nVidia SLI score

[D_o_S]

Hi everyone!

I just put my SLI system together and I'm currently getting 15.5K in 3D Mark 03. I am running 256 MB of memory - now is this the cause or is there something else? Or is this score right? The whole system is:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1x 256 MB DDR266 RAM (waiting for my OCZ)
WD HDD
2x Gainward GeForce 6800 Ultra

Thanks for your help. Everything is at stock.

You should get much more. I hope it's because of your RAM.

I get 20k totally stock with my 3200+ and 1gb mushkin memory only running @ 129mhz because it is defective and 2 EVGA 6800 ultras. I would expect 21k stock for your system.

You should be right around 20k for your set up. Here's a good link to they type of results you should be seeing.

Likely your RAM holding you back. What mobo?

Oh, and I've only installed the following:

Network Driver
Service Pack 2
Chipset driver
Graphics Driver
3D Mark 03
Audigy driver

it looks like your sli isnt working and only 1 card is doing the work :(

[D_o_S]

No, I get the green line thing, and I can see the load spreading. With one card I get 12+K.

[LenniZ]

Its the memory.. get more and you will see 20k++

Or just reinstall the drivers. The nForce 6.39 is a good one and for the both cards the ForceWare 71.90.

Now that goes to teach me, what playing around with the BIOS can do. (must have had some wrong settings, set everything to Auto and off we go ! :P)
