MadDogMcQ Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Don't know about you, but I just love those fancy Demos which show off the capabilities of your graphics cards. One of my faves was the "HEAVEN 1.0" demo from Unigine. I run it at 1920x1080 with everything maxed out and DX11 - it looks amazing! If you haven't seen it, download it and see how you fare. Mind you, Unigine have much more up to date demos available now. I'm just in the process of downloading HEAVEN V2.1. Update: Got the 2.1 demo.....

Blaze Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 OH yeah, Heaven demo was one of my favorites, I'd just let it run over and over again. :) i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

MadDogMcQ Posted October 29, 2010 Author Posted October 29, 2010 Hey Blaze, did you add the second video card straight away or did you install both at once? Reason I ask, is that I wanted to know what difference you noticed having the two cards in Crossfire Mode as opposed to a single card in there.

MadDogMcQ Posted October 29, 2010 Author Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks for that. Was just reading a review on two HD5870's in crossfire and they said that whilst performance was pretty blistering, so too was the temperature inside the case! Think I might leave it for now, since I have no real performance issues in DCS:A-10C.

topdog Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Note that the Heaven demo is almost deliberately biased to showcase a tessellation overdose. So a card that doesn't perform well with the heaven demo compared to another card, isn't indicative of 'real world performance'.
