Most 4870 cards are a bit noisy, trying to keep my system as quiet as possible. 2 4870's also give more performance than one 5870 so worth the relatively small investment

5850 would be good enough by itself, but don't really want to spend that much. 4800 & 5800 series cards are also not compatible:

didnt realise they weren't compatible

trying to find a review of the 5870 against a CF 4870 might have to look later

what type of motherboard have you got i did read that if its a 16x/4x you might be better off with 1x 5870 but there like $600

Running a Core i7 920 clocked at 3.2GHz on a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard. Can run 2 cards at full 16x speed.

If I end up making the jump to a 5870 it won't be until they have halved in price. Not going to happen for a while though, especially since Nvidia is yet to release their competitor. I have a feeling they've been caught with their pants down & weren't expecting ATi to improve as much as it has in the last couple years. Either that or they're looking to make something that will totally dominate, though they may run out of development funds if they don't look out.....

imo ATi will bring a 5990 out soon after the fermi to try and keep a wrangle hold on the market may work it may not i dont know much about Nvidia as they dont hold my interest

that board is pretty nice 3 way CrossfireX or SLI 2 @ 16x and 1 @ 8x

so its the **70 series or nothing you wouldnt consider 5850's i run 2x 4850's in a OC Q6600 and score 18k in 3dmark 06

>>3d mark 06 18916<<

back when i tried a 7800GTX it didnt perform up to the hype and i stuck with ATi

>>3dmark 06 7800gtx 4069<<

>>3dmark 06 x1900xtx 4990<<

Actually for 3 way SLI it works out to be 16x8x8. It splits the second lot of 16 lanes over the lower 2 cards in 3 way SLI. Completely useless though unless you happen to own a super expensive hi-res +30 inch monitor. 2 slots is pleanty :cheers:

2x 5850's would be awsome, but still rather pricey at the moment & a bit overkill IMO. If I can get a second one of these cards it will be by far the best bang for my buck at the moment, just going to have to keep an eye out.

2x 4850's should see some pretty good performance, probably starting to push the limit of your CPU.

yeah 1ghz OC is enough

i didnt read that mobo as that but you would know i only read the stats page from gigabyte

yeah i think 2x 5850 is like one 5870 prolly a little more for the 2x 5850 dont look @ prices or ill want a new system and mine is good enough

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
