From what I understand the Sli bridge will make a difference, there is some controversy regarding "pcb board bridge" giving better results versus "flex bridge".

hehehehe...Race eh! I'm a canuck,eh!
your marks are pretty darn good in o5 and 06 (higher than mine), I'm not sure if I could better your's.

I'm gonna juice up the clocks on the cards and see what happens.....

race, eh!! you wanna win, eh!!!

by the way, I love asparagus

I can only do 1600x1050, but will try and see what happens.

You've got a good o/c on the e6600, what settings you use?

just volt modded my BFG 7900GT and it does 700/800 upgraded my eVGA one to 1.5v (a .1v bump) so what are the rules - do we use SLI Bridges?-> because I don't have one that fits yet (double wide) getting one on eBay so no holds barred w/o bridge or cpu speed limited? LOL I'm gonna try and make first strike.

The Goat Eater = Strikeforce 1

usually goat eater means gto killer, u like hot cars?

more like hot women- then cars

ok quick post - my zalman vf900 cooled 7900gts @700/800 - just a warning I'll be cranking up the heat!LOL! wait til I get that SLI Bridge (don't know if it'll help):banana:

Please try it. I get 125 fps SLI on and 125 fps single card. FEAR and 3dmark get great boosts. CoD2 gameplay gets bogged down to 100 fps sometimes with SLI, 4x slot overload or something?

WOW, you really got that 3dmark05 score much higher.
That's a healthy improvement, wonder what will happen with SLi bridge?

AFIREINSIDE,

WEIRD THING WITH THESE BOARDS, you get great o/c and video performance suffers, I'll bet that if cpu at default the video score will improve.

That is what you get with careful use of conductive ink pen, auto masking tape, a straight edge ruler, and a ZALMAN VF900 get ya - oh and a Xacto knife. PLANNING is key:toast:
Be prepaired for higher scores

oh and mineral spirits:banana:

I beat coolaler in '06 w/ this board - but he could still kick my butt!- after I get some sleep I'll do better BTW these are w/ the 84.56s!

No SLI Bridge yet but still getting good scores but BF2 performance still seems like it did with the single video card -currently trying to get over 9000 in '06

Got 9014 in '06@ 3.5, yeah- is this good compared to real SLI? I'm waiting for the revised nvidia boards! How about Crossfire scores on this board - got links?

This is SLi with no bridge? or, single card score?

SLI w/ no bridge

So let me get this straight, the P5b with 965 chipset doesn't have 2x16x pci-e.. but the 975x DH does?

I'm pretty sure it is one 16x or 2 8x slots

Any idea what people are getting with crossfire on this board?

Getting a SLI Bridge - flex or PCB - which is better?

Definately flex.

Try to get one from an Asus board. Or call a shop, they might have some lying around...

Found one on eBay from a good seller - but I get 12028 3d'05 marks w/ one eVGA 7900GT at 710/1820 so I think I am going to take back the BFG 7900GT and wait for the 8800s:toast:

and 6902 in '06 with the single eVGA 7900GT - gonna take that BFG back for sure!
