Today On The Healing Bench (or rather my test bench): An HD 4850 X2

[iamdarkyoshi]

So here is my derpy test bench with said videocard

 

And I went to boot it up, fans are the loudest freaking fans I have ever seen. It worked, but as soon as I went to reboot it after (not) installing Catalyst Control Center, the PC crashed. Booted it back up and its artifacting all over. Guess we all know what this means!

 

 

No, not quite. But heat will be involved. Stay subscribed for updates. First I have to disinfect it, its has some smoker's shmoo in it

Update: It works! Sorta. 

 

If I run unengine heaven fullscreen 1080p, it artifacts really badly. Like I get weird overlays of the same image all over the screen. It looked a lot like an old TV what would not sync to the analog signal, but this is obviously digital...

 

Running 1600x900 it seems to have no issues though. Damn thing is LOUD.
