i Know BFG and Zotac comes with 8 pin adapter but for what i saw in XFX 9800GX2 reviews , the XFX cards dont have it , and if 9800GX2 realy need 6+8 that its Unacceptably from XFX !
regards
It is highly recommended to use an 8 pin PSU connector, because the 6>8 pin adapters do not pass UL and it could be a fire hazard.
K|ngp|n do you have an extension further separating the cards? If so where did you get it from?
Good job K|ngp|n! I'm still rockin' the not so popular 7950gx2 for my current rig. I love dual cards despite the inherent heat issues with air cooling. This is definitely a card for me to look into when I upgrade later. Hopefully quad SLI will get ironed out a lot better than it did with the 7950gx2. That's the only reason why I never got a second one.

Please accept my apologies for this turds lack of manners.

Thread cleaned, now back to the good stuff from these guys!:up:
Can't anyone bench on say a E8400? The only benches and reviews I ever see for these kind of cards are on the EE CPUs, which the majority of us can't afford :( I wonder how the scores would differentiate between a dual-core and an EE quad-core?
Very nice scores!! I love the way you cool the cards with that 1 tube. First time i have seen 2 GPU,s cooled by 1 container(?)
(stupid) question. How long is this card. My 8800GTX is "almost" to long to fit in my case. I want to upgrade to this card but, when the card is longer than a 8800GTX it is not going to fit!
Sorry for bad english!
In benches I'd say the differce would be pretty obvious, since the former benefit a lot from quad core CPUs ... ;)
As far as gaming is concerned though, things are a bit different ... :) Games usually (or should I say always ? :p:) use only 2 cores ... ;)
//EDIT: @Goofisch I think it's as long as the 8800GTX one ... 8800GTX ---> 26.6 cm, 9800GX2 ---> 26.7 cm (approximately the same ;)) ...
9800GX2 dimension : 26.7x 11.2x 3.8 cm ;)
Maybe a solution is to use an E(extended)ATX case like we use for the dual socket boards..Quote:

Gives you an extra 3 inches in the depth of the case..:up:
Except for 3dMark06 the scores will be the same if the CPU is at the same speedQuote:

Very nice kingpin... How is you Corsair 1000W PSU working for you with this setup?
Very good rig,is the HX1000 powering all the rig or does the graphics have a PSU just for them??
kingpin,
I am trying to enable quad sli in xp but it doesn't show up in the control panel. I also have two of these installed and have to remove the sli cable to get 3dmark 06 to run. What drivers are you using? I have 174.53 off the nvidia site.
what rendering modes will you be using during quad sli test while running 3dmark 06. I have tried the 173.67 in XP and get no quad sli selection. I talked with a buddy who got off the phone today and the tech at EVGA said no quad sli driver until next tuesday.
I have also tried 174.53 in XP and no dice for quad sli selection. Vista runs ok but I don't like the scores. I get something like 16606 for one card with overclocks of 740/1125. I'm at 3.6 ghz with a q6600. I also think that the quad sli isn't running in vista. You can select it, but the scores aren't much better than a single card.
I just got 16332 in XP with one card at gpu 735 memory 1125 and shader 1837
I have a 780i with memory running at 800 mhz. It looks like my scores are cpu limited. The 790i appears to be the ticket. I have on on step up. Can you recommend any ddr3 for about 300 or so?
Current drivers ( the public ones ) don't support SLI with 9800GX2s.
Also, I doubt there'll be a 9800GX2 SLI driver for Windows XP.
With 250-270$ you can grab a OCZ PC3-12800 or Patriot Viper PC3-12800 kit.
Both using Micron D9GTR/D9GTS chips ;)
Quad-SLi will only be available at Vista due to limitation on XP and the drivers aren't ready yet for quad-SLI so you won't see any improvements;)
Yes, It's disheartening when I tried quad sli in vista. I thought I paid too much as it wasn't much better than my two 7950 gx2. I am glad that it isn't running for my scores sake. Can't wait to get the new drivers.
Thanks for the info on the memory.
there is hope for one of these cards in XP.
last 3dmark 06 test with one card in xp was gpu 745/memory 1140/shader 1862 with driver 174.53 = 16421 @ 3.825 ghz.
that score seems very low manQuote:

yea that is low, my stock card almost gets 19k, on dual core.. which I was happy with until I read this post, lmao!!
Nice work bro
:)
cool :D
but i think maybe tri-sli 98gtx would be better for LN2.
ur new pot for gx2 is sexy :D
bench it already :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
:up: Very nice Benchconfig :up:
Go man Go! ! ! !
Congrats :up:
Vince whats the highest Vcore setting on the 790i?
I don't know about the rest of 790i boards, but Striker II Extreme can provide your cpu with 2.4 Volts ! ... :eek:
From Elmor's Asus Striker II Extreme thread, bios screen :

