I cant believe that the only difference between your 4870 and mine is the core speed.
my memory is at stock speed, and just the core from 750 to 850MHZ...
I am using the latest drivers also...
Yeah, totally unmodded that Hd4870 because it has that new Sapphire Cooler on it, so I wasn't sure what to do with it yet or what it could do without changing that cooler which looks non-standard, so...
Everything in CCC was left at medium settings. 9.1 version, and in Vista 64.
Kinda surprised you've got some +45% score over my own one. Must be some OC'ing you're doing there!
You're now getting me to doubt myself.....lol
I'll look tonight and see if i didn't invert the 5 and the 9.....
I sent all the values to the Cinebench database on the PC so it will be just a case of checking....
It appears for some reason on Vista 64 (it might actually be the power settings after a quick thought) the opengl score will "increase" the speeds every time you run it till it reaches the 7000 mark odd for the opengl bit. Very weird, will need to look into it further later.
Well, that wasn't the entire update post with a new BIOS (beta), I have now pushed the i7 920 to 3.6Ghz. Scores are as follows:
Single: 4972
Multi: 20236
Too afraid to push it further due to inadequate cooling. But I certainly think this baby could do more. But this 1Ghz Overclock is certainly no slouch!
Just read yesterday that the ATi drivers will have optimisations for multi GPU's in OpenGL, but it will be up to the software dev to implement with a patch.
Cinebench should be one of the first to get an upgrade for multi-chip, but then again they didn't have to do it for Nv (afaik), so why for ATi..?
How many OpenGL proggies are there still out there anyway...?
Even the Carmack is starting to see OpenGLhas been left to play by itself for too long...
