ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 Crossfire M17xR2 / Bench & Gaming Discussion

Was looking around the net earlier today & there is pretty much zero info on mob 5870's Crossfire i.e Game Benchmarks.Its at the back of mind to upgrade my system once the drivers are sorted out,But to be honest the 4870's perform with any game i have tried so far.So any of you 5870 R2 owners can you please post some game benchmarks of like anything you play so there is some info for us to decide on .

Cheers

hi what are your load temp for 5870CF? I just received my R2 few days ago.

 

My configuration is the R2 in my signature below.
I use FRAPS. Two minute benchmarks. Turn VSync off, or your max fps will always be ~60 or below.
I'm ALWAYS at 1920x1200 resolution with ALL available graphical settings at maximum, unless otherwise noted.

Red Faction Guerrilla: Avg: 55.858 - Min: 30 - Max: 92.
Crysis: Avg: 23.392 - Min: 5 - Max: 37. FPS are too low and jumpy to enjoy.
Crysis: Avg: 34.058 - Min: 23 - Max: 44. No AA.
Fallout 3: Avg: 59.142 - Min: 36 - Max: 64. VSync is forced on. Dial a setting or two down a bit, and you'll be at a solid 60FPS.
Farcry 2: Avg: 54.025 - Min: 14 - Max: 91. Turn down the AA a notch, and I'm sure this will run at 60FPS solid.

 

Where i never seen a game bench thread for 5870's ?If there is sorry.The info i was interested in is like Notebookcheck .

Notebookcheck: Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards

 

No, there's not one for game benchies. People claim there are too many variables. I'll start posting some and we can see if it catches on, although I doubt it. I just got my laptop today, so they'll slowly trickle in as I get stuff installed. I'm just going to update this post.

 

We have the same setup.

 

I'm OC'd Silver. In regard to your temp issue, I'll run some tests to see what mine are since we are indeed the same setup.

 

Cheers would be great to have some info as there is very little to go on.Thanks Talon.

Thanks.

 

Thanks BatBoy for the edit .That's what i meant

 

In game benchmarks is all I used to do, so this will be fun for me. Probably no one else though . Here are my temps after a full run of Vantage on Extreme, Silversaver.

 

here is my temp

I'll try your program for temp

 

update temp reading with room temp 74F

 

Added Red Faction Guerrilla. Check Post #3.

Many more to come.

 

Added Crysis to Post #3.

 

Mostly I just play Bad Company 2, and I get around 60 - 70 fps with some drops to around 45 or so, but mostly stays really high. I put all settings on High, no HBAO, either 2 or 4 AA, I forget, and 6 AF I do believe. System in sig.

 

Added Fallout 3 to post #3.

 

Added FarCry 2 to Post #3.

 

Only benchmarks I tried so far were:

Far Cry 2 (everything maxed, x2 AA): min 44, max 101
Sims 3 (everything maxed): hovers around 70, dips to 20s sometimes

 

Throw your configuration in your Sig, Lordqarlyn. Thanks for the benchmarks too.

 

On Napoleon: TW it stays around 40-45 maxed out (without aa) for the most part but when you zoom right in on thousands of troops it can dip to around 28-30.
