Get an OCZ 600W or PCP&P monster for the GPU's only and overvolt it to 13. All your problems gone! :)

hell, just get a 700 watt Zippy and mod the lines yourself ;)
never worry about power again...
by again, I mean for like a month, till they release something new, haha...
yes... that 700w of power is actual continuous power, if u calculate the peak wattage from the amperage specs, it comes out to something crazy like 950w, hell ... you could power TWO sli setups of that, lolQuote:

Id like to see a 9800pro and a slow cpu beat an x800pro and a fast cpu. in 2001 thats easy, in 2003 not a chance!(well maybe if you somehow get your cpu to like 500MHz underclock but thats besides the point) 2003 behaives alot like what nature in 2001 does
I've seen the screenshoots of the scores over n' over and i'm still :slobber: :eek: :slobber:
That's really nice numbers, from other planet like someguy said here before...
Congrats Shamino, very nice no doubt about that :bows:
Btw how about some action of HL2, Farcry, Doom3 with that setup of yours...
I guess fraps will show fps like u never seen before :D
Get that fx55 m8 :)

I barely break 4300 in 01 :rotf:Quote:

let me ask you something.
do you speak from actual experience?
have you ever messed with a 6800 or X800?
have you ever messed with a 3 ghz A64 or anything yet?
cause I have, many times.
my 6800 modded, with 16 pipelines, and the 6 VS.
at 490/1290 at 10x270, 1:1 at cas 2-2-2-6 watercooled did 14,100.
the same set up, with dry ice added, and running this time at 12x255 at 1:1. cas 2-2-2- and all that usual stuff... with the videocard at 490/1290 again.
same clocks as before, got me about 15,200.
only difference was 350 mhz more.
even less bandwidth this time to top it off.
so where did the extra 1000+ come from?
now, he's running just a tad under 3100 mhz here, with a 512 cache.
if he had a extra 400+ mhz, with that cascade of his, and alittle more tweaking.
plus the extra benifit of the 1 meg cache, it doesn't seem all that unlikely to see 30K with SLI.
especially when you start realizing theres some guys benchmarking at 3.6 ghz and such.
Do you mean fast cpu with a slow gpu and slow cpu with a fast gpu because I am confusedQuote:

omg, 28k in 3dmark03. i'm gonna go run and hide in my little hole now.
Just something to ponder:
With 1 card I can get 7.4K while 2 cards at the exact same clocks I get 12.4K... Boost of 5K pts, thats 70% efficiency of the SLI... I had hoped for 80% efficiency at least... perhaps the CPU bottleneck is also partly to blame.
of course I have no experience, but one thing I will say, 2003 is nowhere near as cpu intensive as 2001. we do not know for sure what he will gain in 2003 with more cpu clocks, but ill just be quiet now, sit back and congratulate him on. he may or may not break 30k, I dont even have a prediction for this. I do wonder what your 2001 score is ;)
since 3dmark03 love P4 so much. maybe perhaps try the dual 3.2 Xeon(gallatin if you can find) setup with SLI? just a suggestion. :)Quote:

i'm still not sure if the P4 have the edge over A64 in 3dmark05 yet. it seems to be much closer.
Zippy 700W PSU :)
45A 12v rail... that should do the trick :)
32,400 something.Quote:

beating down 6800 GT scores like a fat kid in a pie eating contest.
kickin ass against some of the 6800 Ultras to.
Hmmm...I have a feeling its about to get a lot hotter in Alaska LOLQuote:

Seriously, though, Kunaak...I see you're gearing up for the next big thing.
But from someone who is seriously going for SLI, what factors did you decide upon for choosing SLI over R520.
(Forgive me for being inquisitive, I hope it doesnt show any bias)
Perkam
Sheer speed? I've played DooMIII/FarCry at 1600x1200/4xAA/16xAF on stock clocked, SLI'ed 6800 GT's, FX-55 and MSI Neo Diamond and couldn't believe how fast that setup was... Ran into power issues just like Shamino though.
stock GT's got me like 16.5k in '03, 8k in '05 and 27k in '01.
SLI is meant for 1600x1200 4xAA/8, 16xAF and nothing less than that.
Awesome scores Shamino, keep'em coming bro i know 30k will be yours.
edit :
i have no idea how to hook up a decent cooling unit to two 6800's on MSI mobo. Maybe one pwerful evap and a cold plate would cut it but i can't imagine two evaps on this mobo.
Either cpu bottleneck or else there is a lot more to come with the drivers.Quote:

geforce the reson that cpu clocks increase speed is cause the gpu is hungry, it has all this rendering power but needs stuff to render, has to wait on the cpu
just the usual hardware cycling.Quote:

I had a X800 pro the day best buy had them to sell.

just my usual hardware curiousity, nothing in particular.
I'd get R520 stuff if it was out there to get.
SLI just looks like some fun stuff to play with.
What PSU have you?Quote:

Its not gonna matter much how fast the gpu is, itll just spend a larger % of its time waiting.

understood sir, nice move too. however we are curious to see what sli does for 3dmark 2001, especially in nature. even if you refuse to run 3dmark 2001, not that itll matter since youd be 100% cpu limited in every test but nature, it might be of interest to see if sli is capable of 400+ fps in nature
