well cards are stock virgin heatsink, stock paste and stock fluffy ram pads so guess there's room

cpu can do 2755mhz but figuring out this 1T >@240 restriction for A8N-E right now

Cant wait for some more results.
When are going to put them on water.
Raise the limit.

dump the high latency 2.5-3-3-7 1T stuff and use the nice BH-5 2-2-2-6 1T stuff :D

loose timings doesn't help much in 3dmarks I guess

3d2k3

@405/1150
2564mhz
11x233 3-2-2-8 1T = 22,135

@403/1155

10x264 2.5-3-3-7 1T = 22,101

Eva2000, i know Nvidia 6 series cards don't do well in 2001 but does SLI improve 2001 scores at all? I haven't seen any results that's why i'm asking. Thanks ;)

eva2000

01-29-2005, 12:59 PM

i belive it does give a slight boost in particular nature

i had SLI load bar enabled and see it use both GPUS in some sections of tests

only did a quick 3d2k1 score 3500+ @ 11x218 = 2400mhz with 6800GT PCI-Es @ 400/1100

= 26,689

Nature is flying, that 400/1100 score is only 2fps behind OPP's best run with ATI.
I'm hoping you're liking real in game performance with those. I can imagine they do great overall at very high resolutions.

oh didn't pay attention to the exact nature fps hehe

Makes you think then what OPP would do with 2x6800 Ultras :eek: :eek: :eek:

weird stuff happening now... wanting to get an approved ORB score i ghost imaged my OS to no driver state and installed 66.93 drivers and now

1. nvidia panel has my GPU and ambient temps mixed up, GPU shows 40C and ambient shows 60-65C idle lol But ntune shows correct GPU temps

2. the SLI bar when enabled in 71.24 split vertical bar in middle and when up and down in that bar, but 66.93 the horizontal line is the one that moves and vertical bar is just full green filled color ?

3. 3d2k3 score when SLI enabled is lower i.e. stock cpu with card at 395/1000 = 3d2k3 of 15,350!
