know... ATi supports the DX10.1 but looks like MS optimized the old DX10 code too. Maybe some of you could try it?

Got the card now. It looks kickass. There is no sticker on the cooler so I can see the heatsinks
Expect to see first test results soon

I don't believe that guy (Zinn) in that forum... but you never know. I am certainly interested though, as I have two computers at home, one 3-way SLI and one crossfire (with some older 1950XTs in it). Please share your personal experience and right soon!

I'm acquiring vista x64, and SP1 now. I'll see if it makes any difference on my 8800gt.

Lol nice... I'm very impressed.

With my C2D at 3.5ghz I scored 15739 in 3Dmark06

pic since it did happen:

I'll do some other benchies befor installing SP1 so we get a nice comparison.

Also I'm still looking for a Q6600 G0 and HD 3870 to finish off my build.

Good scores, truly a good card. My E6850 @ stock clock + 8800GTX 'only' scores 11500.

Is that with the just the 3870x2?
Or with the third card installed?

Oops, guess not...

You won't see the crossfire SP1 performance boost then, or does Windows see the 3870X2 as a Crossfire card?

It runs as crossfire. It is like 9800GX2. I'll check the GPU-Z screen now to see what it thinks...

edit: yes. it is crossfire running there:

I wonder how (2) 3870Gx2 in crossfire would perform?

very fast

I'm patching my COH: Opposing Fronts for a DX10 bench. After that I'll install Vista SP1 and reinstall the 8.3 catalysts.

Eagerly anticipating results. Gearing up for my next build. Looking forward to a nice DX10.1 build. Can't decide if I'll just stick with a 24" LCD, or go 30"+.

HOLY COWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Installing SP1 just made the biggest performance increase I have ever seen done by a software upgrade!
Crysis at all high 1280x1024 ran 40% faster after installing SP1! And MUCH smoother overall!

Hmm... I'm going to bench my 8800GTX setup now and see if SP1 makes a difference here.

Edit: Is it not released in finnish yet?
