maybe your SLi not working properly in DX10 mode

DX9 1600x1200 AA=4x, 32 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 43.555
DX9 1680x1050 AA=4x, 32 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 33.905

DX9 1600x1200 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 42.78
DX9 1680x1050 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 33.3

Using 64 bit DX9 it takes a very slight hit. I'll have to see if I can find any tests that I ran using one 8800 GT at these resolutions using DX10, AA=4x, 64 bit and High. Is there a know DX10 problem using SLI?

This is the closest I could find.
SLI
DX10 1600x1200 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 13.15
Single
DX10 1680x1050 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 12.63

I've never tried DX9 32 bit or 64 bit with a single 8800 GT.

so

SLI :

DX9 1600x1200 AA=4x, 32 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 43.555
DX9 1600x1200 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 42.78
DX10 1600x1200 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 13.15

Single

DX10 1680x1050 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 12.63

--------------------------------------

like i suspected its not 32bit/64bit problem , but DX10 mode @ SLI ;)

looks like only 1 card running when in Dx10 mode @ SLI

It's certainly different this time, if the 7950 wasn't so bad then the 8800 wouldn't have been the omgwtfbbq performance leap that it was. This time they made a decent job of their GX2, so the next single GPU was always going to be labeled disappointment by some people from the start.

i have the feeling its a ram/os issue rather than an inherent flaw of crossfire/sli

i've been using 2x9800GX2 + E8500@4+GHz on Vista 64(4x1GB DDR3) and i was hoping i'd be able to play Crysis @1920x1200(since 2560x1600 is still a slideshow)

The framerate was decent,i think it was around 40fps(according to Fraps) BUT the game was not playable at all.The in-game delay was about 300-500ms when an explosion or gunshot occured,just like lagging in a multiplayer game.As you can understand,this effect cancels the extra power of the second card,it actually delivered "on screen" worst result than a single card.

I am not sure if this is called "microstuttering",i had to read/learn about it while trying to tune my system.Correct me if i'm wrong

So,i guess the GTX280SLI will perform much better compared to 9800GX2 SLI because of better synchronization

i get a bit of lag with explosions, when im in the middle of them....in bf2142 :eek:...with my gt @ 8xQ. but lag is very rare.

crysis is the dog.

well, who's gonna be the guinea pig for this one? :lol:

somethings bottlenecking those gx2's, and i dont think it's fixable. (:slapass:) would it be smooth at 5GHz? cpu? at those settings? somehow i doubt it. it is an sli/scaling/sync problem i think, until proven wrong.

Lol, they'll get a lot of interest at that price.

Why are you taking a bigger hit at 1680x1050 then at 1600x1200 :confused::confused:

The next gen will be even poorer...

I think the first good cards come out in 2012.

Pre-order in, hopefully price drop to $500 is true and I can get a credit... free assassin's creed, $4 overnight shipping with Prime, hoping for some goodness :D!

D10U = 65NM GT 200
D11U = 55NM GT 200 with some minor enhancements mid next year
D12U = Completely new architecture.

That's what I've heard around the web. Plus, the fact that Nvidia has already stated that the G92b (9800 series on 55nm) will be around for 6-12 months more so yea, no new high end very soon.

my god..

i guess its true, nothing is holding back any games bar crysis. Truely a bad sign, well good for cost but you know what i mean. I guess its not all bad, but at least newer games should run as smooth as butter (or almost) even on G80 cards.

do you know a time gap between the D11U and D12U? :shrug:
