MSI Afterburner Beta Radeon HD 6850 Crossfire 1200p

There are too many retards making videos of these with cameras instead of through programs. This is a slap to their face that MSI Afterburner does not affect FPS when recording video.

1920x1200 DX11 Normal Tessellation 4xAA
(Apparently with Extreme and 8xAA, I get the same FPS due to some sort of bottleneck or driver issue)

if you turn off the msi fraps ..you will get beter frames......it lags some game out......F9 to start the bench

@conover2006 I suppose it could if you had a crappy processor, but no, it works fine, only issues are with crossfire implementation and my motherboards restricted PCIE bandwidth at the time, if which I no longer have crossfire and now own a Sabertooth 990FX, single GPU is just fine to run all of today's games fine, although Shogun 2 could use a faster GPU than 6850 when it has to render 20,000+ men at the same time in HD.

is that microstutter @ 1:18 or is that just a low frame rate?

I'm asking because I may get 2 x 6850s or 6870s.

The thing is my PSU can only have a maximum of 2 PCI express 6 pin cables plugged into it at any one time (Coolermaster Silent Pro 700 Watts)

@Edge0fPain It was an issue of the recording software not picking up every frame plus a side of low fps because Crossfire at the time was poor, only around 55% of each GPU was utilized. If you only have two 6-pin cables you will only be able to do two 6850's. But you may be somewhat better with spending on something like a 6950 and BIOS modding it to a 6970 or waiting for the new HD 7xxx series in the next two months. As always has been the case, some games have Crossfire/SLI issues.

@mmstick

Meh, two 6850s outspeed a 6950 :/

[mmstick]

@Edge0fPain Maybe so in raw power, but would you say that for the huge portion of games that do not support Crossfire? I had many games that had negative FPS or never utilized Crossfire to even make a difference, even games officially supported in Crossfire profiles. When it comes to actually getting more FPS, a 6950 will overcome two 6850s in a huge portion of games unsupported in Crossfire. The only games that did scale were a couple major releases like Battlefield

What game is this? o_o;

@conover2006 I'm afraid the p in 1200p means progressive. being 1200 pixels wide and progressive, it is therefore 1200p. You can't be racist against the aspect ratio for being WUXGA. I don't think the average person is going to understand what WUXGA means, 1200p is the sweetest and mostly simplest form of saying 1920x1200.

[conover2006]

its not 1200p DU 1920x1200...does not mean 1200p DU
