Re: ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series and DirectX 10.1 Ping Pong Dem

ATi's Ping Pong DirectX10.1 Demo running on a single HD3870 on Vista Ultimate.
Even though you will see that framerates are "low" (avg25), it really runs smoothly!!
(All enabled in catalyst and at maximum)
Song1: Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
Song2: David Grey - Sail Away

anyone know if it would hurt this video card to run at 183 degree fahrenheit?

[Hrakleus]

@mclane345 I don't have this card anymore now I use 6950 but if I remember it was normal to get REALLY hot for 3870 although you can turn up the fan from ati catalyst that will make it run like 40 Celsius....

BTW I now have a vapor-x 4890 1GB and judging from games this demo will play like super mario.

[ElboTheHedgehog]

Do you need to download Vista SP1 for this?

[Hrakleus]

@ElboTheHedgehog yes

[RinoXX]

You can easily Download in in the HD3000 Section on the ATI HomePage (Google: AMD PING POING Download).

I've tryed it on a HD3870 from Sapphire, a E8200 Intel C2D and 4 Gigabyte Ram. Same Setting BUT with 8000 instead of 2000 Balls.

Runs great @30 Frames.

[Hrakleus]

You're right... (I thought he was talking about directX10.1 and Service Pack1)

P.S. It lags like S**T with 10000 balls (due to physics) if you see later on the video but anyway...

[mclane345]

@Hrakleus k thanks

[sergi5122]

nwa its not physycs, you can tell.. the balls were still on the ground, and tehre were nothing to calculate at that time.. and framerate dropped as soon as u looked at them. 38-- in crossfire, or a single 48-- would rape that demo :D

[Hrakleus]

Well that's a LOOOOOOOONG story...(It's not worth it believe me)

PLUS the only use of DirectX10.1 for now is running ATi's Ping Pong Demo....
