cant wait! Let us know when you get your cards as well. What PSU are you going to run? I ordered the silverstone decathalon DA1000 when i ordered the cards this morning, hopefully it should work. It rated at 80amps on the 12v rail so i dont see why it shouldnt.

MIAHALLEN · Jan 29, 2009

That's a great choice! The Silverstones seem to be the way to go these days...
How do you like the board & chip?

Badbonji · Jan 30, 2009

Hey it says windows vista? Is windows 7 fine as it uses all vista drivers or should I install that again : \

Automiketic · Jan 30, 2009

Acceptable Operating Systems: Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, 2008 or Vista and all variants of each (32-bit/64-bit, home/pro/ultimate, etc.)

im guessing that means no windows 7. ask deanzo to be sure.

When will this kick off? how do I join?

Deanzo · Feb 3, 2009

It starts this weekend, over the two weeks there after it's for posting stock scores.

Then it's time to post overclocked scores the two weeks after that.

Before the weekend I'll post a "how to post a score" in this thread, and put a link to where they needed to be posted.

We get everyone to post stock scores so...
1: We know for real who will take part, some say they will and we never see them again. But if they post a stock score you almost always see an overclocked score from them.
2: Locks in what hardware they are using.
3: But posting a stock score we know they know how to post an overclock score (whats needed in the screen shot etc etc) and they then can't say they didn't know.

But it's all very easy, and there are many here to help.

Alright cool... Now this is really making want to go out and by a 4870x2

It made me actually buy a 4870x2, so don't feel bad, lol.

Aw, sad panda. Well, at least if, as I remember, Vista is necessary to make my 4870x2 run to its full potential, if not eff it I'll run XP as always.

And as a general note to echo the sentiments of other posters, FW is a blast every time, and we win A LOT. I think we've won every time I've had the honor of playing on our team. I'm psyched to make a contribution again now that I've got some competitive video.

That's a perfect fit for the E class...if you are on air cooling, and as long as you have a desire to push you stuff to the limit and learn a lot :beer:

That's right Mike, we've won the last three Forum Warz...HANDS DOWN

No, your score should be better in XP for the gaming tests...if you were running 2x 4870x2...then you need Vista. :beer:

Time to get the box fan in the window and fire up the delta then. Serious noise pollution.

Gonna go do some researches then.
