price is what people are prepared to pay

For example, I will never ever again buy nForce based board as long as NVIDIA is having monopol on SLI on motherboards and same goes for GeForces. 300+€ for motherboard that is only good for running SLI, you must be joking...

And same goes for every one of you! If you all run into stores and buy new 790i board for 360€, 890i will be 450€.

Erm...you did see the 600+ FSB and spanking3DMark scores on the previous pages, right?

All evidence is that this chipset isn't "only good for SLi", it's one of the best SocketT boards yet.

I haven't seen 650+ FSB and I have seen it on 100€ Intel based board released in 2006 and I am quite confident that 2D, 3D Single card and non QX benching will stay on Intel based boards.

These spanking 3D Mark scores that you lately saw with 790i, isn't only about the brand new n-Vidia chipset ... It's about sth else :mad: ... SKILLS ! Don't you think that Vince has the appropriate skills so that he crushes a 3D Mark WR ?

600MHz FSB ? ... hmm yes we 've seen that again with commando, P5B Deluxe etc etc ...

680i, 780i, 790i all of them are very good chipsets ... ;) And I really mean it ... :up: But on the other side of the coin, why do I have to pay an exorbitantly overpriced board so that I'm restricted in SLi ? Because the best 2D benching is an outcome of Intel chipsets ... :yepp:

So, plz don't be a fanboy ...

Never said it wasn't mate. But you can't deny that you need the hardware as well - you can't pull a WR out of a s478 Dell beige box.

Again, never said that we haven't. I'm merely pointing out that there is no reason to dismiss this chipset just because it's an nVidia offering. They've come to the party, and now they need some recognition.

Now that, I will concede. They are expensive.

Read my post. Read the post I replied to. I'm not an nVidia fanboi for pointing out that it is wrong to dismiss the 790i as "only good for SLi".

Bottom line - I couldn't care less if this was an Intel, AMD or VIA chipset - gross generalisations and off-hand dismissals help noone and nothing.

you have to look it at different perspective. for ex.:

1st
You don't have a lot of money for comp stuff and like every smart person you won't buy two card system and you want the best performance for 2D and 3D and best overclockability. Any nForce board it at the very end of my list.

2nd
You have a little more money so two card system is an option so now you have to choose betwen CrossFire or SLI, you can't have both cause we are not $ loaded yet. If you choose CF, you'll have Intel based board that rocks 2D benching and not so bad at 3D. 3DMark01 sux, but 03, 05 and 06 are in pair with SLI. If you choose SLI you can forget 2D benching or Single Card benching but you'll have some decent results in 3D.
And there are some other things to consider, SLI costs much much more, you'll have constant headaches when overclocking, you'll have to give but loads of $ for graphic cards and now days 3D records are divided into graphic card models, vendors, single, multiple, so it's not really that important what you're benching as long as it's top benching :D.

So now we come to loaded, millionaire category, where you can just buy everything you want, so there is really no need for reasons.

I can't believe people are complaining about the cost of SLI

Check out this page

http://www.zenperformance.co.uk/p/pr...gement-sensors

and more specifically the

ESL Live Board
Subaru Impreza MY92-96

£550 for that sort of board which seems to be from 1980.

Good job you guys are not tuning cars.

Strikers are always expensive as hell, I would bet the msrp of the evga is lower.

Who knows, maybe we'll start seeing single video card records on NVIDIA chipset finally....would that change your tune ZBORG? :shrug:

depends on who makes them, if you not really

but if you do a Spi 1M or 32M WR, now that would be something

not really, It's not really a fair game if someone has unlimited supply of graphic cards AND 2 or more month before everyone else

send my friend Moonman a couple of your cards and we'll see if you will be able to beat him and his 100€ P5K

But theres also the question of heat, will any overclocker be forced straight into water/LN2?

