icebob Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm a little confused about how are multi gpu classified. If you sumbit a score with let's say, a 5970 (2 cores) and a 5870 (1 core) how do you classify that? 3 5870, 2 5970 or 2 5870? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Christian Ney Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 2 x 5970 imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I disagree personally, core for core 5870 is the more powerful card, and there are only three cores where 2x5970 would be four. That's just me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) yeah the gpu of the 5870 is mire powerful than a gpu of the 5970, but as at the moment hwbot doesn t support multi mixed gpu the rule is to submite with X x best card. X is the number of physical graphic cards. And here the best card is the 5970. But yeah logically he can submite as 3 x 5870 but the 5870 has to be the main card(the card plugged to the monitor). For a 3 x GPU result. Now I dont know if it perform better than 3 physical 5870, if no maybe he can, if yes NO. Now we have to wait for Massman advice. And BTW, does ATI drivers support those cards mixed in crossfire ? I have a blackout Edited February 4, 2011 by Christian Ney powerest doesnt exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 3x 5870 is most logical. In the past, this kind of setup was considered as 2x 5970 because the HWBOINT algorithm was based on #cards, not #cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) thx Massman, But as the 5870 be the main card ?(the one plugged to the monitor) ? cause I know that is some 3D bench a dual gpu card perform better than 2 x a single card.(same gpu for all of them).

icebob Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 So that submission: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/2117961_vanovich_unigine_heaven___xtreme_preset_dx11_2x_radeon_hd_5870_2190.16_dx11_marks should be in the 3x 5870 category right?