Definitely update to the new bios mate
and bump SPP and MCP all the way up and enable both P1 and P2 in bios
i will post some superpi results in my thread
BIG BIG BIG improvements ;) :up:
How big? :D

By the way, am I the only one who noticed Vince actually called the card a 98000GX2 ? (see thread title)
i don't care about 1M
proper performance is in 32M and that also translates well into 3D benching as well :up:
I get 16,365 w/ my 8800GTS-512 w/o v-mod & quad @ 3.8GHz.Quote:

Your scores look like you only have 1 GPU working.
It will be interesting to see how this scales against Hipro's numbers with dual HD3870X2 cards....which were on air during his run:
LINK
Also interesting how somehow the ATI cards suffer in the CPU Score department even though Hipro's CPU was clocked higher that the one we see in this thread.
IMO, it will be REALLY close between the HD3870X2 and the 9800GX2 once we see more HD3870X2 LN2 results.
Yes CF "damages" the CPU score,I wonder why is that?:confused:Quote:

Not sure about that. This can be tested easily by running it with one card installed then installing the second and running it again and checking the CPU score.Quote:

Does anyone know if there's going to be a 790i with DDR2 support? I really don't want Nvidia to leave 95% of us out in the cold for not having DDR3 :(
Since they already offer 780i, I seriously doubt it. I have not yet seen it etched in stone that it WILL NOT happen but so far, every manufacturer I have spoken with says no, no plans for anyone to do 790i + DDR2.Quote:

(Awesome numbers Vince! Grats!)
Yikes... I don't know if posting some nice benchmark numbers is worth running VISTA.
What do y'all think? I kinda want to try the GX2 out but somehow it seems like this will only be a good benching setup due to the 512 video ram situation. Any thoughts on this?
Right now I'm running 8800Ultras in SLI on a 30" monitor at 2560x1600. Do you think it'd be worth it running GX2's in SLI for gaming at that resolution?
I'm usually an impulse buyer with this kinda new stuff but this one seems so borderline its making me stop and think...
XP PRO SP2-32 and Vista Ultimate-64 (dual boot), but I do all my testing/benching in XP for now.Quote:

I ran a couple passes of 06 over lunch, got 19K with stock clocks on GX2, and QX9650 at 3.66. This was on a 780i however. Ran overclocked via Rivatuner 750/1140/1900 and got almost identical score, I obviously have some digging to do to find the catch. Nvidia control panel has no "set SLI" like with older cards, only multi-gpu or multi-monitor.
Is it possible to flash XFX 790i mobo with eVGA 790i bios ?
'fubarswe' reached 500MHz FSB with QX9650 on this board today. As I can remember it is VERY rare to see such high FSB with QX9650.

:up:
awwwww man!
AWSOME :eek:
I get the exact same thing, like the clocks won't stick. Tried all the drivers. Very odd.Quote:

Should start seeing results today, as they have now released the quad SLI drivers. The change log for XP versions says nothing about Quad support though. I bet Vince has had them for a bit though :)

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_174.53.html
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_174.53.html
I believe this applies to tri-sli as well. NVidia takes advantage of techonolgy specific to Vista to enable tri and quad sli.Quote:

OMG. Post already.....the wait is killing me. Hehe first post lol.
I bet Vince will do a Quad SLI with Skulltrail @ 5.8ghz and demolish the 3D mark world once and for all! At least I hope he does :D
Yeah, how come you havn't used those kickass 9775 skulltrailz before vince? Or even a 9770 over your 9650 that you have now for that matter?
Those are better and give you more points in 3dmark06 :)
http://www.sweclockers.com/imagebank...k3DMark001.png
point difference is marginal
790i boards are dead easy to OC and 9770 or good QX9650 frequencies will ultimately be higher (= better) than skulltrail
skulltrail has crap memory options and it's DDR2 as well
good overall system is also important '06 and other 3D tests :up:
the very thought of quad sli 9800's makes me quiver with excitement. You'll post crysis vids right? I mean, crysis at very high runin 40 fps would make a nice youtube video :P

If I recall.... the skulltrail system that fugger OC'd nearly broke 30k because of a 12k+ CPU score in 3DM06... why not do that same rig with LN2 cooled 9800GX2's in quad sli and see what the benchmark turns out? Im sure that a lot of driver issues are holding it back... but damn i would at least like to see them try.Quote:

Oh :banana::banana::banana::banana:, I completely forgot about this thread and the quad stuff :D
Been working with NVIDIA this week on the cold throttling and it's lookin good. I'm re-running all the single card marks later today after I get more tek units out, then quad results will come. New gpu units are making it impossible to find time to bench atm.
Good to hear, about the cold...Quote:
