I'm using SLI with 8800GT's I have not had any video freezing issues. I've played all kinds WMP11, mastroka, divx, huge 1080P movies too.Quote:

Just out of interest I have just noticed that removing my PCI soundcard has increased my memory scores in Everest noticeably. Have you tried removing yours and trying the video. Do you get better Everest scores also?Quote:

And No, I havent tried benching w/out the sound card neither. How much did your score increased without the soundcard?
I dont think this is Prelude related because people with Xtremegamers and other cards are also having this freezes.
Im going to give this a last try, going to install 175.80 Beta with 0801 from scratch but Im going to make sure I create an image with Acronis this time. If this doesnt work, I hope tomorrow when I wake up I see a post from pmp saying "new bios 0802 changelog-> fixed isolated video issues" lol!
What m8 does mean?
I understand your point, what I am suggesting is that the PCI slot is somehow interfering with the performance of the board. It probably does not matter what card is in there. My memory scores have definitely improved, and surely it is worth a try|!?Quote:

Im tired of installing XP multiple times as well as updating it, installing my programs, trying different drivers, BIOS files to experience video freezes no matter what. Im DONE!
I just finished installing XP. I only installed nForce drivers (all), made an Acronis image, installed geForce 175.80, K-lite mega codec pack 3.9.5 and VIDEO FREEZES STILL PRESENT.
Im going to play some CS, install msn and try to relax for a while...
m8=mate, how clever am I, hahaha. I am spanish, and speak a basic english, thanks for your help...
Anybody here has gskill pi modules?
Well I've just played a 9GB MKV file for an hour with no freezes, SLi enabled. I guess I am Ok now!! Bios 0704.Quote:

You gave me the greatest bios however Pmp for the original striker (1501 that is) Still runs strong at 450FSB daily with an E8400 ! no more SLI though...
And I second ya statement, some boards are fab out of the box, some will never ever be....
Remind yourself - when it was keeping in mind when nF680i started...
I'm not trying to discourage anybody of using nVidia chipsets, but my belief, now after so much time is that is the only way to push nVidia to create USABLE chipsets - or abandon them at all. It wouldn't be pity...
I started using SLI because of my personal love for large LCD displays, but what it gave me ? A lot of work to do :) Life is too short to spend every night on trying to make nVidia chip stable more or less...
From engineering side - keep in mind that QC of nVidia chipsets - basically sucks. This is the reason one board could be so much better than another one, etc. This also makes BIOS develompent much more complex than you imagine.
I guess this is my last NVIDIA board. Next time, Ill make sure instead of spending $400 on 2 8800GT, I will buy one REALLY GOOD card paired with an Intel chipset. This is it, I cant believe after weeks of getting it estable and no corruptions, I end up with SLI problems. Thats ridiculous.Quote:

Just want to ask you (pmp) something before I start looking deeper into Intel boards, was your tuesday release the BIOS 0801 that you gave us today? Because if it is, then I guess Im going to start a revolution demanding NVIDIA for a BIOS that makes SLI work...
I'd abandon this board in a second if someone would release a single card soloution that would drive my 30" to my satisfaction... but since there isn't a sloution like that, I'm f'n stuck with this POS :(
I were. For two years. Frankly, last month i kicked out 3 home PC built on nVidia chipsets. I spent more time with working with them, than on them...Quote:

I moved my ass to Skulltrail platform, and guess what? No need to do anything :) Everything i set - works... :clap:
I moved my 2nd PC for Intel chipset, and guess what? No need to pray! :clap:
Maybe nF790i have an advantage over X48 in terms of DDR3 driving and it's SLI capable, but where's the point if almost everything else sucks...
I'm sorry my english is not so good. I didn't understood ?Quote:

To clarify what you didnt understand. Remember when you said this
Quote:
To be precise - 780i based Asus boards (P5N-T Deluxe, Striker 2 Formula, P5N72-T Premium) have already alpha BIOS ready.
790i - should be ready by Tuesday.
Well, according to this, I think you meant a new BIOS would come out (tomorrow tuesday june 10) for 790i fixing this SLI issues, but then you came today and gave us 0801. Is this what you meant? Or should we expect a new BIOS tomorrow that finally fixes SLI issues?
Oh yeah I forgot
I dont know if this has anything to do with my problems, I see it weird cause many people mentioned this. Im not a motherboard expert but does this seem strange? :para:

Hah, now i get what you were reffering to. No, there's another build of nVidia code floating around, not included in 0801... ready for new build ? :rofl: check the thread tommorow :DQuote:

If I was you I'd RMA the board, no problems with tri-sli on my board :shrug:
