regards

*sigh* Not only was the powerplay bug not fixed with my cards, 9.5 now starts with BOTH cards at full speed under Vista.

Hello,
I am running 2 asus 4870x2 cards on driver 8.6 with no issues, would you update to the new drivers or stay with the ones that are working ok ?

I would update to the newest drivers. They have a page with previous versions so if you dont like the new CCC version you could uninstall it then reinstall the 8.6 version.

I tend to update to new drivers as a lot of the time, newer drivers do yield a bit of a performance increase in games.

Ok, update it is.

I am unsure as to the exact problems you are having. I have the sapphire 3870x2, sold one off cause needed the money more then the xfire. What I found worked best was to completely uninstall all ATI software then use the custom install each time I updated versions. If you try a clean install then that might help clear up some of what ever problem you have. Keep in mind that the fan speed option will not work on the card as there was some sort of flash problem that requires a reflashing of the card, I DO NOT recommend doing that! Use Riva Tuner to adjust the fan speed. With the custom install it allows you more control over what will actually be done so you can avoid conflicts from program errors. This may not be the correct place to list the problems for the 3870x2 but as you posted you had some issues I felt it would be ok to reply here.

Thanks for respons Techymike. the 9.5 work's here now ,hehe, but the problems in gaming stay the same ,still lots of lag on this card ,think this card is made to play pacman or somthing likely. btw, the big problems i had was with the versions 9.2 till 9.4. vers 9.5 likes to work oke for now. is tere a posebility that the mainboard (asus maximus extreme) geve me some lag problems in the game ??

I am not fond of ASUS MB's, I have had better luck with Gigabyte, but that is just me. The games you prefer are they Nvidia or ATI design? Have you tweaked the 3870 to the game and tuned the games to optimal selections? I do not game much as my system is mainly for video use. I am very happy that you have it all worked out and the card is somewhat working for you.
