hehe..you guys are nuts. Looks like team Hellas has a nice hardware resource :D
Looking forward to results Bill.

:lol: :lol: As I was scrolling down I thought there was gonna be something like 500K Aqua or similar :D

this is the most expensive gpu solution I've ever seen.
Really wish dual quad would work but I don't think it'll ever happen.
This potential in there is unimaginable and the pictures are just :eek2:

Just looking at the pics again - any chance you can attmpt to interconnect to 2 SLI bridges - maybe this could unlock SLI - as I'd imagine without the birdges interconnecting all the card - it'd be a no go for sure.

SHould be an easy ( but tedious )soldering job between the 2 bridges ( but not sure what would happen - so careful.....)

Nice!

Too bad you couldn't get Oct SLi to fully work. Need to OC that CPU.

Hey guys...do not criticize so much the score..i only did it to see if 4(4x2)cards can play together and for fun...when we will go for scores i will tell you..:D

@mikeguava the cards are 4 x dual pcb..:D

I tried on this mobo with SLI configuration to
16 x 16
8 x 8 x 8 x 8
16 x 8 x 8 x 0
3D1 to 3D1 connection(3D1 was the dual gpu on the same pcb Gigabyte's 6600GT's)

but with no luck to achieve octal..:(
Hipro will ''closely examine'' them though...but i can't quarantee nothin'...

@kIngpIn i think the best setup for those cards would be the 590 chipset with one X6800..:D

hi dude nice cards do ya have there.

those scores are "single"?

hey gorillakos i have an idea to try

take the card apart and run it without the other card attached? maybe it will oc wonderfully this way.

anyone think that could damage it? you have 14 so maybe just try it one one rofl maybe it will clock to 700mhz easily on stock volts that way and 1ghxz with volts and water hehe one could dream.

14 :stick:

you have to "share"

With the auto detect , the freqencies goes easily to 550/700 from 500/600....but stock heatsink doesn't allow me to push them further without artigacts etc..:slapass:

The memories are 1.4ns chips...

But in the 4X 7950 you only have 2 sets of SLI'd 7950 that aren't interconnected. That's why I am thinking that connecting the SLI bridges would need to be necessary

But on this board you can't even run dual sli. So Gorillakos' setup as it is now (2x7950 sli pairs) isn't able to run as such. For now, this board can ONLY run ONE PAIR of cards in SLI. Plus, wouldn't he need another pair of connectors on the 7950's to link them?

so you did try to run the card while taken apart? only trying the side with pci-e connector obviously? did you actually try this???

@mikeguava...the 4 cards( 4 x2 i mean) have only 4 connectors that means 2 bridges...like the 7900GX2's..:D

The bridges are right...i tried to an FX60 today...i tried special quad sli drivers too...but they did not support 7950 yet..:(

@Stephen..the cards are fully connected...:(

@brandib...i will not try it...

and looking your cards my Kong looks like a little monkey....

congrats GoriLLakoS and keep it coming

If we can get drivers that work for quad I will be interested how much more cpu overhead you get for Quad over standard Sli .. hopefully it is not double and it levels out before that. Ideal would be no more at all. If it's double then 2001 is a no go and 05 might be too.

lol, that must be one hell of a cpu bottleneck :D

When the score is lower at some benches with 4 cards...you can see that the cpu score is lower than with 1 cards....it seems that stock fx60 is making bottleneck to 4 cards too..:D

Thanks for the benchies, Gorrilakos. Any chance you could run 3DMark2001?

Yeap..:D

I will try tomorrow with a better cpu too...:D

I want also to make an excel with the differences between 1 nad 2 cards..:D
