hehehe... 99.998% of modern multi-media/gamer users are using WinXP, the target audience is the guy with full eye-candy, high-rez wallpaper/SS, custom skins and yes, WinXP.Quote:

I only use Win2K when benching, I LIKE WinXP for 24/7 usage.... well mostly ;)

The SLI isn't optimal in 01, but wouldn't it be posible to take the WR or with higer overclocks on the cards? And WR is nice even if the score isn't optimal and many test loses to a ATI card.Quote:

OPP: are you gonna do some 3dmark01 benching with your SLI rig?
Any more news, cant see anything changing up on the orb atm..........

well lets hope ati's verson of amr, sli, whatever supports win2k. I dont care if we are in the minority, we are the few, the fast, the proud ;) SLI isnt going to touch even a single ati card in 2001 for several reasons. No one has gotten even 41k with sli and the top SLI score is 3k below opp's score and opp is ahead of sli in 6 of 7 tests.
Well yeah, but we haven't seen a 2k1 supercooled-SLI score yet... I think it's doable.
with no win2k support for sli and with the excessive cpu load, sli isnt gonna touch a single r520 except in nature, sorry
What does R520 have to do with it? It's not going to be available for a few months.
Back to this nightmare:D
I tested my cards seperatly, they seem to do about the same.
I think that everyone that talked about the MCW50-Tecs I used is right about the 80W pelt not being enough.
From what I could see, I Idled at about 13C and under load they shot up to 43C, they probably could have gotten even hotter if the bench was longer.
I think thats way to much varience in temps to make the card stable.
I have some MCW50 straight waterblocks I'm gunna try today and see how it does.
I have no clue at this point when my -80C system will be up and running:D
OPP
^^^^
Good luck m8
Been waiting to see what you're gunna turn out with everything hopped up. :)
Opp> That tec setup is it with or without vmods ??
you should run a 2 loop water chiller. even ice water with those two mcw50 blocks will remove more heat faster than those 2 80w tec's :)
Hey OPP
I just start to imagine what you will be facing when you'll have to OC like 4 cards or what at the same time with ATI's x cards rendering tech :D Cascades everywhere.
Two serious OCers won't be allowed anymore to live in the same area because of the power suckin'.
Opp, SLI is a tricky beast. I used it for about two weeks. I got some killer scores, but didnt like the feeling it left in my stomach. Back to single card again, and waiting for the 520. Good luck man.
The straight water blocks should be OK, 43C is not that hot for 6800 but you might be right about the large variation causing problems.
Any volt mods yet Opp ?
On a slightly different topic your Venice review does not sound too good for FX-57 San Diego core if that 90nm process does not like cascade temps like Venice doesn't ?!
Regards
Andy
Last night PCIce told me he tested a 3800 Venice, it worked good on -90C, so things may be looking up for the FX-57.Quote:

How are those GPU temps now?
you better remove the rad and put the tubes directly in the ice.
;)
Temps stay at about 30C, but the bottom line is I got 30MHz better core clocks from the Rad on the Rocks:DQuote:

It would work pretty good actually, problem is the water would heat up very fast so it be a quick bench session.Quote:

I figuer I got about 15-20C better cooling temps. Plus, I was then able to use the volt mod.Quote:

Lastly is PCIce partly sponsored by any manufactures? I thought I read in the ATi lan party/oc festival he picked up some sponsorship with Saphire and AMD.
