    18-19% gain...that's definitely not enough. Nice attempt though.

    BTW, why did they make the 965 dual GPU capable in the first place? At least 2X8 would have been cool...Ill stick with 975X.

    Yeah, I would expect at least 50% gain minimum. After all you are paying 100% of the cost for having SLI!

    I guess that x4 is really crippling performance on the highend, I wonder if we'll see similar results with lower end cards.

    P5W DH here at 3.4ghz E6600 and 2x7900GTX 85.96 drivers my SLI setup gets 10,768 in comparison to my A8N32-SLI w/2.7ghz X2 4400+ I was getting 9,200 so 975 kicks butt even though not officially supported SLI runs optimal.

    Gigabyte DS4 + 6600@3.15Ghz + 350FSB + 2 x 7900GT + 2x512MB
    3dmark05 - 16747
    3dmark06 - 9445

    Asus P5B + 6800@3.5Ghz + 500FSB + 2x7900GTX + 2 x1024MB
    3dmark05 - 15162
    3dmark06 - 8530

    So we can safely say there has to be a bug here with the P5B , seems the lower clocked , limited fsb ,less ram , slower video cards wipes the floor with the P5B Sli Setup.

    DS4 seems to be the board left out of the picture on xs.org :P

    With the P5B_D you need to force the 2nd PC_e16 slot into X4 speed by going into southbridge chipset configuration....[X2/X1 Mode(compatible)] [X4/ disabled Mode (Fast)]

    So just make sure it's set to disabled and not Compatable then retest.

    Overclocked 7950 GX2 for teh win. There's nothing I can't play @ 1680x with whatever amount of filtering I desire.

    Card runs very well under BIOS 0507.

    Thankyou Coolaler! I have been thinking about SLI on P5B as well Shame about poor score scaling. Hope some BIOS digging and tweaks can get scores up, if the Giga board can do better
