Welcome to the pit and NICEEE system. & if you are planning to OC, run only 2 sticks of RAM to achieve the best results. Roger, your system is perfectly fine mann! My first system was a quarter of that last year and i still entered! Would you not have a guilty concious if we lost by a mere point, that couldve been YOUR points that won the FW?

This year is gonna be pretty harsh. Hey Sho, whats your specs I will man!!.. give me time, its not till next month anyway. Oh and 2 4870X2, waste of money, one is good enough for now, 2 in Crossfire isn't all that much difference than a single one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not keeping them both. When they go out of stock, I am returning my card so then I get a refund. then, I am ordering it again and repeating the process. This way, I have them for FW and to mess with. check TRP. I have no intention to waste $1200 on video cards. I found a loop hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) For most games, yes, it is a total waste of money. But for 3DMock, I'm sure they'll come in handy. Edit: Never mind, I see that Vantage isn't a part of the competition. Edited August 12, 2008 by brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I must know... Is the PhysX cheat for nVidia allowed? If so, then I'm out. Its a waste of money, bench or not. Its already filled with 2gb of GDDR5. Your :filtered: if you think 2 is worth it to play counter strike on a 17" monitor Why, with a 4870 its fair game. they cheat, you score major points for having a real card, So I see no harm Edited August 12, 2008 by el kido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Refer to my edit. I recently saw that 3dMark Vantage isn't a part of the competition, so it's now a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miggs78 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Still think 2 of them too expensive not worth it. If you did want to waste money, get a better board, better case. Something better. Imo for most of us using low resolution 2x4870 is even overkill, a 4850CF is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) It's overkill, no doubt, but all that matters to me is that nVidia pulled an AMD. They relied on G92 for too long, and look what it got them: Horrible profit margins, a huge, hot chip, and falling stock prices.

el kido Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Miggs, thats why pay later comes in handy. No interest, come on! Might as well. Oh ya, I wanted to ask, what are your system specs? The 4850X2 looks interesting. $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
