Started testing EVGA designed 790iSLI mobo. Real nice board with quad so far. About 490max stable with quad through 2006. Should be a killer in SLI for 2006,2001, and in triple SLI for 2003 and vantage.
scales nice with FSB. Has vdroop feature now and also some higer voltage selections from bios for vcore/fsb/nb.

Top of the 2006 orb is green once again :D...for today at least.

nice, congrats!
Nice to see Nvidia first on 2k6 before 4870*2 arriving :D
wow, busting it up with an early version of that board, nice work Vince :up:
Awesome results Vince, Congrats :up:
Boom!
Nice one Vince :clap:
finally some nice clocks on GTX 280 :up: did you make some new mods on the cards Vince?
congrats anyway :clap:
Your a mod now Mark? :D Cool. Couldn't happen to a more deserving and classy guy :up:
congrats Vince, nice achievement, lets wait for new ATI cards and watch the battle :p:
Nice FSB and #1 spot, I guess 2 x R700 will do some damage in 06 just like 3870 X2 previously.
thx. Yah I expect from quad for sure.Quote:

Awesome 06 score :toast: :up: :clap:
hot damn! :)
any setup pics vince?
Very nice Vince! Actually I didn't think Nvidia had the power to take down 06 WR but seems you proved me wrong :D
(all about system performance though, hehe)
Xellent job :) Not a need for Vista at all again :up:
impressive ;)
compliments for wr :D
Very nice Vince.. Grats, the 790i board id killer for FSB.. Love your work!!
nice :up:.... congrats for WR.... i smell other 3dmarks soon? :D
Very nice numbers Vince :yepp:
When you gonna try the E8500/E8600 on that new 790i revision??
Can't wait to get my hands on a 790i FTW ..
Amazing job as always :up:
Congratz vince :clap:
Nice job Vince. How are you finding the vdroop on the board with the vdroop control turned on at high voltages?
For the sake of confusion with the 177.35 driver, did you download the beta 177.35?
I have not posted to the ORB in a while as the BS looks like it is still not resolved.
If you search 2K6 results for GTX 280 results that do show up they are 20K and under, when you click on them you will see the red warning on driver.
Your work to get this results should visible on the ORB along with all the 200 series.
Grats on overtaking the top spot.
Nice one, congrats!
Yawn. 12x multi is weak for 5700MHz, you need 11.5x. :D
Monster run, glad you got it together. :toast:
I ahve a question regaurding the 790i bios i dont get this part of it I am a little confused about my bios i have evga 790i ultra i thought having a memory ratio of 1:1 with fsb was best, yet every where i read about overclockign with this bios says that unlinked sucks and wields poor performance, you was to link the memory i have read, well how the hell can i do that when a 1:1 ratio is not listed, you get the usal 5:4 and what not there is however a linked section called sync, i ahve no idea what this provided or what it means i have been able so far to reach 1600mhz fsb and if i manualyl set memory to 800 i get my 1:1 ratio can someone please help me understand this my memory is rated at 2000mhz i ahve the ocz special memory for the 790i that can go to that, what should i be setting in my bios for best performance
jedson, please start a seperate thread of your own about this, this thread is not the place for questions of that nature. :)
congrats vince :up:
Sweet work Vince, i reckon u just served a bunch of whoop-ass...
Keep pushing it man...

Almost two months since launch and still no approved xp driver..
New cards will be out before these drivers get approved I bet. It's like what is the point then ya know?
Hey stranger :) I hear you are preparing for NVISION...love to hear that shammy. I think we will run this board as well as some other 790i's that rip with wolfdale 600+ with E8600. We'll do it all.Quote:

perfect job Vince! :up: I would be surprised if it wouldn't be done by you! ;)
Nice benching Vince! :toast: But where are the pictures? :p:
Nice to see green on top again:clap:
Another WR. :toast: well done Vince.
Great to see green at the top again. ;)
Here's one :DQuote:

