Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Radeons and Dual Client

Anyone have a card that will run more than one instance of AC on a Radeon card?
I have dual 8800 GTXs that can run many clients at once, but I'm building a secondary system that I want to put a newer radeon card in.
I tried a 3850, but all I can get is one instance to actually work, so if you have a radeon card that does this, could you tell me what it is and how many clients you can run on it?
Many thanks for the info!

I've run 3 client's at once on my Diamond Stealth X1550. It's an AGP based card as I have a somewhat older system atm, but I doubt the bus would make a difference. I've done so on both Win 2000 and XP (as well as running multiple clients on older ATI based cards as old as a ALL In Wonder 9000). I actually went with ATI over Nvidia to avoid the skybox glitch.

The skybox bug is really annoying, but i bought the cards when they were released before the bug was known.
I like the way Radeons look, especially in AC, it is a subtle difference, but anyway.
With the 3850, I thought it would have plenty of power, but on the same system with the 8800's where I can log in up to six clients, when I run the second client,the first one completely blacks out and is unrecoverable. Just wanted to see what others were using that did work. I don't have system with AGP, although I could probably find that chip on a nice cheap card somewhere today.
Thanks again.

I suspect but cannot prove that the higher-newer version using PCI-E should work fine. They also use a Unified Driver similiar to Nvidia's so it's not super likely there'd be issues.

I have an old 9800pro 256MB AGP radeon that doesn't have problems running 2 clients (no idea how many more it could run). I do lose one of the clients to a black screen once in a while, but it's not common. Of course I'm sure that doesn't help you at all lol.
