I am stunned at the solid performance of this beast. put the 8.12 driver on, got some screen flickering issue at the beginning, resolved using Riva Tuner by manually overclocking to 780/928 bypassing CCC, now it is working admirably in 2D as well as 3D games.
I must admit that I am stunned at the raw performance of this beast if we forget about 4870x2. The one game I wanted to test out is of course Call of Duty World at War Multiplayer mode. You may not believe this, using the in-game graphics setting 4XAA and I believe it is 8XAF which is offered by the game engine. You never got anything below 30 FPS basically. To be quite fair to the card, nearly most of the time, the FPS read above 60. It doesn't take the card too much effort to cap at 91 FPS. Strangely, though it never reaches 100 FPS, maybe that is for 4870X2!
However, what is stopping the card is smokes. The framerate-per-second bleeded so badly and actually dropped below 40 still above 30 when you go through smokes. Is there a way to fix this?
And by the way, with 8XAA, 16XAF and Temporal Anti-Alisaing set from within CCC, the game's frame rates are virtually not affected. It's just the water quality is not what I expected as like in BF2 or FarCry, is that a coding issue of Call of Duty World at War? When I ran 3DMark 06, water are so realistically rendered...any clue
Anyhow, this card really shines!
