2900 pro running crossfire

rhino56 · 11-16-2007, 03:18 PM

got 2 2900 pro gddr4 1 gb cards for a great deal

i am waiting on a new psu before i can really run them properly, i finally got them to run on my antec 550 watt in crossfire. but they underclocked themselves to 507mhz core and 514 memory. i still got 11508 in 3dmark06 with everything else at stock speeds also.

i should get my psu in a few days and ill be able to really see what they can do.

well since i couldnt really run both cards very well with the amount of power i had i decided to just try one card. i hooked up wires to it so it had enough power and i got 10523 in 3dmark06

im going to try flashing these cards to full XT's the XT bios give a little more vcore which may help clocks some.

And you're selling them?!

If I had a PCI-e capable mobo on a desktop rig I'd totally buy them from you... but I don't (*kicks lappy*)...

I REALLY need to get some DX10 hardware...

So why'd you buy two, then?