Thanks for that pic jAkUp. Looks like a good candidate for the Innovatek water block kit.
Amazing numbers there Vince...congratz on the WR :toast:
Congrat's on the WR.
So the FTW edition is simply a version with a fan on the NB cooler and better 790i Ultra binning right?
Here are the differences from the 790i Reference to the FTW model:
- 100% Solid State Caps
- 8 Phase Power Design
- Ferrite Core Chokes
- 9 SATA
- VDroop Control
- More flexible BIOS (higher voltages)
- Dummy OC (Auto OC ability)
whoa. :yepp:
Very well done. I find the 790i will do quite nicely at 2ghz FSB really even with a Quady. I run minr 24/7 at 4ghz w/2ghz FSB. Stays quite cool also. Average SPP temp is around 51c.
And what is the price premium over the reference design?
Pricing should be similar to regular reference board maybe a bit more expensive. I was testing one today on LN2 but I picked out semi dead cpu from the batch. I will try again tomorrow with my 9770 or another 9650. Also will try my E8600 when it arrives. Board was posting colder than -100C no problems.
Impressive run with "only" ~5700MHz. I smell backup screenshots ;)
REALLY nice board with quad for 2006 and vantage.
This cpu is nothing specialy really too, so with a nice binned quad we could see some silly numbers again from SLI. 32.7k with two gpu cores and less than 5700mhz so silly.
Finally EVGA has delivered on what I have been begging for since launch of 790iSLI. No shutoffs when using super high vcore w/out droop, 8phase power, stable vcore under load, super high FSB sync.
I have been out of this too long.. logging in to check results agian today, and what do I meet..? 4-5 threads with KILLER scores.. just gotta love this.
"love" you all guys, keep it coming!!
good job King ;)
nice work KP!
I <3 my 790i, best DDR3 board out there imo.
Congrats! Epic 3DMarks! :shocked:
Congrat's on the WR.
I figured you were tired of seeing my units buddy :DQuote:

I can defintely see a difference with quad core cpu's in 2006 and vantage using this board over any other 790i. The FSB ROCKS even in triple SLI. Just started preparing for NVISION around here and might run some vantage this week on this board with 3 gtx280's. I am anxious to see what it can do there after there was sucess in 2k6. Check out the fsb stability in quad with three gpu's...compared to most other 790i boards I have tried with two or three cards, this is great. In 06 it can do 490+ so far...this is definitely the mobo me and sham will be use at NVISION for vantage, 2k6, and 2k3. For 2k1 not sure yet, havent tested the ftw with E8600 much yet.Quote:

There is supposed to be a new forceware driver in the not so distant future that we will get to use at the event.
Will that driver bring good improvements over the existing ones?Also what do you know about the new bang?Is it really just a new driver?
Lets hope for nice performance increase, especially in vantage. From what I heard, big bang will be in full effect at NVISION :D. Dont' know what it is..Quote:

Nice results Kingpin ( or do you want to be called the nameless one :p: ) :up:
Looking forward to the results from Nvision :D
Nice score men :-) . congrats
Amazing score
congratz
Looks great once ag.
the FTW seems really interesting
Yah big bang 2 :D. Sounds pretty serious eh?Quote:

I was abit afraid for you when I heard nvidia would not be making chipsets no more for nehalem. still am since while they are allowed to make them their limited to mainstream platform not high end. Seems you won't be benching on Nvidia chipsets when that comes around :(
Always liked seeing you do things the other way :up:
I freaked when they told me no nehalem support long time ago. SLI "bridge" chip on intel chipset is fine with me in the end :DQuote:

Marketing people can be silly eh? At computex every manuf that had an overclocker doing demos intro'd them as "the worlds top overclocker" :D.
Those are not my words...and not my idea for promotion.
Shamino will be my benching partner, someone who I consider to be the one of the worlds best overclockers if not THE best overclocker in the world :up:
He got on board after promo was done I guess.
From what he has been telling me about his work with gtx280, we could do some SERIOUS vantage damage in triple SLI. 4870x2 xfire vantage is not really what I expected..maybe it will get better with new drivers though :shrug:
http://www.nvidia.com/theforcewithin Those drivers? :wasntme:
You can get the 790i FTW now, it is available here:
