Gunna try some SLI action Today:)

Finally got me a few nVidia 6800 Ultra cards, MSI.
I'm gunna test them on a couple of Swiftech MCW-50 Tec blocks today.

Looks like fun, see if I can't get into the Top 20 on the ORB:D

Somehow I think you wont have a problem getting into the top 20 there OPP. :D

Opp: If you are trying for 05, you might want to try out the newest driver 76.41 (came out today and looks like it is the fastest for 05 of the bunch)unless u whql only...

Good setup buddy,
Besure to press:
shift F2(press together) and then alt f3
and use ati/nv speed up to OC your video card.
like this you will see under bios.

The DFI have the Same Spacing between slots as the MSI, they both have 1 slot between them.

try to use some sort of ram sink on the mem.
I had lost about 40 mhz from the ram when I removed the ram sinks from my 6800 in the past, then when I took the mem think off, and filed it down, to get a much tighter fit on the ram, I gained another 20-30 mhz or so by having it tight on the ram.

I was under the impression that it had been proven with a MM that voltage is a constant ~1.4v, no separate 2d/3d or throttle volt....?

fugger was telling me the other day about a trick that works for him.

I think it went something like this.

get the cascade alittle cold, like -20, boot up, and max out the voltage, let it get into windows and clockgen your way up.
the extra voltage, and overclocking from windows up while your not at your max coldness, may do the trick to keep you just warm enough to run the CPU without windows going nuts.

Left side of this resistor (+) and any ground for VGPU. Your voltage will increase once Windbloze loads the drivers so don't start too high. VR-Zone has a nice BIOS mod for an extra .1v also. I got my cards to 1.77 with pencil/BIOS mods.

I thought pc ice got the Venice so I assumed opp used the winny. well we know the venice is good for -40c, -90c is a whole different story which even some fx55s cant handle. I am not to worried, it depends on the cpu and I believe at least some venice and diego will take -90c

Hey opp, I'm not sure I'd use those 80watt TEc's.

at 13.7V you're looking at about 70watts of cooling power. If you put any sort of load on these cards, I'm afraid the temps will skyrocket. I would look into some 172watt 24V pelts at 24V.

You're free to do what you want, I'd just hate to see you burn up those cards.

And if you try it with those 80watt TEc's, I hope I've drastically overestimated the 6800Ultra's power consumption on the core.

Just watch the card temps.

I would have to agree. My 50-T would not handle a X800XT under load at stock volts with 13+v on the TEC. The temp would slowly climb and not stop. And that was with water cooled to around 8 C by drawing cold outside air to rad.

My memory ran good, 1300s, the core on the other hand sucked, 470. I need to test each card seperatly and see if one card is a dog or somthing, if so I'll have to replace it.
I didn't use the mods, the cards were hot enough as it was.

Next will be with cascade cooling, an extra 100C of cooling should take care of bussiness.

Yea, I really believe that one card is holding back. The core of 470 is just plain bad.

My memory ran good, 1300s, the core on the other hand sucked, 470. I need to test each card seperatly and see if one card is a dog or somthing, if so I'll have to replace it.
I didn't use the mods, the cards were hot enough as it was.

Next will be with cascade cooling, an extra 100C of cooling should take care of bussiness.

Those aren't Futuremark approved and won't propably never be. Better to run with approved drivers so the score is legit, right?

Are you sure on that boss? sure it's just one slot on both but i think MSI has some more milimeters to play, I say this because one of my MCW50-T's does not fit between the cards, unless I'm doing something wrong.

That is a difficult question to answer to be honest. In one sense you want a driver set that has no IHV cheats, so 66.93 is the one, but on the other hand as everyone is using the same IHV in this case it does not matter.

But on the other hand the top scores have been done with 66.93, which currently beats later driver with tweaks so if the later drivers are now used will that mean that the new record holder ever beat the old score and so had the fastest rig ?

But on the other hand nvidia drivers are always progressing and benching multiple drivers over time is part of the fun. It also makes people with onetime LN2 put more effort in and cost to keep up with the OEM heatsink guys with the latest drivers :p: :D

On the whole though I'd say at present 66.93 is the way to go to see who is top dog.

well i never had 66.93 drivers work in SLI for either of 2x XFX 6800GT PCI-E or 2x eVGA 6800U PCI-E on Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and DFI NF4 SLI-D only driver that worked in SLI was 71.24, 71.25, 71.84, 75.90, 76.10 and 76.41

You guys need to get some $$ and go for the dual tyan PCI-e board.

It supports two 16x pci-e slots via two "INDEPENDENT NVIDIA CHIPSETS ON ONE BOARD" and yeilds up to a 1k lead in 3dmark 2k5 due to the increases speed.

2 opterons 248 2.2ghz =$900
tyan mobo $500
2x 6800u =you already have
4x512 ch-5 ecc/reg ram $450

That's a good start OPP! Yep, it definitely takes two good cards to pull of top SLI scores. Aside from having two solid cards, I also have a secret "hint" on maximizing your overclock in SLI. PM me if you'd like:)

You can't o/c the CPU there so I don't think you can take WR. MAYBE in 05?

yeah only talking about 05 :) since 2k1 is about to be phased out 2k5 will take over as the preimer benchmark and cpu has little effect at all on score :)

plus the folding power of a dual 2.2-2.6ghz opteron setup "yum"

I think he's refering to the use of LN2@cpu in the last runs, wich are not published yet ;)