Which cards? ULTRA? GTS? Does it matter? This thread is about 790iSLI the motherboard, not graphics cards. Why should I send your friend any of my cards? I have every good P5K board made here with me not to mention X38.
Your preaching to the choir dude, every single card score I have ever made has pretty much been on INTEL chipset lol.

Question of heat on what? MOBO? This motherboards NB/SB is CRAZY cool compared to 680i boards. You could burn your fingers on striker 680i SB I swear it ran so damn hot. Even the 780i board put out a good ammount of heat on NB, but this mobo is very different. Running 450+ on quad 2006 is nowhere near same heat output. That was the first thing I noticed when I fired it up...BIG DIFFERENCE.

well It was more of a joke that everything else and yes, we are talking about790i motherboard and I was comparing it to 100€ P5K which is probably still beter in many many ways

heh mm.
Honestly I kinda understand his/that logic based on precedent set with "some" past chipsets. Haven't done any direct comparisons in 3d or pi with intel chipset, so I can't sit here and say one thing or another
This thread is about the performance in SLI I'm seeing with the higher FSB capabilities of this chipset + DDR3 using current generation video cards on AIR(GTS's). Compared to what I was doing before..It's nice :D.
There is a reason why I'm using GTS as it makes it more clear for guys with older boards/same cards. No next gen cards for smoke and mirrors. It's all the board.
First full LN2 runs this week will be with ULTRA's....now how old are those cards?
03-09-2008, 09:35 AM
zbogorgon

Like nobody tested 790i Ultra SLI motherboard in Superpi at 5700MHz, 600FSB, 1000MHz DDR3 already?
And I got Asus Striker II Formula last week and some things just don't change.

and for me 8800 Ultra is as much graphic card as Enzo Ferrari is road car :D

p.s. I really think that there is as much Enzos in my country as there are Ultras

I promise you 1000%, that this mobo is no stryker2 formula. I tested the hell out of that mobo and no doubt came to the same conclusion as you man :D
(GOD BLESS ASUS if they are watching though as they make some fine motherboards too :up: )

As for superpi, need to run it myself before making any conclusions about performance there.

It's rare for me to make a post like this, but your disrespectful attitude is beyond unacceptable. It seems like you're just bitter about something and crapping on k|ngp|n's and dinos' work. We know what you've accomplished, but you should know better than to come in talking down to everyone like this. It's so ridiculous that I can't even believe what I'm reading.

And for the record, dinos' 1M time is actually very much on the efficient side for a Wolfdale (cannot use an older BIOS). Just compare the efficiency to Team Japan's results and you'll see they're very much on par.
03-09-2008, 01:52 PM
dinos22

i'm not bragging
i am just telling you there clearly is a lot of difference between the Asus board and reference

PP on 1M is fine and comparable to full support Wolfdale bioses of P35/X38 boards
1M PP on previous boards was just as good as any intel as well but it could not clock fsb very well

i personally wouldn't buy this board to bench superpi. i would rather spend $100 on a cheap P35 asus or gigabyte board and bench superpi myself :shrug:

you missread me then, it is not my intent to be disrespectful, but I see a lot of praising and advertisment of this 790i Ultra SLI motherboard and I would really want to understand why and so far, despite all the comments I have been able to find, it's just another nForce-based board, expensive. Okey, it goes 600FSB, but nowdays which board doesn't ?

And those Pro Team Japans results are made on almost 2 years old board that goes 650 FSB and cost 100€. Hey if you get me one of 790i's for 150€, it's a damm good board :D.

and little more comparison, E8500 on 100€ DDR2 board, P5K

and here it's mine, QX9770, same frequency, 407 FSB, DDR2, sub 8s, a €170 board, with dual 16x PCI-E

This is all I wanted to say, in any other aspect it's nothing special, probably inferior to any decent X38 board, except it runs SLI and that's what it supposed to be special ? It's supposed to be worth 300€? Maybe, but not for me and since the SLI monopol, I am saying it's just another rip off!

