Radeon HD 3870 X2 at CES

[sri_lion]

I meant the 3870 X2 version. X2 runs in Crossfire mode to multiplex the two cores (two cards to be precise)

2 in 1 ne? yeah! I think that'll work well!

How could there be a negative pressure? :S

Shouldn't exhaust Total CFM be greater than intake Total CFM? :S

His PSU got 2 x 80mms pulling out.Usually 120mms are 62CFM.80mms are 32CFM sp it will create like none~4CFM negative pressure.Considering VGA blow out it is negative pressure.Right?

Machang i have strange question but I'm sure you guys know. What is the best graphics card for a small form factor case PC? It's 1 half-height PCIe x16 (Graphics)

The PC is a Dell Dimension 9200c

Oh!S**t!! I went wrong..Didnt saw half height thingy.That means you have a real slim shady,eh?means you need a 6cm heighted card assuming that normal ones are 12cm.Then then then it must be a lowend like 8400GS, 8200GS HD 2400.All mid and high range are full size and high range is dual slot.

pls read the above post by me.Is it right?What ships to you.Newegg will do CA well coz they have store there too.NCIXUS,Tigerdirect,zipzoomfly,frys,compusa,clubit,xoxide....(I prefer newegg-releable,3 day shipping,no hassle,excellent service..)

 

[zCexVe]

If you cna really tell me the horizantal space available there to mount the card,I can be very useful.Also you wont need more than 100 bucks(With the exchange rate I dunno what you will get )for this.

Machang yes newegg ships here and tiger direct.ca is my prefered. im checking the height now to see what kinf od space i have.

Spot on the card should be around 6".

But let me get this straight!! A pressure build off in any space only when the air is contained or not released in proportions that more or equal than its taking in right? If then it should'nt really be the case in mine because air pressure build of should be minimum since my casing infront is more like a wire mesh.. so Intakes and Exhausts are not the only places that air travels through!!

you thought pressure means here like a vacuum cleaners? LOL nah,Its not that pressure.We know that to fill the Vacuum created air have to drag in thorugh holes(IN THE PC)in your case mostly will be from the front grill(Thats why I love yours).

Well...

ATI Radoen's are better in performance, we all know that, But has many cons than pros.

Good cards of ATI are very heaty, & will eventually burn because of the excessive heat.
The heat sink & the fan which ships with the card is very crappy. You really have to downgrade the clock rates if U want to use it for a long time lols, or u must buy a very good vga sink & a fan to protect it from over heating ( wud cost you about $50 extra )

If you live in SL (where room temp rises 30+ degrees) & you dont have a AC room (lol) ATI is clearly not the best choice U cud make. Switch for Nvidia. Coz after all a little less performance with Nvidia is better than loosing your card due to overheating.

& FYI Nvidia holds the market with their super 8800 series, the most recent one 8800 GT is said to have equal performance like that of GTS & costs alot less...


Cheers,

Okay.I thought you had the PC standing not lying.hmm how can I ask you?Alright.In the back(Of the PC)how long is the slot opening bracket for the VGA?The metal thing you breakout to fix an additional card?

Your post really describes off your Nickname
Cheers,to you too.

Machang that's around 6 inches too, I have a TV Tuner card already in there it's also 6 inches in height machang. dell recommends ATI Radeon X1300 128MB(Half Height PCIE) but i was looking for something better.

Machan zCexVe, Are u still an AMD fanboy?

Machan zCexVe, Are u still an AMD fanboy?

Yes ,AMD Fanboy.But unfortunately switch to use Intel for me.Got the mobo,RAM,CPU cooler,fans,have to get a case everything ready except for the CPU.Waiting till the new 45nms to come and get stable to get a one.Hopefully my existing mobo+RAM+CPU must be sold to get the CPU.I'm broke to the last bone now.
P.S-All AMD fanboys are still AMD fanboys except they are now starting to use Intel coz they dont perform well,but go cheap and aleways being late with errors.Anyway Its just the mobo+CPU to change.My main reason is I dont have a reseller market.no AMD market here. And when Q6600 is 280 USD who will look back?
