That's the "streaming stores" in my post. Or to be correct, it's a MOVNTPS instruction using the _mm_stream_ps() intrinsic, which is the SSE equivalent of MOVNTQ instruction in MMX.

Have you try the MOVNTQ instruction ?
If i remember, you can have real gain in SSE, on some test few year ago i gained a factor of 2 on some VDub rescale filters.

Heh, I don't think it was Linux that killed it. It died during some DX11 experiments I did.

�Oddly enough, the release notes for the Linux drivers still say that the HD 3870x2 is not supported, although clearly it worked for me now, so I suppose this is just a documentation error.�

Still sure about that one?

"if they had a better price/performance or better feature set"

Doesn't that depend on what your doing with it, i generally find nvidia boards gets newer features first, also the drivers tend to expose it way earlier, especially for openGL.
though personally i would wait until next fall to update as their 300 series is on the way and it's supposed to be pretty good.

Well, it was an engineering sample. I got it from an old friend at AMD. I had to upgrade the BIOS when I got it too to be able to use it, but once that was done it has worked just fine. I've been tormenting it a bit with my code though.

icastano,
well, I have a GF 6600 in the box now until I get a replacement card. Unfortunately it can't drive my 30" screen at its native resolution, so I'm in a double-pixel mode and everything is very large. Buying Nvidia would be an option if they had a better price/performance or better feature set. Currently AMD wins both of those. It happens that Nvidia has the better feature set, but I rarely see Nvidia beating AMD at price/performance.

Isn't 1.2 years a short time for card.
I suppose you are using it on the limits :>
Or maybe it is overheating.Is it on standard cooling?