Which board doesn't?

X48 doesn't. X38 doesn't. P35 doesn't. (Not with 45nm at least which is all that matters today) You can't run a CF rig at 600MHz FSB, but it appears that an SLi rig might be doable. It's amazing seeing Team Japan pushing the envelope with 965, but these days, the high end market consists of multiple cards and DDR3, nothing that that old setup could handle.

You wouldn't buy this board. Point taken already. And your SuperPi is not an E8500. It's a QX9770 that's obviously running an older BIOS, shaving .2 secs off the time. Pop a Wolfdale in your board and see how high you can clock it and what Pi time you get.

I have shown you that P5K can do 600FSB, so does P965, here is mine X38 at 601FPS, I had 615 and I am quite sure it will go more, I just need CPU that goes, X48 will go 650, kiwi had Foxconn at 620, remember ?

Why does it mater which bios I use, it's normal to use the fastest, and here is my result with E8500, lower frequency, but it's better perf. rating.

OK now you are being ignorant i'm sorry to say

it matters because there are full support and semi support bios files

FIRST POINT.
now the bios you showed is a non-full support bios which is buggy and it has stock 45.5K PP and tweaked 45K or if you are very good sub 45K

i can show you sub 45K on a non-supported bios but that is not a fair comparison as it is a buggy bios as it is your result above.

Install the latest bios and show us your efficiency then mate. do you want to bet what it will be ;)

SECOND POINT.
my runs were done as a straight boot from bios at 600MHz FSB. i only set main timings and frequency for RAM in bios > 8-7-6-20 1T. I did not touch subtimings. I did not have a new version of memset which is coming that will allow me to tweak the RAM nor was i trying to be FAST FFS. It was only an indicative run to share with people here how easy it is to do 600Mhz FSB and believe me i don't think you will need a special CPU for it either.

with fully tweaked system and all the RAM timings set for best SuperPi this mobo will do same 1M as any good intel

THIRD POINT.
your second point about high FSB is ignorant as well >> WHY?

you did not test a reference 790i board and you are making conclusions in a thread about reference boards rather than third party ones. you have a "lucky" Intel based board which can do that FSB. Ask team Japan if you don't agree with me. You know very well as everyone else does on this forum that it is not very easy finding a board in P35/X38/X48 that can do such high FSB with Wolfdale. It is almost impossible and only a small few P5K boards and an odd other has been able to do this so far. P965 boards have had higher FSB to newer gen but they are also spotty and not all do that even in C2 revison. i can show you examples of C2 boards that have issues or are no different to other boards including my good friend's one > eva2000. The other problem with them is the 1x PCI Express issue so you will have to be lucky to wreste the board into wanting to run at full bandwidth to run 3D runs. Third issue you have is pmem tweaks don't always work very well. Once you try to tighen them the board gives up a lot of FSB. Ask NewBeetle-san how much FSB he lost while trying to improve memory performance through pmem? i had a gem board myself which allowed for tight pmem settings but could not break 600FSB and was spotty at 600 as well.....595 was easier.

let me tell you something mate. get ahold of a reference 790i and buy 10xCPUs (wolfdales) and then test them on the 790i and then on normal P35/X38/X48. i know you guys have plenty of boards to choose from. I am very confident that on average the 790i will absolutely smash them in FSB as per current boards and bioses.

i have lots of motherboards in all ranges that i can test and from my couple of week 40 E8500 i could not go past 530 stable FSB on water >> stuck it in the 790i and i am doing 575MHz stable FSB for 32M Spi. This is no joke mate. 790i is that good

i know that nvidia sent me boards in the past which were really no different to your average joe bloe retail board so i have no reason to believe other will be able to replicate my results. :)

Don't drag my name into your stupid polemics. :rolleyes:

sorry for the OT KP :shrug:

dinoss22, I am so sorry, it must be just this day, my mind is not as it supposed to be...

