What version of nTune did u use on that ? and was it 64bit Vista OS ?
The clocking looks pretty decent. With some nailed on cooler would do a fair bit more.
Still doesn`t budge me tho atm. nVidia will have to bank on my current card going south, then I`d get one as the fastest single slot available from them atm.
Would indeed be mouth watering vS 48xx range testing. I have a feeling AMD/Ati are going to wipe the floor with pricing.

It was the latest from the normal nvidia site mate. Not sure what version, but I can check later if needed.
OS was Vista 32Bit SP1

From what I've heard "around", the 4870 will be able to turn out some decent numbers but not enough to give NV anything to worry about. The 4870x2 however should obliterate all.
...that is until NV decide to make a 280 GX2 which would clean up yet again.

to be honest my experience with nvidia hasnt been that great!
i had a 8800gtx had its replaced Twice
ive had the 9800 gx2 for less then a month and it has been replaced already
blue screens and high temps are some of the things that come free with nvidia cards lol
i like ATI but they have been one step behind hopefully with this card ATI will shine

Reason I ask was the last time I installed Vista on my gaming pc, somewhere along the line I had to use rivatuner.. don`t remember totally why, but I know I used to use nTune and found it ok.
I have to reinstall either today or 2morrow and would prefer to use nTune.
Well, i've cancelled the order for my GX2 SSC and i'm going to bite the bullet and get 2x 280 GTX. May as well take full advantage of the 790i and go with a proper sli setup. Am i right in thinking it would be a waste of £££ getting a factory oc'd gpu's and that i'd be better off getting stock ones and clocking them myself?
Ive seen loads of reviews and i agree with what somebody said. I believe newer games and updated drivers will take advantage of this monster. I think this because looking at Vantage scores with single, SLI, and Tri-SLI it ranks supreme over even the GX2. Im also firmly believing (By seeing many different reviews) that this card is being held back by CPU.
With that being said, how well do you think one of these would perform on my 939 system if say i had availibility to 4gig DDR500, x64 Ultimate, and an Opty 175 thats reached 3.1ghz on air? (Serious question guys)
Looking forward to the reivew of the ATI lineup as well.
