4870 x2 - All games crash in Fullscreen but work in Windowed mode. Hi, I have found a ton of threads with people talking about this problem. The problem: Sapphire 4870 x2 installed and games will not run unless set in windowed mode. I have tested this...

from newegg will land you a free Cod:WaW, too bad you're from the UK. i say whichever is cheaper between a gtx275/4890. 4870 1GB is on par with the GTX260 216 core, and the 4870 512mb is on par with the GTX260 192 core. Get the 4870 now because it's much...

core. By the way, what are the rest of your system specs? If it's a new i7 machine, you may consider a 5xxx series card so you can get DirectX 11. Your system will last you longer without having to upgrade again. If it's a Core 2 or quad core, a 4870 or...

and the 4890 does not down clock to the 4870 clocks. In fact I have both clocked to 1100Mhz memory and the 4890 @ 955mhz core and the 4870@ 810mhz core. I have the same setup as Kalidae, however, I have a sapphire vapor-x 4890 and a sapphire vapor-x 4870,...

good in its day. Alot more preformance for alot less cash. I cant see this card becoming "old" or "out of date" for a very long time. Happy with my purchase. 4890 is 4870 but with rewired circuts and clocked faster 850mhz core vs 750 mhz core (4870). It's...

just a suggestion) Also What PSU do you have? (can re-use all other components, and have an upgrade path later) my PSU is enlight 420 watt. is that thing can handle triple core or quad core with an 4870?i guess not..so my option only upgrade the mobo...

it handle that configuration? also how effective is coupling two different cards, i realise the 4870x2 is effectively a dual core 4870 but will the be compatable with crossfire and will there be much stutter, etc i will most likely stick with the standard...

less expensive than 2 4870 cards. So why is it everywhere you turn people are bashing the 280gtx? This is the only part of the current upper end cards I do not understand. 9800GTX+<4850<260gtx 216 core<>4870<280gtx<4870x2 Where do the 4870 and 4850...

and renamed it SMT for Core i7. AMD is going to have a version of SMT but its called CMT I believe. It works a bit differently. But the original was HT, SMT is in Core i7 and CMT will be with AMD. No thats not what he is saying. You need to read...

216 Cores, and the 4870 has 800, but they measure it differently, so it really only has 160 NVIDIA-Equivalent cores. The GTX 260 runs at 675 MHz. And the 4870 runs at 750 Mhz. Multiply these with the cores, and the NVIDIA wins 145,800 to 120,000. Now...