QX9770 result was done with official 1.1 bios, E8500 result was done with official 1.2 bios, I don't know about FULL support :clap: , will have to check with Abit on that :rofl:

This P5K i showed you, It's only P5K board my friend had in his hands, I had one, did 600FSB, only P5K board I had. About mine X38, only X38 board I had, does 600FSB, I don't know, we must be really really luck then, i don't know...

mine QX9770 result was done completely without accessing bios, so what, MemSet "what is that" doesn't work on that mobo.

"I am very confident that on average the 790i will absolutely smash them in FSB " that's a very bold statement, before any Retail board has been seen. It wouldn't be the first time that manufacturer sends his best products to reviews and tests.

And I somehow doubt that we will see wolfdales WRs on nforce board.

p.s. and here is sth that your Team.AU can aim for, now that you have 790i board :P

I don't mind the off topics guys, it's all good. We certainly don't downplay the importance of 01 in benching around here though do we??...this is XS :up:

113.5k + 2001 SLI with two 8800 ULTRA's on some pretty low air clocks.
For sub 5800mhz and ULTRA'S on air, this is an AWESOME score :D

2 cores actually on this 01, but I think it is the same with 4 at this speed for dual core bench.
LOD 4.9 is perfect for these cards on nature.
Full LN2 benching starts this week, 2001/2006 benching starts today with ultras, then GTS's later in the week before something(s) completely new for launch. Any bets on the 2001 with this system power and 1020/2500/1224 on the ULTRA's?? I think it will crush the current highest "backup" which is 117k+ :D

Pedro my friend, I think you will like 790iSLI in your favorite game VERY VERY MUCH :D. I think your 5700mhz ES will do quite well on there.

Absolutely not MM....LOD 4.9 only for nature and lower values for other tests.

I think 120k is 120% possible. It's not if, but when. I will bench for it. Spent most of todays LN2 session on 01, but I got a peek with what little nitrogen I had left at whats coming in 2006 with the gts and all I can say is WOW!!.....Tommorrow :D. Could two GTS's actually take down 32k???.........:D
Here is a nice one with only 5700mhz and some of the lowest card clocks I think I have ever run in 2001 with ultra's(this run)

GTS look REALLY good in 2006 with this mobo. ULTRA's were under 950mhz core for that run. I think you will love this setup man :D

these 3870x2 cards are bad.. getting sick of them.. vreg is ALL over the place.

I NEED some nvidia cards :D

I can feel the hunger for 01 benching now.. My cpu does about 5750Mhz in 01 with 2 cores enabled, but no more than 5500mhz in 06 with 4.. :(

No point in using this 780i board, ddr3 is here to stay.. hopefully I will try 01 benching next week with my blackops and 88U.. singelcard fight? :D

I really like the CORSAIR 1800C7's on this mobo. With just 2.0v they do quite nicely.

Getting closer...be cool to nail it for launch :D. GTS's are not bad in 2K1 though! Good CL's makes up some for the booty natures. Around 1070/2700/1060 on this one. Still trying to squeeze more out on system end.
http://www.overclockingpin.com/120k.jpg

Only 06 I ran was mid 30.2K with 5690mhz/ 1013/2600/1060 lol. Pretty silly for the clocks and I think the rig throttled the hdr scores. 240L on the way :D

Holy Shift:slobber: the GTS realy do have 3d01 potential. better nature also than i thought :)

That's just scary. :shocked: :clap:

120K is just around the corner.

If you can get more out of the GTS's mem 120K will be done.

Did you try the inverse Vmod for the mem to lower Vmem?

Sometimes this helps to get better memoryclock.

Good luck on 120K. ;)

Its 58-5940 3d chip depends on what bench and mobo.

Cards aren't maxed out guys. Both gts's been through full 06 runs at 1140/2900/1132 single card for me about -125c seems to be the limit for one at least so I may have to run both there together.
