Received my Saphire 5870 yesterday so took the 4870X2 out and ran Driver sweeper installed my new toy and boy what a disappointment this thing has been thus far...First I ran Vantage just out of curiosity and almost fell off my chair when I saw that 11440 score, was hitting 16000+ with my 4870X2,not that I care much about 3D Mark Vantage but I was getting rather nervous...
Fired up Farcry 2, I used to play with every game settings maxed out and 4X anti-aliasing with my 4870X2, I had to bring anti-aliasing down to 2X just to avoid those annoying sub 40 FPS wich make this game run pretty poorly in my opinion.At that point I knew I had try those MSI drivers, ran driver sweeper once again, installed MSI drivers and gained absolutely nothing. I then tried Stalker Clear Skies to see how it would run, had to take off anti-aliasing entirely just to get the game to run like it did with my 4870X2, wich pissed me off immensely...
Ran Crysis and it was about 10-15% slower than my 4870X2 is in that game, not impressed once again.
My display is a 22 inch so it`s not like I am trying to run this card at extremely high resolutions but so far I am extremely disappointed and dont know what to do with this thing anymore, my 4870X2 just rapes it in every game so far.
