2x XFX 6800GT + Asus A8N-E = >22k

2 day old system build with parts bought off oc-rookie thanks mate! :)

3500+ 90nm @ 11x 233mhz = 2564mhz
A8N-E Deluxe with 1003.05 bios
2x 512MB OCZ PC3700EB Singles @ 233mhz 3-2-2-8 1T
580W Topower 6P686 Adjustable rail psu 35A/12v single rail

2x XFX 6800GT PCI-E stock heatsink and fluffy ram pads

Funny bios thinking my cpu was @ 4829mhz LOL

.

congrats Eva2000, that is awesome. Keep going!

Very Nice :toast:

good scores eva ;)

wow nice scores!

thats awesome score for such low card clocks

idd, keep pushing them ! I assume your not at your limit already eh ;)

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.

kv8 pro has the same 1T over 240 prob

starting to get the hang of A8N-E SLI

@ 350/1000 stock speeds = 20,007
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3638419 :D

What sort of tweaks have you done :) :toast:

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
2640mhz
10x264 2.5-3-3-7 1T = 22,101

wow great stuff, makes me think about going sli with 2 6800gt's, think i'll stay away from the asus mobo tho

nice work

Finally with 1004.01 flashed bios for A8N-E Deluxe done using asusupdate instead of awdflash the fixed LDT multiplier issue has really opened up my SLI system :)

Benchmarks done in 31-31.5C room temps lol

3500+ 90nm @ 11x 250 = 2755mhz

First the cpu

So far can do SuperPI 32M

working at it but past day 32+ C room temps and humid as hell :(

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 ;)

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:

Perkam

yeah he'd probably blow them up lol

stock cpu and card (whole system) power consumption report

3dmark2003 run with cards at stock 350/1000

GT1-GT4 max = 424W
cpu tests = 346-355W

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!
